Digitone 1.02: bug reports

Mine is dead pretty much, < 24 hours old :frowning:
Have to turn it on and off 40 times for it to boot. Waited like 10 min between. Does go into the test menu and passed all the tests. Tried to factory default and it freezes at the splash screen. Tried to reload the OS from that menu and it doesn’t show up in C6. Tried, when it did boot, to reload the OS and got a fail error. Bummed. I waited 4 months for this and now I’m going to have to return it to American Musical and wait another 4 months since Elektron only seems to make 2 of these a month. But when it does work, it’s a blast. Much better than the A4 IMO. Worlds better for what I want to do.

@Jameshenry Woah wild…do you have it set up with midi to all your other gear when having this issue or stand alone? One of mine basically always crashed turning it on if it was during the same time as another box turning on and connected thru midi

Good GOD, I thought I had an issue.:frowning:

I tried everything. No cables, with cables. Digitakt power supply I tried too. Different outlet. I got a bum unit. This is the 3rd one. I got 2 bum RYTM MKII’s and gave up. Super bummed.

I managed to get the thing on today after multiple tries and it’s been on since 2pm so I can use it till I box it up and send it back and wait another 2 months for a new one *sniffle sniffle *

2 posts were split to a new topic: REC, PLAY and STOP start behaving like Copy, Clear and Past

I’m currently having the same issue. Brand new, less than three or four hours played on it and the display showed this error twice and hasn’t restarted since the second time:

Exception R0021
SSP: 4 VEC 0b
FS: 0 SR 2504
ADDR 40097908

immediately opened a ticket, hoping to hear back soon.

edit: welp. just reinstalled the OS through the early startup menu and got it to turn on. will update if anything else happens.

edit 2: back to square one.

I’m getting this really strange bug with arpeggio.

Example:

PTN 1 has only Track 1 with long pad. When I switch to PTN 2 that has only TRACK 2 with arpeggiated bas, the Pad on Track 1 gets cut offed.

Bug or?

@grit909 If I understand you correctly, your pad on track one will only keep playing when you switch if you have the release set to infinite or continued placing trigs on pattern two track one

PTN1 - TRK1 Pad sound playing with long release. Retrigering every 16 steps. Everything else empty.
PTN2 - TRK2 Bass with arpeggio playing. Everything else empty.

When I switch from PTN1 to PTN2 the release of pad sound is abruptly cut offed. If I disable the arpeggio on bass track, the release of pad is played normal.

It’s very strange. There is no unison or anything like that involved. How can arrpegio on one track affect the sound on different track?

@grit909 Unless someone else can chime in I’d try a couple factory resets. I had an issue for a little while where track 1 lfo1 mult was changing all my other tracks lfo speeds. Couple factory resets and it went away

Plocked sounds don’t arpeggiate when the arp is turned on for that track! The a4 could do this,! Can anyone confirm?

Arp settings are saved with sounds. I kinda like it this way; it means you can technically plock the arp.

Copying a pattern on the Digitakt and pasting to a new pattern keeps the samples in place when the sequence is cleared. It remember “the kit”

It seems the Digitone does not remember the synth “kit” when pasting to a new pattern and clearing the sequence… Anybody else notice this?

If I set tracks 1 - 4 MIDI channels to, say, 12, 13, 14, and 15, on restart it resets them to 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Holding FUNC and turning the MIX knob doesn’t work—it just sets the parameter all the way to the left. I was sure this worked properly before; can anyone else confirm?

@pselodux Correct, mine does not work either. Just moves all the way to left like you said. Like that on both my digitones

I get DSP Boot Failure on start up sometimes. More often lately it seems. Usually a quick power off/on and it’s fine but I thought I’d mention it.

I’ve seen that once. I think it has something to do with the state the machine is in when you power it off

mine does this sometimes. my issue is crashes when chained in midi. happens when i remove my digitakt from the chain. analog rytm to analog 4 to dgitone to heat. freezes with a high pitch sound after the first bar.
