Let me try to clarify the situation

The editor has 2 destinations since v 2.12.0.
There is a bug since this version v2.12.0 which is :
Editor v2.12.0 and newer don't load correctly patches created with editor v2.11.4 and before. All destination of those "old" presets will be set to "none".

I'll publish a v3.1.2 asap.

Ok, good  it actually does work now with the first destination correctly, but again, that took some fiddling with using both the latest version + v2.11.4, i must have mixed up the files in some way where it understood the destinations heh, no idea what i did.

Your support is truly 10/10

Sorry i'm lost.
Can you just say what is not working now ? (What you do, what you see, what you expect to see)
And what is the latest version that was working ?
(I'm a bit tired )

Sure!

In previous (v3.1.0) the Editor only had ONE destination in the matrix section, like it has always been for me when working with the older editor (2.11.4 with CV xml added).
 
Now, when i updated the xml files for CV, did the reset, installed the latest editor - there are TWO destinations (which is how it should be in the newer versions, right?).
Unforunately this is not compatible with my patches because the mod matrix now don't understand what's supposed to be in the destinations, everything there says NONE, instead of e.g Modulator Decay etc etc

I don't know why it worked before, why i had one destination instead of the two.. maybe a bug, a bug that made it work? i could use 3.1.0 to create banks just fine, now it's not possible, i will lose all the destinations in the matrix.

Hope it's more clear

If i had a bug, i guess you can't help because it was just a bug (that also happened to be beneficial to me, made these patches work).

 
Edit: ok, after messing with the xml files and switching versions, using both old a new, it does seem to work. i get two destinations but the first destination no longer says NONE it's the correct one. Haha, no idea what i did but at least this should work. So you can ignore all this. puh. finally i can make my banks

old patch?
i just want it to be like before i did this update, because then it worked i could create a bank and destinations were properly transferred, and i guess the reason for that is that i only had 1 destination in the new editor.

Aouch lots of edit, i don't know any more what is you problem at the end 

Stupid as i was i just deleted or overwrote my old folder in users/roaming-whatever.
Any idea of how i can solve that?

If one of the XML file does not exists it's recreated with default value when the editor is lanched.
So it should be OK.

Destination problem 
Oh no.. I know what's wrong.
This editor is a real pain. Comaptibility with all previous version and preenfm2 and 3 make this super complicated.
And a lot of things to test.
Thanks a lot for all your tests ! 
Please stick with your old version untill 3.1.2.


There are some code to remember last selection. Seems like it does not work :/

ok, no worries. hopefully there's some type of solution. i just don't understand why i can't get the new editor to have one destination like i had before. that would solve my problem and it would be compatible again. was it just bugged and now it's not?

I can't even begin to imagine how complicated coding is.. i suck at anything math or code lol.

How odd, i tried again and now there are no doubles. I've restarted my PC one time, maybe that has something to do with it. So it's all good it seems The last time the patch DataCrush was there x2.

Ouch i hope it's not a random bug because of some file cache... 

I published a release 3.1.1
https://github.com/Ixox/preenfm2Controller/releases
There's a readme in the zip that explains how to have all the matrix input for Eurorack.

I did it like the instructions, i now get the CV options. Unfortunately this changed the new editor to have two destinations in the mod matrix, i've not had that before (no, not even after version 2.11.4). So this broke all my patches when uploading or reading my patches, it will just say "NONE" in the matrix destinations (which i use a lot).

Stupid as i was i just deleted or overwrote my old folder in users/roaming-whatever.

Any idea of how i can solve that?

edit:

installed the old editor which just had one destination (v2.11.4) and it's CV xml file. Tested. It reads my files like it should.
Started the new editor, it will still show two destinations, loaded a file and like expected it's broken + it breaks the whole bank if i try to make a bank since it doesn't understand the destinations.
I also tried deleting its xml files, replacing them + renaming with the old 2.11.4 versions, but it will still show 2 destinations in the matrix.

