[Aaron]

Please check out the new build here.

Let us know what you think below.

Super grateful for the program change implementation. And the shortcut screen is very useful. I've yet to try more than those atm.

Now the only thing missing from the Fireball is portamento/legato. After that it wouldn't need more firmware updates IMO

Thank you for implementation of preview of presets and wavetables, this is so helpful! The synth is a lot easier to program with the wavetable preview now! This is a game changer feature for sound design.
I have not tested the midi change yet, but that's a great addition.

I'm still seeing the previously reported issue with the sustain pedal, I recorded an example of the issue and uploaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MNO...3Kwjs02pXUz9NO you can see in the recording, that I play a melody first with no sustain pedal, then I turn on the sustain pedal, and when I take it off again, the note keeps playing indefinitely until I play a chord with 8 voices at the end.

Midi controller used on the record was a M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro and sustain pedal was On-Stage KSP100 Sustain Pedal.

I’m a bit disappointed to see the Lemondrop has filter per oscillator implementation (which was a request I’d asked for a long time ago for the FB) but not included on the fireball.

Is it only me who suffers from a lot of hanging notes? Only thing stopping it is holding down the layer button. It is the only device in my setup suffering from this. All devices are connected in the same way.

I like this 1.2 version, but why no manual for 1.2?
Especially concerning the sampling function, I sampled a couple sounds, but it does not load anything.
How does this work? Does FB make it’s own wavetable from this sample?
It would be also awesome if in the future you could load samples as wav file into a slot
just like in the Korg Modwave.

Sound is awesome from this device, but the Razzmatazz stands out, currently my favorite.
Any plans for a Nanobox 6 operator FM synth? Yes please!

[Lucas]

FB can sample but those samples can't be used as wavetables.

[kaikaiawaro]

Fireball can sample, but you can’t use it as a wavetable?! What’s the use for then?

Yes I've been getting this making the thing unusable, just updated to the latest beta firmware and it's still doing the same thing - I thought it was something Todo with the Tracker I'm using it with but it doesn't seem to happen on factory presets, just the ones I've spent hours making

[Lucas]

Can you both share more about your setups? What's in your MIDI input, are there any other devices in the chain? Anything you notice before you get hanging notes?

Hi Lucas, I'm using the Polend Tracker midi out going only to the Fireball, I sometimes (but not always) seem to be able to play a few chords then it just hangs continuously. I've tried adding stop signals from the tracker but it made no difference either.

It wasn't doing this a few months ago (like 8 months ago) but it just randomly started on my presets. It doesn't seem to happen on all of my presets when looking at them, but most of them - I thought maybe it's something to do with tempo synced elements but even the one I can find that doesn't hang has some tempo synced modulation.

I also tried using an earlier firmware on the tracker but it didn't make any difference either.

I've used your contact form for further support.

Following since I have issues with hanging notes. Only on the Fireball where eveything is set up in the same way. Pressing stop doesn't help, only panic button stops the fireball. Very annoying..

[kaikaiawaro]

Manual 1.2 and explanation for sampling; what’s the purpose of it?

[Lucas]

You can sample what you're doing and have a .wav file to use in your DAW. It also make for a handy field recorder if you have a powered mic with 1/8" like some of the IK mics or Blue mics.

I had to go back to older OS - this one I have wavetables that were showing up before and working.. with this OS it stays blank no waveform

[Lucas]

Which firmware (exact number) are you running? Wavetables still preview on 1.2.5
You may have an sd card issue, in which case you might try a card rebuild.

Lucas, I went back to OS 1.1.2 which was what I had before, all working fine before I updated. I backed it up before I updated with the new one.. can’t be sd card since after I went back to the old ver. Everything went back to normal working proper. Please advice. The wave tables original to the device did show up displayed on the latest os just my personal wave tables were the issue.. perhaps you can test with your own not the factory ones. I can see the name but all it states is loading and stays like that.. nothing displaying the added wavetable like it should.

[Steve]

Make sure your own wavetables are the proper format.

[DeyanFont]

They work all fine on the older OS unless something changed when you guys updated the OS. If I update they don’t work and when I go back to older they work again just fine.. obviously not the sd card, nor the wavetables imo
