Roger Linn Design • Note On Pitch "yip" with quantize off

I see that the LinnStrument sends out a PB value of 0 immediately preceding any Note On, even when X Quantize (all flavors) is off. This is thwarting my efforts to get more natural/imperfect tuning when using the LinnStrument.

Here's my use case:

I set up my synth/patch with PB range of 2 semitones. Then I setup the LinnStrument for 12-24 semis, quantize off. In this way I seek very slight pitch variation, with the ability to control it by playing at different points within the pad. (Note I am unconcerned with slides when using it like this.) This basically works, but because of the initial PB 0, with certain synths and patches the notes can audibly "yip" to the imperfect pitch rather than start right on it, as the first (correctly relative) PB value might follow the note on by 10s of msecs.

Note that this initial 0 also causes problems for absolute position "violin-like" playing/tuning where the patch's PB and LinnStrument PB are co-aligned - note ons near the pad borders yip.

I desire a mode where the PB value preceding the Note On reflect the initial position relative to pad center, not 0. That certainly seems a more correct interpretation of "quantize off".

Is that currently possible? Have I missed a setting?

Thanks,

Rich
