Is there an issue with the Mini in the latest editor online.
If I try and load the default Multi Demo (which I copied to my account to start testing simple programming) and then go into the editor, things appear i the hang state. I get the three moving dots on upper left. If I exit editor and repower Mini and reenter the editor I can then load some other demo preset. But in editor I get the hanging dots.
Try the beta editor. I think that might have a fix.
I’m kind of confused what the beta editor is versus the production editor if the production editor doesn’t work right for either Mini or mk2 anymore. Where is the original editor that worked for the mk2 before the new editor functions were added. We really need that back for working on just mk2 code divorced from Mini now IMHO. Then we can also look at the new editor for integrating Mini and Mk2 apps and also for just creating stand-alone Mini apps. We need that totally stable environment for mk2 stuff IMHO while we are looking at all the new porting.
production service runs on https://app.electra.one/ it is what ordinary users use.
beta service is a pre-production environment where I deploy all production release candidates prior to releasing the software to the production. The beta, is connected to the production database and the production authentication system. That allows users to preview the software changes using their presets. beta has been around since the very beginning of the e1 project.
there is also, a development version of the service. Access to that service is restricted only to a few users. It uses separate database and we deploy there versions of the software that are not ready for normal users. Also, as it uses a separate database, it would be confusing and dangerous. The database is reset on regular basis.
The Mini Presets loading issue:
I noticed it as well and I have it on my todo list. From what I seen so far it might be related to switching connected controller (mk2 → mini or mini → mk2) during one editor session. I am researching that.
Martin. Thanks. So once I start getting into this more - what’s the recommendation for Mini development - use the beta or production?
for normal work - including Mini - use production. For testing or just being curious about what I do - use beta.
I normally announce whats on beta here in the developers thread.
