Wow, super fast fix. Have given it a quick spin and seems great, so far. Thanks Guys.

Thanks Carson for the quick update!

The issue I was describing before is fixed in 1.4.5.4, however I've discovered something new. Synth sounds I record that are in ADSR mode are sustaining for a much much longer duration than how they were recorded. I've been initializing the project, then initializing the sound, and setting it to be a single Saw on OSC1 in ADSR mode with the Amp Env release set to 0. After I record some very short staccato notes into the sequencer in 16 tunings mode, the notes become sustained for a much longer duration on playback like they're stuck.

What's also odd is that after I erase all notes on the pad (and looked in the Event view to insure that I have), if I hit play on the sequencer (without record selected) and let it run for a bar or two... it automatically plays a long sustained note by itself. If I then stop the sequencer and look in the Event view, it automatically has added a note all by itself. Very strange.

Thanks, I'm seeing that here and will investigate further. From my first tests, it looks as though the duration is being set to an incorrect value.

We've just fixed the above issue and have released the 1.4.5.5 OS.

Thanks again!

Pretty trippy last 4/20 for Tempest dev. [thumbs up]

Yup, the ADSR sounds are working just fine now in 1.4.5.5
Thanks to you and the DSI team for banging out these updates as quickly as the bugs were found yesterday Carson!

Hi Carson,

Under 1.4.5.5 I have had 1 freeze and about 3 jumps today in about 4-5 hours of continuous use. Again Tempest in PlayList Mode and Slaved via USB. Freeze was at end of a bar just before transition. The jumps where no longer a stutter, but more like normal silky smooth transitions. The freeze and jumps were on two different projects. Don't know what else to say.

cbmd · « **Reply #527 on:** April 21, 2017, 12:26:10 PM »

Thanks for the note. I've been running the Tempest with playlist on and external sync for about 3 hours and have not yet seen a skip nor crash.

How are you specifically using the Tempest when it is externally sync'd? Are you making a song and locating through the playlist by navigating to different steps of your DAW? Are you jamming with it continuously?

Any additional info could be helpful to track down the cause of this.

grunes · « **Reply #528 on:** April 21, 2017, 02:22:35 PM »

Hi Carson,

Thanks for response. For that 4-5 hour session I have been jamming along, then doing some edits to beats and sounds. So a lot of stop/starting, as well as switching from Slave to Master. Loading of other projects to create a set, then jamming along from start of set to feel how it is all fitting together.

In summary, I am seeing this from just jamming along, even after a power cycle. It does seem to be down to just two particular projects now.

I apologise I can't be more specific and if you can't replicate it or get any other feedback, I fully understand. Thanks.

cbmd · « **Reply #529 on:** April 21, 2017, 02:37:28 PM »

No apologies needed, and thanks for the additional info. Did you happen to notice whether the time stamp on the Tempest displayed a very large time stamp value when the stall and/or crash occurred? something like 1184817.0.00?

Were you actively playing sound pads as the playlist rolled?

If you are only seeing the issue on a specific set of projects, do you know which OS version the projects were created on? Is there any other specific sounds/operation in these projects which are unique from other projects which do not display the issue?

grunes · « **Reply #530 on:** April 21, 2017, 02:57:08 PM »

The time stamp as far as I can recall for crash was on at 30.496.

No pads where being played.

As for the the specific projects they where started on OS1.4 and may well have been mistakenly saved out from previous beta testing.

Nothing unique in regards to sounds/operation in these projects.

cbmd · « **Reply #531 on:** April 21, 2017, 03:05:26 PM »

Thanks. Would you mind sending me the project files to download or a link to a download location?

grunes · « **Reply #532 on:** April 21, 2017, 03:35:33 PM »

Hi Carson,

I have sent you files at support@davesmithinstruments.com

Thanks.

cbmd · « **Reply #533 on:** April 21, 2017, 04:22:43 PM »

Thanks, doesn't look like they've come in to our email yet, but I will keep an eye out.

dsetto · « **Reply #534 on:** April 21, 2017, 10:57:46 PM »

I figure it's a good idea to create a new sound/beat/project from an initialized one, when encountering peculiar behavior on a beta.

I.e., if an issue is happening in 1.4.5.5, then check it with a file that was created in 1.4.5.5.

Issue with arpeggiator/roll

After using the arpeggiator in 16 tunings mode while holding down 3 or more pads, I've noticed that when I just roll a single pad theres a gap in the quantization.

It seems like when I just roll a single pad its still acting as an arpeggiator as if I were holding other pads, but instead of playing other sounds it just fills in those parts of the pattern with silence.

Ive discovered that reseting system parameters fixes it until I preform the same actions.

Thanks!

OS 1.4.5.5
Voice 1.5

Can I have the link to this software update?

grunes · « **Reply #537 on:** April 22, 2017, 11:12:15 PM »

They can be found under the post "Tempest BETA OS - Main 1.4.5.5 and Voice 1.5". You need to be logged in, and then you will be able to see the files at the bottom of the opening post.

I'm still on Tempest_Main_1.4.4b, but i've experienced some ghost 'snare-like' noise on every second 1/4 note, it's very strange. There're no other notes in the event editor, but there is a noise playing, if i initialise the sound and sequence, it's still there. Not on every project, but on one particular project at least. I have nothing assigned in the matrix and no delay used either... it also happens if i have no loaded waveforms or samples in any of the oscillators.

I'm a bit worried about updating to 1.4.5.5, as i'm in the middle of 2 projects.

(My thoughts offered to be help communal goal.)

- This thread's aim is to rectify current Main OS Beta.

- If you need to guarantee operability of files - Projects, Beats, Sounds- created in a previous Main OS, I would advise against updating.

- Conversely, when testing the current Main OS Beta, if you come across issues you want to investigate further, limit all files- Projects, Beats, Sounds- to ones created in that current Main Beta, and from initialized states.*

- Updating and OS and reverting back to a previous OS is a fairly simple process, once you've done it. But, be aware of the instruction to not meddle - including power supply - with the unit it lets you know it's done.

*As a way to simplify the scenario and get on same page with DSI Support.
