Howās Program Change with an Elektron box?
Works fine so long as you are aware of one small snag
Thereās more talk on this in ealier posts on this thread.
I ironed it out and it works just fine. I change patterns on my elektrons, TR8-S follows nicely.
Edit:
Sorry, programme change? Or pattern change?
Havent tried changing kits from elektrons.

Excellent.
It has become a VIP (very important piece) in my studio. Solid backbone to my set up.

Some will already know this, but for me its new.
I just loaded a whole bunch of folders full of vintage drum machine samples onto my TR8-S. A total of 322 samples.
I thought it was going to be a painful experience but it wasnt at all. Thought Iād share my experience. Surprisingly smooth and quick, I just followed the manual.
Not as slick as doing it on the octatrack, but not as slow as digitakt elektron transfer or C6.
Pretty stoked, the samples sound great through the TR8-S effects and filters. I didnāt think Iād end up using the sample side of the TR8-S at all really, but it turns out I just write better grooves on this thing than on my OT, and I have more fun.

Emu Drumulator samples layered with an 808 snare and cymbal, tight room reverb and all punched into the compressorā¦ OOF!

Cool cool ā¦ Iām just about to have another āroundā of using it more ā¦ Need to try āpattern changeā, maybe it will do magic together with DTā¦ and I like the connectivity of it with triggers and all the stuff > into modular ā¦ Itās a good interesting machine ā¦ Far from being perfect, but super usefulā¦
But NO UPDATES ??? !!!
Still waiting for another one this yearā¦ things from 707, effects, probability, more sample editing etcā¦
Iād be happy with not cutting off tails on pattern/kit change. Both of the onboard instrument tails and the external inputs. Iām otherwise really happy with the feature set and performability

Its got all the 707 sounds. (And they sound brilliant)
Its got more effects that you would ever need.
Probably = lazy mode.
Not a fan of probability either. Now, conditional trigsā¦thatās a game changer.

Pattern settings, Kit sw OFF.
Doesnt cut tails when changing patterns.
I use a different kit for each pattern. So each pattern is essentially the jam-able framework for a live song. So that should be adjusted to ādonāt cut the tails off external inputs or onboard sounds when doing a kit changeā
Ah ok. Depends how you use it I guess.
I use a one bank for each song/track across all my sequencers. Keeps things simple and uniform. 1 kit per song/track.
Maybe theyāll sort it in a future update?

I hope so but Iām not optimistic. I just have to work around it. Itās a minor hassle but one that would make things a lot easier.
But hey, with a Digitakt on the horizon, I can juggle drum tracks between the two. Already tested that method out with a TR6-S in the mix. It works well.
