Nice one Rusty. Worth investigating. Might take a little while

No stress at my end… but if what I think is happening, is happening… then I know exactly what, why, how and how to fix it…

Boo… Hiss… You’re blacklisted.

Seeing as Clancy is blacklisted, anyone else what to do the steps and send to me?

I can have a go if you like, shouldn’t take long. When you say ‘archive’ the projects, do you mean compress them to .zip files?

24

Okay I went ahead and did it anyway…

Every time the CF card is ejected, the bug is corrected so I had to recreate it a couple of times. I hope it reveals something…

01 : First
02 : Enabled
03 : Corrected

?

Yeah its a bit confusing, can you tell I did it in a hurry?
First - Samples loaded, couple of trigs placed, then saved.
Enabled - Triggered the bug, then saved.
Corrected - Corrected the bug, then saved.

Not at all, makes perfect sense. Just me double checking before I run off and look in the wrong place… wouldn’t want a false positive.

What I actually meant is using the USB disk mode corrects the bug, basically because it unloads the project then reloads when the CF card is unmounted from the computer.

Good of you both. Appreciated

Yep… all makes sense when you think about it…

Log it with support, so they can push out OSv1.25I

i’ve got a reply today from elektron saying:

This bug has been reported and we are working on a fix, at the moment I can’t say when it will be out, but in the meantime you can do “reload project” to get around this.

Sounds like its clearing out the ram.

Followed your steps: new project, assigned slots, input trigs - playing ok
changed memory setting to dynamic ON - it stopped, i hit play, it says “WAIT”, then plays ok
slots still assigned, trigs still working ok

OS 1.25E

Interesting. I’m pretty sure I never see “wait” after play. Could be a 1.25 H thing…
