Hi all,
I'm sure it's probably me doing something daft, but I can't get the recorders to work in 2.0.50. I'm setting the metronome going, choosing a pattern length, selecting an instrument and then hitting the arm button to the left of the octave buttons, but nothing is recording at all. At first I thought I'd broken something when making my user setup, but I've gone back to the Alpha Factory 1 setup and I'm having the same problem. If I load EigenD 1.4.12 then it works perfectly. Is there any difference between what I need to do on 2?

As an aside, on the recorder controls there is a button under the unplay all and cancel all buttons that seems to toggle - it's not shown in my quickstart guide. What does this button do? I thought maybe it was a global recorder arm button, but I've tried toggling it on or off, but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Mark.

I've had some problems with things acting oddly in 2.0.50. (They don't work one time, but work another... keys that should turn color when you select them, don't...) Another player has reported similar problems. They made some underlying changes in how some things are talking and connecting, so as more of us take the time to explore and report, I'm sure all will be worked out.

Hi Mark,

Can you please send us a bug report from within EigenD (File menu) after you've reproduced this problem, that might help us tracking it down.

The button you mention is the overdub button, it's present in the quick start guide that ships with EigenD since v1.3.29.

Best regards,

Geert

Hi Mark and Randy,

We might have found a problem in the Alpha and Tau factory setups that were shipped with EigenD 2.0.50 that could cause the recorders to not function appropriately. We're tracking down the cause now and it will get fixed for the next release.

Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention.

Please do send the bug report in later, it can still be useful to ensure that what we've identified corresponds to the problem that you're having.

Report just sent Geert. Let me know if it doesn't come through.

Cheers,
Mark.

Splendid. Just let me know if you need me to try anything or provide any more info.

Hi Geert,
I'm 99.9% sure that I pressed record arm when submitting my debug info (after selecting sampler 1 IIRC) and I certainly did while trying to diagnose the problem earlier. I can get it working at will with version 1 of EigenD, so I'd be surprised if it was a PICNIC error on my part. I'll do another trace this evening to be 100% sure if that'd be useful?

Thanks, Mark.

Hah, good catch Duncan! I actually made a mistake in the factory setups! :-)

I'm glad I'm off the hook! Am I right in thinking that for now I should be able to use the two record buttons the opposite way round and it should work?
