yes, you have a faulty one. there’s apparently a fix coming but I have an RMA with CTRL for one and i am hunting another solution in the mean time

Hey team! Just was curious what some people’s wait times were in turn around when sending in their modules to the whimsical raps teams for repair. Sent my w/ in a few weeks ago and haven’t heard anything back in terms of arrival, repair status or potential turn around.

I’m guessing that maybe COVID has put a stop to operations there, but curious what y’all’s experience has been.

Edit: got an awesome and timely response from @Galapagoose. Thanks for all the hard work and awesome sound making machines!

Hi all,

I’ve been having a few issues pop up:

  1. I primarily use this as a looping delay, it seems to fall out of it’s mode often needing a reboot (the amount of times I’ve rebooted quickly in frustration then lost my kria sequence is high).

  2. It locked up completely yesterday and began responding after I formatted the SD card. Now, there is a heap of noise in the freshly formatted SD card so when Izzy starts up I can’t hear the instructions. I used the instructions (thanks so much @Justmat !!!).

Now I’m able to use it but it is much more noisey and clicky than it was before, instead of adding character it just ruins mixes.

I am going to try a new SD card, but after loving this module for years (I bought in first batch) I am at wits end.

Does anyone have any tips apart from a new SD card?

i’m hoping it’s possible to make the W/, while long pressing Record, to count to, say, 2 seconds before it switches over to Settings Global?

It’s punishing if you meant to press Rec while it’s looping, and held your finger there for a little too long, it switched to Global, but you didn’t notice, then pressing Rec again toggles the input monitoring - basically no room for error there, as it cascades into other unintended things.

I also think while in Settings Global, the pulsing lights should be way more noticeable.

So I just got my W/ yesterday and it seems to have some issues and/or I am not the brightest bulb in the batch. On a regular boot up, I cannot hear anything when plugging a sound source into in. If i boot into Izzy, I can get through part of the tutorial up until it tells me to plug in a sound source, at which point I hear a jumble of stuff and can only continue by cycling to the next part. I have erased the tape on boot to see if this would fix it (toggle down + record). Any suggestions?

Maybe input monitoring is turned off? Hold Rec for a second to enter global mode. Press Rec to toggle input monitoring. exit global mode with toggle up.

welp officially not the brightest bulb. That did it @Justmat! Thank you much. I will probably be bouncing in here a lot :frowning:

Glad that did the trick :sweat_smile: Enjoy your W/! (and welcome to lines! :partying_face:)

#395

Will do. Thank you again. Any reason that the tutorial (Izzy would act odd like that when plugging audio in) or is that from possibly my first attempt to do it?

#396

Hard to say without actually hearing the oddity. Does it still happen with monitoring turned on?

#397

will check. Also the recorded audio has a lot of clicks and pops.

#398

Yep. Still has the same issue when booting into Izzy. A lot of noise along with my sound source and her voice. This occurs when it asks me to plug in an audio source and record. Makes going to the next step almost impossible. When starting regularly, the recorded audio has a lots of pops and clicks.

Howdy all, just picked up a W/ second hand. Everything was groovy for the first day, rearranged my case and now the W/ is not powering on

Other modules in case are fine. Tried a few different supplies. When I click on power I see a quick LED blip on the right side “loop” LED and then nothin’
Checked orientation of cables etc.

New to W/ so if I am missing something any help would be killer. :v:

I believe there have been a few posts in this thread above about his same issue. Seemed like swapping out the old SD card for a new one did the trick. I also had this issue last week after getting a new case. I took the SD card out and did the ole blow on the cartridge trick. Then popped it back in and it worked good as new.

I also might consider trying out the new beta firmware and keeping an eye out for the final 2.0. I’m running one w/ on the current 1.2 and one w/ on the 2.04b, and the new beta is much more stable and with a lot more features.

try running it in izzy or bootloader mode. should work fine and would probably update to the latest beta firmware as well. had the same problem last month.
