you want your machinedrum to be constantly fresh and being developed?
the beloved monomachine is almost 10 years old, but elektron promises to a l w a y s keep their fun boxes maintained and customers satisfied …
you rely on newest technology like analog synthesis of the AR and A4 (keys) …
they do write new updates, but fucking c6 piece of shit asshole software is just to obsolete and a mystery box to allow the OS to be installed on your machine …
they have the updates, but they cant release them because C6 is not working
…
damn, trying to install a4+ar updates for 1 hour, none working … i am close to throwing then out the window … finally i realized why there are no major os updates for certain products anymore
I updated the A4 and AR using C6 only recently. If it’s not working for you, you could send the sysex using MIDIOx or similar. The sysex transmission can be performed by other apps too. Perhaps if you described your problem someone here would be able to help.
It’s also nice to have a rant of course. After porn and pictures of cats, that’s what the internet’s for.
using another app than C6 is a goooood idea!
i will look into that …
last AR update worked immediatly without any hickups but today is snafu
thanks for your input smokyfrog!
I bow to thy elektron god sir dataline …
last AR update (2weeks ago) worked immediatly without any hickups … however i keep running into problems today …
few weeks ago updated AR with no problem, and transfered a lot of sampes to the AR …
had the AR and A4 set to usb receive (like always)
c6 config input and output set to either AR or A4 …
pretty much every time when I close the Config Page in C6 it crashes on me…
Win7 64bit … c6 version 1.5
i dont dare contacting elektron support… from what I read in the forum they must be already overworked and understaffed (*grin *big phat grin)
Win 7 or Win 8? Win 7 has an Win XP compatibility mode, which you could try.
Otherwise do what Cenk suggested, check the USB connection, and make sure no other driver is blocking here. If it worked a week ago, check what changes you made to the system. Maybe an update of something?
Try to remove anything attached to the computer and just leave the most necessary mouse, keyboard, monitor attached. Then attach your A4 and start C6. If it is still not working (dont forget to set the config) delete C6 and install it new. If that still not works, try to send the update via Midi connection instead of USB.
I dont know if Win 7 does it like Win XP, but in the device manager you should be able to see driver conflicts.
I’ll add something that may or may not make a difference. Some Win 7 machines (like my i5) only have USB through a non-root hub connection, not a direct connection to the root hub. I actually had to pick up a separate USB card to get my Focusrite Saffire 6 audio interface to work because of this issue. (http://global.focusrite.com/answerbase/connectivity-of-usb-11-devices-on-non-root-hubs?id=1127)
If it worked before, I’m kind of baffled, unless you’ve switched PCs, or you’re plugging in to a different port, which can also cause issues. The question to always ask yourself is: Have I done anything differently since it worked?
This probably isn’t it, but I thought of it when you mentioned issues on a Win 7 64-bit machine. Good luck to you!
oooh, look at that … i actually own a focusrite, but thank god havent had a problem so far …
will check next time in the usb device manager thing…
i havent moved the cable, switched pc, made updates, changed hardware or anything … thanks for the good tip mate!
overbridge is not coming before 2015, make that late 2015 … just my 2 ct and a vague idea I have from how elektron handles their business at the moment … would surely be VERY nice if that worked … i would also like to see a online update for the gear … plug into internet, receive newest OS … just my 2ct
