the official version
Ahh, at last !
Thanks TK, great to see my sync idea made it's way into the new version!
I'll try it out as soon as I can, I'm also planning to make a new video with that sync function.


the true version
TK, your timing could be improved! 
I've just packed my stuff and unplugged my gear to leave for the holidays and had a last web check,
saw your announcement and went "noooo"
so I'll have to wait till the next year to test the new version. ;)
But nevermind, just strange coincidence, raises the excitement  :D
Great work!

Hahah when I read that first line, I thought you meant the MIDI timing... I was about to post about problems with your MIDI setup ;)

Thanks TK!

Songs created after a break are mostly the best - have a nice vacation! :)

During a play session I noticed, that F1 button behaviour is currently inconsistent to the overworked F3/F4.

Questions to users: would it be ok for you if F1 button behaves like the new F3/F4 button function in future: Utility page only visible so long F1 button pressed, and jump back to previous page when F1 button is released?

Or is it important for you, that only one finger (instead of two) is required to select a utility function?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[bosone]

according to me is better how it behaves now. when you press the utility button you got a lot of different function for almost all of the 16 GP buttons, and pressing 2 of them simultaneusly could not be so confortable, because for some function you would need both hands.
this is one of the most useful buttons because gives access to the most used functions, and maybe you just press the button, then think... hmmm should i move the step, or the whole track? wait a minute, i just save the pattern before making variations... what about some realtime recording instead?
so: seeing all the commands at once without keeping the finger on the seq could be better... (IMHO)

[swindus]

There is still a problem with the bank/pattern selection in song/phrase mode. The value for group 4 jumps always back to bank 1 for me when switching the bank/pattern value or selecting another group.

While searching in the source code for the according lines in cs_m_menu.inc I found this:

  ;; toggle pat/bnk sel
CS_M_SONG_GP_Callback_Sel
  ;; 	btg	CS_STAT, CS_STAT_SONG_EDIT_BNK
  ;; disable - somehow makes no sense here (UI not consistent - time to ask the community, which approach they would prefer)
  ;; 	rgoto	CS_M_SONG_GP_Callback_Cont

I don't think that this is related to the problem though.
Any hint on which line I can try to fix it? I'm a long time pascal and c++ programmer but the assembler stuff is killing me. ;) 

[TK.]

No, it isn't - can you confirm that this only happens for G4? Then it's a strange bug

It happens only for G4. No way to select a bank or pattern regardless of using an encoder or the gp buttuns to select a bank or pattern. Sorry, no hint for you.  :P ;)

[stuartm]

Finally back home and running v3.4.

Thanks for implementing the sync function, work fine and just as I thought it would be!
I also like the "one-finger" mode of F1, no need for a change there.

I can also confirm the G4 Bank Selection bug in Song/ Phrase mode.
It jumps back to the previous value, so if i have a Pattern from Bank 2 on the G4, it'll always jump to 2, no matter which new bank I select.
The jump happens when I press any other button/ turn encoder,

[TK.]

Ok, found the bug :)

The bugfix is already available in the repository.

At the end (after adding some more comments), it turned out that the issue was caused by a single line of code:

Wrong:

        ;; don't save if cursor pos >= 7
        movlw   0x06

Correct:

        ;; don't save if cursor pos >= 7
        movlw   0x07

Note that the comment already gave me a hint about the intended boundary ;)

Any other issues before I'm doing a new release?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[swindus]

Great!  :D

Changed the source, compiled and uploaded v3.4 to my sequencer. All things in song/phrase mode are now working as expected. Thanks!

Did the same over here, got the same pleasing result.
Thanks TK!

[TK.]

Thanks for testing!

MIDIbox SEQ V3.4a is available now

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[monokinetic]

Compiled, uploaded and tested.

Works nicely....

(Thanks * 1million)²³

[swindus]

It will be a nice weekend! Thanks a lot!!!  :)

[stuartm]

Tested and approved.  :)

/edit: Although the initial cursor pos change in Song page doesn't fit my workflow.
I don't use Song Pos that much, so I expect it to be on "Song" when I press the Song Button.

Can I change that back in the source code (cs_m_song.inc) ?

Maybe for SeqV4 it could be selected via the .asm file, if possible.

And it doesn't fit my programming style! ;-)

Open cs_menu.inc, search for the keyword "DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY", and remove everything between BEGIN and END marker

Mmmmh, I've got a "clean" Midibox again.  ;)
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm planning on doing another video tomorrow, lets hope German weather stays rainy.
