The native audio format for the 1440 is 44.1kHz/24-Bit/Stereo. When you choose to export a file to the 1440 that is in some other format, say mp3, the EHX1440 app first converts the mp3 to the 1440’s native format then copies it over to the 1440. Nearly all .wav file versions of an .mp3 (at 44.1/24-bit) will be significantly larger than the mp3 file after conversion, which is why you saw the file increase to 50MB.

We have begun working on the firmware update to make this happen. At the moment, not sure when it will be complete. It’ll take a month at least, including all the testing.
June 9, 2023 at 8:16 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.60 – Additional MIDI Control / Bug Fixes #199537Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorWe need to first determine if we can save the REVERSE, OCTAVE, and 1-SHOT settings with each loop. This will take us a few days to determine.
Once we figure that out, then we’ll provide an update to you on when the firmware could be released with this upgrade.
June 8, 2023 at 4:44 pm in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.60 – Additional MIDI Control / Bug Fixes #199535Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThanks for pointing out this issue with the Reverse and Octave button states remaining global instead being saved with each loop. We will look into whether this can be fixed with a firmware update or not. We definitely agree that it would be better to work as you described where the state of Reverse was saved with each individual loop rather than be enabled or disabled globally.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThanks for the update with the new Micro SD cards.
Regarding the loops that occasionally stop after a couple repeats, are these old loops, recorded on the previous SD card? Are they new loops that you recorded with the new Micro SD?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorYes, hopefully it’s just an abused SD card that’s causing the problems. Glad to hear you like the 95000!
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorYou are correct regarding the new Micro SD cards. You can just pop the new cards into the 95000 and they should work, no formatting needed. You can immediately start creating new loops after inserting a new card.
To restore your old loops, basically just do in reverse what you did to back up the loops. Copy the loop folders from Mac hard drive to the SD card. Only thing to make sure that the names of the folders are in the LOOPxx format.
Reading through the issues you’re having with the 95000 again, I’m beginning to think there could be a bad Micro SD card connector on your unit. If you see again more problems where the 95000 stops loop playback for no reason and the Mac keeps reporting a dropped connection, there is a high likelihood of a bad card connector. You can ship it to us for repair.
Sounds like you’re doing some great stuff with looping. Glad to hear you’re also using the 22500 as well!!
Flick (EHX Staff)Moderator@Mamerjamer, it sounds like SD card corruption. Try reformatting the micro SD card using the official formatting app from the SD Association, which can be found at this link:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/Choose Overwrite format instead of Quick format.
If your Mac can take the Micro SD card in its card slot, we recommend you eject the card from the 95000 and insert it into the Mac when formatting. If not, the card can be formatted while inserted in the 95000.
Do the eject messages occur when the 95000 is moved or the USB cable is moved? There could be a loose connection there.

Some MIDI units use the range 1-128 for PC messages–this is what the 1440 does. Some MIDI units use the range of 0 to 127. Maybe that is what’s going on here.
May 8, 2023 at 11:02 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.60 – Additional MIDI Control / Bug Fixes #198759Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorYes, a video would be very helpful. Thank you!
May 4, 2023 at 9:09 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.57 – Improved MIDI Clock Sync Stability, MIDI Control #198746Flick (EHX Staff)Moderator1440 Firmware Version 0.60 is now available. Use the EHX1440 app to update your 1440. Here’s what is in the update:
Electro-Harmonix 1440 Version 0.60 Release Notes
May 3, 20231. Added three new MIDI PC messages:
a. PC 71 – Play function: always initiates the PLAY function unless the loop is empty. As long as audio is found in the currently selected loop bank, and no matter the current mode, sending PC71 will put the 1440 into play mode. PC71 does not start an overdub, record, or stop playback.b. PC 72 – Record/Dub function: always initiates the REC or OVERDUB function. 1440 will choose the correct function based on the current state. On an empty loop, PC 72 starts a recording. PC 72 starts an overdub on a playing loop, or immediately starts overdub/play on a stopped loop. During a new recording, PC 72 will close the loop and put the 1440 into overdub.
c. PC 128 – Direct Loop Erase. Immediately erases the loop of the currently selected loop bank, with no extra confirmation. The loop must be stopped for PC 128 to work. Caution! Once the loop is erased, it is gone forever, this function cannot be undone.
2. Bug fix: fixed a bug where MIDI PC messages 32 (RV.OC) and 33 (STOP) would change the function of the STOP/FX footswitch; now these two PC messages only perform their respective commands and leave the STOP footswitch setting as it was.
3. Bug fix: occasionally the LOOP footswitch would not queue playback in EXT CLK mode. This is reliably working now.
4. Bug fix: repeated PC/CC messages wouldn’t be processed while in EXT CLK mode with a MIDI Clock signal running to the 1440. The PC/CC messages are no longer ignored in this scenario.
5. Bug fix: a fade would be incorrectly applied to the start of a loop if the user had the overdub knob set to anything less than 100% and went directly into playback from recording an initial loop.
6. Bug fix: improved support for MIDI devices that use running status for PC and CC messages.
7. Bug fix: changing a loop with the rotary encoder or MIDI message during an initial loop recording would not properly switch the 1440 to the new loop.
May 4, 2023 at 9:05 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.57 – Improved MIDI Clock Sync Stability, MIDI Control #198745Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThat’s great to hear! I will post the text from the Read Me for the update soon.
May 3, 2023 at 11:23 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.57 – Improved MIDI Clock Sync Stability, MIDI Control #198733Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorYes, actually we’re going to release 0.60. As of this morning we finished our testing and will now send it out to be put up on the server. This is usually takes a couple of days.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThis does sound like a hardware problem. Please email poster@ehx.com so that we can figure out the best way to help you.
April 12, 2023 at 10:52 am in reply to: 1440 Firmware Update V0.57 – Improved MIDI Clock Sync Stability, MIDI Control #198464Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorInteresting, so version 1.0 of the 1440 app works for you on Ventura but not 1.0.49?
We found a couple bugs and UI issues with the firmware update during the last round of testing. So we’re currently fixing all the issues. That will probably set us back about a week.
