I just picked up my new ARMKII and immediately noticed that the LEDs are all this white-ish, anemic versions of what they should be. I ran test mode and they all light up their proper, beautiful intensity. But, in normal operation all of the red LEDs look…salmon colored. I see no means of changing brightness on the machine so I’m wondering if this is a bug or if anyone else has seen this? I’m on 1.61E as well.
EDIT: All of the colored LEDs look faint and white-ish. Only the white ones look normal (obviously).
Top is AR and bottom is OT:
That does look odd in the pictures, if similarly exposed
Even though I thought most recent device updates contained a setting for brightness, i wouldn’t expect any setting to manifest like that
Certainly seems odd, especially if the test mode looks normal - gotta be worth checking with support

They were taken side by side. They look that faint and pink IRL as well. All of the LEDs did. In test mode they were nice and bright/full as they should be.
I ended up returning it yesterday as my 3 or so hours with it just didn’t feel right at all. And not for a lack of familiarity as I’ve been using Elektrons for 3 years now. Instead of replacing the DT I sold to help fund this, I ordered a second OT. So I’ll have one dedicated to drums/percussion and one for live looping and long texture loops.
