I was having a play with some presets on my T3 today when I noticed an issue that’s causing me a little bit of concern.
Namely, I went to change the name on a patch I’d been working on, scrolling through the first letter was no issue, however, when I clicked the value wheel down to move on to the next letter… nothing happened
The action/sound/feedback from the Value Switch/Knob still feels like it should.. this particular T3 has never been out to a live show and I’m the first owner.. It has moved house with me once, but in theory it should be mechanically sound..
Hopefully this is a Firmware issue… I’m running version 2.0.3
If any T3 owners out there running 2.0.3 could try changing a patch name for me I’d really appreciate it.
Fingers crossed it’s just a bug with the Firmware.. I’m in Australia and I really don’t wanna have to send my baby overseas to have it looked at.
Thanks for your help guys..
In other news, I popped onto the Taurus 3 Microsite today and noticed on my profile that it had been 1 year and 20 hours this morning since I received and registered my beloved bull (number 414 and I bought it in 2012, had been sitting in the distributors shop for years, sealed in a box, guess there isn’t much demand for them over here..)
I had the same issue with a Little Phatty: could not rename patches fartehr than the first letter. I had a code: one letter per project, whatever the rest of the name was
On the Phatty, it was a minor hassle since only that and the arp were inaccessible.
On the T3, I don’t know. What I know is it may not be a software problem, unfortunately. That being said, the Moog support guys will tell you better than me.
Yeah I had a flick through the manual last night.. Gonna try out the push button on some other menus, couldn’t think of anything else I could test it on at the time.
I’ll report back on how that goes.. I suppose if it won’t work on any of the menus and no one else is having the same issue then I can safely assume that it’s a hardware fault sigh
The value switch is working in other scenarios. For instance, if I move the cursor to control cutoff in 1 step increments with the value knob, i can hold down the value knob and turn it to adjust in 10 step increments…
I’m gonna go ahead and try an find a few more situations I can use the value switch in to see if any others come up.. just hard to think of them, pouring over the manual to try as many as i can.
…so anyway, I’m guessing thats a “good” sign that it’s a firmware issue.
Any T3 owners out there on 2.0.3 who’ve had an opportunity to test this yet?
Amos?
Thanks for your help guys.
EDIT: Found another place I can test it. If i press master, go to system utilities hit cursor to move to the first option, i can then click the value push switch to scroll through the different utilities (Master Volume, Version etc..) OR turn the value knob to do the same thing.
I am about a month behind where I thought I would be right now, in terms of my work… and NAMM is coming soon (mid/late January) – so I don’t think that I will have time for T3 until after NAMM. Just being realistic. I will help as soon as I can!
Without wishing to derail Amos from doing an update to the Taurus 3 - I’d still like one please - I have tried renaming as above and can toggle through all the letters no problem.
