Yeah, you need another case or power source, unfortunately.

There are ‘soft start’ pcbs you can attach to your power header but the wmd one didn’t work for me.

There was someone working on something to attach to audio damage brand modules, so that might be worth a try.

That’s alright, I switched back to an old power source since the last time I updated. I’m planning expanding with a new case and power source soon so I’ll just hold off until then!

I’ve recently discovered a potential connection between this issue and the fuses. If either of you have a multi-meter and would be down to spend 5 mins testing we could investigate. Send me a DM!

Unfortunately I don’t have the case anymore, thanks though!

No stress, but it’s not about the case - just a resistance to be measured on the JF.

Curiously, I get the “no boot” issue if I let my power conditioner turn on my case, but not if I use the case switch. Intellijel 7U case. I do have a multimeter.

Just made the update yesterday, for one JF perfect at first but for my second one no way.
I tried the vca method/ mult method and nothing.
I was worried and finally I put my power in another plug :electric_plug: in my house and it worked :blush:

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously, but is there a quick way to check which version of the firmware is currently installed on a JF? Could I use a TT or Crow to confirm this?

Maybe I’, missing something, but is it not possible to control “the knobs” from teletype over i2c? Like time, ramp and friends?

AFAIK you are correct. No such control is possible.

Ok, thanks. @Galapagoose is that something we could hope for in the future?

Here’s the full list of JF 4.0 I2C commands which includes an offset for TIME but not RAMP. The RAMP et al knob positions (with CV value offset!) can be gotten but not set.

edit: on a re-read, my ex-catholic senses picked up on this nicene phrasing, “be gotten but not set”…

Thanks, that’s useful, I’ll have a look!

I’m not planning to add this to the module because I believe it breaks the what you see is what you get nature of the interface. If there’s a really interesting use case that this would enable I’d consider it, but in the near term, I’d suggest to just use a patch cable.

TIME has ii-control because it is an arbitrarily chosen range (ie the knob could meaningfully turn ‘beyond’ the limit of the physical knob). Having ii-control enables precise pitch setting / tuning (a common complaint due to no FINE control).

I’m sometimes experiencing hanging notes with just type (JF.MODE 1) and JF.NOTE. The mode rocker on the module is on “transient”, the hanging notes fade out if I quickly switch to “cycle” and back.

In this particular script I’m sending just friends two notes, with a short (1ms-100ms) delay in between, it didn’t happen in my previous script where I always had longer between notes.

Am I doing something wrong?

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!

AFAIK this is a Thing That Happens

I’m also having this issue when sending two notes to to the same voice with a short delay between the two

Aka a bug that would be nice to have fixed?

I didn’t know this happened in Transient mode… I thought people only experienced it in sustain, but knowing this gives me something to track down. Can’t promise a release asap, but it’s logged!

Can you make reliably hang with a certain delay time? Or is it always a ‘sometimes’ thing? If you can reliably reproduce, please post the script.

Also - are you all on Teletype, or is this on crow too?

To confirm, @ilikeorangethecolour is using JF.VOX and @a773 is using JF.NOTE both with the same issue occurring? In the JF.VOX case, after a voice has ‘hung’ do further messages release the envelope, or does it stay stuck open, but changes the note? Or is it just ignored altogether until released?

Hey @Galapagoose

I’m just looking back at my Teletype script from yesterday. I was just able to reproduce it again, however this time without delay, I can keep experimenting to see if I can reproduce the behaviour again with delay.

Script 1

JF.VOX 1 V 0 V 5

Scipt 2

JF.VOX 1 V 1 V 5

If I trigger both scripts at the same time, script 2 takes precident over script 1, and the note will hang indefinitely until another trigger is received on either script. I’m not sure if this is what is supposed to happen or if it isn’t expected behaviour.

Let me know if this helps. Thank you
