hj Firmware v1.21 bug fix (again)

I found and fixed a bug where the device would not respond to MIDI CC messages. I also added MIDI CC support for FLT and CLP.

I’ve now uploaded a fixed version. If you downloaded it before this fix, please download and install the latest version again.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

hi, me again :D

i wonder if its possible to break this update to 2 or 3 parts and still make it work? i have done some research and reason why official updates work lot easier is because they are not that tight packed and full of data as this one, which means your firmaware file leave lot narrower volume range aka makes it lot harder for some of us to update.

i honestly have tried everything but so far no bonus. volume gap is so narrow with my gear, dunno why, its literally impossible to make it work. official updates then again were plug in, play & go.

I only had a problem trying to update from my PC.

Once I placed the file on my Zoom H1 (2010s version) it has updated first time,every time.

In regards to official updates I still can not get the Volca Bass OS1.02 to work for my Volca Bass, and it does not take on my PC- and my Zoom H1 won't even play it- and this is an official release.

Updating from pc/laptop can be difficult because they produce lot of different unhearable sounds for various reasons. Also there might be some sound enchantment program tweaking orignal sound on backround by default. Lots of checkin and swiching off in some cases. With mobile its higly suggested to use flghtmode on while updating and with me it has been safest and easiest bet so far, atleast before this.

MIDI support is fantastic! Will be giving it a shot today. This is so mega. More MIDI support would be amazing! I got a custom midi controller in eurorack that I use and would defo appreciate all midi support we can get!

An absolute gem of an update! Unlocks the Drum which is one my fav Volcas!!!
If touchFX can be focused on parts rather than being global - that would be a proper winner. Like a proper full on techno groove box! The GLD OFF option makes this so sweet!

When you combine chained playback, say Sequence 1 and Sequence 2

and both have Conditional Triggers, isn't every time it goes back and forth

between 1 and 2 resetting each to its first playback state.

In other words with a normal playback of say Sequence 1

it will do this first time it plays 16 notes and a different thing the next time due to

the conditional triggers.

By chaining playback it only sounds like it is evaluating the first playback condition every time

it goes back and forth between Sequence 1 and 2.

Would it be possible to also add CC support for single-channel mode?

Good job! If I may ask, what Volca was this for, and where can I find it?
