All beautiful in my gig, except for the change of pad page when you press fill!!! I need to be able to access mutes and scenes WHILE i am pressing fill. Hope this can be corrected in next upgrade!!
Still dont understand what pads are doing when you press fill…
I have just discovered that when you are pressing FILL , you can access the pad pages double clicking the pages buttons. But it is still annoying and complicated. Pads should be independent of the FILL status!!
Still relearning the different approach between AR and DT/ST. Like relearning how to speak and walk after a coma. This time I take notes. On paper. In a journal. The printed manual (have them printed at epubli as a5 spiral books, they even make the cover colored and inside is slightly brownish thin book paper) helps, too.
The one LFO and simple Euclidean sequencer to me is like a test thing/proof of concepts. Everything is modulatable via CC. So I guess it will be some Max for Live sequencer with lots of sequencer logic and polyrhythmic modulation (since the AR does not have independent midi lanes). Or an AR/DT combo. Although the MacBookAir 11“ from 2013 is much smaller and can record all instruments separately.
I like the sound of the LPF for each instrument. Are they analogue or the same as kn the DT?
An A/B test of a few patterns revealed one noticable change after the update if anyone is interested. After the update the Bass Tom decay/sustain is longer/louder and release is shorter I think? Maybe this has something to do with the new pitch enevelope for the Bass Tom. Nothing that the AMP envelope can’t address. In these clips below you can also hear the BT triggering differently (properly) at the start of the second bar with the 1.7 update
Yes, sounds slightly (!) unbalanced in terms of volume after the update. (maybe I just fall for the prompt Nothing that some tweaks couldn’t fix just as you mentioned - but if you have a whole library of ready and finished tracks for live shows on the device that might be of some annoyance. I think it would cost too much resources at Elektron to improve the conversion of existing tracks and kits for marginal improvement of the situation of very few users. A warning to users with that situation should suffice?
The warm up Calibration should be done at room temperature like it says in the last updated manual. You should, at least, turn it off for 20 minutes before the Calibration.
