A post was merged into an existing topic: How hot does your Syntakt get?
Periodically when using the overbridge VST my computer will go to sleep or something and Iāll come back to it and the audio will be crackly and completely unusable. I can restart it and the audio will be clean again.

I think I found a bug:
When using the double notch filter on the FX track, if youāre putting trigs with an attack enveloppe you can hear āplopsā when thereās no sound at all, especially at lower filter frequencies. And as you move the filter frequency up, the āplopsā moves from left to right in the panning. It doesnāt happen at all with any other filter types, only the dual notch. Very weirdā¦

Itād be a lot easier to deduce what you mean with steps - but having found clicks - rather than āplopsā - I was initially surprised to hear what you described in terms of panning - this filter type is there for phasing effects, so the tuning of the filter is affecting phase and pan of where you hear the click/plop
the way to remove the click it is to disable Amp Envelope reset
I donāt think the panning/clicking is 100% a bug, but they may be concerned that the way itās set up is resulting in artefacts that may be something they can dial out, I know this is an area that has had tweaks, so it may be worth flagging up officially to see if thereās any concerns - I imagine itās just a consequence of a phase shift left/right and thereās therefore a different effect left to right depending on where the amp envelope is being reset from - it may be something that can be managed better, who knows, ask directly
Itās there in LPN too, but super subtle
When previewing a trig on a midi track, only the base note is being sent out (that is, not NOT2, NOT3, and NOT4). However, when playing a sequence with the very same trig, all note on events are being sent out.
This might be intentional but in that case I donāt understand why (and I would say that the expected behavior for anyone using the machine would be that all notes are being sent during the trig preview).

Itās not intentional, itās a bug I noticed too. On the DT, the preview of trigs on MIDI tracks work as expected.

Ok, thanks for the information. I created a ticket regarding this on Elektronās website.

16 steps track with 64 steps fx track doesnāt function.
Retriggers seem to reset after changeing parameters. So set step to retrigger 20 or some , change Some parameters in that track and the retrigger is gone.
Sometimes automation is cleared when working on pattern. P-locks will sometimes dissapear.
Cubase 11 , after editting and opening snotter vst , overbridge plug-in Will collapse to Tiny window. It Freezes the Syntakt reboot is neccesarry
There might be some good feedback here, but it looks a little short on details that will allow confirmation @_lex
I aspire to describe the minimal steps from a blank pattern to reproduce, if possible !?
Hi,
I had the issue yesterday that my Analog Kick sounded different on the first Trig. Means when I changed my pattern and the kick started, the first one was much quieter as the others. It was always only the first one and it did not happen always. Does anyone else also saw this bug?
Regards Alex
actually this might have happened in my projects as well!
if you said it was a digital machine itād be more puzzling, however, itās not inconceivable that an analog voice will sound different on the first hit if parts of the circuit are not āstimulatedā ā¦ it happens a lot with analog four drums made from resonant filters - and a cure for a normal phenomenon (if itās indeed that, it seems most likely) like this is to ensure a trace of noise is flowing on to the trig, or have a grace note before it thatās near inaudible - this is one reason why itās generally the first hit of an analog voice that isnāt sounding - it depends on settings
you may as well share either the machine or settings so others can compare
it may be possible to allow a voice to āsettleā or maybe just swap the voice momentarily for a silent sound lock so itās in its ācircuit deadā state
and just monitor how long (between trigs) it takes to get false triggers by tapping the track manually
maybe put the nulling silent lock trig on the track so you can easily press play to hopefully āsilenceā the voice on that track
or
make a simple test case with two patterns simulating your use case and explore whether a grace/ghost note pre kick will remedy it - if it does, itās just the way the voice works rather than a bug, at least the precedent is long established with other boxes with analog voices
Iāve reported a bug regarding sound locks not adopting the correct machine on the first pass - are you using sound-locks, out of curiosity
it helps to try to identify the root cause by simplifying things right down to the minimum of variables
More about that ? Did you signal it to Elektron Support ?
I wonder if it sends CCs, didnāt try yetā¦
Edit : CCs works.
Hi! Yes, I raised the issue to support and they confirmed this is a bug to be fixed and that Syntakt should behave the same way as Digitakt in this manner.

Hereās a strange one: I loaded my first project via Transfer today (it was from @Eavesā fabulous Patreon posts) and although I see trigs sequenced and all the levels up, I canāt get a single sound out of it. Even in keyboard mode, even across multiple patterns and banks.
I checked the mixer and all the levels look good. Even started a fresh pattern inside of the project - the init sounds wonāt even play. Any idea whatās causing this?
Update: I loaded a revised version of the same project, and this one seems fine. I suppose the first one was corrupted somehow? Strange.
Thanks for the support!
Itās not a bug, I have INT TO MAIN set to OFF, which makes it so that audio is sent only over USB. I do this to prevent a feedback loop where audio from the Syntakt is processed in my DAW, then sent out to the Syntaktās headphones out, and gets picked up from the headphones outs by my DAW again and gets processed again. Setting it to AUTO or ON should let you hear the Syntakt again

No I have not used a Sound Lock. I just loaded a preset on the track.
pls share which one then so others can investigate whether the voice is sensitive to being āprimedā
