Report is here: https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/v0-6-x-release-candidate-packages-and-mods/5246/307?u=odevices

I haven't reproduced yet but I suspect that a race condition in Head::setSample is the culprit.

Forum bug report:

https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/v0-6-x-release-candidate-packages-and-mods/5246/232?u=odevices

Removed old style category entries in toc.lua:

{category="Synthesizers"},
{title="Amie",moduleName="Amie",keywords="oscillator"}

Switch to new inline style:
{title="Amie",moduleName="Amie",keywords="oscillator",category="Synthesizers"}

All units following new style appear in a single category at the bottom of the list, with the name of the category being the package name (e.g. Accents).

The problem seems to have been introduced in v0.6.01.

This could be confusing in pre-populated filenames and similar.

as a feature request/option:
scrolling on a touchpad feels normal when adjusting a parameter, but feels inverted when navigating a chain or naming a file (ie. scroll up moves the cursor towards end of chain).

This feels normal when using the hardware device but confusing when using a mouse/touchpad (not unlike so-called "natural scrolling" ^^ ).

An option (even at compile time) would be great.

Including core. Just a couple of mixer and test osc units are present. If you mount the front SD after booting, the libs will appear. I think the expected behavior is that you can boot without the front SD mounted and have all installed packages present.

This is hard to fix while maintaining compatibility with older firmware (that might be running the installation script). The is mainly because ZipArchiveReader class in older firmware does not expose the getFileCount() and getFilename() methods.

Reproduced in firmware 0.6.13.

Steps:

1. Insert a mixer, mono or stereo.
2. inside the mixer, insert a sound generating unit. I tested this procedure with Varispeed players using several different samples.
3. After the sound generator, insert a Schroeder Allpass Filter. Incidentally, this will turn any stereo signal at the input into a mono signal at the output (left channel only).
4. Navigate to the top level of the chain and use the replace command to swap the mixer out for its mono or stereo counterpart. I happened upon this bug trying to remedy the stereo to mono issue, but a crash results in either case.
5. The machine freezes while still on the unit selection screen.

Expression ties that use the lua interpreter (i.e. the expression is a compile lua function) are not working as expected.

The current mapping is fine when navigating around the GUI but when wiggling parameters it is too coarse.

I'd like to add two new supported fonts to the base firmware,

1. A small monospace font at 3x5 with size = 5
2. A small legible font 4x5 with size = 6

Using the output from ttf2c.js this is now just a problem of designing them and adding them in.

@odevices would this be an ok addition? I'll add rendered pictures of the fonts in my PR when I create it.

Sample chains will be loaded anew regardless of whether the exact same sample chain is already in memory or not.

issue : i can zoom in with "equals" key, but i can't zoom out with "minus" key.
I'm using a french keyboard layout. I replaced SDLK_MINUS with SDLK_6 to get it to work.

I think the pin set itself is saved/recalled correctly with a .chain preset, but the pins themselves seem to not be. The pin sets are empty when loading the chain back up.

Forum report: https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/v0-6-x-release-candidate-packages-and-mods/5246/233?u=odevices

From the forum :

It just seems to attenuate the entire signal when less than ~10 kHz or amplify when above ~10 kHz. It also seems to behave much worse on a stereo track where whatever you put in just looks awful on the output as if some weird DC offset was present which gets worse and worse the more you lower the cutoff towards 0 Hz.

For example, if the ER-301 is powered down while writing to rear:/settings.lua then boot will fail when it tries to read the corrupted settings file.

Bug reported in v0.6.02 on the forum:

...any unit that uses a buffer (Manual Grains, Single Cycle, Variable Player), after switching the buffer to a different sample 1-3 times will render the unit silent. Sometimes deleting and inserting a replacement unit will fix it, sometimes I need to clear the whole chain...

https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/copying-units-and-local-assignments/6013?u=odevices

The behavior ENTER changes when in multi-selection mode. It would be nice to have a more consistent mapping regardless of the mode.

Forum post is here.

Units will respond to control messages. For example:

• Clear buffer
• Start/Stop
• Disable/Enable Bypass
• Load preset

There will also be a mechanism (possibly specialized units?) to trigger control messages.

https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/pedal-looper-overdub-clicks/5875?u=odevices

• Clicks when overdubbing in stereo
• Artifacts when stopping
• Clicks when looping

Most likely a dependency is not encoded properly in the makefiles that gets exposed when using parallel building.

From forum:

On 0.6.06 pressing Cancel while in Select from Pool causes the ER-301 to freeze. using Up instead works fine. I have confirmed this on Variable Speed Player, Manual Grains, and Grain Stretch. Not sure if this exists on other firmware versions.

Requested here:

https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/v0-7-x-progress-and-feedback/6139/27?u=odevices

@tmfset suggested to do the calculation in the UI thread.

Specifically, we should handle the range calculations (currently done by MinMax and connected permanently) like we do for loudness (i.e. LoudnessProbe and connect/disconnect on notifyVisible/Hidden).

https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/v0-6-x-release-candidate-packages-and-mods/5246/328?u=odevices

The graphic makes it clear that the displayed signal should be before gain and bias.

Crash confirmed but only if in System Settings you have the following configuration:

File Browser:

• Stop sample preview when focus changes? no

The user should also be notified when saving unit or chain presets.

Suspect it is counting category entries in toc.lua as units. I currently have 6 units and 5 categories in my toc.lua. Package manager is displaying 11 units.

The current strategy of using app.cpp.swig, core, and teletype to populate the exported symbol table is no where near enough.

Probability seems to depend heavily on the executing environment. Hints at a race condition.

Reproduced in 0.6.13.

1. Insert a Clocked Stretch unit and set its stretch duration config option to 'all.'
2. Return to the top level, enter the clock sub-chain. Attempting to assign the sub-chain's input freezes the machine.
3. Contrarily, inserting units in the sub-chain to generate gates does not induce a crash. Tested with Tap Tempo and Sine Osc units.
4. Similar results occurred with or without a buffer assigned.
