Function + Clear clears all preset patterns/kits instead of one

Don’t stress about it @_serge. I was confused by the relation between Kits and Patterns at first as well.

It’s frustrating because you just want to get stuck in to making music - and Kits and Patterns are the first concepts you come across that are not intuitive (not to most of us anyway).

What really helped me was to use @void 's Tabula Rasa project sysex (There is a link to the file at the end of thread - load it to your A4 using the C6 app)

This has empty Kits labelled A01 through H16 in Kit slots 0 -128 used by their respective Pattern.

In other words, you have one Kit per Pattern:

Pattern A01 uses a Kit called A01 saved to Kit slot 001.
Pattern A02 uses a Kit called A02 saved to Kit slot 002… and so on, up to…
Pattern H16 uses a Kit called H16 saved to Kit slot 128.

There are advantages to the way Elektron designed the Kit/Pattern hierarchy that will become apparent as you get to grips with the machine. For now though, you might prefer them to be linked one-to-one.

Don’t be disheartened by the steep learning curve - once you are over the edge, the view is incredible! :ecstatic:
