Hello everyone, a new update is here - v0.15.0 aka “the best MOD release yet”.
This release took a little more time as we had the MTF event in between.
In the other hand, some of the hacks we implemented for it have been merged.
You’ll now be able to use PS3 and PS4 joysticks as MIDI devices (connected over USB).
We’ve got 1 specific Guitar Hero joystick working as MIDI device too (red octane xbox controller).
We made several system tweaks and a few kernel changes, which finally fixes the sporadic xrun issue.
You can still get xruns if you load too many big plugins at once, but if you keep the cpu load ~80% there should be no xruns.
We also modified the update procedure to be less error-prone, although making it slower.
Any updates you install after this one should never fail.
Last but not least, we added support for user presets.
You can now save, rename and delete your own presets.
And addressing the preset list to mod controller actuators is now possible (knob or footswitch).
The answer was yes, I went back to the v.14 and it works now. But the problem is that since I’ve installed almost 30 new pug-ins from the store there are lot of bugs loading banks and adding the new effects.
“Bug! Couldn’t load banks”
“Error adding effects. Probably a connection problem”
@Emilio_Larocca_Conte:
Hi there, please try installing the 0.15 release twice.
That will make sure it is installed correctly.
(first time can fail from 0.14 to 0.15, unfortunately)
Trying right now…but it’s blocked on “copy file, eject and unplug” since 15 minutes ago.
The procedure was right.
I think something went bad, hoping it’s not too bad…
Basically, I use to split the sound in two to create interesting textures. I cannot list all the almost 15 banks I did, but the tools used are pretty the same (common effects for guitar). guitar simulator, the yellow eq, monophonic comp, some modulations, delay and reverb (Shiro and the plate).
If it doesn’t help, I’ll provide a more detailed list.
By the way, today it seems something’s changed: the Assembler works quite well, just some crashes sometimes.
Regarding presets: is it possible to define presets for the entire pedalboard and switch between them using the built-in footswitches, like within banks?
This can be a good solution for being able to switch between sounds in a stage scenario without having the long gaps that switching between pedalboards incurs.
@ytai this was already in our roadmap, but we end up releasing the plugin presets first. We already had exactly what you asked in our plans… thanks for the feedback!
I’ve seen the exact same issue when zooming the page while loading (linux/firefox : here accidental ctrl + scroll-wheel) but have not been able to reproduce it: Reloading the page fixed it.
Since the knob image uses some fancy css/js to set the image offset, it’s entirely believable that it would break on IE or some older browsers. but that should not be specific to 0.15
Stupid question, but is there a way to know if the update actually went through? The system info screen on the device shows a hex value (fbbffb5f) and the web interface has no “about” or “info” button available.
I tried the 0.15 update three times already. I attempted starting from a fully booted state first and ran into the “copy file, eject and unplug” issue pointed by @Emilio_Larocca_Conte. Then I followed @falkTX advice and booted straight to recovery mode. In this case it looks like the update worked - I can even connect to the assembler - but the knobs and buttons don’t do anything.
It’s the first time I update the firmware since I got it, and I noticed there’s a minimum 0.10.4 version for it to work (BTW this information is nowhere to be seen on the releases page; if it’s important, it should be there).
As a last attempt, I’ll try installing 0.10.4 first and then 0.15. Let’s see how it goes.
Update: It looks like it worked. Please update the release page with the 0.10.4 requirement!
