Odd behaviour of a Model D

[tauzero]

I recently bought a Model D secondhand (after @Quatschmacher seemed to have sold his, hence not buying his). Trying to play notes via MIDI, using a keyboard with a 5-pin MIDI output direct into the Model D, the Model D only plays a note on every second keypress - for example, if I press and release C, a C will sound and stop, then if I press C again, nothing, then if I press it again, I get C. This applies whether it's the same key or different keys - a note will only sound on every second keypress. I'm sure this must be some switch setting I have wrong. Does anyone know what is causing this odd behaviour and how to fix it?

You might have poly chain mode turned on? See section 4.9.3 in the manual.

Spot on. Thanks, that's that sorted out then.

I presume Behringer. Haven’t sold mine as the buyer found the postage too high. Not too sad as it’ll come in handy for beta testing a cool new thing I’ll be getting this week…

 

Would recommend setting the mod wheel behaviour to one of the non-linear modes.
