Hey @erv ! I'm looking at the CFX Manual reading about the capabilities of the Accent LED Pads.
"Special Accent LEDs #2 and #5 to #8
...which suggest to me that Accent Pads 6, and 7 are NOT PWM capable.
#5 to #8 indicates a range, hence 5, 6, 7 and 8. All pads are now individualized, they just don't all have PWM capabilities.
For a Tri-Cree, would it be possible to piggyback Crystal Chamber LEDs (0804's, or a 3mm/5mm RGB) off of the main LED pads?
yes, you can still do this, wire them in parallel with the HB leds, with appropriate resistors. However, I'd rather suggest to use the PWM pads of each channels, which could also be less work
regarding the cool down emitter, I have to see how make that configurable in the accent sequencer. The coding of the effect per say is trivial (just a ramp), but I'd rather have it blended in config with the sequencer rather than proposing it as a "patch"
When you say items are fixed, are you just updating the code in the default package posted on the plecter site or is there a new firmware posted somewhere?
fixed in the fw I'm working on, soon to be delivered.
I'm having trouble using RICE with the new CFX module. Windows 10 always detects it as a USB device (not a usable one, but still a USB device) and only wants to install drivers of that type. I can't figure out how to install as a COM device so that RICE can detect the board. The section in the manual said Windows 10 should have all the necessary drivers. Is there an intermediary step I'm missing? Thanks for any assistance! The board is beyond awesome but I'm wearing out the SD card springs every time I remove it and reinsert after playing with blade styles.
make sure you use a full USB cable, not a charging one. Check in the system => device list how your USB peripheral is detected and what is missing. Eventually install the adafruit drivers as suggested in the manual (as a fix for windows 7 users). Aside of this, I don't know, win 10 should indeed recognize the board COM port.
I got two more problems.
After I turn the menu volume down in the General tab on RICE, once I go to the soundfont selection menu, the menu volume goes back up. I notice that when I go to the soundfont selection menu while connected with the USB, the board disconnects with my computer; so maybe it has something to do with that.
There is a specific setting for the vocal menu volume. beep parameter also separately controls the UI sounds.
When you go in the vocal menu, the board reboots, and USB disconnects (that is normal)
