Mono MK2 Firmware Thread

#14

Mmmm not too sure, I think Mathieu will still be looking into these issues I’m sure it will get sorted in the end, as I said mine has been behaving well since I cleared the projects and started again. Best of luck anyway mate :+1:

Yes, I’m not worried, I had the MK1 and I know what it is. :smile:

Bug in curve mode when recording automation when the MKII is controlled via midi

#17

yep i got a freeze in curve mode when touching a blank sequencer button

#18

I’m now getting sporadic freezes when creating mod notes 🫤

#19

so buggy

but i still love it

#20

Just want to thank 1) The Community and 2) Mathieu! Constant stream of bugs/issues reported and the rapid response/fixing! I just recently asked about the MIDI trigger capability via Mod Notes, > Mathieu replied right away, and said it should be out soon. Now it’s there! I’m sure many of us have big-brand devices, with infrequent updates and frustrations/limitations we don’t expect to see solved fast. I’ll take some bugs, knowing Mathieu will take care of it quickly.

For those who haven’t seen the latest couple of updates over the last 2 weeks:

V1.0.6r

  • Optimization on curve mode, and fixed crash when using curve mode on an empty
    SynthParam
  • Fixed the rare crash when recording from step 64 to step 1
  • Added the ability to control ModNotes via midi
  • Made the randoms notes more “musical”
  • Added the ability to change the Default Patch
  • Fixed the Patchless mode
    V1.0.5r
  • Trying to add modulation to Volume (which doesn’t have modulation control) could result
    in a crash, this was fixed
  • Fixed an issue where Negative XMod was sometimes not working properly.
    V1.0.4r
  • Fixed crash while morphing to/from a pattern going backward
  • Fixed infinite loop when doing [TEMPO] + [FUNC] → [PAGE] in Modnote while not
    having any Modnote saved
    V1.0.3r
  • Heavily automated projects saved prior to 1.0.2 could likely contain corrupted data from
    a previous fatal bug, so we’ve added security measures to detect and discard it.
  • Clearing a pattern with DELETE + STEP would not clear the automation, this has been
    fixed
  • Fixed an issue with USB slave clock
  • Pattern Morph now works correctly on page B C and D.

V1.1.0r :

New feature:

  • Slide rate parameter : Hold slide and turn X-Mod pot to set the pattern’s slide rate, center value is half a step, saved in pattern.
  • Added pattern color parameter: (hold active pattern [SEQ] + XModAmount), the pattern needs to be active. Saved in the project.
  • Added color feedback when touching [SEQ] or [PAGE] strips
  • Added Mod Note colors (purple)
  • Added a setting to prevent automation from affecting modNotes (Setting->Clock->Page1(off)/Page2(on))
  • Added a setting to disable incoming midi recording (Setting->Midi->C(off)/C#(on)), when enabled, only direct inputs (on Mono) will be recorded
  • Added a sensitivity setting for the touch sensors (Setting->PotMode->Page1(high) to Page4(low))
  • Added ability to leave Curve Mode when pressing [UP]
  • Added a UI feedback on modulated params, params with some modulation active will turn purple.
  • Live mode now ignores mod note edits as it should (when leaving live mode, your mod notes will revert back to their saved state)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where X/Y/Z expressivity would not reset properly when releasing a note
  • Fixed issues when recording via midi
  • Player morphing now working properly
  • Improved sensibility on touch pads, added a dynamic threshold system.
  • Fine tuned volume curves and Drive curve, which improves the overall sound.
  • Delete in Curve Mode now only deletes the automation, not the entire step data
  • Fixed UI modulation feedback on FilterEnv and the main envelope
  • Fixed USB Host (was freezing the unit in previous versions)
  • Calibration system improvement, slightly increases filter range
  • Countless stability improvements

Update is great but midi sync and midi start+stop doesn’t work now:(

I downgraded to th previous firmware to be sure and midi start stop and sync worked perfectly. Any ideas?

#25

V1.1.1r :

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a calibration issue (Freq Knob would go all the way up at 12 O’clock on some machine)
  • Fixed a sensor issue where the Bottom C sensor would become unresponsive
  • Fixed a few UI issue (LED colors not resetting properly)
  • Fixed Play Mode
  • Fixed MIDI Clock

@ddiamond84 does this one fixes it for you ? If not please reach out via support@norand.io, thanks !

#26

That fixed it!! Thank you:). Very much appreciate the quick response!

