Aeros firmware 3.0.0

[BrennanSingularSound]

Hey there, A is Left channel B is Right channel! They are split mono, not interleaved stereo files. Most DAWs have the option to group them as a stereo file!

Sorry this isn’t a functionality thing but… would it be possible to reformat the manual without the black background? I don’t know how many out there like to keep a printed manual around like me. But the black background sure wastes a lot of black printer ink for no particularly good reason other than style. Am I the only one in that boat? Thanks much!

We can consider a printer friendly version! The idea was to use it as an online format, we didn’t think people were printing it full color! Apologies to your printer.

[Rick1]

Yeah a printer version would be great! Thanks again.

• OTA firmware update was very smooth! I received my Aeros on Saturday, and had it connected to wifi and updated to 3.0 within minutes… very easy, kudos!

• Can’t wait for MIDI functionality… the thought didn’t even cross my mind that a pedal with the cool touchscreen and MIDI ports would lack very basic MIDI functionality! Until it comes, I’ll just be toying w/ the pedal… need to integrate it with a Morningstar MKII before I get serious.

  • The planned functionality looks good; hopefully it comes soon in a fast 3.1 update rather than included with a massive 4.0 update!

Don’t worry this one will be much less of a wait, we already started testing the MIDI!

Hey all, we opened up a poll on a default feature

[POLL PLEASE RESPOND!] While Stopped: Change Overdub to Solo By Default

Hi Guys, We’ve had a very passionate request from @popa in this thread to change the overdub function of the RPO button while the Aeros is stopped to a Solo button. Pressing this would restart the Aeros with just this track playing and all other track are muted. The RPO of this track would now say “Unsolo” which would unmute all other tracks when pressed – this would remove the option to overdub while this track is soloed. If in 6x6 mode and you unmute another track directly (not through ‘uns…

Definitely let us know your feelings on the need for overdubbing from stopped state.

@Rick1 here you go!

Great, thanks…

[Rick1]

David, much coolness. Thanks a lot, it’s a big help!

Now, I don’t mean to be greedy, but will you be doing this for future updates of the manual… I hope??

Thanks again man!

[LordRadish]

Haven’t done this yet, but how does the SD card work, in terms of importing content? Can I put a drum loop on the SD card and play along with it in the looper?

[DavidPackouz]

@LordRadish you can’t import files into the Aeros yet, because the Aeros songs are not just a collection of WAV files, they also include a lot of metadata about how the files relate to each other. We are working on a backing track function that we hope will be out in the next month or two.

[DavidPackouz]

@Rick1 yes, we’ll publish a printer friendly version with future updates as well - since you requested it

[Thovy64]

@DavidPackouz will you modify this type of file to open things? this allows to import playbacks or loops modified.

@Quad

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?

[Rick1]

Thanks much David, I do appreciate it!

[morselodge]

Thanks from another appreciative user.

Is there a pointer you can share to the coming set of MIDI commands?

I know there was a lot of debate on this topic a while back, but I don’t think I ever saw where things wound up.

The ability to R/P/O or clear on a footswitch-per-track basis will be a game-changer.

I’m getting message that the download failed. I am downloading to use an SD card. What is the total size of the file?

Looks like it made it 86.8mg

Hey there, it should be about 80-90MB yes. We’ve found that hitting the prompt to download the firmware is what’s causing the download error, try using the download screen directly, instead of the pop-up telling you there’s new firmware.

We will be releasing a list of the first-wave of commands once they are ready.
We will look into this, but it will bar the possibility of Hold Commands being activated by the same button.

Oh ? It reminds me something… Ah yes, exactly the reason why I requested a SHAxxx, MD5 or whatever hash type to be provided along each release to be manually downloaded… @DavidPackouz I thought you agreed on this…

[popa]

Hi, when is the next release date?
What core features are on your development plan? Priorities?
Do you intend to share a release plan?
