Playing keyboard not in synq

Hi Guys,

i’m new to the A4 and having a little problem with him.
Every time when i play the keyboard in rec mode and the notes i play are on the right spot but the don’t sound on the right spot.
When I record it in ableton i clearly see that some notes are not on the right step and others are.

Is this normal or is my A4 messing around?

greets

Hi JNS,

This is normal. From A4 manual (page 30):

LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this recording mode, the [KEYBOARD] keys, or an external MIDI keyboard connected to the Analog Four, can be played in real time to input trigs to the tracks. It is also possible to enter parameter locks in real time. Trigs input in LIVE RECORDING mode will be placed on the sequencer in a micro timed fashion, meaning the μTM parameter in the NOTES SETUP menu will be locked accordingly to more accurately reflect the input timing of the trigs. This makes LIVE RECORDING mode record note inputs in a more expressive and un-quantized way. Micro timed trigs can be quantized, which is done in the NOTES SETUP menu. Read more about the μTM parameter on page 33. Quantizing is covered on page 34.

Ok thanks man, i was kind of nervous that the old elektron way of recording trigs was gone :stuck_out_tongue:
anyway thanks for the quick reply ! take care !

Is there a way to globally set quantization?

Yeah in the note setup, you can apply gradated quantization from 0 to full per track and globally. There’s also a separate on/off setting for live record quantization. Not in front of my A4 but I believe that’s in global settings.
