Nice!!...now it works as expected...

great job...thanks!

I tested the new firmware and it's great! The pattern switching works exactly as I'd hoped.

Vielen Dank

i noticed some minor issues...not only with the new firmware, older also , but...in the mute page the lcd shows "mute" even when using shift-mute, shouldn´t it be "solo" then? also the shown instrument doesn´t change when turning the intrument-encoder while in mute-page...

2nd - the progression page: forward only works when some backwards steps are defined, shouldn´t it be like skipping a few steps when backwards is zero and forwards is more than one?...dunno...

well, doesn´t bother me much, since i really seldom use these features...

but, for now it really runs great with the new firmware...

greets, nik

Solo toggles the "solo button" of the MBSEQ V3 firmware, it will be handled independent from the mute page and only solos the selected instrument (for easier editing)
Which means in other words: you are still in mute page.

also the shown instrument doesn´t change when turning the intrument-encoder while in mute-page...

fixed

It works like intended: we count "f" steps forward before jumping "b" steps backward.
The skip/repeat/interval progression has been introduced with MBSEQ V4, but it isn't part of MBSEQ V3/MB808


If there are no other issues, I could release v1.2 now, alright?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

ya...a little thought later, it was clear to me...makes totally sense...my fault

me no issue yet found ...so go for it

Hey all,

Can someone lead me to the correct button combo to get to the screen to make patterns finish before switching to a new pattern? For example, if I am in A1 and switch to A2, A1 will play through to the last step before switching... Or if I am in A1 and switch between A and B they will continue to the last step before changing.

I have been unable to figure this one out myself, even though it should be easy... Maybe I'm blind...

Thanks.

I'm surprised by myself: it wasn't documented - I updated the MIDIbox 808 page

(OPT page, GP 3 to enable pattern synchronisation, GP4 to enable section synchronisation)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks TK!!!!

One more question: What is the correct GP button to do a complete backup? I built an eight eeprom bankstick, so I have more memory than what the MB808 mainboard provides.

I guess part of my problem is that I don't quite understand how the device ID works with backups...

Thanks,

I think I found a bug...with pattern length set to 32 if I change progression to fwd: 2 back: 3, only the steps 17-32 on will be played back. strangely enough if I set the progression to fwd: 2 back: 1 only steps 1-16 are played back and then of course if I set it to fwd: 1 back: 0 is plays normally.

Does this happen for other people?

Thanks!

The problem is, that with progression enabled the steps stay in the current section (A, B, C or D).
It will be difficult to overcome this limitation - is it important?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I tested it a bit more and it seems any progression that is above 1:0 has this problem. I understand how this would be tricky to fix, and it is not going to keep me from using the machine, but it seems quite a big limitation to only be able to use the progression feature on 16 steps.

All my patterns default to 32 steps so I expect all 32 steps to be played through when I adjust the progression. I love this feature, but I would probably not be able to use it live because I would have to think about which section I am on when I adjust the progression, and it is more difficult to predict the outcome, so more dangerous for performance. Too many variables to track.

Alright - understood and fixed in v1.3a

MIDIbox Seq Dr V1.3a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   o backward mode and progression now working correctly for tracks with more than 16 steps

Best Regards, Thorsten.

sweet! thanks!
