heya! new polypulse owner(almost 24 hours to be precise…), and i’ve managed to get the unit to a crawl, to the point of it not accepting my inputs. I’m still learning so I’m expecting before I get good at CPU management, this will happen often. Is there a key combo to stop all? I’ve gotten to a point where I can’t shut down the unit, and don’t want to just pull the power cord out…
Also…Is there a way to mute, not audio wise, but mute engines/tracks easily? If I’m not using track 1 i’d love to be able to “mute” it effectively turning it off processing wise so I can use the rest of the unit without it bogging down things.
In this case, you can also hold down the track buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the same time. That will cause a firmware restart (without saving or asking) so be sure to save your project once in a while.
You can enable backup project in [settings] and set it to save every few minutes.
What I usually do is switch to an empty pattern on tracks I don’t want to play / consume CPU. Then it won’t trigger notes and the audio effects will also ‘go to sleep’.
One tip I can give you if you’re playing chords: on some sound engines you can enable two notes per voice. Then you can and set polyphony to 2 while still being able to trigger 4 note chords.
