Elektroid, a GNU/Linux transfer application for Elektron devices

The Lounge General Discussion

Hey! Love this piece of software and how thoughtfully it’s being developed.

I am actually having trouble transferring samples to my Microfreak. When I drag a .wav into an empty slot, it starts the transfer but then says “terminated with errors”. Running from the CLI it says “input/output error”.

Welcome to Elektronauts, @Sageriversmusic.

Could you run the CLI command while passing -vv (verbose mode) and post here the result?

Also, could you check if the sample memory is full? You can use the CLI for this but it’s also at the bottom right corner in the GUI.

How long is the sample you want to transfer?

Thank you so much!

So the clip is about 3.5s long, it’s a .wav recorded on my Zoom H4n Pro.

Sample memory is at 59.27%

For what it’s worth, my Microfreak firmware version is 5.0.0.36

I was a little unsure about whether I’m supposed to give it a specific location to upload into, so I tried both and got different errors:

Let me know if you need anything else!

270

I can confirm that I’m having the issue in your second attempt too. I’ll investigate this later today.

However, this line from your first attempt fails as it does not provide a destination.

271

I have presumably fixed the issue.

Could you try again just to be sure?

272

It works perfectly! Thank you so much!

Elektroid 3.2.2 is just out! :tada:

There are no big changes in this release but this one will hopefully be included in Debian Trixie and its Ubuntu derivatives.

These are the most important additions.

  • Add support for Digitone II
  • Improve elektron JSON schema
  • Add CLI backup command
  • Add optional downloading directory to download command

Besides, some bugs have been fixed.

  • Random error in microfreak when uploading samples (reported by @Sageriversmusic)
  • Crashes when saving recorded samples or after editing existing ones

I hope you enjoy this.
