Gotta agree, different behaviour in different modes for same function is not a good design decision.

Hey there, this is something we hope to get to soon, we’re calling the feature “Lock Tracks”. That’s one major update we are looking at doing soon.

Thanks Brennan. Looking forward.
There are a few users with the 2.15 update that reported issues with saved songs being lost, and I found today that 3 of my previously recorded 2x2 songs saved to the Aeros no longer contain audio (they were reloaded successfully in past sessions).
I am wondering if this 2.17 update deals with this issue, since I didn’t see it listed explicitly. It was a loss of several hours of work and I’m hesitant to redo them since I’m not sure the issue is fixed.
All help appreciated

This is not related to this firmware version in particular, but could please consider publishing a SHA512 of the file on the forum when you release any new version ?
Thank you in advance.
BTW this 2.17 firmware really rocks and is a game changer.
I have this same issue, but also in 6x6 mode. When loaded the songs appear to be linked to either the “blank” named song, or another incorrectly named new song, i.e. song_5 or song_6 that’s only created when trying to open my existing song, ether way all of my track info is gone. This happened on the last official release and is still happening on this firmware update. Songs are saved on the Aeros.
@Brennan,
Did you SS managed to gather a full team as planned, despite the quarantine ? Can we now expect updates more frequently?
When can we hope to see the next one (including this Lock Track hopefully)?
Is 2.17 nearly ready for release (post beta)?
got it…what happened was, I named the file 'aeros.bin" and since .bin is a file suffix, it saved it as aeros.bin.bin…
Song names now sometimes get “(1)” appended to them … presumably because the name is not unique.
Wonder how this would work with the external SD card? Not sure if the name needs to be a unique id (consider a UUID?) or if this for the user’s benefit (not a big deal either way but…)
We are currently working on building the team to span across all of our products, so everything will be getting a little better quicker. The Lock Track function will not be in this next live release. The next two big updates will be MIDI implementation and then Lock Tracks.
As to the current beta, this one has some bugs we really want to kink out before we can release it. That being said, we are so damn close guys. We can taste it almost, the sweet taste of crossing this finish line. We get the antsiness, we’re antsy too. We’ve already cut off the food and water to the dev team and turned the heater on. The whips are delayed in Amazon as backorders, more info on that soon. We are doing everything in our power to test this firmware, improve it, and make sure it’s ready for you all and for every other user.
We will have just one last beta for you guys within a week, and as long as nothing serious happens to anyone while beta testing after 2 days, we will post live.
This auto-naming bug has been seen and will hopefully be fixed by the next beta posting within a week.

Following up from my previous comment about tracks being deleted/not saved properly in the Aeros, I have the most recent 2.17 firmware installed and I am still having issues with tracks/parts being deleted after saving them in the Aeros.
Really hoping this isn’t a malfunction specific to my unit, and that this could be solved in the next firmware update.
Hey there, yes we are working diligently to make sure saving is 100% functional, the R&D team are aware of the issues and are focused on solving them.

Thanks for update, glad to hear it’s on the docket. I know you guys are working hard on these changes
I understand Beat Buddy is the genesis of Aeros and most are happy with midi, set loop lengths, & quantizing, but some of us freeform players on the long looping journey saw the Aeros glowing on the mountain top as the hopeful culmination of our compositional and performance quest. The same action triggered in different ways in different modes has clouds obscuring the glow for some, especially as after a lifetime of tapping on the beat, successfully learning to transfer that to a split second before the beat just isn’t reliably realistic. Can’t imagine you haven’t considered this, but in 2x2 is it possible to program the Next Part button with a double tap command to open the mixer, thus freeing up a single tap to trigger changing song parts on press instead of release? Thanks for your consideration!

You forgot the leg irons! All the devs should be leg ironed to their chairs, with only a bottle of gatorade, some chips, and a bedpan!

Since I bought it (last week) I think I played the game of suggesting new features etc, but I came back to reality.
Even the basic feature is malfunctioning. The crossfade feature does not work. I opened a bug describing it.
I feel pretty sad??? 
Hi Everybody,
I just changed the firmware version in the original post from 2.17.1 to 2.17.5. We hope this is the final beta version – please test this and if there are no major issues we will publish it over wifi.
@LaurentB please post if you see the same problem with this firmware version. If anyone else can replicate this issue and let us know how you did it, that would be very helpful for us to figure out how to fix it.

@DavidPackouz Downloading and installing. Won’t be able to perform tests before tomorrow morning (CET).
