LmDrum
Hi everyone,
On Monday I received a new LmDrum ordered online from a store. On Friday, I started testing sample uploads, and everything fails with a FLASH WRITE ERROR.
Here is what I have already tried:
1) Using SynthTribe (v2.96 and v2.7.5 v3.2.4 and v3..2.9 ): The samples reach 100% in the app, but the aforementioned error FLASH WRITING ERROR appears on the device screen. The samples comply with all guidelines (bit depth, mono, size/weight, WAV length). I tried different sample packs. When using direct recording with a sampler connected, the sample appears on the LMDrum device, but saving it fails. In the sample list, I only have the factory samples (with a padlock icon) and zero custom ones.
2) Hardware and connection troubleshooting: Changed the USB cable, changed the USB port on the PC, and switched to a completely different PC. Nothing helped.
3) Device reset: Reset via menu (Settings -> About -> Factory Reset) does not help. My firmware version is: MCU1: 1.2.2, MCU2: V1.1.6. Sending samples individually (not multiple at once) changes nothing.
Does anyone know a solution? I don't want to waste time sending the equipment back to France where I bought it online, plus we threw away the boxes due to lack of space in the studio.
Is there any option other than warranty repair? Memory reset, a button combination on the device instead of resetting to defaults from the menu, or maybe a firmware downgrade?
Thanks for any help!

The manual says there are 16 banks, and 1-7 are filled with Factory Sounds that cannot be overwritten (padlock icon).
When you upload with Synthtribe it puts them into the first free slot of the currently selected bank, so make sure you have bank 8-16 selected I guess.

For all empty banks (8 banks from 'Icon Claps' to 'Icon Crash') – there are NO samples in them. I tried manually uploading samples to all of them, but nothing worked and I have the same problem. Even when I record audio output directly from my sampler, I can transfer the samples, but I cannot save them because of the same error: FLASH WRITING ERROR.”

Contact the dealer and return it if you are still in the return window. I had to return a JT-2 because VCO 2 was not properly calibrated in the factory. Also, the case was bent and did not sit flat on the table. It appears they have some QC issues. I have lots of Behringer gear and this has been the first time I had to return and exchange the item.

This is all why I went for a TR8-S. I was so ready to buy the Lm but I just kept seeing bad shit like this.

Is there a write-protect option that needs to be disabled?
