Hi,
I did my research but I didn’t find a topic to see if I have to worry or not.
I just got my new Digitone after I had to sell my first one few months ago.
When I boot it up, sometimes it work and sometimes it acts like that.
I know this is a known “issue” with Analog Rytm but what about the Digitone ?
you should try to leave it off for at least 30 seconds and then try to power on, if it still does that maybe give it a bit longer, try again - if it’s happening then it’ll be best to speak with support to see if it’s a known thing
When I do this, it boot up. Perhaps again something related to the capacitor ? I did create a ticket anyway to see what they think. Not a big deal for now
Being specific about the timing is important of course in diagnosing anything, never had that myself, but i’m not rebooting these boxes that quick as a rule anyway
I’m sure they’ll re-assure you if it’s not entirely unexpected
Mine does that once in a while too. Usually, when it occurs, I unplugged the midi and the power cables and let it rest a couple minutes. It seems to me that just unplugging the midi cable (midi in coming from the OT) does the trick.
Edit: but I see you don’t have any midi cable plugged in so this won’t help you…
That doesn’t look right to me. Sometimes my Elektron devices might not power on the first time but it’s rare, and a second power cycle usually fixes it.
Update the firmware to the latest if you haven’t already. Check the power supply. If you have two PSU-3 type power supplies try using a different one. Also try using a different outlet.
If none of that works it’ll be best to open a ticket with Elektron or exchange it for another one.
I’ve got a (very fast) reply from Elektron telling me that it could be the big capacitor which needs between twenty seconds and a minute to discharge after a crash or rapid restart but fact it happened even after it has been turned off for a full minute made me think there was something weird. I’ve contacted my local store and they gave a new one to me which doesn’t act at all like that !
I think it can happens but if it happens to many time, the unit needs to be checked (hope it will helps someone else on the forum)
