true but for a major and simple function like muting to fail is a bit hard to take for those of us who are in the lower-income bracket. It took me 5month of saving and extra work to get one.
You need to update you digitone plain and simple. You are on 1.02 current firmware is 1.21. Itās is entirely likely that if what you are experiencing is an actual bug it was fixed in one of the updates that came after 1.02.
Best practice is to keep your box up to date. You actually should have updated right out the box.
I get that Elektron gear is expensive. But to expect software to ship without bugs is unrealistic.
I understand. This is a first for me ( dealing with buggy gear) and I am over it. Thank you.
Reloading the pages like Chorus, Delay and reverb doesnāt work here ([FUNC] + [PARAMETER] key + [NO] ). Randomize works but not reload.
Did you enable the PROG CH SEND
option in the MIDI CONFIG -> SYNC
menu?
Yes ,thx ā¦ but no midi pattern change to the op-z but new info!
I have fogotten that i have updated(1.2.5) my op z too and it seems that it no respond to pattern change . (See on op forum)
Thx everyone!!!
Found a bug which I reported to Elektron. They were able to reproduce it and it is thus forwarded to the developers. I though Iād share it here in case anyone comes across it:
Trigs are added (and sometimes removed) on one track while editing notes of trigs on another track.
I can consistently reproduce this by adding trigs on track 4 at 1, 5, 9, 14. Then add trigs on track 1 at 1, 6, 9, 14. Then hold these last 4 trigs at the same time and press the NOTE button. Remove the original note and choose a different note, then hit yes.
Cheers Dave
Iām having yet another issue with pattern sync. Iām syncing my DN via my OT (clock and program change). If I start the the OT on a pattern, the DN is in perfect sync. If I then switch to another pattern, keeping the OT/DN running, the new pattern on the DN is slightly off. Here is the really strange part though, the Metronomes on both machines stay in perfect sync, just the pattern is off.
This seems to be happening on patterns Iāve engaged āscale per trackā on. The real pain in the ass is that copying and moving the pattern doesnāt fix it, reverting to āscale per Patternā doesnāt fix it and even manually copying each sound and itās respective trigs to a brand new pattern doesnāt fix it.
As I mentioned before I had an issue with a pattern playing an extra note (the first note of the pattern) super quick the second time around, making a slight glitch and then playing slightly off. I had to completely erase it and rebuild from scratch to get rid of it. Now itās happening right away. Super frustrating. Iām uploading a video to youtube to include with my bug report.
Same I was about to report, glad you found a repeatable version for them!
Same issue here! Hope they fix soon as itās setting me back something fierce. Starting to think I need to take it out of my rigā¦ very sad as I absolutely love the sound.
Yeah, happens to me tooā¦ When sound is stuck (endless notes) the other thing that helps is to take more than 8 voices (aka smash the keyboard and steal the āstuckā voice). It sometimes happens with only one track active too, though.
Iām sequencing my Digitone with Ableton via Overbridge too btw.
Very annoying bug, making the whole unit basically useless (there is no creativity when there is so much frustration with unit ignoring what your sequencing it with).
Double-tapping [STOP] also works for me to get the unit to stop droning on. It really is quite a bit irritating.
Yes when Digitone is synced (midi clock) to OT it goes badly out of sync when switching patterns on the DN if the DN pattern SCALE is set to 1/2x on the starting pattern and switching to other 1/2x or 1x patterns.
(OT runs at 1x) No problem switching between patterns running at 1x on DN.
The problem is also there with the AR and using Direct Jump.
If one converts or rearrange the 1/2x patterns to 1x patterns they will switch properly. But itās a shame we canāt use different tempo scale settings when syncing up the Elektron machines.
Hope this gets fixed in the next update!
Iām just sampling the DN with my OT as itās too much of a struggle with this sync bug.
Unfortunately there is a sort of similar issue with the A4 that hasnāt been addressed for years. I wish they would dedicate more manpower to these bugs. As I build a live set I get more and more fearful of train wrecks that I canāt prevent.
Right. But keep the main timing the same on both machines then they work fine. No problem here when they run at 1x even if some tracks on DN are set to 1/2x. (-Even if all tracks are set to 1/2x, as long as you have once set the LENGTH PER PATTERN to 1x using the FUNC+Yes command.
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request: yellow trigs canāt p-lock note. If I want to change the pitch on the tail end of a long note, I need to use normal red trigs.
Just now discovered this bug tooā¦ Was planning on jamming a free saturday night but stuck with this bug huntā¦
Did you report it to Elektron?
Yep. Made a video too at their request. Itās been verified but no eta for solution/fix.
Hello. Just got a Digitone this weekend. I updated to the latest firmware (1.21) and gave it a go. My issue (Potential bug?):
When i clear out a track using the [Clear]+[Track 1] method, it will initialize the sound. When i do so, I canāt get the synth engine to respect changes to the Operator A ratio using certain algorithms. I double check the X-Y crossfader to make sure Iām monitoring the correct output but i still canāt hear Op-A changes.
Iām pretty sure this is a user error, but just wanted to make sure. Thank you.
