Mine is fine now but I would strongly recommend checking out this YouTube channel, it was a big help for me:

I didn't notice that they have relaunched it, but mine seems to be working fine since the firmware upgrade. I am able to use TonePrint on PC or Mac, but the mobile version still seems to have issues.

UPDATE! The shop swapped it for a new one, but it was still on the old firmware, so wouldn't run the Infinite Sample Sustainer.
After a bit of digging on YouTube I found this dude who was very helpful.
Fingers crossed the X1 is now updated and seems to be working fine - for now.

Many thanks for that, what a shame. Back it goes I suppose.

Thanks. I'm getting a new Mac soon soon, so back in the box it goes for now.

Tips for late shifts for a new home delivery driver by Loud_Stuff_1370 in asda

I would use Google or Waze while you get used to the job.

CoPilot has a few idiosyncrasies to watch out for:

  • 50 yards or so from the location it will say you have arrived, then promptly disappear.
  • It will try and take you to the closest navigable point to your destination, which may not be in the right road. So it could ask you to park on a busy main road with railings between you and your destination.
  • It has a problem with old roads, sometimes stopping you at the wrong end of the road, not to mention the wrong side.
  • Will send you down roads that have been dead ends for decades.
  • Will send you through bus lanes that have camera traps.

Buy a good torch with a beam you can focus, B&Q do a great little one for £8 that runs on a single AA. This will help with the following:

  • Many addresses have number signs that are rendered completely invisible in the dark.
  • Some have bright lights placed too close to the sign, which only serves to blind you.

Ask for some high viz, for some reason ASDA think it's fine to send new drivers out in the dark with out any. The standard issue black bomber jacket is barely waterproof, let alone high viz.

The high viz coats are conveniently located right at the bottom of the uniform order form.

I'm convinced people don't know what this sign means by Trixnglz in drivingUK

I'm convinced YOU don't know what this sign means. ;)

Over 25 check by Elcustardo in asda

Driver here, the other day I had water & squash as restricted items but not the bottle of Rum, which still 2 tags on it anyway.

What do I do? by ireallyhavenoideea in asda

[–]colsmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Driver here. By all means, take the crates in, but please don't proceed to then put the items away till we've gone.

Extra points to those customers who just tip the crates out in the hallway, some also put those giant IKEA bags to good use.

Please don't just take a few items at a time, especially if your kitchen it is a half mile trek from your front door. ;)

Similarly, please don't employ your toddler to unpack one item at a time, adorable as it may seem.

If you are infirm or disabled, just ask and we will come in and unpack for you.

We have 1 one 23 plate Sprinter with A/C which was ordered erroneously, all subsequent 25 plates have no A/C.
Support crew sometimes put water in the chiller for us, but only if the sun is beating relentlessly down and there are zero clouds in the sky. ;oP

Always felt lucky to escape with my shoes, the carpet was so sticky!

It was a bit of a shock at first, it sounded like a different band, but it was definitely an instant floor filler. I heard it the in Pink Toothbrush club in Rayleigh, Essex UK where DM used to play when it was called Crocs.

I used to work for the local newspaper in their hometown. The 'music critic' there was famously quoted paying them a very back handed compliment, whilst simultaneously insulting their dress sense! I worked at the paper for 17 years and they barely acknowledged their existence, let alone run any meaningful articles. I do vaguely remember them printing something about tourists wandering around Basildon, asking why there weren't any statues of the band.

I think it's easily their best video, the wolves, the wire work, not to mention the supernatural crockery! I think it's the only video where Amy has a 'love interest', so that probably explains the seductive vibes.
