I have an issue with live recording mode on the A4 that seems like something that should be able to be worked around, hoping someone can help me out
When Iām in live recording mode I can record trigs exactly as I want them by performing on the built in mini keyboard (obviously).
However, Iād like to continue in live recording mode and play a new phrase to replace the original triggersā¦ this mostly works but not quite. The resulting sequence sounds like about 90% of the new phrase and 10% of the original. Itās kind of like some triggers just donāt get replaced by the new performance, although when I was playing the new phrase it sounded exactly as Iād hope the resulting sequence to sound.
If I enter grid recording mode afterwards it kind of looks like trigless trigs might be part of this, but I havenāt placed any trigs manually, only via live recording mode.
Iām hoping this makes sense and thereās an easy work around.
Bonus question: My OT came with a huge spiral bound manual and the A4 only came with tiny getting started manual-- is this correct or am I actually missing a manual?
Due to the various micro timed moments between each step, the A4 isnāt that great with āoverdubbingā in live record mode.
Itās one of those things that comes at a cost because such great features (micro timing, trigless trigs) supersede it.
You could try turning the quantization up all the way on the track and seeing if that locks your live notes into the 16th note grid, instead.
re: printed manuals, yes, A4 and ARās ābigā manuals donāt come in printed form with the unit. You can download the PDF from Elektron. That can be printed, or viewed digitally.
In my prior experience with the OT usually the problem is just related to thinking about things in the incorrect way and thereās usually a different way to do this.
It seems like another way to think instead of āreplacingā a live recorded phrase on the A4 would be switch patterns and start live recording the next phrase so it just sounds like I replaced the first phrase. Seems like I surely have to grab that big manual and spiral bind it myself haha. Thanks for the tip!
Yea, I like the PDF manuals for answering specific questions, because I can just search for a keyword in a PDF viewer software.
But the bound manuals are best for ādiscoveryā. So many features I didnāt know about where discovered by just thumbing through the printed manual.
Wow I wasnāt aware this forum provided such awesome visualization thank you that image and description explains the situation perfectly. I think my original suspicion was that the notes held āoverā the original triggers would replace but itās pretty tricky, Precisely on point āoverlap ALLā.
