I've been using an ESI MU8xl midi interface for years now to shuttle sysex backwards and forwards to the Octo, however I  can't do it with the MRCC. The files are smaller after traveling through it, I sent a 445kB sysex file successfully to the Octo and captured the output from the MRCC in Sysex librarian and it was only 16k. Has anyone here used the MRCC successfully?

I am having troubles updating my Blue Nemo, the modem transfer always fails at exactly the same place (294k), I have tried on a Mac Desktop, Ubuntu VM and a Mac laptop.

Sending: NEMO_OS_v500.elf
Ymodem sectors/kbytes sent: 2353/294kRetry 0: Cancelled
Transfer incomplete
Entry point: 0x00010040, address range: 0x00010000-0x000518b4
xyzModem - CRC mode, 1(SOH)/295(STX)/1(CAN) packets, 3 retries

I have used the mfill and dump commands to verify the ram is ok, no problem there.

Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks

The reverse play direction feature is really useful, I see this as a reflection around a vertical axis which can then be swept through the note sequence with the POS knob.  Is there a way to do the same thing but around a horizontal axis? I was hoping that it could be done with mutator tracks but I've run out of cognitive bandwidth trying to figure it out. Is it possible?

I seem to have lost the power supply to my blue nemo.

Does anyone know of a good replacement?

Many thanks

tried to update to the new OS 5 but I have run into a problem. The Octopus display is dark but if i restart it or reset using the red button I can see the boot sequence in Zterm

In ATR mode, I can see the scale note names printed on top of the grid, buttons 3 to 14 inclusive, I also see +1, +2, +3 and +4. The last two bump the notes up or down an octave but the first two appear to do nothing. I've searched through the manual for these numbers and found nothing relevant so what do the first two buttons do and what is the significance of the numbering system? Thanks.

I've been spending the lockdown devoting myself to the Octopus and have come up against a bit of a problem, I don't get this phrase (pun intended) from page 106 of the manual for OS 1.62:

'The 7 green note LEDs are mostly there to tell you that they may be
pressed: to set the optional phrase polyphony, press one of the note
buttons to make it blink orange. To restore the phrase to normal, full
polyphony, press the blinking note button again, and the blink will
disappear.'

I have had just a single note in the phrase and tried pressing these buttons, it just seemed to space out the repetitions of the single note in an uneven and unpredictable way, although still in time. I assumed I could input chords but there is nothing in the display to allow me to do anything. Can anyone sort me out on this? What does this do?

Thanks.

I'm just trying to alternate between quarter notes and 8th triplets, using the 1.5 tempo multiplier for triplets with muting the last 10 steps to give one beat of 8th triplets  on one track and then muting the last 12 steps on another track to give a single quarter note. I'm then chaining these track fragments to get the rhythm I want with copy/paste down the page, however.... it is wildly out of time. I found another way to do it without mixing tempo multipliers in chained tracks and it works fine. Is this a known bug/fixed in the new OS? I've included a sysex file that squirts the two pages into the bottom left corner.

Thanks.

Can I still use Z term on an old Mac laptop running 10.6.2 to update the Octopus to the latest version?

Thanks.
