Octaves, questions and update mode

KNOB 1–4 edit the four columns on screen. Blank columns do nothing. The engine-specific rows replace the generic HOME/EDIT rows; on unsupported sound pages with track 4 selected, DRUM TRACK appears and the four knobs do nothing. TOOLS still lets you clear its pattern, but cannot initialize its sound.

There is no pattern autosave, power-off save or panel undo. USER SAVE stores a sound plus a reduced 16-step, one-note pattern; PROJECT SAVE stores the four-track session. A first right turn arms an action and a second within about 1.5 seconds performs it, including over data Salt cannot read. No extra overwrite dialog follows. Menu exit and favourite changes save preferences automatically when their saved representation differs.

On USER, choose U01–U32 with KNOB 1; KNOB 2 loads, KNOB 3 erases a readable used sound, and KNOB 4 saves. Load keeps the mix and an edited pattern, but an empty or untouched preset pattern can be replaced, with its saved length, division, swing and gate. USER SAVE omits step velocities, steps after 16 and extra chord notes. Save or erase writes the complete sixteen-sound bank, even when only one slot changes; unreadable records in other slots survive as bytes when the bank itself loaded correctly. There is no panel naming page.

On PROJECT, choose 1–4 with KNOB 1; KNOB 3 stops playback and loads the whole session, losing unsaved work; KNOB 4 immediately saves the four tracks and shared values. The first clockwise turn arms the action; a second within about 1.5 seconds acts, without a further question or undo.

Back up with the firmware that made the work before installing or first starting Salt. Refresh the connected editor before Save to file: it exports the cached selected track’s parameters, shared values and 64 steps, but Load file ignores the exported shared values and does not restore other tracks, saved project slots, preferences or samples. Export bank reads each readable used user sound from the unit; importing adds the sounds to the browser library, from which you send each to a chosen unit slot. Library Export only downloads the browser’s existing library. Keep original sample files: Salt has no sample export or complete-device backup.

Sample upload and erase ask in the supplied editor, then write immediately without undo. Each sample slot accepts at most 16 files or zones; additional dropped files are ignored. An upload whose audio exceeds the slot capacity is refused. Starting an accepted upload invalidates the old slot before the replacement finishes, so a failed upload can leave it unusable.

The second PLAY light stays dark: its lamp position is unused and has no driver.

The lit page-family button continues to describe the underlying page while a menu or clear question overlays it. REC can stay lit on TRACKS with no track armed. The key lights show physical touches, including keys silenced by WHITE; they do not display sequencer, arp or incoming MIDI notes.

• Back up first. Back up with the firmware that made the work before installing or first starting Salt. Refresh the connected editor before Save to file: it exports the cached selected track’s parameters, shared values and 64 steps, but Load file ignores the exported shared values and does not restore other tracks, saved project slots, preferences or samples. Export bank reads each readable used user sound from the unit; importing adds the sounds to the browser library, from which you send each to a chosen unit slot. Library Export only downloads the browser’s existing library. Keep original sample files: Salt has no sample export or complete-device backup.

• Back up in the firmware you are leaving first, with its own tool (above). Anything below marked at risk can be written over; whether an older saved copy survives depends on how often you saved, so do not count on it.
• What installing Felucca [Salt] does to the firmware you had before.
  Show the detail

  install using supplied loader: Checks the package and unit identity, then replaces and verifies changed program data. It leaves the startup code alone. This loader accepts oversized packages without requiring an exact size (accepted package and matching key). installer finish: update-record cleanup: After installation, removes only valid update records. Saved music does not meet that check (Erases only a 4 KiB sector whose last 256 bytes hold a valid update record: marker 0x5441 at +6 and a matching nonzero CRC16 over bytes 2..79. In practice this is 0xE4000 and, on a first install from stock, 0xE8000. Saved music does not hold that record). application start: On the expected 1 MiB memory, startup clears the temporary update room without asking if it detects leftover data at either place it checks. Data elsewhere in that room alone does not trigger the clearing, but can be erased with it (one of its update-area probes is not blank). first ordinary start: Reads settings, four projects, two user-sound banks and three sample slots. Does not save settings merely because absent/converted, and has no project autosave. Starts an empty default working session. Calibration writes only on owner entry; first menu close and favourite changes can write settings without a save action (ordinary first start). OTA request while Salt is running: Requesting an update while Salt runs can clear the temporary update room. Failed or refused attempts can clear it even before any new data arrives (host upgrade request, whether accepted or later rejected).

