Analog Four/Keys OS 1.50A: bug reports

i have on both same bug on Digitakt and Digitone and other bugs.

And think this bug are with **Overbridge 2.0.47 to do?

Transpose bug - when transpose mode is locked, playing the upper C on the build-in keyboard also moves the keyboard up one octave.

Itā€™s not a bug, it has always been there.
You might ask an option to disable this as a feature requestā€¦

Iā€™m new to A4, so Iā€™m not surprised this has been always like this. I searched through the manual though and didnā€™t find any mention of this being intentional. I consider it undesirable, donā€™t you?

Thing is, I have approached most of my Elektron machines with a candid spirit, as I was really discovering electronic music machines and they were for a large part very well conceived.
So I learned how they behaved, and played with this, without questioning it.

Now that youā€™re talking about this, I can see that it could be unwanted indeed.
I thought it was cool to switch octaves quickly but it only works for octaves up, and only on C, so youā€™re right I believe, this needs to be questioned. And maybe documented in the meantime, right @eangman? :wink:

Hmm I must confess I didnā€™t even know about this myself. I guess that says something about the Elektron machines (or me) :crazy_face: I will look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.

Press Transpose + Track to activate/deactivate key activated transpose, when locked mode is on. Maybe :thinking:

OS 1.50aļ¼Œon cv trackļ¼ŒWhen you are in cv B parameter page, use data knob E to select TRK parameter, the parameter name is always Tk1, otherwise, the cvA cvC cvD psge, same parameter display change follows the selectd trk,

Can someone check parameter slides on oscillators pulsewidth?

Cause it doesnt work as expected hereā€¦

works here on 1.51

With firmware 1.51 my AK takes 7 seconds for a moved knobā€™s temporary numeric display to return to its name again. Way too long!

In comparison my DT (1.21) takes 4 seconds to return to the name after moving the knob.

Could this be a bug thatā€™s crept in @patrik? Donā€™t remember seeing it in 1.50A.

Iā€™d prefer a shorter time of 3 seconds tbh

Cheers

Hi! I just got a used A4 MK2. Got it for a pretty good price because the CV part is not working (he turned it off while updatingā€¦ ouch)

Iā€™ve noticed a weird bug - or at least I think it is:
This happens ONLY on Track 3.
Sometimes it takes two (maybe even three) presses to mute/unmute that track - and if I stay on that track, then it works as expected.
Upon testing, it does seem like this bug comes back once you move to other tracks and play around with parameters.
I also did a hardware test and both FUNC and T3 seem to work every timeā€¦ anyone else having this problem?

Very weird bug.
Were I you, I would contact Elektron support.

Ticket submitted.
Hereā€™s a short video showing the behaviour in question:

Whatā€™s somewhat weird to me is that the presses seem to register every time when in test modeā€¦

Update: I ended up noticing that the same thing happens, randomly, with many other buttons - so Iā€™m returning it to the seller. Tried updating the OS, doing a factory reset, using a different power supplyā€¦ still the same. My guess is some kind of electrical issue - sometimes it lags a button press, other times it doesnā€™t even register (I think I counted SEVEN presses on OSC2 button).

Yeah thatā€™s weird Iā€™ve never seen that on mine.

Is anyone else experiencing and endless MIDI loop with the ā€œAll sound offā€ command under 1.51? Whenever I am recording into Ableton Live, I will inevitably get this to occur until I disarm all the MIDI tracks associated with the Analog Keys

What Iā€™m trying to do:
I want to use the Keys with an external sequencer, like Ableton Live. I have tracks 1-4 on the Keys sending on channels 5-8, respectively.

MIDI CONFIG > PORT CONFIG > OUTPUT CH = Trk Ch
MIDI CONFIG > PORT CONFIG > PARAM OUTPUT = CC
MIDI CONFIG > PORT CONFIG > RECEIVE NOTES = True
MIDI CONFIG > PORT CONFIG > RECEIVE CC/NPRN = True

MIDI CONFIG > MIDI Channels =>
Track 1 = 5
Track 2 = 6
Track 3 = 7
Track 4 = 8
FX = Off
CV = Off
Perf = 3
Auto = 3

I have a project in Ableton with Overbridge enabled and 4 midi tracks for each of the tracks on the Keys, like so

What Iā€™m experiencing:
While recording a performance into Ableton I get endless MIDI activity after I press the stop button on the Keys. MIDI Monitor shows exactly what is happening

Anybody else experiencing this?
