JamieCrain Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi there, Purchased my Firehawk on the weekend and before doing anything I downloaded and installed the latest firmware. So far so good. Now it's up to date and I can set up patches easily, but there is a significant volume drop when switching patches for approx 1 second before returning to normal volume. As you can imagine this is very frustrating and must be a bug. Can anyone advise if this is normal/expected, or what can be done to resolve it?

mcbeddall Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Are you sure it's 1 second? It used to be that slow for me but since the update it's much less, probably a third of a second at worst and a tenth of a second at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that slow for me but since the update it's much less, probably a third of a second at worst and a tenth of a second at best It would be close. It is a very significant lag and totally ruins the impact of changes patches mid-song. It's as if the signal cuts out. That said, I don't think it happens *every* time. I'll test further and come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Defo double check your firmware as it sounds like your not on the latest version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCrain Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 OK. Firmware is confirmed as 1.20 so it's not that, BUT I have discovered that this problem only happens when switching between the patches I have created. It does not happen to the presets that came loaded with the device. The output levels of the patches are similar. What could that mean? A bluetooth syncing issue (note I didn't have my phone or iPad running when I tested this time), corrupt patches, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDaddyNL Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Are you using a volume pedal in your pedal chain? If so, check the set value in the patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCrain Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion, yes I am, but that's not it. The volume drops and then comes back to normal after a second with no intervention from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
