On the Octatrack I experienced more stability by using trigless trigs(the green ones) when I used standard midi note on/off triggers it would invariably freeze up the NDLR, so instead I went with CC automation and avoided the note on off.
there is a bit of lag when sending chord and degree changes. its just not as tight as I would expect out of a normal sequencer. So I can parameter lock a chord type change, but then to change the other chord or pad attributes, I find myself putting those triggers a step before the chord type trigger as a work around. I find this is doable but not ideal...mainly because the sequencers timeline is a bit more cluttered...versus having a neat set of macro cc's sent to automate the NDLR.
this strategy has also resulted in less hung notes on the Spectralis D-synth. so far.
So currently to get cc automation right is to place the not just a midi cc trig to set the desired change in attribute....but also placing it prior to the Chord type and also setting another midi cc trig to return the attribute to its prior setting.
fingers crossed to have a no crash day as I automate the spread, range, and strum attributes.
This makes sense, as that is exactly how those changes take place. If you press a chord type button, it waits to execute the change until the next Chord degree is selected. That can be the same chord degree or a different chord degree. You will see the chord shape change appear in blue, then turn white when the chord degree is selected.
I'm just starting to set up my octatrack to test this, would you care to give me some of the parameters of your project so that I can try to get the same setup as much as possible?
Especially interested in making it crash, so not the stuff that's working well please
