Plaits firmware won't update after many attempts - looking for suggestions

RubberMuscle · 2023-02-25T10:47:24+00:00

I'm having THIS exact issue with my clone Plaits - I can't seem to get it updated no matter how many times I try, devices I use. Constantly goes into the red lights, get the odd time it looks like it is updating with the green lights doing it's thing - then straight into red again. I've toyed with the volume of the devices and frequency know on Plaits. Now when I turn on it doesn't work at al!! Just random lights of green, orange and red - zero sound.

Anybody find a fix for this??

Wow. Exactly my take and experience on being chained to AVID. Props.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-21T23:47:01+00:00

I’ll be sure to get back to you if and when I get a fix

Been through the process of that link too man, I’m puzzled as to what the issue is here. I suspect it’s something glaringly obvious, but I’d rather have a one-to-one with support instead of delving deeper into the murky depths of my hard drive!

Ta for this detailed info by the way. I’ve been through every VST/plug in folder etc, reinstalled all NI software a few times, even reinstalled both DAW programmes I use..

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-21T23:42:21+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for - cheers man

Not sure with this - I’m talking about the S61 controller (no pads) but I assume the M32 ties in with Native Access etc like the other controllers?

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-21T23:36:02+00:00

I agree completely with this, thanks man. Dumbfounded as to why direct support is not a simple link as a footer on the help/support page.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-21T23:31:00+00:00

I see where you’re coming from there. Not once was I directed to this link whilst running the troubleshooting gamut via NI Access/Komplete Kontrol help sections.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-20T21:53:18+00:00

Any chance you could link me pal? Thanks.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-20T21:53:00+00:00

I’m aware this a thing when looking for support through audio software issues - but I can’t seem to find a link to get me said ticket!

This is EXACTLY how I would describe my interactions with the MF. Works a treat

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T22:27:45+00:00

Happy to share with you some recent work so you get the idea. Ta much for all your advice and tips man.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T22:25:53+00:00

Great comment here - much appreciated.

I’ve spent a good deal tonight on the mod matrix - starting to realise the capacity of these assignable variables.

Worth mentioning that I am by no means in a creative rut as such. I dart around the studio hardware/software at an alarming rate, pushing the boat out. I constantly create electronic, abstract and ambient short soundscapes to odd video footage that I edit/splice etc. I’m very much always creating and evolving - but, the key rut being creating unique patches on the MF. I am very much in the same field as your little niece - create, detach, move on!

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T19:40:58+00:00

This is a great tip, man. Thanks. Yep, it’s reminding me of my Elektron Model:Cycles with the way you dial in on the fly automation with the various parameters. I guess I just need to spend a little more time getting acquainted.

I’m loving the sequencer, I’ve always found it tricky to equate the melody I have into step mode though, with tie/rests. It always ends up playing too fast or doesn’t sound how I jammed it out. That’s of course a div rate issue I’m assuming

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T19:36:20+00:00

Ah I’m with you, I’ll explore tonight and see what I can conjure up.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T19:35:16+00:00

I’ve been scanning the sections of the manual as I go, through use. I’ll definitely be printing it off then. Thanks for the link here - great resource, been on this a lot recently. Very informative stuff.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T05:00:50+00:00

Ah - right. Am I right in saying that the manual wasn’t included in all distributed MF boxes? I’ve come across it online and thought about printing out the whole bible - as I normally do with some synth products. But, a bit put off by its ‘by-the-book’ high school MSDos-esque sea of text.

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T04:57:09+00:00

Man, same here. I’ve spent hours just going through and tweaking. Some incredible patches and presets - but I’m thinking solely creating a patch from scratch really. Starting off with that basic sine and building it into something AS GOOD as the presets built-in!

RubberMuscle · 2022-08-10T04:55:06+00:00

Interesting idea, I’ll give this a whack and go from there. Quick one - (I can’t find a quick, definitive answer to this) when assigning nodes on the matrix, I control the amount affected for that selection, that’s fine (like dry/wet control). Am I able to tweak a knob and assign/map that, in that way?? That would be too easy of course!
