I just noticed something : one of my kit was a kit with 8 same EFM-HH machines to play chromatically, and the upgrade set some machines to « tonal » without keeping the right note.
I set the machines back to default and then it was the correct value.
Thanks for the info.
This is expected – the tonal settings are kept at a place in the machine that’s never been accessed since it’s built – what you’re seeing is just some ancient bytes.
Problem goes away when you toggle it (or save the kit) at least once.
… and in addition to that, it’s not really 3 values per semitone. It is kind of acceptable within plus minus one octave, beyond that some notes are very out of tune
Edit: this may be a hardware fault afterall, see a few messages below.
I had a feeze happen in a snapshot I’d been playing with for an hour or so. It happened maybe a minute after adding an input machine. All sound stopped, most of the trig LEDs lit up one by one, as did the ones above the jog wheel. Transport controls still worked but there was no sound and entering grid rec didn’t update the LED states. Reloading the snapshot did nothing but a reboot helped.
Crash happens at 1:55. Please pardon my left hand playing and out of focus video. I might add… everything except the Volca here is MD synthesis and even if input machines will never work again I choose this firmware it’s fantastic.
Hi JSZ this problem happens with my Machinedrum with older firmware too, I know this noise. I think is not a firmware problem. It seems that you must open your unit and see if there some bad conections inside.
Ok that figures I guess, I had the +Drive installed a few months ago and I haven’t played a lot after that, maybe something came loose. Is it easy to open and check the connectors?
really loving the new saw machine in tonal mode. this thing can acid.
one LFO to turn the filter down on each trigger and another LFO doing a slow sweep is yielding great results.
