Introducing 5 Moons!

UPDATE 2:

got a quick & dirty ffmpeg fix I’ll post here in case it’s helpful to anyone - slight modification on one found here - did the trick for me & seems to bring sloppy samples with weird rates into line with what 5Moons wants to play. I’m sure there are simpler tricks, but thanks for bearing with this post!

ffmpeg -i input.wav -af "aformat=sample_fmts=s16:sample_rates=48000" output.wav

UPDATE:

been poking around at it, and currently I think the problem is that the sample rates are all over the place on this source material.

Per the manual:

5 Moons records and plays back audio at 16-bit 48kHz. Recorded audio files are in the WAV format.

checking into some hopefully quick conversion possibilities…


Hey all - got a weird question that probably has a simple answer:

  • ive been trying to load up some loop files (wav) into my 5 moons. have named the folders & files properly by number, etc…

  • the files are playing back at the wrong (increased) speed from the 5 moons, and they do not seem to be sped up by a consistent amount from track to track! seems quite weird! the files play back normally on my ubuntu computer (vlc, audacity, etc). (in case it is useful info, some of these wav files I have converted from mp3 format using ffmpeg in the terminal)

would love to hear what y’all think might be going on or how I can correct it! as indicated at the beginning, i strongly suspect an obvious user-error :slight_smile:
