Discussion (English preferably) / The River Control Expander

« Last post by SugarFree on February 17, 2020, 10:19:19 PM »

Laurent posted a comment on Gearslutz.com about a possible control expander for The River.
How would it look like? I'd love it to include all the missing knobs and buttons that are hidden in keyboard shortcuts and menus.
Things like: easier bank/preset access, arpeggiator and sequencer buttons, Triko and FX controls, and some of the menu hidden gems.

Are the extra shortcuts documented somewhere?

One thing to watch out for, though, are MIDI feedback loops between The River and your DAW. This is especially true if you have more than one of The River’s three possible MIDI connections going at one time (USB Key, USB Panel and DIN MIDI).

Yes, a MIDI feedback loop can cause a freeze on The River.
Another reason can be a faulty USB hub. Is The River plugged directly to your Mac?

In the next software update I would like if you can put "Local On/Off" in the first place in "System" menu please.
Because thats the function you go to most while changing between playing the synth itself or using it with a DAW.
The other functions are not changed as often.

In the meantime, there's a River Key shortcut for Local On/Off which is SHIFT + F7.

Perfect, didn't know that, thanks!
So there are more shortcuts than those on the magnetic list apparently.

I can also confirm that MIDI (both DIN and USB) is working properly under Mac OS High Sierra.

When I first got my River, however, I was also experiencing consistent crashing while using Ableton Live. Oddly enough, it would never crash using Logic X. I finally traced the problem to Ableton itself which uses a non-standard MIDI NRPN implementation.

One thing to watch out for, though, are MIDI feedback loops between The River and your DAW. This is especially true if you have more than one of The River’s three possible MIDI connections going at one time (USB Key, USB Panel and DIN MIDI).

I decided to do a fresh OS install of my Imac, but the problem is still there.
When I start the computer and then start to play on The River I can play 2-3 tones, then it freeze.
The only way to make the freeze release is to open MIDI Studio in MAC.
Maybe its that Im not used to how MAC works, does MIDI studio always have to opened up and be active before you can use synths connected with MIDI?
In Windows I didn't have to think about something like that.

I've never had The River freeze with a Mac. I'm on Catalina, Nuendo 10.

Thank you for your answer, good to hear that you have no problems with this.
I had a little bit more time now to test different midi connections to see were the problem is, and I don't think it is The River causing it, I think there is some conflict in some of the MIDI drivers on my Mac. And that makes The River freeze when it's connected to MIDI. But my other synths with USB Midi don't show this behaviour.
