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.

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.

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

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  :o
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 !  8)
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.

The supervisor will always have 2 destinations as latest firmware have.
But it should work well with old patch that has been created with one destination.

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.

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 :)

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  :D 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 :)

Thanks :)
I really want this editor to work correctly.

But i'm afraid you'll lose some destinations for your patches if you use the 3.* version with your old patches.

Anyway... have i have all the  v3.1.2 binaries to compile

There does seem to be some bugs. At least for me.

When using a folder to create a bank in the root of C:\ (like C:\patches) it says it created the bank in "C:\" but it doesn't. The .bnk is no where to be found. If i have the same folder on the desktop it works, it creates the .bnk on my desktop.

For some reason i don't get sound when loading a patch into the new editors, or when sending an already loaded patch to preen. I tried saving such a patch to see if i could get it working if e.g turning on/off the preen, but such patches are completely silent.
