Indeed, i posted in that same way in the request thread few days ago. I don’t even understand the benefit it could have to have a time limit, stressful.
My Digitone is lagging hard when i`m using the filter frequency knob while the sequence is playing. How do i roll back the previous OS?
Same way than for an upgrade. Just keep in mind projects done with the new OS may not behave the same way.
My input send fx have been glitching out today. Reverb up full, but nothing, then BOOM! Suddenly its there. Same with the chorus and delay. I’ve tried switching the global settings, mucked about for ages and by the end of it I just couldn’t get any fx at all on the audio inputs…
From the manual :
After you restart the device, load/reload a project, or after pressing [STOP] + [STOP], you
must trig an audio track to activate the effects for the EXT-IN MIXER L page.
Just had to head out to work, so can’t have another mess right now. I may of just been being dumb though.
Edit: So yeah… I only had an external midi sequence playing. My bad.
Hello !
Anyone use this last update ?
I mean, is it ok ? No more bugs ?
I haven’t noticed any yet.
Get your backups and try it yourself ^^
Btw had a reply from Elektron on the arp bug and the cursor index bug. That was already more than two weeks ago but I forgot to report back on the state of the arp bug, thought I still do so since more of us ran into that one. @radzmar @Kaffekopp
“These bugs have not been forgotten about, but they could unfortunately not be prioritized for this release.”
Which kinda surprised me, especially the cursor index bug seems like such low hanging fruit to the programmer in me but alas, it is what it is
Anyone encountered a bug where the DN freezes with a continuous high pitch note?
I reported a bug where it happened with DN being MIDI sequenced with OT. They could reproduce the bug but I got it once more some days ago just starting a project from scratch.
I was tweaking voice allocation when it occured and did not have chance to save the project.
Quite preoccupying as I have the DN since some weeks only and the 2 times i spent a bit of time trying to go deeper with i encountered that same bug.
I have this issue almost every time I use DN, to the point that I’ve just stopped using it altogether, its too much of an annoyance to persevere with, especially as it happens so regularly.
You didn’t happen to be using an arp at the same time did you? Most of my crashes are related to the arp, or at least I’m usually using an arp when it happens.
When the crash happens, you should be wary of power cycling quickly, leave the unit for 5 or 10 minutes before you turn it back on.
I’m surprised we seem the only ones to report this.
Did you report the bug at Elektron? They told me it was never reported before.
I might have been using the arp at the same time, can’t remember.
Elektron confirmed to wait 30 sec before repowering the unit after a freeze due to the device having high capacitors. 5 minutes seems a lot to discharge them.
I’ve had a number of occasions when I’ve power cycled too quickly after the crash, and end up with all the trigs lit but no display, and variations of the same.
Just to be clear, I’m not running down the DN, its an amazing device that sounds out of this world.
I just don’t have the patience to deal with so many crashes that randomly happen with no warning. Elektron support are aware of the issue, my use case must be not-so-common, otherwise they would be more concerned with fixing it.
“Anyone encountered a bug where the DN freezes with a continuous high pitch note?”
Many times unfortunately, usually connected (I think) to using arps but not always.
I love the Digitone but this problem makes me nervous to ever use it live. Maybe Elektron could at least make it crash quieter (though obv would rather it didn’t crash at all)?
This arp bug can consistently and reproducibly crash the digitone into that high pitch noise and this has been confirmed by elektron. You’re definitely not the only ones reporting it I haven’t experienced any other crashes when not using overbridge, but I haven’t played around with midi input. There is a good chance that the voice allocation thing you ran into is related to the arp bug since something goes haywire with the allocation even when it doesn’t end up crashing.
Interesting, I usually end up with patterns similar to how you describe, basically trying to get the most out of the 4 tracks, as well as running independent track scale etc. I’ve never been able to consistently reproduce the crash though, that must have taken a lot of patience for you to figure out!
I’m pretty sure I’ve had crashes with simpler patterns too though, something made me eventually get fed up of using it a while back.
Sorry but I don’t understand this sentence. Is there any relationship between Arp and Voice allocation?
I’ve encountered arp-related crashing bug a few times. Thankfully not onstage, but I am nervous about that happening. I think I’ve found a way to avoid it, which is to not have more than one track using an arp. You could give that a try until they fix the bug.
It took some investigation yes and yes, it can happen with simpler patterns as well, although usually this doesn’t crash the machine it just plays the programmed sequence wrong. I haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly what the cause is but it al revolves around the arp, voice allocation and sound locks (that have the arp enabled).
Some are easier to replicate than others, but for instance bug 3 is easy to replicate, and clearly not the intended behavior. I was kinda surprised that nobody (including myself) had noticed/reported it before.
@Blasted_pingin
Yes for instance if you soundlock sounds with the arp activated on T1, this will affect the arp on T2 while voice stealing is off. This shouldn’t happen. See bug 2
@Kraus @Looper I’m 98% sure your safe as long as you don’t combine it with massive sound locking. I don’t recall ever having a problem with every track running an arp while not sound locking the arp as well. Might want to confirm that before you rely on it live though it’s been almost a year since I looked into this.
