Hi @miropoly, the bug was reported in a lengthy set of emails with Martin at Polyend, starting January 2023, concluding June 2023 with a return of the product. There was sadly no progress.
Hi @alxzndr , I believe the correspondence from 2023 was about a different issue.
Hi @miropoly - No, this is one of the same issues, shown in the video below. There were around three issues in total.
Hereās the video I sent to Martin in February 2023 - https://youtu.be/wieZATnwaZ4
Copy/pasting variations in this project file, the same one throughout all these bug reports is unusable. Iāve had the same happen in other projects but canāt keep alpha testing for free. I tried pressing one pad at a time as you suggest above and tried setting the variation tracks to all be selected with one button press. Iāll save, and variations will usually be corrupted even if they were playing fine beforehand.
Hello again,
This seems to me like a separate problem, with Step Page selection (16-32-48-64).
Thank you for sharing this additional info: weāll keep this in mind when investigating this issue.
Hey @here,
iāve sat down yesterday and tried to reproduce this myself. But i see now, that it appears difficult to narrow down the issue to what exactly is causing this.
For context:
- Iāve sat down and started with a fresh project.
- Iāve created 3 sample tracks and 3 midi tracks
- Iāve started to create variations for patterns
- Iāve started copying patterns and variations and changing things in them
At around 80 patterns i still couldnāt reproduce it.
So iām wondering, is there anything iām missing. Does anyone remember at what point they noticed this issue?
- Was it after some action you did?
- Was it after starting the device and/or loading a saved project?
- Should i overload a single pattern with full 8 tracks?
- Did you use 32-64 steps in your tracks?
For your information - iām trying to create a minimal viable reproducable test-case. Meaning a way that i can run into this error reliably every single time.
So any additional information on things that youāve done right before this happened, would be super useful!
@Sandroid Itās been 18 months since I posted this. I couldnāt be a polyend customer/beta tester any more.
I received a message that a report about flickering knobs, again, it made the device unusable, has apparently been fixed 18 months after I reported it.
You guys need to open source this company or get funds to hire in more programmers. Iāll check in in a year to see how the bug updates are coming, maybe get one secondhand.
