hi there,

unfortunately, nothing new ... the second answer from Daniel/Alesis was not very encouraging, he couldn´t reproduce it, but at least he promised to forward my email to some engineers ...

> Are you sure it isn't a defective pedal?

No, would be easy then ... I´ve tried different ones, that all work at all other devices e.g. at a Kurzweil PC88. Other users have the same error, btw ...
but indeed, the pedal itself could be a hint:
It could be that the input of the A6 pedals is not debounced (I don´t know if it is the right electronic terminus, this is just a literally translation from german). I hope someone, who understands what I mean, can give me the right word. I mean, interference during switching the pedal from off to on (or vice versa) will lead to serverel transitions between the two states and thus cause to much internal information.
I will try to suppress it electronically from the outside of the A6. Just an idea. Any comments on this approach ....?

Hi Matt, thanks for letting me not alone ;-)  Have you given up to ask them ?
Anyone more who have seen the behavior ... I would like to put a little more pressure behind my request to Alesis. Maybe it helps ...

Quite old your post, Matt !

This is interesting, and a pity! External sequencers don´t help. Is this realy true? Or was it something else ...

best regards

BTW: is it intended that the complete a6code404 mailing archive (full raw) cannot be downloaded, but only the single ones?
