Hello , I'm getting what seems like a bug when changing from Scene 1 to Scene 2 . The first pattern (Scene 2) has either parts missing or additional parts from the last sequence of Scene 1. I've Hard reset BSP and reinstalled the firmware but it's still happening Just wondered if anyone else has had this happen to them or if anyone would like to see if its a bug or not? I've programmed 13 parts(all 4 measures each) for Scene 1 and 15 for Scene 2. When i get to the end of Scene 1 I go to Control and press Scene 2 it flashes then goes to Scene 2 at the end of the bar .but as i said throws a wonky one (all still in time) any ideas? :)

Hi, colinrobot,
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution, but I'm experiencing something very similar, so I wonder if the issues are related. I am also experiencing pattern "bleed" when playing patterns in a chain. Here are my steps to reproduce using the Drum sequencer (pattern numbers are arbitrary--I just so happened to be using these numbers the latest time the issue occured):
1. BSP upgraded to v2.0.0.2 firmware
2. Create 4 measure pattern on Drum 2
*NOTE: I sequenced no steps on the bottom right pad (C 1/32)
3. Create different 4 measure pattern on Drum 3
*NOTE: for pattern 3, I DID sequence every step on the bottom right pad (C 1/32)
4. Create a Scene that chains 2 and 3 together
5. Play the Scene
Expected Result
Pattern 2 plays normally, followed by Pattern 3 playing normally, repeat endlessly/happily
Actual Result
Pattern 2 plays normally, followed by Pattern 3 playing normally, but when Pattern 2 plays again, the last 3 measures of Pattern 2 are permanently replaced by the last 3 (or maybe just last 1) measure of Pattern 3. The Scene continues alternating between 2 and 3, as expected, but Pattern 2 is forever altered.
I haven't found any solutions to this; again, it seems to be the same (or at least incredibly similar) issue colinrobot is experiencing.

Hi all,

Can you tell me if this FW gives you the same behaviour?

Hello, I'm out of town for another day--I'll try to test the firmware tomorrow and report back. Thanks!

Hello, I grec,
Here's what I tested this morning:
1. Firmware remained at v2.0.0.2
2. I recreated the patterns following the steps I posted last month
3. I could not reproduce the bug :(
Then, I upgraded to the firmware you provided and the same issue occurred but with a slight difference: instead of Pattern 2 having overwritten measures, it was Pattern 3 that had the last 3 of its 4 measures overwritten by the first measure of Pattern 2.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi jhischier,
Can you try a reset factory? Be sure to save your patterns before, as everything will be lost.

Y.

Hello, I will attempt that tonight or tomorrow and let you know the results. Thanks!
-
Hi, after the factory reset and following the steps-to-reproduce, I am not seeing the issue. I'll post again if the issue recurs. Thanks for your help!
-
Hello Jhischier and I grec , sorry for not being able to come back here for some time. Did the installing the FW after a factory reset solve the problem? Thanks Colin
ps Should i use the above FW?
-
Hi colinrobot,
Yes you should try the firmware available in the link. I have updated the file to a newer version today.
ps: It is unofficial and non-fully-tested firmware. Use it at your own risks. Once it will be tested, it will be available on Arturia's website.
-
Hi, OK if there are any problems will hardreset solve it or will it brick my BSP? Thanks again for your help!!
-
Hard reset will put your device as from out of factory (default settings, empty projects). Be sure to backup your projects before.
It should resolve your issues.

Hello, I grec Just to say I've just used the Firmware update I D/L the last MSG and it seems to have cleared the problem (unless you have updated it since?)
I know this is a little off topic but will there be any way of chaining the scenes in future updates?
Thanks for all your help with the problem Regards Colin ;D

Hello again , well it has not worked just moved and adding instead of taking away parts. Also not slaving very well its been just not starting and i have to reboot to get it to start. :(

Hi colinrobot,

I don't think so.
I did not understand your last post well. Are you saying it is not working?

I thought it had cleared the problem but the other night I had 3 scenes made up of approx 12-14 patterns in each . The first one came to the last bar and i pressed the second scene which started and plaid fine then when it got to the last bar i pressed the third scene which started but had several parts of the last pattern of scene two incorporated in it. It also had removed parts of the actual pattern i had used in the scene. Should i reset BSP again or upload the firmware then reset it?
I need to be able to use a few scenes together without problems so the band can follow the drums which need to be 3-5min songs which can only be done if the scenes play correctly after each other or i might as well just use Ableton. I'm using Drumbrute as a sound module and BSP for the sequencing .Thanks again Colin ( would it be easier to export it all and send it you for you to see the problem?)
-
OK well last night i tried to rearrange the patterns and found that if the last pattern of the scene is the same as the first pattern of the second scene there is no problem.The problem only arises when the end and beginning are different patterns. This also now works with a third scene too. So i can now have three scenes one after another as long as the have the same crossover pattern!! This is the best workaround there is as I tried with different ends and beginnings and all i get is messed up patterns. A lot of hassle really for a simple change over. Regards Colin
-
I am having this exact issue! Switching scenes causes drum patterns to be carried over into the 2nd, 3rd, 4th bar. Not pleased.
Anyone else experience this? I was going to try the FW linked in this post but it sounds like it doesnt resolve the issue. I really hope this gets a fix.

I'm experiencing something similar as far as switching scenes and the drum sequencer. In my case, the drum sequencer just drops out after the first bar of a multi bar pattern when I switch scenes.
I have a video of the behavior in this thread:
