Battery?

Iād be surprised if it was the battery since it was working fine right before I attempted the upgrade.

Likely a coincidence youāre seeing it during the OS upgrade.

Just replaced the battery and my MD is working again, guess it was just a coincidence that it went as I was upgrading. It even booted up the new firmware so I guess it was able to transfer even with a dead battery.
Thanks so much for the help everyone, now itās time to dive into the new MCL manual and get rockin.

have you noticed the same thing?

Nope. And nobody has been able to provide me with a repeatable example.
Are you able to filter the MIDI stream and work out which messages are causing the freeze ?

Iāve filtering my Machine Drum MIDI OUT with a MidiBlokas monitor.
With the x0.4 version i can see the ProgramChange output message corresponding to the pattern in play.
With the x0.7 version , it sends a program change message but itās always a 00PC message whatever the pattern.
I will try later to re-update the MD to the x0.7 version. Itās perhaps an imcompatibility with the fact i made the songs with old version.
Thanks for your time.
Youāve made a amazing update with these hack OSā¦

Iāll have to check.
My sincerest apologies Justin - reloaded version seven and rechecked my connections and the MD was actually getting midi from the TR-8S and when I went to the multimap page while running f it was clearly cycling through notes like crazy. Changed midi in and all is well. So the lesson here is that user error must be ruled out more than once

Good to know. Cheers.
best use warning.
if you have (for example) a pattern & saved kit with NFX-UC and NFX-CO on tracks 7+8 processing a synth machine on track 6, and then load a new pattern which loads a different kit that has no machines or trigs on track 7+8 then the NFX wonāt be cleared from previous kit (until you trig tracks 7&8).
This can result in loud undesired noises if you do have a machine active on track 6 that feeds the previous NFX (like an NFX-CO with itās make up gain high). Itās confusing and unsettling at first cos itās new MD territory.
There are ways around this with planning your NFX placements or adding trigs to āresetā those tracks.

Does someone have an audio example of Ring Mod within NFX-EV? Iām familiar with Ring Mod but canāt seem to get this feature to work within NFX-EV - might be due to lack of understanding but every other parameter within NFX-EV works for me. Running latest version on MDUW MK1
amazing work Justin, canāt wait to try it. A friend just told me. Hope youāre doing well - are you in Melb?

Any chance the way (un)muting works (where its delayed/late) could be fixed?
Do you mean youād prefer āaudioā mute rather ātriggerā mute ?
I personally love this behavior and wished it was the same on, for instance, the Octatrack.

Yeah thats exactly it. Im having a hard time
Timing the muting - as if I have to do it one step before I meant to.

What I would find most useful for future updates is pattern mutes. I think this is actually more useful than global mutes. On the Digitone Iām always using pattern mute and hardly ever global mute. When switching patterns on the MD all drums are on right away and itās hard to remember exactly which drums should be muted before you switch. I know there are workarounds but turning down track volume is not ideal since it will be saved with the kit and turned down for all patterns using that kit. Donāt know if this is already there when using the MC but Iād love to have it without the MC too.
Hello.
Just received a Machinedrum SPS-1 MK1.
Trying to update the firmware to X0.7 but when its finished it just stays on the startup screen. When I do the test (hold function on startup then press 1) it says everything is fine but then I still cannot do anything.
Any help? I want to play with it
Edit: this was a new topic but got transfered hereā¦ I also have the same issue with x0.6 so its not likely to be an OS problem but maybe something on my endā¦ Althought I know how this works soā¦
Edit 2: solved by updating to latest elektron OS first
