[quote=“joshEjosh”][quote=“Purusha”]Thanks!

I’m currently absorbing the tips in the ElektronNextLevel2011.pdf

Some interesting info in that one, even if it’s essentially glued-together tips from the forums.

I’m wondering why turning off the key tracking should make a difference though? I’m guessing you’d still want that enabled for arp-y / melodic material which spans an octave or two…?

That depends entirely on the sound you want. I turn HPF keytracking off almost all the time as it tends to thin out the timbre in the higher registers. It is essential to turn off keytracking for thru machines and effects, otherwise you’ll end up being one of those “the monomachine sounds thin” people. LPF keytracking is good for most synth-y things. Not as good for percussion and effects. Try different things, see what sounds right to you.

KIT > ASSIGN > KEY menu.
Read about filter tracking in the manual.