  • Groove OS: Possibly at risk: Groove project slot 1; Groove project slot 2; Groove project slot 3; Groove resume autosave; Groove sound bank A; Groove sound bank B; Groove sound bank C; Groove sound bank D; Groove custom drum sounds and kits; Groove device preferences; Groove crash reports. Groove OS does not publish where or how it stores saved work, so data may be lost even where we cannot confirm shared storage. Before switching, use export all on its Projects page to save every project and the autosave. Use Save a backup on Your own sounds too: project exports remember the sounds but leave out the audio. Use Save a safety copy on Your FM-1 for the banks, songs, autosave and samples. Keep these files on your computer. Sound banks, custom sounds, settings and crash reports may be lost.

Other sounds stay hidden until their slots are replaced); FM1 Quest reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1 (USR1 plays only if its audio and zones fit Quest’s 64 KiB slot. Sending into or erasing USR1 replaces it, including holding REC on a readable USR1 in IMPORTER. Sending into or erasing USR2 can damage the end of the old USR1. Extra slice markers are not used here); JIANT takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4; user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, converting them (JIANT no longer has SAMPLE, GRAIN, SLICE or PHYS. Those sounds use its initial ANALOG sound, except old drum and percussion sounds, which become DRUM sounds. Imported names and patterns do not mean the original sample audio or sound is kept); ChoralRoot lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, but plays them differently (Imported sounds may sound different, even if their names are kept. Confirming Flash Data erases the older banks they came from); GHOULBOX takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them; GHOULBOX lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, but plays them differently; GHOULBOX reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3; fm1-chord lists Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, but plays them differently (Loading a project does not promise identical sound. Chord presets also need their separately saved fm1-chord settings); fm1-chord takes over Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, converting them (Some sound engine numbers and controls mean different things, so a listed sound may play differently. The separate FM6 patches for those sounds are not recovered); fm1-chord reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Saved loop choices use ordinary looping. The ends of loops held by a gate signal can sound different. Only matching saved SLICE markers are restored); MAKU takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them; MAKU reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32; user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (MAKU leaves these sample bytes in place, but its controls use built-in material; these uploaded samples are not available to play here); Jangada takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them (Imported projects use Jangada’s sound engines and defaults, so they can sound different); Jangada reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3; Skiff takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them (This changes how the project is stored and plays); Skiff lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, but plays them differently (The same saved sound format does not guarantee the same sound or pattern playback); Skiff reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Skiff uses its own sound engines, so saved loops or slices can play differently); Hortator lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3, but plays them differently (Hortator uses its own one-shot sound engines, so saved loops and slices play differently); ORBIT takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4; user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, converting them (Engines and sound controls can mean different things. Saved music can pass the same checks and still sound different; Only older version-1 sounds can change to this format; engine numbers and sound controls may mean different things and change how they play); ORBIT reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Slice marks set by hand are not loaded. Loop modes follow this firmware's playback rules); PIGEON takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them (Engines and sound controls mean different things. In PIGEON, sampler tracks replace the synth performance setup); PIGEON reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Sample audio can be read. Loops and slices may play differently); winampFM Synth takes over Felucca [Salt]'s project 1; project 2; project 3; project 4, converting them (Engines and sound controls can mean different things. Saved music can pass the same checks and still sound different); winampFM Synth lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, but plays them differently (Shared older sounds may play differently because engines or sound controls mean different things); winampFM Synth reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Slice marks set by hand are not loaded. Loop modes follow this firmware's playback rules); FM1 Move lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sounds U01-U16; user sounds U17-U32, but plays them differently (Shared older sounds may play differently because engines or sound controls mean different things); FM1 Move reads and uses Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3 (Slice marks set by hand are not loaded. Loop modes follow this firmware's playback rules); X0X lists Felucca [Salt]'s user sample USR1; user sample USR2; user sample USR3, but plays them differently (Each zone plays as a separate repeating break loop (up to 16 per sample). Key ranges, root notes, loop points and slice markers are not used); Jangada converts only older version 1 sounds in this group. Newer sound versions look empty, and saving anywhere in the group drops them from the rewritten group..

