For reasons I haven’t discovered yet (haven’t been able to replicate the issue) my AK entered an abnormal state in which the seq trigs will always act as track mutes when not in recording mode.
In this state:
- The bottom left portion of the screen shows the track mutes graphic, even when not in performance mode
- The first 6 seq trigs (when not in recording mode) effectively act as track mutes, regardless of being in performance mode or not
- When not in recording mode it is NOT possible to change patterns. If any of the bank buttons is pressed the screen changes to the proper pattern change animation, but upon hitting any of the seq trigs nothing happens. The only way to change patterns is to enter recording mode and then proceed to hit a bank button and then the desired seq trig
HOW TO FIX IT
Since I haven’t been able to replicate the issue I can’t be 100% sure this is the proper way to fix it, but here’s what I did that solved everything:
Save the current project.
That was it. As soon as the current project was saved the problem went away. As a side note, before saving the project I backed up all my kits and patterns, so sysex dump actions can be performed if you ever enter the aforementioned abnormal state
