Lúbadh - Preset management tutorial

[@chitlun]

I'll be listing my Morphagene on Reverb this evening... I'm absolutely blown away by what this thing does!

[@votekmendo6485]

First night with the Lubahd V2 and it is already my best eurorack module. This module is SICK!!! THX Instruo! You guys are the best, very well designed. Love it

[@R3fuge]

What an absolute mad lad. I've had my eye on the morphagene for about a year now and I finally realize that the Lubadh is exactly what I'm looking for - each one of these videos (esp. the V2 firmware demo) surprises me with the depth of this module.

Firmware update = happy day! ❤

[@alansaunders3208]

I've updated my firmware, but I didn't purchase the v2 firmware usb pack. Do I still have access to presets? Are some defaults perhaps loaded into my Micro SD card along with the firmware? Sorry, this bit has been unclear to me. EDIT: Whoops. Looks like this is answered in this video at 6:36. Where it shows presets being loaded onto the USB drive from firmware on powerup.

Fantastic module, but I also appreciate the work that went into the software .. great work!!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

The preset loading facility is great in theory; in practice the difference between the colours- indicating whether I’m swapping to A or B- is non-existent. The only way to be sure which preset is loaded is to make them both the same in the preset loader, which kinda removes the point- but at least I’m sure which preset is loaded!

So what is the best way to review the preset text files to take a look at the options available for editing? I just wanted to take a look before purchasing, thanks!

[@instruo]

Any text editor really. I'm a mac user so I'm not sure of the equivalent MS defaults. mac's native TextEdit works nicely. I'm partial to SublimeText which is quite a minimal editor (also free). I also work between Atom and VSCode but they might be overkill for basic text editing!

[@flightofsound2497]

Regards hot swapping USB drives to change presets, do the presets automatically change simply by swapping the USB drive, or is any other step necessary to make that happen?

[@instruo]

Simply toggle the A/B selection and it pulls from the USB. It’s sensible to give it a few seconds following inserting a new USB drive before hitting the button combo (Press hold both retrig buttons a tap erase on the target depth).

@@instruo Got it, thank you!

@@instruo can we buy those slim USB drives with the Instruo logo separately from you?

[@instruo]

@@flightofsound2497 I keep the quantities very tightly aligned with module production, so I don’t have any excess. They are just basic 4GB (black) and 8GB (white) flash drives. Any generic drive should work equally as well though :)

[@flightofsound2497]

@@instruo No prob and thanks for clarifying that.

Hahaha. I watched everything, but i Didnt catch How to play back samples from usb and i Didnt catch How to try different presets 😂 i need to Edit that one file with name of preset to Get it on the module?

[@instruo]

The preset loader file determines which presets the Lubadh will run. This video covers the preset curation process :) There is a main V2 features overview video that goes into much greater detail on sample usage.

Pages 31-33 in the user manual cover the audio save/load mechanics. www.instruomodular.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lubadh-Manual-Firmare-V2-A5-.pdf
