CV to control playback in Nav is super fun. Recorded some drums, set a loop up, and then LFO fun into That.

tbh Iā€™m not using w/, besides simple delays, until the issues are sorted. Power cycling every 30 minutes or so is a pain when working on a larger patch.

I understand we are all early adopters, but looking back I think I would have rather waited a bit longer for a stable release. I know it was tested by just a small group of users, but youā€™d think some of the issues would have been known before release(sorry for speculating).

Maybe it does have to do with cue points; I have more trouble with mine now than I did earlier on when I had fewer of them on my tape. I canā€™t seem to get it to change tapes without locking up completely though.

Fooling around w/ W/, mangrove and 3 sisters.

Try changing tapes immediately after cycling power. Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve had to do.

The unresponsive thing that i get, which i think people are calling bugs, to me sounds like its down to many mico edits and cue points being inserted in the same place. Cue points getting overlapping with other Cue points. You end up micro looping silence. Its a pain to get out of with what seems like many loop + up combinations or loop + down. its much quicker to reboot.

+1 for some sort of ā€œget me out of hereā€ global setting without the need to reboot.

Its not IMHO. Iā€™ve got 3 of the things and have had one lock immediately after completing the Izzy routine, without adding any cues. Iā€™ve ejected them out of my case until some decent firmware turns up. Love your instagram work btw.

When it happens to me, in Nav mode I can move through the tape (lights showing direction properly over play) but there is no audio anywhere.

It also happens to me when I am in a ā€˜knownā€™ area of the tape; a section that I play often, that has no more than 6 cue/loop points. i know there are only around 6 cue/loop points because I am jumping around them a lot and on reboot I can again jump through them normally.

I honestly donā€™t know whats going though, and it could definitely be user error.

#1019

Do you have cables in THIS and THAT when you are moving around in NAV? I tend to pull them out before doing anything with the buttons.

#1020

i see - mines never locked up. Fair enough. Iā€™d love to see more demo videoā€™s showing exactly the different modes and how to move around and to get of dodge when you are in a corner. The 2 posted previously were great to get you started. The written stuff will only get you so far.

#1021

Nothing in this/that. I should move to a new area of the tape and start fresh there. See if I can get a better idea of whats happening.

Just reposting this for visibility. Iā€™ve posted this on the wslash github repo as a bug report 11 days ago as requested and had no acknowledgement of its existence. Iā€™m not going mad am I? Theres nothing obviously wrong with how Iā€™m operating it here is there? Recording a loop, and thenā€¦ nothingā€¦ just aā€¦clunk.

Tried on EP420, EP360, Doepfer LCB, Doepfer A-100 cases. All varying in buggy operation. Itā€™s not a power issue.

Iā€™m happy to wait as I believe everything will be fine in the end and love Mannequins, but this module is far from release quality IMHO. Iā€™ve got 3 w/ and thus experience the bugs at a magnified level. Sure all will be fine in the end. Just not now.

so were all hopeful all this ish will be resolved soon right?? maybe even a more thorough explanation of how everything works?

=-)

good night everyone

#1025

I donā€™t think that is what happened. This one happens to me quite often. I record a passage, and then what I am left with on tape is just a burst of audio just before the loop resets. A power cycle generally fixes it, but I run into it fairly often.

#1026

Iā€™m overdubbing here though, right? Not overwriting so it should work. And the recording light clearly switches off when the end cue marker is added, so not recording the cable being pulled out.

#1028

i think you are in global mode when you started

watch this video and look at the lights in global mode and the lights when he starts recording.

also try recording your loop the same way as the video - use overwrite, not overdub

Still getting a bit lost in Cue modeā€¦I am unclear on the details of moving vs saving vs deleting in Cue.

Also have had things appear to freeze when trying to load a new tape, but not certain that Iā€™m actually hitting the right button combo for that action eitherā€¦

#1030

Those white renƩ are so beautiful
I regret not buying one when I had the chance

#1031

it looks you doing everthing right.
-Did you try to chance ā€œmonitor INā€ on/off ?
-Is the signal going thru ? (mechanical defect, solder joint)

  • Change cable ?
  • Is the flash card correct in ?
  • Did you manage to record at all ?

Had a nice long session with W/ last night. The only thing keeping it from perfection is that I encounter the stuck loop bug(short loop of sound that canā€™t be bypassed by NAV mode, loop off, or cue movements) a lot, and Iā€™ve noticed it happens under two main circumstances:

  1. Initial powerup/first use, usually stuck in a short segment of the last loop I was playing.

  2. When entering/exiting loop mode or cue mode.

I did get it to stabilize and have an amazing session, here it is with a little morphagene layered running through 3 sisters, with plaits playing melodies, all through erbeverb
