Re: Utility app only showing one mandala at a time

You could try disconnecting your pads and then using USBDeview to uninstall all inactive entries for your Mandalas and then rebooting to force Windows 10 to create new clean entries for each pad.

There's also the possibility that it could be related to exactly which USB ports the pads are connected ...

Re: Upon turning on V3

What powered hub are you using? Not all hubs are created equally, including individual ports on the hubs themselves. The same goes for the individual USB ports on the computer you are connecting the hub to. Try other port combinations.

One important thing to check when that happens after you fire ...

Re: Carrying Case?

That looks like it will protect the pads well for short trips. If you ever store them for an extended time in that case you can also insert the round plate sized pieces of foam that were on the surfaces of your pads when they shipped to keep your surfaces nice and flat.

Re: V3 Direct to vdrum module,- no computer!

So, there's nothing from the red light on the bottom of your V3 after about 20 seconds when you connect a USB cable to it from a 5V USB power supply? The light should stay off for about 20 seconds after you connect it and then blink red a couple times and then stay solid red.

What is the digital ...

Re: V3 Direct to vdrum module,- no computer!

To use the Mandala V3 without connecting it to a computer you would supply power to it with a standard 5V USB power supply (like the one in the link below) using a standard USB cable from that supply to the USB port on the V3. Then you would connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the V3 to whatever MIDI ...

Re: Pitch ranges

You can make Battery step from cell to cell with each hit by using the Cycle Round Robin function under the Setup tab. Then you'd just put the same sample in each cell, each with its own Tune setting so they are the pre-determined pitches you want to be cycling through as you hit the pad.

Re: Pitch ranges

If you want to separate the surface of a Mandala into any number of custom sized quantized zones from center to edge using Battery you can do it with the Cell Activation feature located under the Setup tab. You would set each cell to Trigger only when the Mandala Position Controller is between ...

Re: Upgrading Mac OS

We run Battery 4 on MacOS Sequoia (M1 Pro and M2 Pro) in the lab with no issues, and there haven't been reports of issues with any other Mandala+Battery4 combination.

Re: Utility app only showing one mandala at a time

Have you tried 'Uninstall Device' for both units in Device Manager and then reconnecting them so the built-in Win10 class-compliant USB MIDI device drivers load again? Windows 10 is notorious for not getting along with standard class-compliant USB MIDI controllers, but it can also be related to (or ...
