Did you install the new OB version? They released a new version for the 1.70 update.
Fuck me, that acoustic BD is Hard. It’s like a 707 kick, but from hell.

of course i updated, and tried 3 different cables, two of which are well kept cables that came with elektrons. I’m stumped and I’m usually good with troubleshooting

The Euclid is kinda random generator on its own, does it need a extra button for randomization?

I’m seriously “praying” 
that they do the update for the Analog Four mkII too, that would be awesome…go Elektron go…go

This update proves that companies like Elektron are actually trying to implement sustainability in the synthesizer market.
…
I think this gives hope

Anybody got a timeline of all if elektrons updates to their devices?
Would be curious if there is a pattern…
Gnarly!! Really looking forward to trying out the SID machine.
When I read about the calibration I was a bit worried it would change the sound of the DVCO, I love its mild “out of tuneness”. Then I read this on the elektronauts fb group.
“Fair warning. After the 1.70 Calibration, your prior kits with dual VCO will sound quite different.”
is it very noticeable?
Wow, thx, updating!

I don’t think so. The entire pattern resets when it loops so the notes start over from the beginning along with the euclidean pattern. It would be amazing to have them loop independently. Maybe a third euclidean mode could allow that in a future firmware?

This keeps tripping me up, too. Especially with the green.
One of the most common places to hold down “Fill,” at least for me, is just as I’m about to mute or unmute something. So I hope it gets ironed out soon.
Thinking about it more…, To me, Page Loop makes more sense as a combo button than a single-button function like Fill, or a menu-dive, since you’d want to be able to access it quickly. It’d be nice if there were a way to latch it.
Is there already a function for Track + Fill?

Yes - each purple step is a ‘shortcut’ directly to the sequentially numbered steps (with trigs or not) that are present on the ‘normal track’
So if your EUC seeding has 4 trigs playing, it’s not rotating through four trigs from that track, then the next four and so on - it’s literally that the first euclidean active step will play the first step position on the 'normal pattern (trig on it or not, if not then track sound used)
So you always start from the left and work through the steps, the only way to reach and loop from the end is for every euclidean seed trig to be active - so it’s just a linear playthrough - you are not scanning and looping through teh underlying steps, you are playing specific steps from the underlying pattern, from the beginning (unless rotated of course)
This will make sense when you ‘print’ a euclidean pattern back into position or use p-locks on euclidean steps – any apparent ‘gaps’ between euclidean steps are non-existent on the underlying pattern … if you p-lock the first EUC step, you are actually p-locking step 1 from the pattern, the next EUC step is step 2 from pattern (again, if not rotated)
There’s therefore a consistency with what you are acting on in real terms … you are just windowing in on a part of it and changing the temporal position of the elements in the window - it means you can shrink and grow the window but it’s always stored temporarily in the pattern as a different ‘normal’ pattern (until printed)
I guess you can linearly step through the underlying p-locked pattern if you had a one pulse and rotated after each step is played, this way the window is moving step by step along, but this is not an automate-able thing - in any case, the possibilities with all the other parameter locks and TRCs etc is mindboggling - it all makes more sense after a few plays

Fantastic description, thank you!
Perhaps adding this feature to the arpeggiator makes more sense. Will have to think about that more and not get too off topic…

What a fantastic update! It makes the AR even more playable than it already was. The raw synth delivers exactly the amount of noise I need. Until now I always had to do that with samples. Noise in combination with overdrive, distortion and compression takes this machine to the next level. I don’t need samples anymore, I can now just do it with the machines, which is a big plus for me. In this example, I use the acoustic kick, the chip synth for the bass line (with Euclidean mode), the raw synth for the noise rumble and the hi-hats withe the labs.

pretty obtuse question from someone who doesn’t really fathom the mathematics involved:
with the euclid stuff could it harness/translate values over 16 with the 384 mt positions?
Yes, I was very surprised by some of the audio quality changes on my old tracks. I don’t think I mind it at all.
