Firmware - Expanding and updating / Firmware v050b Just realized that this was available.
« on: October 13, 2017, 09:06:54 PM »
I was having an issue with the Gecho locking up in the 222 (auto generated Chords and Melodies) & 314 (Chords and Melodies from Pi)... the new firmware fixed it right up! 
Then I noticed there was some static like noise and digital bleed signal in the delay line, that was not there previously... I was also wondering why the Red bars of LEDs were all lighting up when changing programs and turning the Gecho on... did some further troubleshooting with USB power and found the noise issue went away along with the lit up bar of Red LEDs...
Oh I get it! when the Batteries are LOW you get a warning the Red LEDs will light up on power up and when switching programs. That info wasn't in the manual... but it's very good to know.
Super happy with the new firmware...
In case you haven't updated yet... download the Gecho App (http://gechologic.com/gechologists/download/gecho_app_v050b.zip)... and connect your Gecho to the Windows PC via USB... look in the lower right corner and there's a place that you can click to have the app check for the latest firmware... if you click this and then follow the on screen prompts you'll end up with the most recent firmware.
I wasn't aware even that an update was available... It certainly pays off to plug everything in and check out ALL the software for the device. All my Gecho Lock Up issues are solved.
Back to the Gecho Manual...
It says that Program 341 is "Direct Monitor of the Unaltered Signal from the Microphones"...
And that Program 342 is "Direct Monitor of the Microphones with Echo"...
But since the Firmware update saves the parameters of the Echo State (among other things) the Echo is actually engaged on both Program Channels 341 and 342.
Prob'ly the same thing is happening on Channels 343 and 344 but I didn't test that yet.
Kind of silly but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
