Mine is being used as a weird sound generator, running audio rate sines into the CV inputs is nice, have given up trying to learn / control / navigate it for a while - whenever I had to look stuff up I found it a bit vexing, but I keep patching into it.

Iā€™m waiting on the firmware. I occasionally use for delays and slowed down recordings, but mine is quite unpredictable so I avoid using it in any stuff I record. I am still absolutely in love with it and canā€™t wait to give it more use.

#1335

not sure about the clock, i donā€™t recall hearing anyone talk about that.

i use it mostly as a delay (when the record functionality is responding correctly) and as a phased looper (when the loop functionality is responding correctly). when itā€™s working, itā€™s a ton of fun! when itā€™s not working, itā€™s maddening. usually when i sit down with my synth iā€™ll plug something in and see whatā€™s working, and if itā€™s not responding i just skip it for that session.

This is how it has been going for me as well. Check it out on power up. If itā€™s working, great Iā€™ll play w/! Otherwise I just move on to other ideas.

I sense great potential in W/, and I trust all will be sorted in time.

One of my favorite things with W/ is simply listening back to material that Iā€™ve previously recorded. Itā€™s consistently surprising and inspiring. The flip side of this is that I sometimes feel afraid of recording over and changing what is already there. I wonder if anyone else has this experience?

To try and break this feeling Iā€™ve been recording in loads of arbitrary sounds - the weird detritus of the internet.

Yep also thought about this. Some kind of duplicating splice functionality would be super usefull

#1339

Any word on when these may be re-stocked with some of these inconsistencies addressed? I assume not, but figured Iā€™d ask :slight_smile:

A piece using simultaneously playing and recording with W/ - Iā€™m controlling the playback speed with coldmac - noise sources are rings - and whatever was already on the tape.

Not yet to my knowledge.
But latest info I found was end of May.
So 4 more daysā€¦
fingers crossed.

#1343

my w/ is not outputting signal at all, but the input light indicator shows that it is receiving my signal, i just canā€™t hear it when i monitor the outputā€¦ i searched the thread but canā€™t find the reset procedure.

#1344

Record + Down when powering on then follow the lights to clear current tape. Try powering on with nothing patched into ā€˜Inā€™. Then patch into In and enable monitoring in Global mode.

#1345

I think that in global mode R toggles input monitoring. Maybe it just got switched off?

(hold R for 1 sec to enter global mode, then press R to toggle monitoring.)

I was just at Control in Brooklyn and they told me that they have the new firmware there. The guy said that theyā€™ve already updated three w/ā€˜s and that he thinks it will solve most of the issues. He said I can bring mine in to get updated. I was really surprised to hear this. Why wouldnā€™t they release the firmware if it already exists?

Still testing it I guess. Good to hear itā€™s out there in the wild, but Iā€™ll wait till itā€™s official. Any moment nowā€¦

#1348

I meant to say try powering on with nothing patched to ā€˜Inā€™. I have edited my post so as not to mislead future seekers. I think this will solve your problem, it did mine when encountering the same issue.

#1349

Just to avoid any misunderstandings here, the firmware we delivered to them was to very specifically address an issue where modules couldnā€™t exit Izzy. It does not, and will not fix other general issues. New firmware is very close. Iā€™m polishing things up this week and do plan to post, at the least, a new beta by Wednesday.

Thanks for the update!

#1352

Excited for the firmware, thanks for the update! Does anyone know how to avoid having clicks when using this as a delay? Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s just timing the loop correctly but I figured Iā€™d ask to see if anyone has any tips for getting a cleaner delay loop.
