Lost hihat settings

[dmitri]

Tested again, with and without MDM.

Hmm... That's the thing. Not all the settings get lost. The ones that get lost are:

hihatPedal->misc->(type, curve, alt input)

Set to Pot, Log1, Yes and all three are preserved.

hihatPedal->levels->(low, high, open, semiOpen, halfOpen, closed)

Set to 20, 800, 12, 42, 72, 102 - all preserved with AutoLevels set to No so that not to affect Low/High levels.

a few of the hihat notes changed, and lastly, p1, p2, p3 changed on the customcurve #4

Set to 2,3,4 - all preserved.

A couple of the "disabled notes" check boxes don't persist in mdm either. The ones I noticed were:

hihat head/bow 3rd zone alt note & pressroll note and hihat rim/edge alt note & pressroll note.

There is no such thing as "disabled notes" check boxes in MDM. Check boxes next to Alt/Pressroll notes are there to link them to main Notes. These check boxes are cleared on loading settings from MegaDrum.

I've posted a video showing the behaviour in MDM here

However, I have also simplified and narrowed down the issue. It appears to be unrelated to MDM, and only in the firmware of the MegaDrum itself.

I can replicate the issue simply by doing the following on the MegaDrum module itself.
* Goto HiHat settings, set AutoLevel to 'NO'
* Select "Save Config" (1), "Save DrumMap" (1) (just to be sure), both prompt "Done"
* AutoLoadConfig is already set to True.
* Restart Module, check HiHat settings, AutoLevel is set to 'YES'.
* Select "Load Config" (1), "Load DrumMap" (1), and check HiHat settings, AutoLevel is set to 'YES'.

So it appears to be an issue in the firmware in regard to saving or loading the settings.
Note: This is only for a few settings, i.e AutoLevel, the HiHat Notes get reset, the type keeps resetting from Log1 to Linear etc. and my Auxillary inputs are always reset to 0. As you can see in the movie from MDM, the Kick settings took, and were not reset....

Here is a video just using the MegaDrum interface.
I usually don't use this interface (have just used MCT in the past till it stopped working after I upgraded firmware), the screen is upside down in relation to the buttons, so the button direction may not make sense... but you can see what is happening from the screen.

Shown in video:
1). Set AutoLevel = No, save config + drumMap
2). Change AutoLevel back to Yes, load config + drumMap
3). AutoLevel is still 'Yes'

Also, test 2:
1). Set AutoLevel = No, save config + drumMap
2). leave AutoLevel = No, load config + drumMap
3). AutoLevel is still 'No', so this is 'correct', but doesn't line up with the scenario above.
If the incorrect setting was being restored, then this should be 'Yes', this seems to show that the setting is not being restored at all.

Test 3:
1). Set AutoLevel = No, save config + drumMap
2). restart
3). AutoLevel is 'Yes'

wazza187, I did the tests the same way. I will repeat your tests tonight exactly as you did.

Thanks!
Also, sorry to hijack kupooglop's thread, but figured if it's the same issue, the more info the merrier...

I traced the bug. It turns out saving/loading configs work correctly only if MaxInputs set to the maximum. I'm no working on fixing it.

[wazza187]

Awesome!
Let me know if I can help test.
Cheers!

No prob Wazz. I agree it's better to work together on common problems.

BTW Thanks Dmitri,

Although the HiHat behaviour was weird, but you're right about the MaxInput setting. Mine was untouched since I got the new encoded chip, so it was set to 16, not 56. This is why my auxillary inputs were never saving.... setting this to 56 also resolves the HiHat issue, so although there may be a bug in there somewhere, the issue is resolved for me by correctly setting the MaxInpus on my module,

Still happy to test any other firmware, but my immediate issu resolved
Thanks again!
Waz.

Thanks Dmitri

ditto. I guess this is a good reason to upgrade to 56 inputs!
