Oram-2409.3 Stable Point Release

Well, this has been fun! There are quite a few reports so I need to review who has said what. Here is a list of reporters and the state I believe them to be. Please confirm / answer any questions below.

@Aethermind - All issues resolved.

@Lumm - All issues resolved.

@SteveFlesh - Were you able to update to 2409.4? Did this fix all your issues?

@BertB - Did 2409.4 fix the persistent update-available issue?

@Lanfranco - There are many names we could use. @jofemodo decides!

@LagoonCity - I am not experiencing issue with Fluidsynth controllers. It may relate to your soundfonts. Please raise a ticket in the issue tracker.

@LFO - Have you updated to 2409.4? Has this resolved your issues?

@marco - Have you updated to 2409.4? Has this resolved your issues?

@piattica - I confirm that stops are not being set on Aeolus. I will investigate.

@cfausto - This may be a similar issue to @piattica reported for Aeolus. I will investigate.

@Nicolaz - Osirus and OsTirus are not fully working in stable (oram). Work continues in testing (vangelis) branch.

@tunagenes -Thanks for your help.

In summary: There seems to be an issue with parameter controllers for some engines. Other issues should be resolved.

Confirm: all issues resolved with 2409.4, both in official 5.1 kit and custom Pi5.

Thanks!

Well done @riban an exemplary bit of work!

The Aeolus (and probably other engines’ parameter control) issue is reported in ticket 1306. I have identified the commit that broke it and we will get a hotfix patch out soon.

There could be another problem… I tried to record some music in real time but it didn’t work, both in midi and audio reording. I mean that i don’t have any capture as a result.

I used zynthian audio recorder to record a sequenced chain and it created the expected audio file.

Please update stable to fix Aeolus (and some other engines). I have rolled back some changes so there may be less functionality than yesterday but the important thing is that the engines are working again.

Yep, parameters working correctly now. Thanks! Still not able to record anything.

Yes, I confirm that the rollback fixed the MDA piano engines malfunction reported in V2 and V5.1 kits.
Thx a lot @riban

Hi @riban and zynthianers, I just like to add that I successfully updated from the first stable Oram release to the latest stable version 2409.4 with my V5.1 kit. There were two rounds of updates to get to the latest stable version. Everything is working well so far, including the small NVME SSD I added before the update. Thanks to all the zynthian developers.

Can confirm this fixed the parameters in Fluidsynth.
EDIT: the filter/envelope page parameters are still set to 64 and changing them doesn’t affect the sound, tested with some of the soundfonts included in the OS image. Other pages work normally. I’ll file a bug report later today unless I hear otherwise here. I pretty much never use soundfonts so I might be missing something obvious.

Unfortunately, doing the update also replicated another issue I noticed yesterday but wasn’t going to mention until I had replicated it:

Since at least the pre-rollback 2409.4 update yesterday (possibly the 2409.3 update as well, but I reflashed my SD card for that one so I don’t know), the list of enabled processors is reset to the defaults after an update. I don’t believe this happened with previous updates, although I’ve only had the Zynthian for about a month and only ran the updater a couple times early on, so it’s possible I hadn’t enabled or disabled anything yet at that point (but I think I had).

Example: after I flashed 2409.3, Osirus and OsTIrus were disabled in the MIDI Instrument/Synth list by default so I enabled them (along with a few others) and disabled a few that I don’t use. After updating to 2409.4 yesterday, all of these changes had been reverted. I enabled Osirus, OsTIrus again. After updating again today, Osirus and OsTIrus were disabled.

I can do a full bug report but wanted to run it by the thread first since I’m not entirely sure when it started happening.

Please do add a bug report to the issue tracker. I think we need to draw a line under this point release and gather issues to be resolved in the round.

I confirm too, all issues are resolved. Many thanks!

Can you provide some details please? Are you following the steps in:
https://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php/Zynthian_UI_User_Guide_-_V1/V4#Audio_Recording_and_Playback
Does the red circle appear and disappear as described?

I can’t see any “Start Audio Recording” and “Stop Audio Recording” option. Pushing the record button it seems it starts recording as i see the red circle but in the end nothing is recorded.
In the Midi Recorder window i habe the “Start midi recording” option and it seems to work, but again it won’t record anything.

MIDI recordings are only made if there is some MIDI received during the recording. So if you start MIDI recording then stop it again before sending MIDI to the zynthian, there will be no resulting SMF.

Audio recording should be recorded whilst the red circle displays. How are you checking for audio recordings?

Do you have a memory stick plugged in?
Audio recordings go there, if it’s available, and I might mention they ain’t easy to find by any of our preferred routes if they have.

Yes, of course i play something on my keyboard controller while trying to record. I can ear the sound and i see the meter moving in the Mixer window.

@wyleu Tried with a memory stick. No results.

I specify that i turned from Vangelis to Stable with the last update. I couldn’t record in Vangelis, of course, just like in Stable.

Aeolus now works, thanks

This seems to be something specific to your workflow. Audio and MIDI recording has been working fine in stable, staging and testing without anyone reporting any issues. Will you please describe each step you take to make a recording and check whether it has suceeded?
