Firmware - downgrade/revert (community fw sounds different than official)

[viessg]

Hello,
I just tried community version 1.2.0 and I suspect number of my tracks sound somewhat differently than on official 4.1.3.
There are definitely lot more of cut off notes than previously - so obviously polyphony with community version is reduced significantly, what I can understand as more features require more resources from CPU, but it also seems there are also some notable changes in sound balance in some tracks - perhaps it is because my tracks are 100% midi (I don't use audio) and I use saturation a lot, which I guess can introduce instability - I noticed this already with official fw that changing saturation by 1 could drastically change the sound.

So my question is -
• is it safe to revert to official firmware, by just replacing fw bin file and rebooting with shift+power on?
and also
• is there some safe mode in community version settings or guidelines allowing to sustain sound compatibility with official firmware?

Yes, that should be safe. Any songs saved with community will not load on official however.

If you can, uploading a .zip with the "collect all" (so song.xml and samples in the folder that collect all creates, see the official manual for how to do this) would be helpful. That way, we can try to narrow down where the sound has changed and why.

Hello Sapphire,
Thank you for suggestions!
Well, I found the article about SD card recommendations for Deluge and replaced ScanDisk with Kingston. Although both cards are Class 10, the Kingston obviously performs much better. Yes, I use also wavetables quite a lot in my projects and switching from ScanDisk to Kingston instantly gave better performance and much less note drop-outs and what resulted in perception that tracks sound pretty much similar to what they sounded before. Never thought that there is such an impact from choosing right SD card and that there is such a big difference between different SD cards.
Thank you very much for your great effort working on community firmware!
