Looper picking up speed changes with new loop #7

Open WiretapStudios opened 3 weeks ago

WiretapStudios commented 3 weeks ago

Awesome unit, I've logged many hours with it so far. However, I have ran into a few bugs that I really can't explain too well.

One that I have had happen a few times is I'll clear the looper, with no modulation set anywhere yet, fresh from startup, no SOS turned up, etc. I'll clear the loop and then record a new one. The new loop will have a modulation type effect as if I was turning the varispeed or modulating it, but nothing is assigned yet, and I'm not touching any other buttons. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but maybe someone else has ran into this?

A second looper related one is I see the sync light flash, but if that's tied to the looper, shouldn't it start at the time you hold it down, and then flash again after 5 seconds to indicate the sync time of the loop from the start point? If not, that would be handy to have an indicator on when the full 5 seconds was up.

A third thing I have ran into a few times is the looper recording a "post" oscillator sound even though the looper is set to "pre" and the sine and ss/wt sliders are fully down. It could be from the fx, but I'm not sure how that would work if it's set to "pre" per the manuals description. It's like something has bled into the looper.

I may be completely misinterpreting these as bugs instead of features, so no worries if that's the case. I did read the manual through a few times.

I cannot reproduce. The effect you're describing usually depends on the things you already checked (varispeed modulation, SOS when speed is <> 1, or when recording POST with speed <> 1).
Maybe the module's configuration is incorrect, please try this:

Could you record a video of this issue?

When there's no external sync, the led flashes each time the buffer restarts, it's frequency is fixed and unrelated to the looper's parameters.

Cannot reproduce this either. PRE and POST are two different sources entirely, there cannot be bleeding from one to the other. Could you provide a video for this too?

@hirnlego would you rather links here or have them emailed to you?

@WiretapStudios if you can post/link them here, thanks!
