Whoa-ho-haaaa!

Thanks, team!

#574

Thanks so much for the continued effort, much appreciated :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

#575

So now we`re fully back in the game.
I hope someday individual track lengths and conditional trigs will be added.
Because MegaCommand controller is a pricy thing which is hard to get in my area.

I really want to try out this firmware but Iā€™m terrified of bricking my Machinedrum. Is there a way to revert back to factory settings if this firmware doesnt work out?

You can always restore back. No risk of bricking. Just back up your device before updating.

Thanks micabeza for the super quick reply! This is embarrassing but Iā€™ve actually never backed up my MD before, just my OTā€¦is it a similar process? Thereā€™s no USB port on my MkII non UW.

#579

Thereā€™s no usb port on anybodyā€™s machinedrum. You need to do a sysex dump over midi cables.

Itā€™s done over 5pin din. Do a sysex dump to back it up to your computer.
Youā€™ll need something to record the sysex.
Then update the reverse way.

Itā€™s a lengthy process if you donā€™t have a tm-1. Youā€™ll want to use that if you have.

TF is a sysex dump??

#583

Did you ever put the autechre patches on your MD? Its like that, but in reverse :wink:

Check page 65 for kits and such and page 83-85 for the OS

Youā€™ll need to use c6 (not transfer). If your computer will no longer run c6, either run it in a VM (which i do) or if you are on a mac, use can use the app: sysex librarian.
(Not sure what youā€™d use on windows (or Solaris))

Firstly - thank you for being patient with me!

Secondly - I had no idea that Autechre had source data available for the MD :open_mouth::eyes::eyes: Definitely will look into thatā€¦

I have an older 2012 Macbook with Sierra that I wonder can use C6? If not I might have to go the Vm routeā€¦.wish me luck!

Sysex Librarian is great for Mac users. Many thanks for continuing to update this product. I wonder whatā€™s in store for the Monomachine and Megacommand!

#586

Sierra will work. Itā€™s Catalina and on itā€™s broken (32bit app).
Might as well just import that older MacBook into a vm and then never have to deal w/ the hardware part. :slight_smile:

(Iā€™m addicted to vms, so you probably shouldnā€™t take my advice, lol)

Individual track lengths and conditional trigs are part of what MC offers for the MD. Or are you talking about the Monomachine?

#589

I believe they are asking for the additional functionality to be made available without Megacommand tethering.

#590

I donā€™t think thatā€™s possible

I do want your advice! Iā€™m having a crap time getting any of my old MBs to run as VM under M1. What virtualization software do you recommend?

#592

Itā€™s not going to happen. The Megacommand is a steal when you appreciate the number of years of unpaid dev work behind MDX and MCL And itā€™s open sourceā€¦
