In case anyone was wondering whether the REC button issue is still current on newly bought machines: my new three week old Rytm MKII kicked the bucket yesterday. Here’s an excerpt from my ticket to Elektron:
Whenever I press the REC button, various things happen like:
- Tempo window appears or disappears
- Trigs 5 and 13 get activated
- Message “Copy 1 Trig” appears
- Message “2 Trigs copied” appears
- BT pad lights up
- Chain mode gets activated/deactivated
- Copy page command gets executed
- The settings dialog is opened
I was not able to remedy the situation by either turning the machine off and on again, cutting it from the power for a longer period of time, performing a factory reset or working in a brand new project.
As with the other cases, it is a hardware issue and the unit would have to be sent in for repair. I will however do neither that nor get a new one - luckily Thomann will take it back for a refund. Enough expensive experimenting, no matter how lovely that machine is
