Own patches on Wizard disappears

[kimitobo]

Hi there,

Uploading own patches to Wizard seem to remain in the memory only temporarily. When the bank / preset slot is changed or device booted, the pre-loaded patches are back. I found a comment in relation to OWL pedal (link below) suggesting the OwlControl should be used for permanent save. Is this the case with Wizard also and if so, can the OwlControl be used with Wizard as well? Or is there another method for storing patches? How many patches can Wizard store?

Saving user patches on the OWL pedal

Hello everyone, I've recently purchased an OWL pedal and I'm having some issues saving my user patches on it ( I tried both with gen~and Pure Data). I've created patches on Pd and gen~ that I've been able to save and compile on the Rebel Technology website. It also load successfully on the pedal, but every time I power it off and on it always goes back to the factory patch (I've been loading it on the E5 to E8 spaces with are specified as User 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the document I had with the pedal)…

Thanks!

Hiya!

If you use the website LOAD button to run a patch then yes, it will only be temporarily stored. This is useful for testing out patches.

We’ve recently added a STORE button which will save the patch to FLASH memory.

As with uploading patches, it relies on Web MIDI which is only natively supported in Chrome.

Go to any patch you want to store, click Connect to OWL, then instead of LOAD select STORE. You will be asked which slot to store in.

For OWL Pedal and OWL Modular hardware, please select a number between 0 and 3 to store in the four available user slots.

For Alchemist and Wizard, you can either overwrite one of the pre-loaded patches by selecting 1 to 5, or store in the next available slot by selecting 6.

Your patch will then be saved to Flash memory and your device will still be able to load it after you have powered it down.

Note that if you want to save a patch to slot 1, it will become the default patch when the device starts up, so make sure the patch works first!

How many you can save depends on how big they are, but a minimum of 10 will fit. If you run out of space, use the new Device Page to erase the storage.

New Device page

Hi all, as promised we've created a new page in the patch library section of the website to let you do some device management: https://www.rebeltech.org/patch-library/device As usual, this requires Web MIDI to work, and therefore either the Chrome browser or a plugin to give you MIDI support in your browser of choice. To start with the page offers fairly limited options, but you can quickly see what patches are on the device and erase the onboard storage to make room for more. Note that de…

Great! Missed the “store” there. All good now, thanks a lot!
