Fineā¦
Alex Willner (The Field) love elektronās machineā¦
Thtās probably why i donāt take selfies
or ---- āas ifā
Just received my DT Iāve been waiting a long time for, so itās from the latest batches. I shouldāve known I would end up having some sort of button issues with my new unit as well. The āFLTRā button is in the wrong spot, I have 2 āAMPā buttons, and Iām missing an āSRCā button. This is kind of ridiculous.
Whoa. Thatās insane!
Yeah. Sucks but they are very responsive and will shoot out replacements for you. Donāt have to open the box to swap them. Easy.
As long as theyāre quick about it, and I donāt end up scratching the DT while switching out the buttons, I guess Iāll be ok. Iām still currently annoyed though.
Wow.
Itās in a way, a sad state of competition Elektron has that it can get away with sloppiness like this, and I have to say a somewhat f u to customers in regards to releasing (Digitakt) with serious base level issues. Most other industries this would lead to eventual death.
That said, Iām same as others Iām sure - itās still a ābest optionā for whatever reasons and a fair trade for your $. Sad though when normal manual/ advertised functions donāt work or cause problems. I wish I could give my $ to a company who is a bit more āhonestā in issuing a New product release-- but nobody else is doing what Elektron does for meā¦ they make great music tools,
True. Sad state. And no competition at 600 bucks doing what this does. So iām lenient when there is so much love and attention to detail and so much forward thinking. Knowing that they will add new stuff thatās not even expected. So this is sloppy, but quick and i put my faith in the company. No other company that will let me make music the way i want to make it now.
I just tried prying one out using a plastic card. Yeah, itās pretty simple to do. Should be an easy fix. At least, my āFLTRā button is in the right spot now.
I love Chaplin.
I woke up with a response to my customer support ticket waiting for me in my inbox; the speedy response time is much appreciated.
Itāll only take a couple days for my new buttons to arrive; and as I described earlier, taking them off, and putting them back on is as easy as pie. Iām also getting free swag, so in a way, Iām actually lucky for having the minor button mishap. Iāll post about my first impressions of the unit on a different relevant thread, but so far, my first impressions are quite favorable.
