I have different presets saved to different tracks/gates on the Varigate. Recalling gate 1, 2, 3 etc. works perfectly. However, when I try to use song mode, nothing happens. The Varigate simply plays the first track button I press while in song mode on repeat.

I tried updating the firmware -- this solved a different issue I was having with the clock, but no luck with song mode. Here's an example of what I'm doing:

  • Press and hold song mode button

  • Press gate one, then gate two, while holding song mode

  • Release song mode

  • Press and release song mode so that it lights up

  • Run sequencer

It just plays the first track that I selected. I'm having the exact same problem when I try this while the sequencer is running, and it doesn't make a difference if I try to reprogram the saved song while the light is already on or not.

I'm at a loss here. Is the module broken?