• Every way each write can happen, for all mapped firmwares: the flash atlas's table.

Salt keeps four projects, 32 user sounds, three user-sample slots, screen preferences, calibration and favourites in flash; an ordinary start opens a fresh empty working session, so load a project explicitly.

Unsaved music and parameter edits disappear at power-off; user sounds keep only steps 1–16 and the first note of each chord, with ties and flags but no velocities, while full patterns belong in projects.

Salt cannot load Felucca 1.6.1 projects; its later user sounds can look empty even when their bytes survive. Salt can import settings from Felucca 1.6.1, JIANT, GHOULBOX, Skiff, MAKU, Rainbow Mode, Hortator, WaveLoop FM-1 and PIGEON, and read the start of Melodee and ChoralRoot settings. After Salt saves preferences, returning to any of those firmwares can reset its whole settings record, including calibration, menu options and any favourites or MIDI LEARN kept there; an older surviving copy is not a reliable fallback. Rainbow Mode can also lose its saved WRITE song and greeting name, Hortator its remembered Bluetooth device, and Melodee its saved template and BOOT choice. ChoralRoot’s playing, MIDI and looper preferences can reset too. Back up with the firmware that made the work before switching in either direction. Salt’s project saves, user-sound saves, erases and sends to the FM-1, and USR1 sample uploads and erases can also replace ChoralRoot’s legacy sounds 1–32, VA patches, FM6 patches 1–32, CZ patches 1–32 and FM TONE patches, kept for returning to ChoralRoot 0.21 or older.

See the switching advice in this section for the affected saved work. The installer also scans saved-data sectors for update records and erases a sector if one matches. When Salt’s startup update check finds leftovers, it erases that whole update area without a question. Occupied data elsewhere in that area alone does not trigger the startup erase. Requesting an update from Salt clears the area even if the request is refused.

Closing MENU with missing or changed settings, changing favourite stars or the list filter, calibration, or sending editor preferences can write settings. See the switching advice in this section for the affected saved work. These settings writes have no separate overwrite question or undo. A cancelled startup calibration still reaches the settings-save check, which can write defaults when none loaded. Back up with the firmware that made the work before Salt’s first start.

See the switching advice in this section for the affected saved work. A user-sound save or erase rewrites its whole bank. The panel requires a second turn; an editor send can overwrite an unreadable slot without an overwrite question.

See the switching advice in this section for the affected saved work. The editor asks before its sample upload or erase, then writes immediately without undo. Being playable in Salt does not protect shared samples from replacement, and Salt ignores slice markers that other firmwares set later.

Back up with the firmware that made the work before switching in either direction. See the switching advice in this section. Other firmwares can overwrite Salt’s saved work at startup or automatically during use, before you press SAVE.

The community hub installer has its own erase policy; back up before installing through it.

No definite disagreement was found in the Salt docs read for this map. The browser Studio’s single-sound interface and its chord/sustain controls are separate from the FM-1 panel.

Optional SLICE pages are excluded because that engine is disabled in the release-default configuration. Factory debug consoles and the browser-only interface are outside this panel map. No hardware behavior or interruption recovery was measured.