#27

Hi! Already posted about this on the main board, but the play styles aren’t working on my Mk2. Also crashed on me while I was modulating X-MOD by X-ENV

#28

few bugs in the new firmware

does duophonic mode work for people

mine seems to have stopped working?

#29

I cannot get UNLINK to work with Firmware 1.1.1
Select Parameter - CUTOFF
Hit the UNLINK button
Activate some steps on the SEQ
no envelopes are triggered.
Anyone else getting this error?
thx! :slight_smile:

A new update for MK2 owners.

V1.1.2r :

New feature:

  • Added clear step automation for XMod and XEnv ([DELETE] + [SEQ] + [Pot])

Bug fixes:

  • Curve update on any XMod/XEnv is fixed
  • Fixed issue when deleting automation, it would not save
  • Huge fix on settings (playmodes, duonotes, … ) now working properly
  • Fixed UI glitches (particularly on Curve Mode and Microshift/Probability/Ratchet)
  • Fixed step mute
  • Fixed Copy/Paste pattern (it now paste the patch too, as intended)
  • Fixed UI issue when changing ModNote pitch

SOLVED - the issue was solved by clearing the sd card before updating the firmware - ( it hiccups a little if i go crazy on ratchet ) - oddly midi-in sync mode from another device is now set on func+clock+3
cheers :slight_smile:

Hey - im using v 1.1.2r - it seems that syncing to other devices has gotten worse ie when the Mono Mk2 is master and slaves other devices- im syncing the Mono Mk2 to my SP 404 mkII - firmware v.1.1.1r were ok solid - doing ratchet and recording crazy modulation would put my SP out of syncing and almost make it galloping - Now with the 1.1.2r it seems that even just changing patterns and doing small changes will make the sync gallop a lot - im gonna try syncing with my other devices and into ableton later to see if its consistent :slight_smile:

Whoop whoop!

V1.1.3r :

Bug fixes

    • We’ve reviewed the real time system, which led us to find many ways to improve it. Mono should now be able to handle high load (high USB throughput + lots of automation for exemple) without ever crashing.
    • We have reworked our threading mechanisms, which will prevent very rare race conditions leading to freezes from happening.
    • Fixed an issue with our undo backup system that could lead to freezes
    • Ratcheted note was generating high load, this has been fixed
    • Recording ratchet, probability and microshift was slowing down the unit, this has been fixed.
    • Pot modes have been entirely reviewed and fixed, (mod note included)
    • Swing : now working properly with every clock source
    • Added back selected Mod Note pitch midi channel (with midi channel + 2), can be disabled with the mod note channel setting
    • Negative expressivity assignment now working properly
    • Fixed all the UI bugs we could find
    • Added back the Midi Program Change to select a Pattern

Did you stop updating the firmware? Still a lot of bugs. I will try and see if I can reproduce them.

V1.2.0r :
https://storage.googleapis.com/norand_public_files/mono_MK2_V1.2.1r.zip
Bug fixes

    • fixed the record step by step to work properly on different pages
    • fixed crash when using randomModNote ([TEMPO] + [FUNC] + [PATTERN])
    • fixed issue when leaving ModNote mode without releasing a ModNote, causing an infinite ModNote
    • fixed the temp pattern, it’s now returning to the previous pattern when releasing [FUNC]
    • fixed undo on : step copy/paste, step dice
    • the CC control on pitched setting (VCO Frequency and Filter Frequency) now scales from 0 to 127 with the correct calibration
    • CC 7 is now the OutVolume and CC 8 is now the Drive Amount
    • the UI now refresh instantly after receiving CC
    • added back FilterFrequency CC (CC 73)
    • fixed the multiple historizing of Random Step (needed 3 undo to get rid of it)
    • fixed the undo on Curve Edit (needed multiple undos)
    • huge fix on the second pattern (selected morph pattern), this makes the unit overall way more stable
    • fixed the bug where a note would be played on a step with slide without a note on it
    • fixed the assignations on X axis, the range was way too small outside of the pitched params (VCO1/2Freq and FilterFreq)
    • reworked the Curve Mode, it’s way more responsive now

Manual changes

    • the ClearPattern can only work when the user in on the pattern he wants to delete
    • add the Drive Level CC 8
    • the CC 85 and 86 (instant ACCENT/SLIDE) needs just a value != 0 to be procked
    • add the CC 73 for the Filter Cutoff frequency"

It’s great to see this update! It means that despite the silence from the developers, they’re working in the shadows. :sunglasses:
