Memory Palace V19 Firmware Release March 2020

DISREGARD, Discussed on FB and still functions, just a UI glitch

Found a weird bug.
In Paint mode, Chromakey

Have softness set to CV ±1v
I send a negative voltage & the slider value gets stuck @ 0 in parameter view. It shows the CV coming in (a range of - values moving about) & shows the slider % changing but not the VALUE…it’s stuck @ 0. Modulation stops doing anything & so does sliding the slider (in terms of to the actual picture).
Switching to Luma & Back to Chroma unzoinks it but the second I send another neg voltage it’s fuct again.

Works perfectly fine in Luma mode - functions exactly as expected. The second I switch to Chroma mode w/ that neg modulation source to softness it’s bork’d. Removing the modulation source it’s still stuck.

Does anyone know what this glitch with the Memory Palace is? When I am trying to create something smooth and relaxing, this glitch kinda ruins it. It will be running smooth and then gets jerky.

This is a known issue with V19 that will be corrected in V20 (coming soon!). Sorry for the trouble.

Good to hear! Thanks for the fast response!

I’ve never able to get anything going through the alpha or aux inputs on my MP. Does anyone have any tips? Generally working in Warp mode, and nothing I patch into those inputs seems to do anything. :-/

How these inputs work is conditional on the settings you have in the main menu page.

When the key mode is set to alpha it allows you to use an external key instead of luma or chroma keys.

The rest is in the Aux Mode, which controls alpha opacity, vertex mesh, or vertex spatial resolution. Patch some oscillators or ramps into aux and alpha and play around with those latter two modes, you’ll have a blast! Make sure to use the Aux slider.

when using the mesh stuff do yourself a favor and put some kind attenuation before the alpha input

I find it is so nice to use the AUX input and have control over the amount of the signal going to the effect

I use the bored brain splix so as to not tie up anything extra in the rack
koma cable these work too but I find the bored brain generally works better over more of the range of the slider

I’d be really interested in a firmware setting or hardware modification that would allow this. I can live with it but it would be nice to not have turbine sounds. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m probably just not very good at searching - but where does it say what features are new in V19? Can’t seem to find that info anywhere.

The Memory Palace User Guide has a description of the current (V19) features.

Cool, thanks! :slight_smile: Do you have any more MP tutorial videos in the pipeline, by any chance? :slight_smile:

Yes, there will be a full module walk-through when V20 is released.

Woho, awesome! Thanks again. :slight_smile:

I noticed the option for 5V scaling on the VC inputs seems to be gone on the latest firmware (I only see 0 to 1 and -1 to 1). Or am I missing it somewhere?

Also thank you @Genlok and @wednesdayayay for the alpha input tips! Finally wrapping my head around that action. Appreciate the help :pray:
