Problem with loading patches from the SD-card


#1

Hi!

I'm trying to load a patch from the sd-card using the patch/load object and a button but the axoloti disconnects when I trigger it.

I get the following message:

Control transfer failed: -9
Ping: WaitSync Timeout, disconnecting now
Disconnect request

What am I doing wrong?

The file I'm trying to load is on the card (I've checked the file manager) and the filename and extension is also correct. My board is v1.0 with firmware 1.0.0.1, build 1.0.7 and I'm using win 10.


#2

try updating to 1.0.8 (most recent test) or downgrade to 1.0.6, the last official release

if that doesn't work, post again, but doing a clean install of either the most recent test or 1.0.6 should take care of a lot of weirdness


#3

Thanks!

I tried to both upgrading and downgrading, but now the software won't start at all. Is there a way to completely remove all the software and drivers to get a super clean reinstall?


#4

on Windows, go to Add/Remove programs and remove Axoloti. get rid of the runtime folders and, if you want to be extra safe, search for any remaining axoloti.pref files and get rid of them


#5

There is no need to manipulate drivers. Also runtime is completely unchanged since several releases, no need to reinstall that part.
Key is removing my documents\axoloti. Remove it if there's nothing in there that you want to preserve, otherwise move/rename that folder.

Thanks, that solved it so now it's running again!

Now I've tried loading patches from the SD-card using versions 1.0.8, 1.0.6 and 1.0.4, but the problem still remains (same message). The SD-card should be fine, I have no problem playing wave files from it.

Is there anything else I can try?


#7

Just guessing: are you copying .axp files to sdcard somehow?
Axoloti can't run .axp files directly, only .bin files. Those .bin files are created and written to sdcard via the Patch->Upload to sdcard menu.


#8

Oh, I see... Well, that really solved the mystery, everything works fine now!

Yes I had just copied the .axp file on to the card without using the upload function.

Thanks again!
