I was wondering if you can help me out. I have finally got myself A4 but it behaves strangely. May be you can help me out.
If I work with B1 sequence for example. I play the notes in, choose the sounds and change them a bit. Then I start working with B2 sequence, do the same thing. And if I return to B1, machine has changed all my sounds. So frustrating. I had Digitone for a while and it never did so. Am I missing something here or it the unit faulty?
The A4 stores its sounds in kits, whereas with the Digitone and Digitakt they are stored per pattern. If you want to have separate sounds on a new pattern, you need to use a new kit with it. I actually prefer the A4’s workflow, as it means sounds stay consistent between patterns, but YMMV. Check out kits in the manual.
You can get the same behavior as the Digi series by loading @void’s “Tabula rasa” sysex project that establishes a one to one relationship between Patterns and Kits.
This file can be found somewhere in the forum, it’s too tedious to do it yourself.
