Oaktone Oakboards are specially engineered to prevent double-triggering. To achieve this, we've incorporated an additional 100ms delay when clicking the PLAY, STOP, PREV, and NEXT buttons.
This extra delay may not be ideal for a keyboard or drum pad MIDI controller, but it helps to avoid misfiring in your playback system. As our Oakboards are designed for starting and stopping playback systems in a live environment (rather than for playing the drums), we believe this solution ensures that every cue triggered from the Oakboard can be delivered with confidence.
If you need quick-firing buttons for any reason, the two auxiliary buttons, also known as TOP MIDDLE and BOTTOM MIDDLE on Mini and Slide Duo, allow for more rapid, repeated presses.
Occasionally, users contact us reporting that their Oakboard is "double-triggering" or "skipping songs" when connected to their playback computers. This frustrating experience is usually quickly resolved by correcting faulty settings in your DAW's Input and Output settings.
If you are experiencing double-triggering when launching cues in Taz CueList (or another set list manager) with your Oakboard, make sure there's no feedback loop being caused by the IAC bus settings. Many playback operators use track-based MIDI events to AUTO-STOP Ableton Live’s transport. The correct IAC MIDI setting inside of Ableton Live should be:
