I have a Novation Summit that when I load new patches, the knobs are obviously not in the right position after the patch has loaded, so when I change the filter frequency for example, it jumps from the patch position to the current position.
The Elektron Heat has a “catch” mode that waits for you to position the knob in the same position as the patch/preset, then start actually changing.
This would be great to have working on the Summit as well, but didn’t find any setting in the menus that could enable that. Skimmed through the manual without any success as well. Maybe there is something I’m missing to have the knobs in Summit behave like the catch mode on the Heat?
You’re looking for “pickup” in settings. From the manual:
The setting of Pickup allows the current physical position of Summit’s rotary controls to
be taken into account. When Pickup is Off, adjusting any of Summit’s rotary controls will
produce parameter change and a potentially immediately audible effect (a small difference
between the parameter value corresponding to the control’s physical position and the value
currently in force for the Patch may result in the effect being inaudible). When set to On,
the control needs to be moved to the physical position corresponding to the value of the
parameter saved for the currently loaded Patch, and will only alter the parameter value once
that position is reached. For parameters with a range of 0 to 255, this means the 12 o’clock
position will correspond to a value of 127; for parameters with a range of -64 to +63, the
12 o’clock position will correspond to a value of zero.
Damn, I was hoping it wasn’t in the manual because I searched through it already! The pointer to the keyword “pickup” helps a lot, maybe it’s common but I only knew it as “catch”. Thanks for the help
No problem. There doesn’t seem to be a standard term for this. Sequential calls the equivalent setting on their synths “passthru”, as the pot must “pass through” the saved value before it has an effect. Faderfox calls it “snap mode”
