Starless unofficial Dwarf image - ALABS

Now, this was interesting. I started up the Dwarf and went straight to the plugin store. All plugins I wanted to remove I was able to remove.
On three previous occasions, I got the “could not remove” message. I achieved my goal of housekeeping, but I don’t know what to make of this. At least it does not seem to be related to Starless in any way.

Well…eventually, some weird bug happened.
Just keep a close eye to check if it happens again.

I finally took the time to update to v10 (from b8), It’s flawless !
Thanks again !

I have yet to try this OS as I’ve hardly touched my device. So I’m assuming this OS is way better than the stock OS?

We are way beyond assumptions now :grinning:

The stock firmware is great, but the Starless revamp provided lots of amazing improvements, turning something already solid into a jewel. Highly recommended.

Haha, ok cool. Thanks for the feedback.

New release - aLabs version 11

Another bug-fix release — this should hopefully be the last one. The image should now be stable enough.

If no major issues come up, I’ll soon release version 12a with bidirectional MIDI merged, along with the new VU meter UI.

Please test it and report back here, or open an issue in the GitHub repository.

this is great… thanks again, @AndreaDelSignore !

v11 is solid for me so far.

i’ve noticed one thing - not specific to v11, but a suggestion: the MIDI page of the bindings display shows original plugin names, rather than edited ones. this makes parsing that list confusing. i suggest showing edited plugin names there.

really great indeed, I’m using v11 and it’s running nicely… Thanks!

I just saw a small topic, when you have a tempo parameter with the option Translate value to musical tempo (1/4, 1/8,…) in the device edit it shows a Hz value… which could be fine, but when the value is changed it shows a different number than mod-ui. I’m not sure if this was ok in v10…

Hi Andrea, I’m using successfully your V.11. Thanks again.

Just one crash so far, here is the picture if it can help:

Both the screen and the footswitch LED color contain important details that can help with debugging.

Hi,

PC = 00 → NULL reference

can you reproduce the crash? can you give me some more context info?

Hey! I’m impressed by the work here, very useful stuff which I also felt were missing. I just wanted to ask before testing it, what happens with existing pedalboards on my Dwarf? They should load correctly in this image? And what happens if I revert to an official image? Is there any additional info stored which will get lost in that transition?
Also is there a way to back up my pedalboards to make sure I don’t lose them?
Many thanks for the great work!

It‘s not affecting the boards.
everything stays as it is. at least when I did it on my dwarf

Although you won’t lose anything, it’s good practice from time to time to back up your pedalboards and in general whatever you feel is worth doing. There’s a way to do it. Take a look here

Sorry I wasn’t able to reproduce the crash… which is a good new regarding the stability of your v.11
