Some way to easily reboot the mm

like pressing and holding both the rotary and back button at the same time for 5 seconds? i know there’s a reset on the back but during a live show, would hate to have to unscrew and pull out the mm to access that. definitely need to avoid having to power cycle the entire rig when mm goes down.

i know the request was reported elsewhere a while ago. but requesting again, as ive been having a lot of screen freezes/crashes (with audio buffer getting stuck) - mainly while running through a playlist of patches that all load samples. will report a bug at some point when i can pinpoint it. but with a system as complex internally as mm, i would hope we can have this option to easily reset it (because on stage, you never know!)

I could make some attempt at having a button combo do a reset, though it won’t be fool-proof since a crashed module might not be running the code that checks for the buttons.

I’m pretty sure you’re talking about it crashing with the dev firmware, right? Dev firmware is inherently unstable (e.g. not suitable for live use). Until we get it stable it’ll stay “dev” and the v1.x will remain the stable version.

But even stable firmware can crash since it’s possible to run an unstable plugin on stable firmware.

So my approach here is have the MM respond to a crash by first trying to kill the audio process. Then if that triggers a crash, to reboot automatically. Not ideal and hopefully not something that happens much but at least there will be an “out” that doesn’t require a hard power cycle.

an automatic reboot sounds even better, easier than having to do anything w the buttons. really appreciate your consideration on this one!
