@Bnwhtlw I can’t connect either it tells me
“Please launch the UCreate Music portal using the UCreate Music Mixer Desktop Application instead of your web browser. You will be redirected to the UCreate website shortly.”
then it does just that and redirects. I just picked this thing back up after a few months super weird. Are you trying to do this on a mac perchance?

Perhaps there’s a way of getting into the flash app (on a mac it’s “show package contents”, and rewriting the flash app? Dunno just my two cents.

Yes there is some kind of header. I know which different parts are in there. Such as BPM etc., but I dont know in which order they are located in the lop files.
Visit my blog or send me a email if you want more details
(Sorry but I dont want to publish this directly because its code from mattel)

So I am one step closer to getting custom loops to play correctly on this thing.

Upon examining the stock loops as RAW data in Audacity, I noticed that there are some small peaks at the very beginning and end of the sample. In post #33 Cementimental talks about these, and how they may be some sort of header.

They sounded as a tiny click when played back, but are not heard when using the UCreate itself. I believe these are impulses that tell the chip when a loop starts and ends. This makes sense; in my previous attempts at loading samples they all seemed to play in consecutive order continuously. When adding a peak at the end, one sample will actually repeat on its own. I just have to figure out the peaks in the beginning, since the loop doesn’t start correctly.

i just ordered my new toy:D
i will take a look at the communication between the pc and the device ucreate.

If someone is interested or is willing to help me. drop me a line marbs@hush.com

@scragz you dont need the openvizsla device to record the usb traffic. on a pc its possible to record this all via software (whireshark for example). Openvizsla or other usb protocol analyzers are mostly used for capture traffic between the target device and some other device where you are not able to record the traffic through software.
