Analog Four/Keys OS 1.50A: bug reports

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#44

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.

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.

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

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).

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

No problems since I upgraded to 1.50a. :+1:

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

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.

Thanks, but why does it not do it sometimes?
also it’s not ideal when using fx track as midi track as I was doing tbh

#62

Hm, my AK does it always like that.
Could it be timing related?
But I agree, it’s not ideal when using the FX as an external midi track, I also had to get used to the double click…

Usually, you’re editing a track and need to adjust FX parameters and come back to the track.
The track led stays lit to remind you which track it was so you can come back to it easily.
I find it rather useful.

It might depend if you are Live Recording or not, or maybe just editing the audio track parameters.
I can’t tell right now.

when I turn up the reverb send when playing a chord the A4 had some Audio dropouts, even tho every level of reverb fx is turned down, when opening the send, the chord starts crackling!

someone?
