I am CONFUSIAN!  
My per-chain Midi settings keep reverting back to “active channel”, my Tempo settings keep defaulting to internal clock, my USB controller Midi learns keep disappearing after power cycles.  
Preset Prevew is another one of those things, that keep coming back every time i turn it off.

What kind of info is saved on what level of save-state, and how can I make sure  
(as in being-on-stage-sure) all my settings make it to the next power cycle?  
Thanks for any help on this 🙂

(zynthian v5, latest stable ORAM build)

Hi @nemoy !

Oram is the current stable versión, but it’s at EOL.  
Please, try with Vangelis. We are not fixing Oram any more because are resources and efforts are on Vangelis.

It is worth saying that you **must** do a proper software power off for any state to be persistent, not just depowering.
