Aeros Firmware 4.2.x

[CMA]

Just to say thanks very much for this 4.2 Beta for playing with. I have and can see it has much to enjoy, mainly the fades in my case, something I enjoyed and used all the time on my RC - 500, though individual track fades on the Aeros takes it into a whole different league. Well done!

I have now re-installed 4.15 due to the stereo issue that you already know about. I simply need stereo. It’s essential to how I play and record. So, having tried, I’ll now happily wait for a fix, which I already know is on the way as I write. Happy days!

Other feedback is that I value being able to fade each track (6x) greatly, and can see how this will be made good use of in future compositions as a creative tool in its own right. Very excited about this.

Language options…this is a great addition for those who need it and I am sure is much appreciated. I am English so it makes no difference to me other than making me happy that you care about international users who do need support for their own language. You have my respect for that consideration. I will only add that the nice looking flag is actually quite redundant and pointless, serving no useful purpose whatsoever, as the language itself is the only indicator needed and self-evident independently, on its own, what the language actually is. “Oh look, his Aeros is in Japanese. It’s showing a flag…wowness!” just doesn’t arise. Sorry, just my eggs, that it is wasted space that could be used for other more important reasons, such as the kettle has just boiled, or incoming angry neighbour, etc. ha ha

So much for my minor feedback. You guys are doing an awesome job and constantly validate my choice in purchasing your whole three device system. It’s everything I need.

Incidentally, digressing slightly, I just started using the Maestro’s Aeros Mode last night and couldn’t believe how brilliant it is. I’m astonished at how much easier it is to do what I want with complete control over every track and part as I play. Friggin awesome! I leapt out of bed this morning to pick up where I left off last night and it wasn’t a dream after all.

Thank you so much to all at Singular Sound. I’m in!

PS: I forgot to mention that the fade in seems much too slow, quite extended actually, though that duration is still useful sometimes, just not mostly for me. I like to use soft fade in a lot but mainly of fairly short duration. And, conversely, I found the fade out much too abrupt, the exact opposite of how I like to use it, fairly slow and gradual. If you added time selectors for either end, that would blow me away! Thanks in advance.

PPS: Also forgot to say that I love the fade animations! Very cool.

This, definitely!

@LordRadish

By “stop” I meant mute.

@LordRadish

Does this essentially mean that if I mute a track, it will fade, and if a track is muted when I start, and I unmute it, it will fade in instead of starting abruptly? If that’s the case, just forget about what I wrote, because that’s what I wanted.

Exactly! It will do this according to mute settings (End of Loop, End of Measure, Immediate/no fade)

@LordRadish

Also, only asking because I haven’t tried, but does the Aeros save a song with the muted states?

Yep! Mute states are saved

@LordRadish

, I guess the one midi command that would be useful would be the ability to override the fade on the selected track. One might have one or two tracks that aren’t seamless and want them to come in right away.

This will be possible eventually, it is in our plans! We will have more MIDI expansions in the future, this behavior is expected to be done then likely

Thanks for the questions!

@NYHC

Could be fine to have a fade time like the Pigtronix infinity from 0 to 9 sec

@JusDandy

It would be nice to preset a designated fade length as it goes very fast on a one bar loop

This is already officially requested, please forward any further thoughts or expectations here!

Would a 0-9s fade time work? Does it have to be split for in and out?

[CMA]

Yes, 0-9 fade time would work great but should also ideally be spilt so that in and out are independently adjustable. That would be amazing, and thanks for asking.

Hello all,

can you tell us when the firmware 4.2.0 is officially available for download?

[NYHC]

Firmware update information

The Aeros is constantly in progress and we cannot speed updates beyond the time they need to be made, tested, and released. The last beta (4.2.0) was a work in progress and only for the purpose of getting feedback on the new features included specifically, this was released before the holiday break and that is related to why we were slower than expected. We fixed all relevant reported bugs at this point along with other bugs reported in the time that 4.2.x has been in progress. We are hoping t…

Version 4.2.4 has been uploaded in the original post.

[NYHC]

GREAT NEWS
Thank you very much !

[JusDandy]

I can’t seem to find the original post. Could you please provide a link? Thanks

[NYHC]

Scroll up this page at the begin

[GrafOrlok]

Great!! I just tried it and I have stereo and fade. Thank you very much!!

[BrennanSingularSound]

Hey there, the original post is at the top of this thread!

The post was edited to house the new v4.2.4, v4.2.0 is no longer available on this thread

@DavidPackouz

(April 11, 2022): Version 4.2.4 has been posted

Awesome!

[NYHC]

I play around 3 hours
No bugs
All works as expected
No cut/lags between the loops
Reverse work fine
Next track work fine , but not in 2X2 (could be fine to switch between the track and use the reverse)
Fade works good but to short (need time option like the Pigtronix 0 to 9 sec)
No crashes with the Maestro, all the commands works fine
French translation on the screen is pretty good
French translation of the manual is pretty good (I don’t read all )

We had to wait a long time, but the result is conclusive and that’s the main thing. I would say on the way for the following !

Good job guy’s !

@BrennanSingularSound
Would it be possible to create a midi command to activate/de-activate the fade out feature? I love that it’s finally here but since some songs require a fade and others don’t, it is cumbersome in between songs to bend down, go to the home page, scroll down to that command and change the settings.

Because it is a global setting, rather than song specific I ask this question and make this request.

Thanks

[LordRadish]

+1 on this!

[LordRadish]

Works good, so far. Nice job, folks.

Should allow for longer fade times, and having fades be a global instead of song-based is a bit of a pain in the ass, and requires a lot more menu diving. In the context of a live performance, that’s definitely not cool.

[NYHC]

The fade time depend what you decide
You can make it long or short or middle
The fade have the same length as your track
ex:
All your tracks are in 4 measures = the fade gonna take the the 4 measure to fade out if you press the stop just after the begin of your loop
Let we suppose that your loop take 8 seconds, if you trigger the stop just AFTER the begin of your loop
the fade gonna take 8 seconds (it’s a lot)
If you want it shorter than trigger the stop in the middle of your loop (Measure 2) the fade gonna take 4 seconds
Now the trick is that you have just ONE TRACK with 8 measures. In this case the fade out take the time of the longest loop that mean 16 seconds if you press after the begin of the loop with 8 measures (that’s long)
It’s just another way to work, just a little bit practice
Now it depend of the speed of your song too
But If you make just one track longer the fade out take this lenght to fade out

Now I understand that the global setting can be painful
It’s a bit of a management

But I know that Singular Sound do the best they can to satisfy the users
