Trying to get Kirnu to work in Platinum

I think I have Kirnu 1.2.2 set up properly since I can play into it with the virtual keyboard and have its output go to the AAS player and notes are arpeggiated and sound comes out.  However, I can never get Kirnu to do anything other than what must be a default pattern (some sort of down-up-up-down that I can't quite figure out).  At first, no amount of clicking and twiddling on anything in the GUI had any effect (the knobs did move) but after loading the 00_Init.fxp preset now at least the adjustment that was done is displayed in the little window above "Global Settings".  Loading different presets then is reflected in the lower pattern 'bar graph' window, but the actual pattern produced is never other than the default.
 
Both Kirnu and the AAS player are loaded in the synth rack.  I have a "Kirnu" midi track whose input is the virtual controller and output is to the AAS Player 1.  The AAS player's midi track's input is "Kirnu 1 - Omni" and output is "AAS Player 1".  The AAS's audio track's input is AAS Player 1 Primary Output:Stereo and its output goes to Master.
 
As far as my setup goes, I don't understand why Kirnu and the AAS Player driven by it can each have their own midi clip.  If I enter a chord of notes into a midi clip in Kirnu's track, the chord gets arpeggiated in the synth.  But I can also put a chord into a clip in the synth's midi track and it will also play and get arpeggiated.  How is that possible ?   On top of this, the pattern produced is not the same in each case.  Also, even a single note in Kirnu's midi clip generates an down up up down two-note pattern whereas if I move the same clip containing the one note into the AAS Player's midi track I then get an more-than-two-note down up up down sequence of some sort.
 
EDIT : I'm dumb...  The sample I was using in AAS Player was arpeggiated on its own.  And now I can't  get Kirnu to do anything useful.  Anyway, the following question still stands.
 
All the above to ask if anyone is using Kirnu 1.2.2 in Platinum and it works, in which case I'll persevere.  Otherwise I'll take a look at BlueARP.
 

It's been awhile since I've used Kirnu........not sure what's causing that issue. Possibly uninstall & re-install?
 
You probably already have the manual, but just incase you don't: http://www.artovaarala.com/manual.html

Could it be the MIDI prepare buffer setting in Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recording? I updated to v1.2.3 before testing and posting.

You are correct, I misunderstood and was not testing the free precursor to Cream. The version numbers threw me. Before this thread I had Cream v1.1.0 installed and assumed you were working with a newer version of it.
 
 

Hey, Paul... I have Cream but recently picked up Nora which is similar, to me easier to work with, GUI wise, and is a lot of fun.,,

free demo so give it a try!
 
 

Nora lets you create the pattern.
 
Check out a digital copy of Computer Music issue 225.  You can get a Computer Music version of Nora for $5 (the cost of the digital mag).

Looks interesting....
Are there any limitations in the CM version?

The abilites are a bit stripped down.  All software has certain limitations.  
 
This sheds some light on what it can do:

and the quote at the bottom points to some things the full blown version adds.
 
If Nora CM's melodic manipulations have you itching for more, take a look at the full version, Nora 2. It features up to five octaves and up to eight notes per octave, a powerful Pattern Editor allowing 64 patterns per track, a Randomizer for generating ad-hoc patterns, over 1200 presets, and more. Head over to Squaredheads' website for the full lowdown.

Thank you very much.
Just bought the issue. Will check tomorrow.
