Eyesy Feature Request(s)

I’d LOVE to be able to overwrite a preset directly on the Eyesy.

  1. go to a preset
  2. change the knobs until you like the vidi
  3. overwrite the preset with shift + save (maybe)?

It would be nice to be able to go into AP mode (like the Organelle) without having to reboot the Eyesy.

Bumping this again.

I would not recommend using AP mode if you can avoid it. It’s not very secure and the default password is published on the open internet. At a minimum you should change the EYESY password and SSID for AP mode.

However, If you are logged in via SSH and EYESY is in normal mode, you can start AP mode by the following command:

sudo systemctl start createap

Once it is up you can join your laptop or other machine to the network.

I am not responsible for any issues you experience doing this, if you are not familiar with Linux, systemd, SSH, and the like, you may encounter difficulties.

Thanks? I just wanna be able to overwrite scenes on the front panel.

In other news, sure is good to see Eyesy posts lighting up over here! It’s a great platform.

I was responding to your request to go into AP mode without rebooting EYESY.

Re: overwriting scenes, does this not work?

From manual 2.3:

Additionally, pressing and holding the *Scene Save* button for about two seconds will delete the most recently loaded scene. So if you called up a scene and wanted to re-save it with some adjustments, first hold the *Scene Save* button down for a couple seconds to delete the original scene. Once you have found settings you are happy with, then press and release the *Scene Save* button as usual to write the new scene into memory. (Just know that the new scene will be placed at the end of the current scene list.)

Sorry, I just noticed my previous post re: AP.

Delete and Save works but it appends the newly saved scene to the end (it doesn’t replace the original scene). This changes a whole boatload of midi PC’s and breaks a lot of my pre-sequenced Digitakt preset swaps.

Since the scenes are stored in a CSV it’s easier to append to the end than to insert, but this could be modified.

The logic that would need to be modified is in:
EYESY_OS/engines/python/etc_system.py

Yes, a shift + save is a good idea for overwriting. Gearing up to do some work on the EYESY OS, putting this on the list!

I would also love this. The current way of “working” on old presets is absolutely horrendous! There’s got to be a way to re-edit and save over, surely?
Is anyone else experiencing serious difficulties with the MIDI implementation? Using with my MPC and it’s extremely buggy. Scene recall is all over the place (PCs don’t correspond with scenes), the parameters don’t always trigger… might just be using the MPC but I’ve never had issues with other devices controlled by it.

3 posts were split to a new topic: TRS-MIDI & Program Change

I would love to have the Eyesy using Python 3. It would open up the possibilities to use many more libraries as well as lower the skill floor for people to use it, since many people are so used to using Python 3 and for beginners, the nuances are enough to bother them. It would also probably make it easier to have a testing environment as well.

yep, SHIFT-SAVE to the rescue!

I normaly end up editing the Scenes.csv file directly on the EYESY, via the browser editor.

Switch to AP mode and back would be a nice bonus, for example with SHIFT+ENCODER4?
