I always let it warm. Sometimes though it just gets out of tune somehow…
still not sure I need a boog after having spent some time with my SE-02… The lack of patch memory is a biggie

It’s not as hard as you think. And it’s not an excuse to do nothing.
I thought that at first, too, but it also changed how I look at the D. The lack of patch memory forces me to see the D more as an instrument like a guitar than a magic sound computer. It also has forced me to learn to use it in a way I would not have if it had patch memory.
I wouldn’t want this for all of my gear, but I really have ended up benefitting from the limitations.
I can relate to that. Something very reward about it for sure.
But for me personally, without patch mem I am SOL unless I nail what I’m doing in that same session. And with time being my biggest enemy these days, that happens very rarely if ever for me…

I thought the ‘no patch memory’ was more of an issue than it really is (for me anyway) until I started using outboard analog gear for processing. Then it became pretty straight forward… if it’s important, take a picture of it. Pretty much everyone has a smartphone within 2’ of reach these days.
The D is a pretty simple synth and it’s not like there’s dozens of sub menus you’ll forget to document. It’s not that fiddly either. You’ll quickly get 95% back and maybe (if anything) a few minor tweaks to get the exact sound back. Besides, you probably don’t want the identical sound anyway, else you wouldn’t be recalling it to change. 
If in doubt, take a quick pic of it and move on. There’s even this great FREE VST plugin to document your settings within the DAW as an insert on that audio channel.

couldnt agree more, I relate the model D more to something like my bass guitar or an upright bass. What you see is what you get and if you want a certain sound you need to know how to get it like changing strings, putting foam under it, using pick vs finger…etc.

I dont use smartphones nor DAWs at home
I agree, with outboard, the controls are usually stepped and easily reproducable, but on synths I struggle with recall heavily. Just my preference, YMMV
Having perfect recall is one of the key features of elektron boxes for me. It means I can tweak my patches and patterns during every sound check and monitoring environment, little by little towards a point where everything eventually starts to “sound like a record”. That stuff pays off big time, and ensures a consistent sound between shows.

Totally get that sentiment.
Yep, definitely a ‘YMMV’. I’m all about the DAW and will never play a show live (zero interest for me). I just make bleeps and bloops largely for myself and for fun. Whatever works!

Nice! You can almost fool yourself that you got the real deal when you got that one 
Mhmmm what could that be?
Mentioned morph a few times… Maybe a Model D keyboard? Or maybe they’re gonna start putting a small brown Plasticine model in the packaging for each Model D?
Fantastic trailers and videos too! It’s nice to see they’re self aware and not totally up their own arse.

The development of the warp drive was recognized by the United Federation of Planets as the marker of an advanced society. It was only after a people developed warp drive that the Federation made contact
