Forgot to mention that the test I did with the Boss RC2 was with the second gear setup. Regarding the first gear set, I had already performed a comparative test with the Kemper internal looper (which is pretty limited in terms of duration or has no multiparts, but does very well what it does…looping) which I didn’t initially report, and as usual it worked flawlessly too.
I only indicated what my gear and setup was for you to review my Aeros setup in terms of line-in vs instrument-in, and mono vs stereo (in and out), but I don’t think I am wrong. Please do not hesitate to correct me if you feel I am.
My PRS pickups output is obviously far more powerful than what exits from the Squier’s, but as the problem exists with the Squier too…
Hello @DavidPackouz,
Install in progress… I see no changelog, am I alpha tester ?
Sorry to insist, but it would be nice, if you could take the habit to provide a file hash (I suggested in the 2.17.x firmware page a SHA512, which is the current standard, but actually pick the one you prefer) when you release a new version… I like to flash my devices with stuff I’m sure I got the right content for… Thank you in advance.
@LaurentB we made this version with just the fix for the popping issue. We plan to make a new version with the changlog updated once you confirm the problem has been solved.
@LaurentB regarding the hash issue, the update file is internally encrypted so it’s not possible for someone to change the content and create a valid update
@DavidPackouz Hashes have multiple purposes, and my concern here is not that someone would temper the file you release but the fact that I want to be sure that what I copy to the SD card is correct. It’s a common and sane practice used almost everywhere in software development/releasing whatever the type of packaging used… and which would cost you absolutely nothing.
Ok, I won’t keep the suspense too long. It seems it’s a success !! I can’t hear the pops anymore !
I will conduct further testing with different levels, so still to be confirmed. But for the time being I feel pretty confident it solves the issue. You may deserve a …
I’m testing intensively, but can’t reproduce anymore! Looks like my brand new roadster got finally its wheels !! Congrats !
Nope… Hashes are there to prevent any mistake you may do (i.e. providing the wrong file, think twice before saying that in urgency it could not happen) bad things that could happen in between like hacking, even if unlikely in this case, (you’re saying it’s not possible, but you are not open source, no one can verify that you’re doing things correctly, that you are not using an outdated encryption algorithm, that you are using it correctly…yes don’t laugh ), and any mistake I could do on my side (i.e. renaming the wrong file or other…).
It’s the security belt anyone releasing a piece of software needs…
@DavidPackouz
I can tell you I feel relieved too. It was such a hunt to find what I consider to be the future of loopers… I would have been so disappointed to resume from the beginning… This is not so often that you see real breakthrough and innovation in a type of product, and the Aeros is. But again before designing a super infotainment system for a car, it needs to have wheels. So you have to be irreproachable on the foundations, and working loops are the foundations. That would clearly have been a deal breaker.
Now, this device has definitely the potential to become the indisputable #1, and users on this forum request a lot of interesting things. So I feel confident in the future. Yet it looks like you have a limited bandwidth in terms of development, so I hope you’ll choose wisely your next key features.
I agree with you 100%. Choosing what to focus on is our biggest challenge – so many great ideas from the community will keep us very busy for a long time. But we will choose what we believe will have the greatest impact in the shortest amount of time possible so everyone sees their Aeros continually improving. We fully intend to remain the indisputable #1 looper
@DavidPackouz Talking about priorities especially when you start to have to deal with both bug fixes and enhancements, I don’t really think discourse is really the right place for bug tracking. I already opened a topic about that.
That’s, I think, one of the most requested not-dev-related topic in this forum… visibility.
Visibility on next coming features as well when this or this will be fixed. This a tough subject, but a clear visibility on releases and their content removes a lot of noise…
I am deeply sorry say that the bug is still there…
Not as immediate to reproduce but still there.
Steps to reproduce (still freeform mode):
First, record a first loop (track). No problem, this is the fix you provided in 2.17.6… no more pops there…
Now, let’s say I am not happy with the loop I just recorded. I have two options at this stage. If I erase the whole song (and come back to the initial stage of an empty song), I can re-record… no problem, it behaves like during the first record.
Now let’s say that instead of voiding the whole song, I simply undo what I just recorded and then re-record my track. From now on I get the same problem as before your fix !!!. There is a pop at each iteration of the track…
I can reproduce as many times as I want.
Of course, if I erase the whole song, it comes back to normal…
?
I can’t hear the pops anymore !
…
let me know if you see any other problems.
), and any mistake I could do on my side (i.e. renaming the wrong file or other…).
