ok I see ... I've tried on channel 16, also, I'm working only with midi ,no USB, I hate computers ! I'll try the prog change on channel 1 next time... thank you very much for your help rudeog.
Is it possible to make the lxr 32 / 64/ 128 steps per voice? I mean choose the pattern length for each voice too? Thats the only disappointment i had on the lxr . I know i can chain pattern but choose the length will save some of the 7 pattern set . Thanks
for each of the 16 steps you have 8 sub steps. So you could eg halve your tempo and double your pattern length by using two sub steps. not as convenient but still possible.
Hey, Rudeog - is it just me, or is the menu structure in your latest firmware upside down? ...like, the parameter name appears on the bottom of the screen and the value is on top? Unless my memory is more fucked than I would have thought... It wasn't like this in the previous firmware, was it?
Thanks for all your work on the firmware, btw... The midi filtering and routing stuff is great.
...and from reading your release notes on github, am I correct in thinking that midi filtering only affects stuff that is generated by the LXR, and that everything routed through will come through regardless of the filtering settings?
...Weird. I guess the upside-down thing just happened on the first boot after installing the new unofficial firmware. I just rebooted and it's back to normal.
Yes, the midi filtering only affects stuff that is generated by the lxr (txf) or received by the lxr (rxf). All of the passthru midi messages are unaffected by the filter.
As for the upside down thing, never leave the unit un-rebooted after updating the firmware. I've seen the same behaviour as you. I've also seen chinese characters, and other weird stuff. Other times I correctly see a message saying "please reboot". So not sure whats going on there. Might be the boot loader. I have not looked at the bootloader code.
Would it be possible to add configurable midi CC sends to each note in the LXR? There's an upcoming piece of MIDI looping hardware (MIDIrex - http://midisizer.com/midirex/) that looks pretty interesting - it'll record and store MIDI loops that you can trigger with CCs. If the LXR could be configured to send CCs on certain notes, then it could trigger loops on the MIDIrex. I'm thinking ideally, if each LXR step could send 3-4 CCs with configurable CC#, Channel and value, then you could set it up to trigger a couple of different loops on hardware MIDIrexes when you get to different spots in the LXR sequence...

this is an issue with the OLED displays. No matter which manufacturer I tried so far. As opposed to LCD displays, the OLED displays don't seem to have a 'reset' command. If the display is already initialized and the AVR reboots and re-initializes the display in most of the cases you get weird characters, sometimes the upside down screen, and very seldom it works normal.
The only solution I could think of would be to add a digital power switch to the OLED that is controlled by the AVR, but that would mean a hardware change.

No need for a solution really - rebooting seems to solve the problem just fine...
@Julian, let me know when you are done, and I'll get my master in sync with yours. My next task is to expand the global menu so that it can be more than two pages (we've run out of space). I'm thinking of special casing this menu to use the additional sub-pages under menu_midi_page (so we don't need to increase any array sizes). This would give us an additional 56 possible slots if we need them. You didn't have any other ideas for that page did you?
@borfo this is an interesting idea. Each step currently can store two automation targets and two values, so it would make sense to use those existing values.
dayflight.. i had a similar problem with mine. it wsa the samples. i had to identify at which point it stopped and either reexport or remove those samples
at the moment rudeog is also working on the firmware. julian will probably merge his chanegs into the official firmware. at this time the firmware (while working great with a lot of features) is still in an early state. so i think updates can be expected quite often. the latest official version is a mounth old (not March 2013) see here: https://github.com/SonicPotions/LXR/tree/master/firmware%20image
i was a bit lazy with official updates over the last month. mostly due to a change in my tax status. I'm no longer a small entrepreneur and have to charge VAT now since 2014. This came with the need to update a lot in the online store and my accounting software, as well as a lot of new regulations I had to dig through (monthly tax reports - yay (~~) ) and I also had to finally bring the trigger IO on it's way.
most of this is through now, so you can expect more frequently updates soon

You should be able to right-click that and do save as...
. Thanks

If I change the waveform from sine to S1, S2,....and than back to sine ore tri or rec when the step sequencer is running, the LXR is "dead".

i suggest u use rudeogs version if you want to update right now, because of the great midi functions. check the forum for more information.
