seems not

I haven’t installed 1.45B, but the pattern change bug is listed as fixed in 1.45A.

Quick question from rytm MKI user.

If i want to use Transfer i have to upgrade to latest OS, which is 1.45, but then i cant no longer use overbridge? Did i get it right?

I believe so, but please note this is a bug discussion thread :thup:

Patched from 1.45 to 1.45B in AR MK1. Mute was freezed and the beavior from the sounds + pattern itself were completely different and unhandable. After Saving the Project to another slot I changed to another Project. Now it works, but the saved buggy pattern still stays in a mess.

SO: Be alerted everyone, to save your project before updating and reload afterwards…!

BTW Solo function (Retrig + Pad of the track) worked at this buggy state

Hi,
I’m using MK1. I’m tempted to upgrade my actual OS 1.30C with the 1.45 because I want finally backup my custom samples using the new Elektron Transfer Software that is compatible only with OS 1.45 (with C6 it isn’t possible).

I’m worried to have problems with OS 1.45 or to have bad surprises with my old songs. Do you think it could be a too big jump pass from 1.30C to 1.45 ? Is it possible that some songs sounds differently? have someone done a similar upgrade?

many thanks

Hi,

I came across a bug that has been verified by Elektron (after raising a support ticket).

The bug could be summarised as ‘LFO trig sawtooth wave tempo specific erratic behaviour’.

I’m on 1.45b. I wrote the following to Elektron:

"I think there may be an issue with the track LFOs. They seem to go in and out of sync on CH9 (at least) and behave differently depending on tempo. I checked the status of RYTM and it is fine from a test mode point of view.

The LFO performs consistently in the tempos 50, 75, 90, 100, 125, 150 and 200 bpm. Other tempos change the LFO behaviour after the second iteration of a sequence (about ¾ of the way through the second iteration).

I set an LFO on CH9 to modulate the amp attack time. I set it at a speed of 4 or 8 with a multiplier of 128 or 64 respectively. The waveform is a SAW at a phase of 64. The first TRIG is P-LOCKED to LFO MOD = TRG and all other TRIGS are not set (they run free). I do this so to force the LFO to start from a known starting position.

I checked whether it might be the hold or decay settings of the amp, but they are set to short values. The trig setup is set to LFO = 0 and all others are set to 1."

Elektron confirmed this behaviour on all tracks, but only with the sawtooth lfo wave.

Just wanted to report it in case someone else has this issue. I work around it by placing a trig lfo on the second step of the pattern.

Are freezes confirmed as bugs or can they be hardware issues? MK2 user here and have had a few freezes on my new unit so far.

If you load lots of samples to the sample pool, then Select All -> Unload, it will still say the memory is full and not let you add new ones, unless you power off and then on.

Yes…

I experienced a freeze a few nights back with the most recent update installed. During a set I might add which adds quite a bit to the frustration.

Didi you play on Overbridge Mode ? I switch from Overbridge mode to USB/Midi Only, and it seems to avoid any freeze. I will play more today and let you know.

To my surprise I was in overbridge mode, I’ll def disable for any live sets in the future. Thanks for suggesting. I’ll also report any freezes if they occur with OM disabled.

So it happened again. I cant explain how to reproduce, it was ok yesterday for about 4 hours and now it did it again after 30 minutes.
It seems to occur in mute section. Anyone else confirm that ?

Dont know if there was a ticket about it , I just opened one.

Hello,

Brand new Analog Rhythm MKII with 1.45B. When I power ON, the MT and CH are lighting up. Is that normal?

When I play sounds and I ‘double click’ the stop button, some pads are lighting up. Normal too?

Thanks.

I love my Elektron gear, but having your gear freeze up at a gig would be a nightmare. One of my worst fears.

Yeah, there’s that brief panic moment that’s pretty awful. What’s extra frustrating is that it never occurred prior to the second to last update. I’ve been bringing along a synth or two (partially in fear of this occurring). Fortunately it’s just a freeze and not a crash, meaning I can fade out the rytm, bring in a sequence to fill space, and restart the rytm. At least then it’s just a small hiccup rather than a train wreck. I would definitely rather not have that occur at all though! The days of using the AR exclusively on a gig are over for me.

It would seem the mute section is always where this freeze occurs. I would have added it seemed to happen when I was rapidly jumping between modes, etc., but I experienced one a few days ago just with they rytm running for a few minutes on it’s own without touching. It was in mute mode.
