Player Hold function

OP-XY
1

I had a song working perfectly, but then I updated my OP-XY from firmware 1.1.14 to 1.1.21, which seems to have changed the behavior of the Player Note Hold function.

In Scene 1, Track 3, I had a bass note triggered once on Step 1 and held. In Scene 2, Track 3 used an empty pattern. The bass note would continue playing and remain held across multiple scenes until another note was triggered in Scene 6. So far, that worked exactly as intended.

However, after the update, this behavior has changed. Now, the bass note in Scene 1, Track 3 is held within that scene, but as soon as the next scene starts, the note stops playing.

I have tried a few different things, but I haven’t managed to restore the behavior I had before the update.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a held note continue across multiple scenes again, or if there is now another way to achieve the same result?

I also tried the same pattern with that hold activated on the next scene but you can clearly hear that the bass note is triggered again… And also an empty pattern with hold activated does not work.

thats a bit unfortunate. maybe this is s bug and you should report it?

as a workaround i would do the following and use step components. e.g you put your note to hold on Step 1 and on step 16 you add the step component jump and jump to step e.g 9. then you wont retrigger the note. if you have another scene where you want the note still to be hold, use the same pattern there. i just tried it and it seems to work (a new pattern will break this, but the same pattern on a new scene should work)

let me know if this helps and maybe i would still contact the support
