Perhaps the interface between that cable and the MC8 isn’t great and maybe the midibox jack is more forgiving than the MC8 jack(or same for the midi box input jack). So there are a few possibilities I can imagine. I can’t purely point to the cable, since that same cable works fine between the midi box and the microcosm just not between the MC8 and the midi box. So I have a working system now, but I didn’t exactly determine a root cause. And oddly enough the microcosm preset worked as well. After that I swapped the 5-pin cable going from MC8 to midi box with the one from midi box to microcosm. I connected one of my pedals to an omniport on the MC8 and the pedal behaved as expected which verified my preset definition. Is there a configuration in the MC8 that I’m missing that’s causing the MC8 to not send via 5-pin out? Some sort of compatibility issue with the DA midi box? The only difference is MC8 sending midi vs DAW/interface. Everything downstream from my midi source is identical. Short of an actual hardware problem with the MC8, I feel like I’m missing something simple here. 5-pin to midi box is how I’d like to connect the MC8, and from what I understand, that should be doable. I have not tried sending via an omniport yet, because I’d prefer to keep my current setup as-is and expand to new pedals in the future using the omniports. I also tried a similar test with two other pedals in the chain(chase bliss mood and chase bliss blooper, FWIW), and they, too, are unresponsive. I re-tested via my DAW and that’s still working. I verified via the morningstar web editor’s midi monitor that the preset was sending the correct CC # and value. I verified that I had the correct channel, CC # and values in the preset. I’ve tried a bit of troubleshooting so far. When I press the switch the engage the new preset, the microcosm doesn’t respond. I then unplugged the 5-pin cable from my audio interface and plugged that into the Midi out of the MC8. When I received my MC8, I configured a simple test preset to send the bypass CC to the Microcosm. My MIDI setup prior to introducing the MC8 is:ĭAW(reaper) as source of MIDI messages → scarlett 2x4 interface, 5-pin out → 5-pin in, Disaster Area midi box 4 → TRS to a few chase bliss pedals, AND → 5-pin out to Hologram Microcosm. Mid/high end cards like 圆00/x800 don't behave this way.Greetings! I’m having an issue which I’m fairly certain is something simple I’m missing, but at the moment I’m stumped. These cards work great for bot matches, but it's definitely a disadvantage against human players. It's playable, but the framerate is 'visible,' so to speak. Lowering detail will increase framerate to a point, but seems to top out even as settings are adjusted lower and lower. I'm not sure if there's a tweak to get around this, but lower end cards I've tested like Nvidia x200/x300/x400 seem to be unable to achieve a truly fluid framerate, regardless of detail settings. Effects settings were all bottomed out, of course. I was amazed it worked at all, but well below a playable FPS. The CPU is more than adequate, but the GPU just couldn't cut it. Just for giggles, I tried Xonotic on a laptop with a 3.06GHz P4 and an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000.
