Thatâs the right thinking except there is an initial CPU overhead you are unintentionally including in that 5%. To get the real number you would put another SIN after the first SIN and measure again, then take the difference. It should be around 2-3% for the SIN.
Itâs the new STRESS EFFECT unit!!!
Sorry couldnât resist - super silly
Iâm getting stressed out!
under the most recent firmware if i save a chain of units then try and reload it later it gives me the sad face and says that it is not a file. any ideas on what is going on?
Just a quick patch for some of the especially annoying bugs that you have found.
v0.1.6pre-patch8 CHANGES
- FIXED: limited pitch modulation range on CUSTOM unit
- FIXED: In Chain Preset Saving, the button release from pressing âSaveâ was inadvertently activating the âNew Folderâ option on the next screen.
v0.1.6pre-patch9 CHANGES
- FIXED: creating a new folder while saving chain/unit presets caused .lua to be appended to the folder name.

I believe the following two fixes address your problem:
- FIXED: In Chain Preset Saving, the button release from pressing âSaveâ was inadvertently activating the âNew Folderâ option on the next screen.
- FIXED: creating a new folder while saving chain/unit presets caused .lua to be appended to the folder name.
Here is what I believe happened. When entering the Save Chain Preset screen, you were immediately bumped to the New Folder screen. You entered what you thought was going to be the name of the chain preset file but instead it created a folder with the same name (and added the .lua extension to be even more evil and confusing). Next time, you tried loading this âfileâ (actually a folder), the ER-301 correctly complained that you didnât select a file.
Phew. That was a hairy one and many apologies for it.
Oops. Missed this in patch 7. Now fixed in patch 8.
Totally minor bug report: Just installed patch 9. It says âpatch 8â under current firmware. I previously had patch 6 installed.
Thanks for letting me know. I have indeed forgotten to increment the patch number in patch 9. However, you can feel confident that patch 9 is indeed installed.
6 Track Recorder
With the new method of navigation in the file browser:
-If recording using the 6 track recorder, itâs not immediately evident that the file has been saved after selecting the folder pressing the Enter button. A brief little âFiles Savedâ popup/feedback would be really helpful.
-With the new file system navigation, is there a way of making the browsing arrows more catered to this 6 track saving operation? So you could navigate into a folder containing another folder, but would not allow you to move a level deeper if that selected folder contains no additional foldera? Currently, if you navigate too deep⌠you get a ânothing selectedâ when you press ENTER. Which is sort of weird as my brain this feels like the final destination of where the files should go and just let me save them there without showing that ânothing selectedâ dialogue.
-The âPress ENTER to link/unlink/assignâ - I was confused at first and just kept pressing ENTER trying to find it⌠until realized I had to have the cursor between the channels.
It wasnât immediately obvious so Iâm wondering if the smaller display updated depending on where the cursor was placed?
IE:
if a cursor is currently on any channel:
âPress ENTER to Assignâ
if a cursor is currently between any channel:
âPress ENTER to Link/Unlinkâ
*BUGS
Iâm trying to figure out how to reliably repeat these:
-on certain occasions the 6 track will show a flashing âpausedâ symbol, it says âpausedâ, but the record remaining continues to countdown, thereâs card activity, and the record time duration increases. Pressing the Pause button again didnât do anything . I think has to do with being âpausedâ, exiting the 6 track into the admin⌠or being âpausedâ and going back to user mode and then returning to the admin mode.
-on 3 occasions, if I played with the 6track, upon re-recording, the buffer overflow meter pinned and the overflow counter goes bananas.
Not sure if this a bug or a feature request but when clearing a whole bunch of units with inputs assigned with limiters on there is a Pop / thud when they are cleared - would it be possible to automute the outputs when clearing all?
Why the added âswitchâ now? Just seems to have added one more button press that wasnât necessary before?
I agree - canât reproduce easily but had the exact same thing happen with me too - confusion with pause/play flashing graphic as well as the overruns - fixed by a reboot only i believe
As to saving recordings the 6-track still behaves similarly to the chain and unit save from a couple of patches back. i.e. you can only make a new folder , not a new file
v0.1.6pre-patch10 CHANGES
- FIXED: Got rid of the intermediate âswitchâ state on the units.
- FIXED: 6-track recorder UI behaved weirdly when recording buffers overflowed.
- ENHANCED: added context-sensitive hints to the 6-track recorder setup screen.
- ENHANCED: audio is faded out/in whenever you mute/unmute a chain
- ENHANCED: chain is now auto-muted before you clear or link/unlink channels

Hello! Did something change with quicksave loading on boot with the pre-patch10?
With pre-patch10-96kHz, my unit freezes (just sits on âloading Q01.luaâ with flashing LED pattern) when trying to load my last quicksave on boot. When the setting âRestore last quicksave on bootâ is set to prompt it seems to be ok, as well as when I load a quicksave manually. This happens with a quicksave made with pre-patch10 with just a sample player unit.
With quicksaves made on older firmware versions I do get a âfailed to load quicksaveâ message when loading via prompt or manually, but on cursory glance the quicksave seems to load and work ok. When I go back to pre-patch9 I still get the âfailed to load quicksaveâ at the end, but I can load the last quicksave on boot without the unit freezing.
Taking a look at this now.
The fake âfailed to load quicksaveâ message is happening because the old quicksaves do not have 6-track recorder state (which is now saved with the quicksaves). I will change it so that the absence of 6-track save data is ignored.
Now for that freeze when automatically restoring the last quicksaveâŚ
