The routed Tracks adopt the appearance of the (permanent) FX Track’s graphics - so when they are routed there, their association is clear
It’s a reasonable question, but i don’t think it necessarily implies that it’s routed to itself - it only is itself, it can’t be shown any other way. It’s convenient imho that it’s shown differently as it could help somebody understand that connection.
Yes, one might see it that way. Personally, I find it confusing. In one place it shows a state, in another place it shows the thing itself. In the mixer, it is just another channel. Would it need to change back to the normal level icon when no track is routed to the FX block, just as the track level icons change?
Maybe. But then it’s inconsistent with how the delay and reverb is represented: the delay and reverb sends are using the reverb and delay icons (except in the delay itself, the reverb send is curiously represented as a normal level icon), but the reverb and delay mix levels are ordinary (stereo) level indicators, not the Delay and Reverb icon.
It’s also inconsistent that the FX level is represented in the way the mono tracks are represented, when the manual on page 17 shows a stereo path through and out of the analog FX block, so it should be a stereo level icon. But that was wrong in Syntakt OS 1.0 as well:
The feature is not supported in the OS and I have adjusted the manual accordingly. When it comes to future firmware changes we prefer not to say too much about that until we know what is actually going to be done. But I hear you and we will keep things in mind.
The device could sometimes produce unwanted sound artifacts such as crackles and pops when the FILTER RESONANCE parameter was set to max and at the same time was modulated.
Not only when the resonance was set to max, but also with a bit of resonance in combination with short filter/amp envelopes, etc. This was especially noticable with the chord machine, but this all has been fixed in 1.01!
Updated to 1.01 this afternoon. Done in 60 seconds. Just dropped by to say thanks Elektron dev team for such a quick update! Looking forward for what’s in store
