Release 1.12.0-RC1

SrMouraSilva · May 22, 2022, 5:50pm

I also tried with Windows 10 and didn’t worked (but maybe there was missing a driver).

dmesg

When I connect, appears

But after some time there was appears some message error and dmesg added

and shows

After tried to reconnect, I checked ip addr. Connection is apparently ok

I tried the SPDIF option, it seems very convenient. A question about audio quality here: What is convenient to use? the analog or digital outputs? Does the A / D conversion for your benchmarks create noticeable aliasing or can it be used for recording?

Only thing I noticed is an increase in volume / headroom on SPDIF.

Thanks

SrMouraSilva · May 22, 2022, 6:50pm

I tried a lot of combination of turn off and turn on and no one worked.

@falkTX, is it possible to downgrade the mod version without losing the user data? I didn’t backup the pedalboards

falkTX · May 22, 2022, 7:50pm

You can always safely downgrade, only the factory-reset images will delete/format user data.

But we are moving forwards with 1.12, not backwards. So it is best to try to find the reason this fails.
From what I have seen, you are the first one to have this issue.

The line from your system:

[  387.662454] Lockdown: modprobe: unsigned module loading is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

look very suspicious. perhaps you are running a hardened/locked down kernel?

Lukasz · May 23, 2022, 11:53am

this is something which will make MOD footswitch even more super tweakable unit.

Lukasz · May 23, 2022, 11:57am

This is great!

six_wax · May 24, 2022, 5:29pm

Appreciate the continued development to bring the DuoX up to parity…

…apart from the bank and snapshot management system

Any idea when these might arrive?

SrMouraSilva · May 25, 2022, 10:18pm

Just to describing clearly when I detected the problem at the first time:

I connected the mod dwarf on my computer;
I open http://moddwarf.local
The website recommended a system update (because I’m in the beta testers)
I updated
I waited the mod dwarf reboot, and it occurred
I waited the http://moddwarf.local autoreload after update, as usual. But it didn’t occurred;
I tried reload the page, reconnect mod dwarf, reboot mod dwarf, reboot my laptop and all of them didn’t worked.

I don’t know. But I remember that I updated the kernel recently by the usual process: the update software recommends me to install the updated versions and I agreed.

Edit: dmesg shows me

Some other tests that I did:

I tested the dwarf on a Windows 10 on the same computer and didn’t worked;
I tested the dwarf on a Kubuntu 22.04 live cd on the same computer and didn’t worked;
I tested the equipment on other computer with Windows 10 and didn’t worked;
I took the dwarf to my work and tested with an Ubuntu 22.04 and an Ubuntu 20.04 and they worked!

I don’t know what is happening

Rom · May 27, 2022, 9:31pm

For now it seams all right !
Thanks a LOT for making the possibility to dim LEDs !

redcloud · May 29, 2022, 10:16am

Same here on Dwarf

redcloud · May 29, 2022, 10:30am

Fixed himself after a couple of reboots.

khz · May 29, 2022, 2:12pm

I have a Mod Duo X (mdx) and with the 1.12.0-RC1 it runs so far without problems. After the update I had to reboot the mdx several times because it was not recognized by the computer (Web Gui), then everything was fine.
Separate SPDIF is so cool, so you have more routing options. …

falkTX · June 2, 2022, 6:50pm

For those that had issues with USB not being recognized, do you mind if I open a private/direct message with you with links to an updated build?
It supposedly fixes the behaviour, would be great to confirm before doing an RC2.
Thanks!

SrMouraSilva · June 3, 2022, 5:31pm

Please! I would appreciate.

khz · June 5, 2022, 5:23pm

Please!

I’m using this new release last days with my dwarf. I liked a lot the new LED brightness and the go back control page is perfect… Thanks a lot!

Only my bluetooth 5 dongle is not working anymore. Will you include the rtl8761bu_fw.bin firmware file in the next RC??

Apart from that, I think it will be great to have the go back function aswell when you assign the plugin presets to one footswitch (… and simetrical )

khz · June 6, 2022, 11:19am

THX

A few ideas:

If you could rename the output e.g. “Hardware Playback 1/2 Analog” and “Hardware Playback 3/4 SPDIF” in the web GUI I would find my way around even faster.

And some more:

Is it possible to display (and disconnect, …) the connections to the other plugins at the I/O of the plugins when the mouse pointer is over a connection? I find that very helpful with Cardinal/vcf rack.
Also if you could set the relative length of patch cables would be useful. Like you can do with Cardinal/vcf rack.

falkTX · June 6, 2022, 12:09pm

We do not include any radio-like (bluetooth/wifi) firmware, at all.

If you have placed firmware on the dwarf user data, alike done with wifi, it will remain across updates unless you factory reset it.

fer · June 7, 2022, 8:50am

Good enough for me. Thanks!

Strangely I don’t recall to have done it before, and it was working before 1.12-RC1… with no factory reset yet.
