As for the format, 1.40 should be fine: I ran my DN on 1.40B while developing the program, then switched to 1.41 and the format didn’t change. But maybe there are MIDI connectivity improvements, so that could help.
When you see the list of projects and select one for fetching, it should display a progress bar for 5-10 seconds as it fetches the data from device. Do you have the progress bar?
What if you save a .dnprj file using the Transfer app, and then open it in FUNC SaveProj? Does it display the project properly?
Quick update: a Digitakt version is now available for Linux. It’s a complete rewrite, I think the UI turned out to be better, but it doesn’t have MIDI, so you will need to use Transfer with it.
Sure. My goal is to make it available on as many platforms as possible. That’s one of the reasons why I did a complete rewrite for Linux - now the code is more portable. Eventually I will enable this rewritten version to work with DN and on other platforms, first of which would be Windows. Maybe it will even replace the current Mac OS version.
I currently own A4, DN, DT and ST - these boxes will be supported for sure. If I get another box (AR, M:S, M:C), I will be able to support them too. OT is a totally different beast though.
