What is the upgrade ? Sorry
Is it just about this :āProgram change channel can now be selected in the Global
settings. Base means receiving only on the four MIDI channels
the Machinedrum usually reacts to.ā
note that itās NOT Elektron that did it. you didnāt say it was, Iām just reiterating it.
and I too tip my developer hat to the two devs that did this. would love to hear more and am interested in what else they have planned. and what Elektron thinks.
No: that text is a relic of Elektronās text describing the updates in the official OS 1.63 firmware, which helped the MD and MM work with the OT.
The new features, as described in the file and the first post in this topic, are improvements to the MDās SysEx specification āfor better integration with attached MIDI devices, such as the MegaCommandā and one MIDI bugfix.
This OS seems like epic work on the part of the devs!
Okay, thank you a lot, it seems to be really nice and user friendly, but itās really hard to find one those āmegacommandā and those are pretty expensive
Iād call it 2.0 or more!
Not familiar with, I still donāt get how the MegaCommand can influence MDās sequencer.
Is MegaCommand becoming the sequencer?
Is phase still inverted due to midi triggering with the new firmware and / or MegaCommand?
(This phase opposition was problematic for me, triggering sounds with OT and MD sequencer : clicky. Didnāt want to keep MD as a sound processor only, without its sequencer)
Will this still work?
I have a Machinedrum UW no +drive
can I upload relevant firmware to both devices?
Thanks!
This is mind-blowing but being risk adverse kind of nervous trying it.

Out of interest, what issue does inverted phase cause? Is it just if you are sequencing some samples on the MD itself (so they are not inverted) and some externally? Or can the ear detect the inverted phase or something?
This one is on the to-do list.
Interesting. I wasnāt aware that you could āhearā phase, learn something new everything day!
You canāt hear phase reversal when you listen to a single channel.
But when you mix two channels, and you reverse phase on one of those, they can cancel (or strengthen) each other which you can most certainly hear.
Sure, it sounds like the issue being discussed here though is that the phase is incorrect when the MD is triggered by MIDI and this is somehow audible on its own? Or maybe Iāve totally misunderstood
BOOOOOOM
Was that the MD E-FM kick or my cranium? Iāll let you decide.
So in english, will this be useful for anyone with a Machinedrum right now, or is this mainly for MegaCommand users?
I asked a similar question earlierā¦ Is my minicommand a MEGACOMMAND? if not how can I make it a megacommand?
Can you buy megacommand? My minicommand looks like a megacommand.
Im confused.
Looks like itās just for Megacommand users. I would loved an official update from elektron that made the midi sequencing on the MD be just like the Monomachine or octatrack. I donāt like having to select midi ch1 for all 16 steps to place a note on them. Long winded and archaic.
