The Elektron documentation thread

DT manual p66 says:

FX CONTROL CH selects the dedicated MIDI channel that is associated with the parameters on the DELAY and REVERB parameter pages, both for input and output. If configured as OFF, parameter data are neither sent nor received via MIDI.

Shouldn’t the Compressor be listed alongside Delay and Reverb? It’s also controllable from the FX CONTROL CH

@eangman Spotted this one today, Octatrack manual

Should be:
DEP controls the depth of the flanger modulation
SPD adjusts the speed of the flanger modulation

From Syntakt manual :

PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true. (PRE and /PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)

/PRE is true when PRE is false. A trig with this trig condition is active if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was not true. (PRE and /PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)

From Octatrack MKI manual (and probably some other manuals:

PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true.

/PRE is true when PRE is not.

Confusing if this is not precised :
“PRE and /PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated”.
I’d add this, and remove “/PRE is true when PRE is not”.

Something like this would be better imho :
/PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was false. (PRE and /PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)

This one’s web-related, so apologies if there’s a more appropriate forum…

On the Transfer support page, the Transfer FAQ includes the item “How to pay for a repair”.

Probably erroneously included because of the word ‘transfer’ E.g. “… You can pay the invoice via bank card, PayPal, or bank transfer.…”

I assume if people have questions about Transfer, you don’t want them to immediately send their devices in for repair. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Although, in the world of customer support, I also assume stranger things have happened… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Song mode drops, and I’ve realized that, honestly, the thing I’m most excited about? Getting to read all about it in the manual.

This is not the case when any other synth I own gets a new feature. A testament to the quality of Elektron docs, I feel. Big thanks to all who work on them.

Not only a joy to read but also beautiful artwork on the covers. I had mine printed and it looks stunning!

I’ve ordered a new print for the new 1.40 firmware, which should arrive soon :relaxed:

Just noticed yesterday that the Table of Contents page numbers don’t match up with the actual page numbers in Analog-Keys-User-Manual_ENG_OS-1.51C_220207.pdf

e.g.
MORE ON OSCILLATORS, FILTERS AND ENVELOPES ........................................... 65

Is actually on the page labeled 68 at the bottom. (Note, I’m not being mixed up with the PDF “page” number :grinning:)

I like that Song Mode is touted as a shop-mention-worthy feature…

just bought my first digi line, a dt, when I was learning the manual, some of information about kit was so unclear,

  1. as we all know, elektron gear had a long history with kit concepts, the digi line still remains the kit, but no spare save kit from ptn, in ptn clear menu, there’s a very important point: kit data vs sequence data, but no any information in other place of manual give the explanation of 2 kinds of data, and the section about ptn, kit, sound explaining things very uncleared.

  2. a kit contains: no mention of master page and delay reverb, just say those is a part of ptn , but which one? Sequence part or kit part? actually, all sound related data is part of kit, like all other elektron machine, so please rewrite those words in manual make things more clear for read and learning, thanks!

Syntakt manual (November 23, 2022), page 60, section 12.3 SYN PARAMETERS PAGE:

“On this page you can set the set the amount…” should be “On this page you can set the amount…”.

Octatrack. Former commands are still in manual, p86.

Thank you.

I think section 15.2.3 in the Digitakt 1.50 manual (page 64) has some obsolete information. The second point 2 says “Press [FUNC] + [SRC] to open the RAM memory sample slot list.” This now (in 1.50) opens the Machines menu. I think you have to turn the Samp encoder (D) to get to this list.

@eangman What about putting solutions for common error messages like ‘bank unavailable’ on the OT in the manual?

I forgot if I already asked about it, sorry, but I thought it would be nice to have that.
We have threads asking about ‘bank unavailable’ quite regularly, but also other possibly bug related error messages from time to time.

OT MKII manual. Pickups.
This is from OT MKI, it should be REC 1 and REC 2 instead of AB / CD.

There’s an omission in Model Samples documentation: LFO Mode as a destination for velocity modulation.

I’ve not been able to find anything in the manuals to tell you how this works.

There was a guide posted in the M:S Tips and Tricks thread in Mar '20.

However, I have just been experimenting and I think a recent firmware update (1.13?) might have changed things. My update is here

I would really like to see the official docs, as I merely corrected what the previous poster found … there may be more to it.
