Enter card reader mode disconnects the board but fails to open the card in file browser. I reverted back to v1.0.12 to make sure it wasn’t my gear and it works as it should.
Does it help if you backup your data then reformat the card via the util/format object? (Drop one in an empty patch)
No changes necessary. If you want to try USB audio (via the prog port) select + USBAudio here and let it reflash the firmware.
(USBAudio for Windows users: you may have to go to Device Manager and right-click uninstall both “Ksoloti Core” and “Ksoloti Bulk Interface” so that Windows reinstalls it and uses the correct audio drivers)
(USBAudio for Linux users: USBAudio firmware uses a different PID than the other firmwares so you’ll have to run platform_linux/add_udev.sh to give your system permissions)

Also I have noticed that some cards seem to take a very long time to mount, I’m not sure why. How long did you wait before giving up?
Also what OS?
13 posts were merged into an existing topic: 1.1.0 USB Audio - Is it working for you?
Before the update, the computer never OKed “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” for my other USB devices if i had my Gills on. Looks like it’s fixed now. Great!
aaaaaand I jinxed it…
gonna try 1.1.0 once my dj set is done tomorrow
wanna ask, does the SPILink firmware mode work with 2 Gills?
You mean that while the Gills USB SD card reader mode is on, your OS cannot successfully eject other USB devices?
Technically yes, though
- Connecting two Gills will be ugly unless you create your own breakout connectors and cable and keep the cable reasonably short (<20 cm??). This wouldn’t be a problem if you glue the two Gills together into one TwinGills haha.
- As mentioned before, Gills was designed before SPILink existed so two of the pins required by SPILINK are occupied by LED3 (dual colour): PB3 and PB4.
- You would either have to give up LED3,
- or make sure not to use LED3 at all while SPILink is active,
- or cut some traces and wire two free pins from Header H3 to LED3’s legs, then remember to use those pins (for example PG10, PG11) to control LED3.

I use a Dell docking station. When Gills is connected, even after i remove it “safely”, it never allows me remove my external drive where i keep my projects. It always says the drive is in use.
I tested this with my other devices. I know this is due to Gills.
Windows 11. It took about 10 seconds before I got the “usb device failed” bing bong.
Shortly after releasing 1.1.0 users came across various issues with SD card, startup patches, and USBaudio. Let’s not take any risks and demote this back to beta!
We’ll take our time fixing everything up and putting it up to a stress test.

If you were running USBAudio firmware on the 1.1.0 “release” before, make sure you flash the normal 1.1.0 firmware back before you downgrade to 1.0.12. (the 1.0.12 patcher will not recognize a Ksoloti that is currently loaded with USBAudio firmware.) Or ignore everything I say, do a rescue flash on 1.0.12 and be done with it.

If you saved any important patches with 1.1.0 , there is a hack to get your patch running on 1.0.12 again (unless you added objects that only exist in 1.1.0):

New attempt 2025-04-04:
hey there, I’ve been trying out this version. I am running 2x the spi version, patching on 2 boards simultaneously. It has happened multiple times now that my system crashed completely, pink screen and macbook rebooting. I am on Mac os 12.0.1

If you only patch one of them at a time (only one patcher running) does it still do it?
It seems to be more stable in that case. To be fair I had 2 ksoloti patchers and 1 axoloti patcher open. Maxing out on the boards here 
it is also not proven that these crashes were Ksoloti related, it was usually though when I would compile all of them in a row.
EDIT: Just found sth weird, the white noise (noise/uniform) sounds completely different (and kinda terrible) than on an original axoloti. Here are the 2 in comparison.
