Only a few changes, but certainly some important ones. This update was originally just going to fix some i2c bugs, but a few other issues arose along the way.
There’s a new compressor on the MIX jack in the sound modes. This makes the RUN modes far more usable, as well as Just Type being a little more forgiving with level controls.
The INTONE control has been re-repaired and now operates as per the original module’s design (thanks @xenus_dad). The harmonic sweetspots are again accessible, and sound great through the new MIX compressor.
Finally a substantial bug was fixed in the ii driver which I believe was the cause of hung & dropped notes, as well as getter instability. That said, I was unable to reproduce these issues previously, so I can’t say for sure this is the solution-- I am optimistic though!
The previous release (4.0.0) & discussion is here.
It would be great if some JF4.1 + Teletype users could help stress-test the new Just Type OPs! The window is also open for suggestions on the overall flow of these OPs, especially with regards to dual-JF setups.
Can you please DM me your setup so I can try to reproduce. All devices connected to the ii bus, TT or crow (and which version), and the script that reproduces it. I tried for over 3 hours yesterday to stick a note and it just wouldn’t happen, TT or crow regardless.
Just for my own clarity (I’m running the stress test with a similar though not identical ii setup): when the notes stick, are they stuck as in, ringing out continuously without decay? Do the other notes continue to play via the script as normal, or does the whole thing freeze up? Does Teletype itself also freeze, or just JF? What are your intone and time settings?
Also, have you tried isolating your ii bus such that only TT & JF are there, and then added back devices one at a time to see either if a specific device triggers freezes or if possibly there’s a general bus overload problem?
I’m not sure how to use this sentence constructively…
Stuck notes are just staying at some low level, like a sustain level, other notes work fine, I think the stuck voices can even be retriggered. No freeze at all, JF is still responding as normal TT running happily, just the sustaining notes. Flicking the mode to cycle and back to transient stops the sustaining note(s).
This evening intone CCW, time round 11 o’clock.
No, I have not, and unfortunately won’t be able to move modules for the next couple of months, as everything is patched up tightly for an upcoming gig.
I was under the impression that people with very light i2c busses were experiencing the stuck notes, I might have been wrong.
I don’t know much about anything, but it seems odd to me that everything else on the bus runs super tight even with extreme traffic, specifically JF is having trouble (same amount of trouble with super little or super high traffic), and it should be due to too many devices on the bus. Even more odd when the problem feels like it’s been improved by v4.1.
i just mean that, with more devices on the bus you’ll likely need more pull up resistance. insufficient pull-up can cause bus instability leading to lots of problems, including stuck notes.
