this shouldn't be difficult - but most pages have a separate shift function already - ie step settings from voice mode.
-
Envelopes got discussed a bit here: http://forum.sonic-potions.com/discussion/comment/6492#Comment_6492 The main reason this hasn't been added, I think, is that adding kit parameters is fairly difficult, compared to adding global parameters. It mea…

Have you tried manually changing patterns in 'perf' mode after loading the new pattern set? The newly loaded pattern data is not applied until after a manual change, and this may include the 'RPT' and 'NXT' properties of each sub-pattern. I don't r…
-
I don't have the trigger expansion or any analog gear that it would be useful with, but I've never had any problems with the MIDI sync. Are you using the LXR as a MIDI master or slave, and what are the input/output filtering options you have set? Tr…
-
I think more envelope/waveform/sample control are valid points of enhancement. I'm trying to not get too into the DSP code, it's not my area of expertise, but I would like to see seamless looping of samples (ie, for 'single-cycle waveforms') at some…

How easy or indeed how hard would it be to add reverb to the LXR? It's super easy. I know, I know, it's not what you're asking , but there are so many really good, really cheap reverb and delay units out there it just seems like a much better us…

It's supposed to reset the bar count when changing patterns manually. The idea is that you can program a sequence of patterns and then step away from that sequence with a manual change to create variations. If the setting is OFF, the sequence of pat…
-
Try different transient modes. IIRC some of them reset the OSC's and some of them don't. Pretty sure I was messing with some kicks the other day and was getting variation like when the oscillator isn't being reset. I forget what the relevant setting…
-
huh. clearly, not restarting the roll is the way things should work. I'll have a look-see at how this easy a fix it might be. can you check for me and see if this is the same whether pattern bar reset is turned on or off?
-
My advice would be to do this with track rotation. I'd like to make track rotation it's own mode (like the euklidean pattern generator), so some key combination could be devised to set rotation on a sub-step rather than the full-step resolution it d…
-
This should be what 'morph save' does - is that what you're using? (the screen should read 'Save: MorphKit', NOT 'Save: Kit') it's a bug if it's not saving based on the current morph position, as this is what is described in the manual. I haven't ch…
-
Yeah i better take the channel 0 thing off for now. Were you switching patterns when it locked up like that? I want to take a good look at the rotation code sometime, that might be helpful. I wont have time to do much programming for the next week …
-
Thanks for the heads up! I haven't messed with any of the rotation code (yet), but I'll look into that when I have some time! Did the freeze come with any other symptoms? The Midi channel '0' is something I added as well, in case people have very c…
-
yeah, I will at some point. My plan is to take a couple of weeks and put it through it's paces to let some of the bugs shake out. Since a lot of people are using things in ways I might not, I think it will save some headaches later on if I give it s…
-
Yeah, that's a possibility, I don't often use my LXR to sequence other things. I'll check it against the stock .34 tonight. I might not have time to fix it right away, but I'll make a note of it! Thanks!
-
osc->phase = oscPhase + osc->phaseInc; if(itg >= info.size) { osc->phase -= info.size; } that should loop the samples Silly me, I stuck that in the wrong function and ended up looping the built-in c…
-
Wish I could help out with this, but there's not much I can say that would be useful. The 'weird symbols' are a very general failure symptom - I've gotten them plenty of times when making bad software edits (overloading the AVR with too many message…
-
Cool, I will take a look! I haven't used one of those before, but maybe it will give me some ideas. I'm going to need to put the programming on a bit of a hiatus for the next couple weeks while I prep for a small gig (call it 'stability testing) bu…
-
Yup, should be direct, to pin 26 of the cortex: http://www.sonic-potions.com/sites/default/files/documents/MainboardSchematic.pdf Just put one probe on that pin 37 and test the cortex leads (gently) with the other. One of them should beep, if it doe…
-
I tried the code above and it loops for a long sample I have (about 7k), but the short single-cycle waveforms I have in there don't. I think they're 1024 samples. I may not be able to play with this much more for the next couple weeks - I have a gi…
-
you can also test continuity between the cortex pin and the mainboard socket, that might give a clue!
-
Yeah, that's what you should be seeing voltage-wise. Very odd. can you post hi-res images of the mainboard, especially around the edges of the cortex and the header pins? It seems unlikely that it's something wrong with the cortex itself, if all els…
-
I find that since the LFO's can be routed to other voices and can also be retriggered from other voices, there's usually a way to do what I need to. Maybe one way to do this is introduce some 'one-shot' cycles to the LFO waveform menu? I think ther…
-
Awesome! I'll have a think about how to implement this in the UI.
-
Yup! it's a known bug and on my to-do list. It only happens when shift is set to toggle and the global settings are saved. I'll nip it one of these days, but it's a fairly low priority because it only happens in power-on and doesn't affect usability…
-
Huh this sounds wild, you know I've never tried it, but I will have to give this a whirl, I love bit swapping effects! I'll make @egnouf a deal - he seems to have far more experience with the DSP code than me. If he can help me figure out how to m…
-
haha just finished this in my firmware. It's a work in progress, so do back up your SD card before embarking on the adventure. Note that I had to change a LOT of code in the load/save menu to get this working properly, so the function of the knobs…
-
Tried again today to replicate this - I get the anomalous missing triggers when I connect the OT directly to the LXR, but not when I route them through my MIDI interface (Micro Express - how I have things usually configured). So something is getting…
-
I had this same issue, too and I want to look into it eventually - when I get a lot of other things done - I have a suspicion that the octatrack is sending a lot of anomalous clocking data that isn't getting ignored by the LXR.
-
I haven't noticed any midi debug mode, but if you are getting midi data from the USB but not from the physical MIDI jack, it is definitely a hardware problem. There shouldn't be any difference in how the LXR responds to MIDI from the jack and MIDI f…
