So my M8 01 stopped working last night. I ran the battery out while working on a project and went to plug it in to save. It turned on and I saved and when I came back about an hour later it would not power on. I tried the trouble shooting methods and sent an email to support. Any suggestions?

I'm new to trackers, and have been having a blast with the new iOS software. I've learned a lot from figuring out what's going on in the handful of demo songs included, and was hoping that people shared their full bundled songs somewhere, so I could do more of this.

I think I got tables for about 20 seconds, but it went away again.

Haven’t seen anyone try this. But as soon as I saw the iOS release I had to give this a try. And it works perfectly. Buttons are easy to configure, and are quite responsive.

Controller is an 8bitDo Lite 2 used on an iPad Pro 11.

I've *finally* published the Quick Reference v1.0 for people to grab for free at https://www.patreon.com/neartao/posts/dirtywave-m8-v1-171413751?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

It's been something I've enjoyed having in my back pocket to refresh my memory from time to time, and I hope you find it useful as well!

This should help people see how to fold it and trim it to put it together https://youtu.be/GiOKYbJz-9M?si=u0KC_-NmMRXRj_Ah&t=142

I just bought the app but I can't find any Factory-Samples. Not a big deal but I was wondering if they are there and I can't find them or if they are exclusive to the hardware version

I bought my model:02 a year ago, but it took me months to really get into the tracker workflow. I really wanted to like that thing, but every time I took it up, it frustrated me immensely. Probably it's because it's not really the perfect tool for my genre, ambient. Now I can't let go of it. Such a fun and interesting device. Still, I think there's room for improvement. My wish list is:

1. Lower the profile of the buttons, or make them slightly recessed. As they are, they're sticking out a bit much.

2. Add one, or better two, wheels onto the device, freely assignable by the user. I'd recommend left and right of the screen endless encoders recessed into the flanks nearly flush with the case so if you don't need them, you don't have to use them. I would assign one of them for value and the other one for overall volume.

3. Make the timestamp usable. As it is now, not continuing when you have switched off the machine, it doesn't make any sense.

4. Add an option to rename files. It would really help to organize things on the machine without the need for a computer.

5. Either add one more in/out TRS to allow external effects to be used, or even better make those MIDI inputs freely assignable to in/out, MIDI, or CV gate just like the OPXY.

6. It would be great, but not really necessary, if the internal speakers could be a little bit better. At the moment, they are totally useless.

What would you want for your dream machine model:O3?

How do you organize your instrument numbers? I usually follow the rule: song row 1 is number 10, song row 2 is number 20 and so on. We do the same with chains. But then, for instruments, I just double-click to number them along, but I'm not so sure whether this makes a lot of sense because sometimes, if you want to do a variation, the whole thing gets a bit confusing. Do you have a sensible system for numbering instruments?

Like say I want to have a polyphonic external synth hooked up to a m8 via cable, is there any way I can make it play chords without it taking up half of my channels?
