Stability of RYTM for long sessions?

[Techmonkey]

So I’ve been working on RTYM exclusively to learn it. Not using any other devices until I’ve had about 40 dedicated hours working on this machine. I’m at a point where I’m practicing from 1 to 2 hours at a time each day. So far only using the synthesis and have not loaded any samples. Firmware is 1.02F (shipped with it). Not using any stands that might block the venting.

I’m finding that after about an hour and a half of heavy use things start getting wonky. The device will either lock up or some features will stop working. For example I won’t be able to create or modify any scene pads. The display will knowledge that I am turning the knobs but knobs, but they won’t change values.

By “heavy use” I mean 6-10 pads firing, juggling of mutes, quite a few P-locks on triggers, a few scenes set up, two patterns. I’m wondering if I’m just working too hard and heat buildup is causing issues. Advice is welcome. Thanks!

It’s hard to say from your description.
But if would try to save the project and then reload it to see if the ‘wonkiness’ is going away…
Are you using the RAM a lot? Are you loading/saving sounds? Are you using the save features at all?

The only theory I have is if you’re not using save/load/reload there is some kind of memory leak after a while.

That’s why I’m suggesting to save often and reload and see if it behaves better this way.

Sounds like you are running out of locks. You only get a finite number.

As I always say, and it seem endlessly

Have you backed up everything and done a hard reset?

It should be your first point of call…

Sometimes the code gets corrupted and you need to reset it.

Thats why its an option, they (meaning everyone) just dont talk about it.

Even my little portable bluetooth music player has a reset.

IdI think you gotta work that mutha harder!

What you describe on the scene pads is exactly what happens when you hit the parameter lock limit (I beleive it’s 48 locks in a kit for scenes, and 48 in a kit for perfs.)

I doubt you need to do a hard reset.

Counting your active locks should be the first thing you do.

Max Number of Scene Locks = 48?

Can someone verify this for me: I can only lock 48 parameters across ALL scenes. Then it won't accept any new locks. For example, if I have 12 locks each in scenes 1-4, I can't add anymore in any scene. If I try, it just won't work - the parameter display doesn't invert to black. It just behaves like a normal knob turn.

well it should be a first point of call before you ask questions on boards, imo and ime
considering
its not exactly hard to do
