[BUG] MIDI trig condition lost when switching pattern

[KaB1]

Hello, I’ve noticed a bug while working on the OT, here are the repro steps:

• Set a trig condition to 2:2 on a MIDI step to play the note only the second time.
• Switch to a different Pattern, and then come back to the previous one.

Result: the MIDI step will now play the note only the first time, as if the trig condition was set to 1:2 (settings still shows 2:2).

Is it known? Am I doing something wrong and it’s not a bug?

Thanks for help

PS: FIrmware is 1.30D

Edit, problem identified: the trig conditions are affected by the account of cycles of any pattern you’re in, so if the tracks have different scales in some patterns, this is most likely going to cause issues.

I presume if you double stop the second before playing the first it is working fine, sounds like it’s to do with the accounting of cycles which happens at a pattern end. Maybe, haven’t looked

Yes, I managed to fix it by setting the same track’s scale on each pattern.
This is a bit weird tho, I’d expect the trig condition to reset when changing pattern and not to take in account the cycle number from the previous one. I wonder if this is configurable somewhere.

Sure

I wonder if this is configurable somewhere.

Trig Conditions came with an update. No menu concerning them directly.

Similar issue on this thread:

TRCs and One Shots not triggering in Arranger with 1/2 Master scale

This is just on the OT. The A4 is only to reference why I’m using 1/2 scale. I can replicate by having two rows on arranger, both 1/2 master scale. the first pass on the second row will not play one shots, “1st” or a “1 of #” like “1 of 2” but it will play “2 of 2.” It’s like the first time through already happened though of course it hasn’t.

Octatrack: The Arranger and One-Shot Trigs

Okay I had a look at this where I stripped out everything to narrow it down (no neighbours, no tracks apart from the two to trigger backing samples, no arranger even) Edit: oh and short samples, so this isn’t even about the logistics of long backing tracks This is what I found: Conditional “1st” trigs do NOT trig as expected IF the scale mode is ‘per track’ and the master multiplier is 1/2 or less The trig on the first pattern you play works okay, but not any pattern switched to after that L…

Gotcha, thanks for the answers. Hopefully Elektron’s engineers find a way to fix that soon.

I wonder if it’s buggy with other products with TRC…

I got through another case today where it’s causing issues. The more pattern you get, the more it affects your work. This is honestly a serious issue.
