I just wish they’d hire @void and let him do it. Strom is great at transferring samples over.
I’ve been transferring all my samples over this week, so I expect they’ll release the fancy new app as soon as I’m done with that.

after all that time elektron should be honest that this tool or function will never be released!
for DT we are also waiting since release …
interesting what will happen when more users will have a full +drive 
3 years can be a load of samples we have to delete/lose …
määähhhh 
it will get released. Just when OB v2 is finished
And when is THAT supposed to be? 
Jesus, i’m not happy about the whole situation either but all your daily moaning doesn’t speed up the process. You get it??
The point is… well, I just made some nice patterns on the AR, it worked…ähm, and it was fun.
“Blasphemer…but BUT BUUUUT IT WUZ ADVERTISED…” angry posts incoming in 1…2…3…
Reminding has nothing to do with moaning. I wouldn’t ever invest too much of personal feelings into such complete company failures, fooling customers, and then not even caring to keep them informed in any qualified way: it’s unacceptable, and still nothing I am willing to get unhappy of.
But reminders are necessary from my view, as it perhaps is the only way how a company, which is treating their customers like that, might get aware, that their behavior will not be forgotten within days, and will definitely have consequences for future buying decisions.
Of course this does not prevent me from getting as much fun as possible from a machine, into which I invested 1670€. This is self-understanding, even if the advertised and planned use and workflow, which led to the buying decision, turns out to be completely non-existant. Waiting myself for OB, I understand the frustration of Mk 1 users waiting for a well working tranfer tool all too well!
Simple as that.

Bought a new Sample Pack Concrete Ocean for some weekend music making - spent one whole day uploading samples with C6. What a nightmare…
I had to to upload samples ONE BY ONE because if I would upload several of them, a folder for example, the upload process on the RYTM would just stall, while C6 looking like it’s going, which it wasn’t.
To keep going and to start process all over again, RYTM would need a hard reboot and also my Macbook would need a restart because it couldn’t run C6 again. It would just bounce in the dock.
(Macbook Pro 2017 w/ High Sierra 10.13.3)
So numerous restarts and reboots I just went and upload a single file one by one…looking at the screen of RYTM for every sample to get transferred before sending a new one.
How awesome is that…

Now that we know Elektron is incapable of delivering OB2 and leaves AR mk1 users out to dry, why can I not transfer samples back to my computer over sysex?
It’s been shown before that more talented coders exist outside of the Elektron team capable of fixing their shortcomings so I wonder if a: its possible, b:is such a person interested/available and c: how much money do they need?
I no longer have faith that Elektron will do whats right anytime soon but I desperately need to clear off my AR for new samples but don’t want to lose what I already have.
And for the record, 50% of these samples were created/captured and transferred via strom so they exist no where else.

I’m definitely with you on being willing to pay for this at this point.
We really should stop buying their products if they aren’t working as advertised, I don’t plan on buying any other Elektron hardware or software until they get their shit together. “We don’t have enough programmers” or “this is too hard” is no longer a valid excuse given the amount of time they’ve had to get it working. Good job on flushing your reputation down the toilet Elektron.
Though I have definitely slagged off Elektron on this forum and in my own private circles, I often feel the need to express how much I love these machines. They truly are works of art for me, but they always seem to fall short in some ridiculous sort of way that stops them from the true greatness, i.e. sample management (AR), Midi Sequencing (AR/A4), no song mode (DT), and not including glide/portamento (DN).
I had a funny thought yesterday that if Elektron had invented the first true automobile, they would’ve had nailed the combustable engine, perfected power braking and steering but somehow screwed up making the tires. People would buy it thinking “surely everything should work as expected” then wind up with 4 flats a mile from the sales lot.
All kidding aside, if they want to be a pro music company, they need to act like it.

Any news?
I am just now trying the Transfer app with the AR MK1. Wow, for me, this changes everything. Being able to quickly load samples back and forth between my computer and AR and preview them in the app before loading is super efficient. This will allow me to explore samples on the AR in a much deeper way.
Thanks Elektron!
I waited four years for this, but I am glad to have it now.

Yes, it has happened.
