I’ve just uploaded version 3.7.6 for poly cinematic. This is a bug fix that solves some midi issues I recently noticed. There was a situation where the All note off command sent from a sequencer when stopped could introduce some erroneous pitch bend to poly cinematic. Midi clock and other transport related messages could also corrupt the midi input and this is all now fixed in 3.7.6. Let me know if you notice any other issues but I think this is the most robust version to date particularly if used with a DAW.

Thanks a lot for the latest update. It's really bringing many benefits. To me especially the "presets" are very handy, always having two good kicks ready. The "shift+decay" combo for changing the sidechain envelope got me thinking whether it would be possible to do the same with the "punch" and "bend". It would open up so many more possibilities to shape the kicks. Personally I like bend shorter than the whole decay. As if this wasn't enough to ask I'd also like to have envelope control for "drive". I imagined something like "shift+drive" fully clockwise would keep distortion always on and dialling back counter clockwise will make an envelope get pluckier. I'd like that because often kicks have (or at least the ones I like) distorted transients and a clean tail. Lastly to me it would seem easier to understand if the sidechain envelope length were the combo "shift+sidechain depth". 🥁

Hey all, love my polyC, but been having a lot of midi issues lately: Pretty often, I have to factory reset it. it's like, it looses the midi channel it was set to? it's honestly become pretty unreliable. Last night however, it got into this state where it would just trigger it'sself. whatever last chord it held. So I tried a factory reset, unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing. thought it was a stuck note so i pulled the midi cable and reset it again but it made no difference, little dude just sat there, flashing it's little chord, seemed like it was getting faster and faster too. so after I'd pulled every patch, factory reset it 3 or 4 times and nothing changed, i just gave up, turned off the rack, and went to bed. Booted it up tonight and it no longer accepts any midi, on any channel. same cable, same controller nothing changed from what was a previously working setup. my rack is pretty small, and I don't have any other TRS midi modules to test this with. Is this kind of unreliability normal with these things? I've had it for 10 months.