Any way to make the new editor just have 1 destination like i had before? i guess this is in some XML file.. or if really bad, it was some bug which is now solved, that would suck because then i have 300 bugged patches and i will have to upload them one by one like before (since they do work in the old 2.11.4 editor).

Edit: also, not sure if its a bug, when loading a patch it defaults to my documents, every time. so each time you have to go into the folder you're working in. usually programs like this can remember where you where when you loaded the last time so it defaults back to that folder instead of the default location.

In the filter section, would it be possible to add a mixer which just makes the audio louder (like x2 or even x3)? I like it when i can make all patches in around the same volume. It's possible to do that, but then i have to turn down the volume down to perhaps half on most patches, and then full volume on the few patches that gets really quiet (maybe they have more than 1 voice or use waveforms which isn't as loud as some, then they get very quiet). 

I find that many of the filters will also make the volume go down a ton, which often makes me not want to use them at all since the overall volume will just be too low. It often also seems to kill the low end completely.  I  often use just 1 voice which gets the volume up for the patch, when using several voices the volume is lowered by perhaps 50% for some reason.

The "Bass" filter is the one filter which is most useful i think, it does seem to make the volume go up by perhaps 15% or so, so its somewhat useful for that (and some patches does sound good with more bass too). I also get the feeling that the filter reacts as if the signal is going in to the filter is bit too hot, at least it's how it can sometimes sound (i obviously don't know how this really works in software).

OK got your bank. Not listened to it yet

Which one is doubled when you create a bank from the presets you sent me ?
Cannot see any double.

I Tried on PC.
Do you use a mac ? (will try on mac later).

How odd, i tried again and now there are no doubles. I've restarted my PC one time, maybe that has something to do with it. So it's all good it seems The last time the patch DataCrush was there x2.

The patches are meant to be played with my own wav's... i can send them too if you want them. not all uses my own waveforms but perhaps 50% of the patches. they are also monophonic and many actually needs a CV to CV3 and 4 to sound "right".. but some might sound cool without it too.

Might have discovered a bug?

I've noticed that every time i make a bank i get 2 doubles. E.g now i have two patches called "Darkmess" even though i only have 1 file called that. If i remove the 1 filled called Darkmess, and try again; now i have no patch called that.

Before that i made a bank and i had two patches named "Death", so i removed the file called "Death" from the folder, tried again, same thing, no patch now exists with that name.

So it does not seem like i have named two patches the same thing.

I have used 128 files in the folder, no more, no less.

edit: yeah, if i remove "Darkmess", now i instead have two patches called "Dancechord", so it just took the next file in order and made it a double.

Seems to work great! Really great interface with both renaming and drag and drop, love it, more than i could ever ask for

The only issue for us with eurorack version is that these new editors don't yet have CV in the destinations. But i checked, and its possible to create a bank and it won't mess up these settings for the patches, i also tried renaming and thus resaving the patch and it won't remove or mess up these destinations either, so that's good! I can switch to the older editor with the CV destinations when i create patches.

Man, the editor is really state of the art now, i mean i use Elektron's editors for Analog Four and Digitone and to me this editor is easier to use just more no-nonsense overall, really great work.

Hi vurt,
Can you give a try at the editor v 3.1.0 ?
https://github.com/Ixox/preenfm2Controller/releases

Please backup your bank and preset before using it.
I made a fair amount of tests but i woudln't like a bad bug to corrupt your bank

Yay! I will test it Thanks a lot!

« on: January 30, 2021, 06:54:10 PM »

there actually doesnt appear to be an option for centre, only positive or negative(...?) 

Of course there is.. I guess it's an universal dc adapter, just google "center positive" and you will see how the connecter should be positioned. it's either negative or positive..  adapter is always preferable imo. USB can create noise sometimes. 

edit, image:



so the arrow on the first connector part (which is connected to the cable) should point towards that marking on the attachable connector..
This is how it's done on all the universal DC adapters that i have at least, and i have quite a few..
