Aeros firmware 2.15.x

Does SD card support include export and import?

[Back after playing with the update and can answer my own question.]

Export works, but import might have some minor bugs:

  • If you copy an exported song, it shows up in the song list, but opening, opens the original song you copied from.
    • Editing .meta file that has the name of the song in it, crashed upon first open. Upon reboot, it loads, but is blank (including the title. I know I’m pushing it. Would be nice to avoid the whole dependence on some Aeros Manager program to edit this metadata and manage songs externally. Used emacs which should not have messed with the file format. Would CSV or YAML be possible?
  • Also noticed that if you eject and reinsert the sdcard, the songs on the sd card no longer show up near the top of the list as recently used. This is a more valid bug than the one above.

The Aeros is definitely more polished, and the sync to loop is very nice. Definitely lets me focus on the music and not worry so much about button timing.

  • In quantized mode, can we get a numerical count down to the start of the loop after queing a record/stop/change part? Display 3, 2, 1 measures to go, perhaps count down beats in final measure? Sort of the opposite of the measure count up when recording.
  • Also need a way to cancel the queued stop of a song. That is, when you click stop on song that is loop synced, pressing stop again (before the start of the loop) should let the Aeros behave as if you never clicked stop. (Bonus points for making the flashing red and green elements a bit less intense.)

This update is looking very good…
