Damn, that sucks! It’s a little worrisome. MN had no ideas what could be the problem?

Post

walker said it was something about a bad calibration.
the knob still worked, but then me recalibrating it killed it :oops:

im not good with technical shit.
i hadnt mentioned yet, that i had tried clocking it so fast, as i didnt want them to say "well you f**ked it, what did you think would happen?" which i know they wouldnt, but you get paranoid...
but ill mail them when i hear back from elevator just to let them know its sorted/or ask for their assistance if needed, and ill send the video of my playback array loop, and a little info on what i "think" may have been the cause?

that is the only thing i can think of, other than that, everything was just average cv in, no weird configurations or anything :shrug:
:ud:

and it sucks yeah, but not going to let it get me down, it will be sorted, so i dont lose anything. just a couple more days waiting (again) :lol:
:ud:

i wouldn't worry too much, there's a lot of units out there in the wild, mine seems to be the only one (so far) that has this particular issue, but many folk had theirs a month before me.

it's basically a small computer, chances are that one in a million (rough odds) is going to fail.
im just that lucky one in a million! :hihi:

ive heard back from make noise about my fast clock, it seems as i thought it wouldn't cause any issues such as this.
the worst that might happen with a fast clock, is it might miss some triggers. audio rate clocking is possible.

That’s good to know because I kept wondering how fast clocking could cause problems when they seem to have a patch anything anywhere design approach, well, except for Teleplexer with its ominous warnings.

yeah, i didn't think it would either, but can't think of anything else i did that i haven't copied from a video :hihi:

hopefully once they get the unit back, they can track down the issue and program a fix.

final update till i receive the replacement.
this one gets picked up monday, assume my replacement will be here a day or so after it gets back to them.

now over to you, let's hear it/share knowledge!!

ok, unit arrived on friday when the missus was here :o
so after she dozed off at 2am, i was in here installing the module, and having a quick test.
quick being one hour, with not pitch variation, just fm :D

spent the past couple of days going through the early patches again, just to get up to speed.
and now enjoying it, like nothing ever happened :D

massive thanks of course, to everyone at make noise and elevator sounds, great service all round :)

Just saw someone on MW having the same issue. Hopefully it's not too contagious...

same side too?
hopefully mine will be there in a few days, and they can find the problem. get an update out for it maybe.

seems is definitely software, as the knob is still sending data, so in my head as a non coder, that should be fixable?

Yes, very good.

I wonder how many black Telharmonics there are.

On your Spectraphon woes, did the retailer not offer to swap it?
