I just had 3 complete freezes in a row… I was jamming for a pretty long time in a new project… got Digitakt & Digitone synced and receiving CC for pattern sync over midi. Digitone keeps freezing up and I cant press nothing… only a reboot will help. When it freezes it outputs an annoying beeping sound. Can’t imagine using this thing in a live setup as it is now… especially with that ear numbing beep!
I recommend that you create a support ticket with Elektron immediately.

Not sure if it’s a bug or expected behaviour but in live record, the metronome pre-roll start sends a midi start message to any connected devices you are working with (Digitakt in my case) - so your connected device is 1 bar (or whatever pre-roll you have selected) ahead of the Digitone. Not a useful feature if it’s not a bug…
First thing I did after looking for answers here. Thanks.

I wonder if setting up a pre roll on the digitakt would even it out?
Not that you should have to go that deep but… worth a shot?
Hi
Just received DN 1.02 yesterday, start to make music.
Set up : DN master (midi out) > Blofeld multimode (midi in)
1st problem : Gears don’t clock together in MIDI mode (MIDI CABLE, USB seems to be ok)
DN > ABLETON = SUCCESS
ABLETON > DN = FAIL
DN > BLOFELD = FAIL
BLOFELD > DN = FAIL
((ABLETON > BLOFELD = SUCCESS))
2nd problem : fail to sequence midi notes out (MIDI CABLE, USB seems to be ok)
DN > ABLETON = FAIL
DN > BLOFELD = FAIL
- live jam with the keyboard = SUCCESS (auto ch 10 or 5, 6, 7, or 8 if you checked “output ch : trk ch”)
- once recorded, no midi data transmitted by DN to external gears (NO SIGNAL).
3rd problem : Latency in changing patterns from ableton live clips to DN
Common issue on Elektron gears, from 16 steps to 64 steps latency, you have to find perfect timing to resolve this issue.
These are most likely not bugs.
Check your MIDI post settings in the MIDI Config menu on the DN to make sure it outputs MIDI to the ports and not just USB.
This is not a bug. Just put a negative delay in Ableton on the track that sends the PC messages and you will be fine.
If you still are having issues. Contact support.

Not sure if bug or feature: I have my DT playing through the inputs. When I switch to an empty pattern with the inputs set to 0, the DT can still be heard at the same volume until a note is triggered on the DN.
I haven’t been able to find any mention of this, but I finally came around to sending midi cc to DN from OT, I noticed some of the cc s listed on the midi implementation chart were wrong. The manual says ratio A cc 93, C cc 92 and algo cc 91 but it actually took ratio A cc92, C cc91 and algo cc90 to work. I haven’t searched for more. I haven’t used my elektron boxes with cc too much so it’s possibly user error?
Also I’ve read in various posts that it’s possible to control global effects with cc but most/all(?) cc numbers for global effects control something else as well so I don’t know how to make that work? (Ex reverb decay cc74 also controls filter type cc74 in manual and that’s all I can get too work, not reverb decay) thank you in advance
Sometimes on some patterns of mine MICRO TIMING does not work, while on others it does work… Scratching my head, cannot understand why since I know how it should work from previous experience on rytm and four… Anyone had same issue?
Check your quantise settings?
Yes checked! but with no luck. If I change quantize settings I don’t get micro timing
Noticed that micro timing doesn’t work on patterns with different tracks length (often use this on rytm for polyrhythms)… but have to dig more on this…
My micro timing works everytime even if my tracks are set to different lengths so maybe contact support

It’s odd coz on others it does work…
I have been putting off posting about this in hopes I would figure it out but I can’t, maybe someone else has experienced this or can point out something obvious I’m not understanding
I’m getting weird lfo behavior on track 1 and it seems to only be track 1
Two issues:
-
lfo speed will randomly double on me, normally on page two, then it will play normal on page 3,4 and 1. I have not been able to replicate it it just happens randomly. I’ll have a chord (its even happened with single notes and mono voice locked notes) with lfo controlling say frequency, at a steady 32bpm mult with speed at 16 or 32. Every now and then on page two it will double, so as my steady lfo rythm increases for one page and then goes back to normal. Seems to not happen if I parameter lock speed to each trig but that can’t be normal?
-
I can post a video of this if it happens again but I just had track 3s lfo2 mult section control my lfo speed on track 1. Layering was not on, I checked numerous times on all tracks. When I would turn track 3s bpm mult from bpm to steady 120 mult it would increase track 1s lfo speed double just like issue 1.
I have done two facory resets, I have deleted and started new projects, issue 1 still happens randomly and not always and issue 2, that was the first time I noticed that happen. I have encoder set to internal but I do have receive cc checked but that shouldn’t matter? I have cleared, re cleared and cleared again every midi track and page. I have turned off all tracks incoming midi and am using the digitone by itself. Anyone having trouble with their lfo on track 1?
@Ess have you experienced this at all or can you enlighten me on why I’m not understanding?
still have crashes now and then, newest firmware. i think its still happening with arp sequences but cant really tell
No one else has this happen with track 1 and track 3? I don’t use the steady 120 mult numbers so it’s avoidable and not that big of a deal but it deffinitely is happening to me. I made a video but it was too long to upload so I’ll make a quick one when I get home tonight. I was able to replicate again:
Track 1 has lfo 1 active on bpm mult at 64 and speed at 32 controlling filter at a triggered tri wave. Lfo 2 is not active and everything is set to init. If I change lfo 2s mult section from the init bpm x8 mult to the steady 120 x mult choices it doubles my lfo 1s speed . When I then change lfo 2s mult back to bpm x mult it changes lfo 1 back to it’s normal speed. It also doubles my track 3 lfo speeds when I do this on track 1. Why is track 3 reacting to track 1s mult setting and why is track 1s lfo 2 changing my lfo 1 speed?
It is avoidable by not changing to 120 x mult settings I’m just curious as to why this is happening and or if it happens to everyone or my unit has something going on??
Is anyone able to confirm that at least this isn’t happeing to them??
Hello? Anyone?
