Ah, ok. I thought it must’ve been brought up at some point.

Analog 4 mk2 LFO Free mode / Trig Issue . Bug?

Hello elektronauts I bought the mk2 before two weeks ( I had the mki for about 3 years) and I noticed a weird behavior at the lfo. I play a chord with quantized recording so all the triggers are synced and when I increase the F1 frequency it affects the sound like it is arped. After that when I switch it to the trig mode its ok and when I switch it back to free mode it works as it should be as then it is synced. It is strange because it shouldn’t separate the notes of a chord as they all played…

mine A4 surely messes up the polyphony and the lfo.

Bug, Analog Keys: On the CV track when I try to access the CV settings of the „B“ slot it brings me to the „A“ slot when pressing shift+button.
I can only access the settings by going to the „A“ slot and then pressing the button for CV „B“ without pressing shift (already in the secondary function submenu)

[avantronica]

it’s not a bug, but it absolutely bugs me too (frequently), it’s been that way since the beginning - it’s very annoying as a user interface - you’re only meant to use fn+ once but it’s counter intuitive - i’d be interested to hear what they say if you report

[JohnnyEgo]

can someone confirm that trigless trigs won‘t affect anything when holding down notes either with the mini keys or anything like a midi keyboard controlling the voices externally!?

i just want to play poly chords but having the track(s) modulating just some parameter changes…not to complicated I guess.

someone?

[garf]

it’s not supposed to work, so is not considered a bug.
but there are some interesting workarounds…

Parameter lock without triggering the note?

hi. ive not found, how to parameter lock the sequencer on the keys without setting trigger for notes. like “func and trig” on the digitone and digitakt … does parameter lock without trig work on the keys? thx

So I’m using the CV and FX tracks on my AK to play and sequence external synths and if I hold a note on one of those tracks then change track the note latches until I return to the midi track and press the key again. However, the latching will return if I play another note and the only way to stop it is to press stop twice to end all midi note messages. This didn’t happen in 1.40 so I’m assuming it’s a result of the midi forwarding introduced in 1.50. Is anyone else able to replicate this and is there a way to turn off this midi forwarding if that’s what’s causing it?

TLDR midi notes getting stuck when changing tracks.

Anyone else see the bars:beats in the upper right of the Edit Song Mode screen exhibit major swing while playing back a song? I don’t think I have any global swing set anywhere. And playback is (thankfully) rock steady. I just thought it odd.

@LunarSatellite

Song mode isn’t working right, it will not progress to the next line, simply stops playing after the first line.

This is old, so you probably figured it out. But if you’re in Song Mode Edit, the Song Mode button actually has two shades of blue: light and dark. You can toggle between them by pressing the Song Mode button again.

When dark blue, everything works as expected. But when light blue, song mode is disabled and playback won’t move to the next line.

Helpful thanks

Here’s a video of some errant knob behavior interrupting my ability to map a mod destination on the Modwheel page:

1.50a bugs — interruptions while mapping modulations

This sort of behavior has been present on a few different screens (macro mappings as well as occasional jittering of perf macros on the macros page).

[garf]

Have you checked in test mode? Could be a faulty encoder

[tnussb]

This doesn’t look like a bug, but a hardware problem (my A4 doesn’t behave like this and I haven’t seen any similar reports here).

I would contact Elektron support.

@garf

Have you checked in test mode?

In test mode, there’s occasionally a single additional step that occurs following releasing a knob, but not constant shifting as seen in the first/ destination mapping clip:

test mode — encoders

@tnussb

a hardware problem (my A4 doesn’t behave like this and I haven’t seen any similar reports here).

Ah ok, hmm.

The reason I thought it was a software issue is the fact that this errant behavior isn’t present on all screens.

[caramellokoala]

Trig preview doesn’t appear to be working on midi tracks anymore. Unless I’m mistaken and that was never a feature but I seem to remember using it.

Anyone still having the mk2 boot freeze on OS 1.5a?

I just got delivery of up a 2nd hand A4 mk2 and it kept freezing on boot. Turns out its on OS 1.5 n i then read about the issue on the forum.

Im gonna update the OS when i get home and hope for the best. Self test is all Ok.

@pidgeo

Anyone still having the mk2 boot freeze on OS 1.5a?

No problems since I upgraded to 1.50a.

[pidgeo]

thanks, great to hear

Sometimes when I press fx I have to press it twice to select the track properly,
Last time it was selecting first press? I can’t understand why it’s doing this sometimes

[jenne]

This is normal, and has been like that for quite some time I believe.
With the first press, you can edit the FX parameters, but still play the previously selected track (3 in your case). Only with the second press you select the FX track exclusively.
