  • freezes crash since oled retro fit

    I'm also experiencing a LOT of crashes using the OLED retrofit and 4.1.3. I bought my unit used and immediately sent it to be retrofit so I have no experience with it prior to this and no way to compare before and after.

    What I've been doing so far is building out some folders for my synths and kits. I've downloaded some, and the previous owner sent it on with some. The use case that is causing the crashes most frequently is quite straightforward: navigating the folders and loading new patches.

    Specifically I:

    • Turn on the unit, and usually am taken to the first folder and patch that's available: arps/038 vapor arp.
    • I hit load+synth to start navigating the folder structure
    • I select a folder and load to go into that folder
    • I hit the piano button to get the iso keyboard
    • I listen to patches, play around, and then scroll through the patches and select the next one
    • Inevitably I eventually get the loading screen and the machine locks up.

    I used to code so I started thinking like a program and attempted the following fixes before reaching out:

    • Deleted all the .asd files in my sample directories - some of my samples came from ableton and I figured maybe their analysis files were the problem
    • I denested my folder structure as much as I could, figuring the sample library file locations were getting too deep or the synth xml files were getting too large because of the length of the individual references
    • I used deluge commander to make sure the synths and kits were connected to the underlyign samples properly

    So far, no luck.

    As a total noob to the Deluge, are their basic dos and dont's for organizing the folders and files on my SD card? Are there good and bad SD cards? What are some other troubleshooting basics I can look at? And then, of course, I've seen some mention of new stability problems with the retrofits. Is this common?

    One last point, I have largely seen these issues on battery but ALSO have had them occur plugged in.

    Thanks!
