Everson MD REbuild

This same snare works on tom2, although it`s hotter.
The tom pad connected to snare input gives that same strange values (only 11 on PS2, 0 on PS1, ...).

Something must have happened to the snare input then when you connected the ribbon cable in reverse in the beginning.

OK, I think I figured out what was actually the problem.
Snare settings.
I moved the tom2 to snare input (4) and move its settings there as well. And it works.
So, the input 4 PS works as well.
The most different values between toms and snare are threshold and dyn values. So, I`m suspecting the problem is there.
I suspected that from the very beginning, as you may remember, but I was reluctant to change them as I had great triggering ...
I`ll report the results.

Dmitri - I saved a file yesterday with my MD settings and when opening it today, it refuses to read the PS values. (But it is stated in the mdm file using notepad)...Could you just verify if you are able to read back PS settings in MDM ver 20130211?

I think I've fixed it in the latest version (20130322).

Verified - works perfectly!!

Thanks!!!

Speaking of firmware ...
dmitri, is it possible to add a feature which enables you to see which config is currently loaded?

It may be useful indeed. I will add a screen which shows last loaded/saved config - it might be not a current config since it might have been modified via menu or via SysEx.

[everson]

Yep, very useful. Especially if you have lots of configs and/or change them often.
Or if you save a config, but MD for some reason won't load it on power up. And you don`t know if it loaded that one or some other.

Hi!

Interesting idea. Should the MD panel include some kind of revision version field + the date?

Today...as a MD/MDM user, you are responsible to keep track of all changes...and remember what you have done on the journey to reach optimal triggering.
A version field could be useful to help the user! (also that MDM actually logs all sysex changes in a text file)

Was this what you are thinking of?

A screen which shows the currently loaded config# - that`s pretty much it.
But last saved date of a config could be also useful, I guess ...
