Analog Four/Keys OS 1.50: bug reports

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#1

Firmware 1.50 is now released

Discuss here

Think about updating Transfer app and Overbridge.

Remember to back up before upgrading and even load a new empty project to avoid any damage to your current project.
And avoid upgrading before a gig. :tongue:

You encountered something wrong in the newest OS, reproduced it in a project created since the upgrade and want to check if others can replicate it ?
Here is the place.

Doesnā€™t replace a support ticket, of course, but you might want to check if itā€™s not a feature before declaring a bug :wink:

Please report all bugs via the Support Tickets section on elektron.se if they have not already been confirmed below.

A4 MK2: Stuck on Start-up

A4MK2 Not working after Update to 1.50
#2

Arghhā€¦just updated A4mkii to 1.50 and find that OB no longer communicates. Error on OB, ā€œThe paired device has incompaitible OS version! Pls shutdown your DAW and update OB to a later versionā€

I donā€™t know if this is the proper thread for a bug report, but hereā€™s what I discovered on 1.50C for Analog Four MKII:

There is a minor delay when selecting a track by pressing the track buttons.
Try it: 1) press track 1
2) very quickly, tap track 2 or 3 or whatever

The subsequent track is not highlighted until the button is pressed for maybe half a second.
I believe this used to be instant. Correct me if Iā€™m wrong.
Apologies if this is in the wrong thread.

Would you mind updating to the official firmware and confirming this is still here?
What is in beta should stay in beta ^^

Hi Everyone, I just updated to 1.50 and everything went well up to ā€œupdate complete, restart the deviceā€. Now upon restart itā€™s stuck at the Startup Screen (Elektron Logo and V 1.50 with a C on the left). I tried restarting it again and it wonā€™t progress past that screen. Iā€™ve updated it before without any issues. Any advice?

*EDIT - Nevermind. I left it on for a few minutes and it eventually went through. Note to others :slight_smile:

my analog 4 mki, acting as a master clock with the tempo set to the new pattern mode, does not trigger the first step of the sequence on my model:sample when i first push the play button. it works fine while the tempo is in project mode.

The only bug Iā€™ve encountered so far (hopefully itā€™s a firmware bug and not something going wrong with my hardware) is that when I power on my A4 MKII - ever since updating to 1.50; the LEDs and display all dim immensely for a few seconds before it fully initializes, like itā€™s having a brown out. This did not happen with my RYTM MKII after updating and testing that.

the only bug I found so far in my A4 mkII, in all my patterns, the scale per track was reset to 1x in all the tracks :c

I updated overbridge first, then I used transfer to upgrade my AK to 1.50 - it seems to be stuck on the SUCCESS! REBOOTINGā€™ screenā€¦ Iā€™m afraid to restart itā€¦ I donā€™t remember manually restarting it before, and ā€˜REBOOTINGā€™ sounds like itā€™s going to auto reboot.

Hoping it isnā€™t bricked.

Anybody else experience this?

EDIT: I got antsy and just hard rebooted itā€¦ itā€™s at 1.50 and seems fine lol

It is the official release.
If you tap a track button very quickly, it will not be selected.

Example:

Notice track 2 only gets selected after pressing it for half a second or so.

Perhaps it has always been like this and Iā€™m just noticing it just now.

Works fine over here. Fast tap selects it without issue.

#19

Dang :tired_face:
Iā€™d hate to think it was something with my unit.
Thanks for checking.

#20

Ok Ive found oneā€¦
Step record (standard+Jump mode) records velocity on the Analog Rytm mk2 from external keyboard but it does not record velocity on Analog Four Mk2ā€¦

Edit: it also no longer records velocity when holding a note and pressing key on keyboard

Perhaps try the self test and, if needed, factory or empty reset:

  1. STARTUP MENU
    To access this menu, hold down the [FUNC] key while powering up the Analog Four MKII. From here you can perform a variety of tasks. To choose the different alternatives, press the corresponding [TRIG] key.
    13.1 TEST MODE
    To enter this mode, press the first [TRIG] key. If you have any trouble with your Analog Four MKII and sus- pect it may be due to a hardware problem, you should perform this self-test. No errors should be reported. If you get an error, contact Elektron support or the retailer you bought the Analog Four MKII from.
    13.2 EMPTY RESET
    To perform this operation, press the second [TRIG] key. All kits, patterns, Sounds and songs will be erased. 13.3 FACTORY RESET
    When performing a factory reset on the Analog Four MKII it will overwrite and re-initialize the active proj- ect (including all pattern, kit, sound pool and global data). The +Drive project slot 1 will be overwritten and re-initialized. Sound bank A and B will be overwritten with the factory Sounds. Factory preset patterns, kits, Sounds and settings will be re-initialized.
    If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a +Drive project slot higher than 1 before you perform a factory reset. To perform a factory reset, press [TRIG] key 3.

Same here on MK2
A4 is very slow at boot and take something like a few seconds to get back on its feet
