Notes transposed after chromatic recording

Elektron Gear Digitakt
#16

I’ve been fighting with this same problem.
I’ve got my DT sending midi to a Roland System-1. I’ve got a trig that should be sending a G3, but when I start playback it plays a G5. Likewise, if I set the trig note to a C3 I get a C5.
The interesting bit is if I just hit the TRK button to trigger the base note, it plays a C5 like I’d expect. I don’t understand why, but it seems like the midi note is always two octaves higher.

I’m also not using chromatic recording, I’m just dialling in the notes manually.

I’ve been trying to prep for a live set, but this is really getting in my way.

This is odd. I’ve not experienced this myself. But now and then there are oddities still with the Digitakt for sure.

#18

Quick follow up:
I fiddled with this some more and managed to work around it. I was having the issue on both TRK-G and TRK-H. Clearing the sequence and settings to reset the TRK didn’t help. But if I programmed the same settings on TRK-A they were fine. So I copied from TRK-A to TRK-H and the problem went away.

Just a wild guess, but maybe some bad state information made it’s way into the two offending TRKs between OS version upgrades.

I do have the same issue. Recording something in chromatic mode, and afterwards the notes gets transposed. If I stop the sequence, and then play it again, it does however play the sequence correctly.

External MIDI notes transposes up
#22

i try it, it’s same.

#23

I’ve tried putting the base note on C3 rather than C5, and then real-time-record… that solved the transporing issue for me. Now my notes play right in the same octave as recorded.

Anyways, if by doing this you still have problems about transpose, you should contact support then.

Another bug.

the chromatic keyboard notes are wihtout transposition:
C6# D5# F5# G5# A6#
C6 D6 E5 F5 G5 A6 B6

octaves up are ok

#25

Well, that’s pretty odd indeed.
I think you should contact support, cause it’s not normal at all.

I got exactly the same problem in combination with a Novation Bass Station II. Very odd. Please fix Elektron.

you have to copy your tracks one by one into a new project.

FYI my BSII was off by a half step after recording and I moved the pitchwheel all the way up then back down and it fixed it…

Is this issue still not covered? I have the same problem. Manually jamming in chromatic mode results in the correct octave being triggered but immediately after recording the DT starts triggering note 2 octaves higher…

I’ve never had this issue and use chromatic mode all the time.

I have the exact same issue. I play the notes in chromatic mode, base set to C5, Kbd+0. After I record a sequence (MIDI track) the notes are transposed one octave higher.

I have had the Digitakt for months and have not encountered this issue before, but since it started i’m not able to get it to record in the right octave.

if you have the save issue whit another banks, not in a new projet, you have to copy your tracks one by one into a new project.

With the last os update 1.11 , this problem come back ! fuck!!!

I just experienced this issue…not sure if it’s been resolved elsewhere, but for the recordI found the following…

if I had a midi channel number set against Midi Tracks A - H in the Settings / Midi Config / Channels menu, and I also had the Midi Channel set on the Track / SRC / Channel page…it causes some transposition down when you play notes in Chromatcic mode. When you record this playing, the notes are played back at a higher pitch. If you turn off the channel in the Settings / Midi Config menu and just leave the channel set on the track …it seems to work as you would expect.

I have to admit…I don’t really understand why there are Midi channel settings in two places…I have read the manual and i can’t quite get my head around it…so perhaps there is a good reason why you’d need them enabled in both places that I’m not yet aware of.

Thanks SO much for this!
Don’t know how you worked this out, but i’m so glad you did!
