Having recently sorted out (decorated/renovated) my music room I’ve been getting all my synths back out and setting my play area to it’s optimum
So I thought I’d sit down and learn the interface of the Shruthi again and as part of that thought I’d upgrade to the latest version. Well I went to 1.01 (uploaded using the C6 utility) and whilst fiddling with the settings I ended up in a programming section where everything was just spinning through the values like nuts. It would appear (as I fiddled) that I set global portemento on and to cut a long story short, I couldn’t switch it off in the mad menu.
So I thought I’d drop down to 0.98 but after that I can’t boot my little pal any more. Going back to 0.97 (my previous version) or back to 1.01 doesn’t work for me either. What I get is either led 1 lit, or all leds but the last or no leds or all leds completely or … well - seems pretty random actually :).
I can still get to the firmware update screen holding down the 6th switch but whatever firmware I load doesn’t seem happy now.
I had tried to go back to 1.01 but it had failed. I hadn’t set the 250ms delay though which I’ve now done, tried uploading back to 1.01 but same issue. Won’t boot, random number of lights when I start (usually the first one).
I’ve been uploading with the Midi file. If I upload with the Sysex file I get the lights counting up as the upload occurs which I don’t get with the MIDI file. AND IT’S BACK
I tried the Sysex last night but without the delay. I’ve just uploaded 0.98 (it’s the one I had to hand). Will try again with 1.01 tonight when I get back from work. But we’re back in business.
