Device freezes when editing a parameter after receiving a SYX program dump of the Pioneer AS-1

Bug reports
1

I wanted to control my Pioneer AS-1 synth with the E1. For this purpose I installed the preset built by @Flyweight. However, when I dump the current synth preset data, the E1 freezes when I want to use a control. The controls are updated to the proper value once after the dump. I can also switch between rows without triggering the freeze. I tried 3 different synth presets with the same result. Can’t verify if this happens with any other device right now. In the logs I can read the following (from boot to freeze):

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Load the E1 preset
  2. Set the MIDI channel accordingly
  3. Request the patch from the synth
  4. Try to use a control

E1 version info:

  • revision 2.40
  • firmware v2.2

I’m using USB MIDI host.

Marvelous report! I will reproduce it tonight and will take a look at what is happening there. Thanks!

Are you able to reproduce the issue?

I am sorry for not responding. Yes, the issue has been replicated. It is caused by the length of the sysex message. It is not handled in v2.2 properly and under certain circumstances may result in the device freeze. The issue will be resolved in the upcoming 3.0 where longer sysex messages will be supported by default.

looking forward to this fix as I have several templates that crash. Also the Ensoniq Mirage template and I guess also the Ableton control script.
