Previously:
Today we are releasing the beta of the 1.31 version of Metropolis. This is primarily a bug fix release with no major new features. Changes include:
More efficient quantizer with several bugfixes.
Buttons more responsive to longer clicks.
Fixed loading of last saved settings on startup.
Fixed tempo differing from reported BPM when in internal mode.
Fix PNG mode playing one extra step.
Please give this a try (and especially the changed features) and leave feedback (good or bad) in this thread. Currently the beta is available for download only for OS X users, a Windows version will be provided for the final release.
Updates by a third party programmer.
Button behaviour certainly seems much better.
I am still having problems with the way root works.
All stages set to C0. Octave range is 1. Scale is major.
Set the stages to play C0 through to C1. Fine.
Change the root to D. The stages now go B0, D0, E0, F#0, G0,A0,B0,B0. Is this right?
Ok, I see the problem. I mistakenly set the quantizer to wrap notes which go out of bounds by one octave, but in this case the first B0 (which was quantized to a B-1 that the Metropolis can’t generate, so it wrapped up by an octave) should just be shifted to the closest scale degree which would be C#0. The other notes are as expected.
Probably the general forum. I personally only have experience with the official AVR programmer and the two types of USB ISP we’ve sold, never tried any of the others.
i uploaded the 1.32 beta and it seemed at first to be a successful upload. but after a power cycle the lcd screen did not turn on upon stat up. so i tried to upload again and again the same results. soi decided to upload the 1.30 back onto it and now the module is completely unresponsive. i followed the instructions to the letter and have no idea what is happening please help!
I have the same problem…
When powered up the display is either correctly on, partially lit or completely off. In all three states everything works apart from the display.
The unit was updated from 1.31 and had ‘factory installed’ 1.30 before that. The unit is powered by a Doepfer 9U rack. All other modules in the rack work correctly.
It appears to be a power display only issue following recent update.
I wonder if it is a problem with the fuse settings on the chip?
