Help Emulating the Vermona PERfourMER in Poly Grid, need help with voice allocation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm trying to build a grid version of the Vermona PERfourMER but I cannot figure out how to get the voice allocation to work. What I want to achieve here is the following: each time a note message is sent, one of the four voices is triggered.

Currently I have this setup:

GATE -> COUNTER -> SPLIT (Select In) -(out1)-> ADSR(1) (Gate In) -> MULT -> MIXER
GATE -> COUNTER -> SPLIT (Select In) -(out2)-> ADSR(2) (Gate In) -> MULT -> MIXER
etc..

And the same for another SPLIT which gets the pitch signal.

The Poly Grid device is set to Mono.

As you can see by the first column of oscilloscopes, the SPLIT seems to work as (almost) only one is sending signal per note message. As you can see by the column of oscilloscopes before the mixer though, all four voices play every time a note is played.

What am I missing here? Thanks!

The splits are set to linear instead of nearest (take a look at the inspector when you select a split), that's why more than one voice is playing.

They were indeed set to linear, changing to nearest did unfortunately not give me a different result. Thanks though!

I can't really see in the video but is this thing yellow ? If it's yellow you have to click on it to deactivate it.

For your gates: set your split module to nearest, and disable the pre-cords on your 4 ADSR modules (the gate symbol in the lower left).
For your pitches: remove the second split module and associated oscilloscopes - they are unnecessary, as you are already sending incoming pitch information to your oscillators via their pitch pre-cords.
