Drum sound not audible (bug?)

Zac_Kyoti · 2017-04-21T04:53:31.611Z

I’ve most definitely encountered this bug. I’ve only seen it happen on the bass drum. Haven’t been able to reproduce, but tapping the BD pad always makes it sound again. While it’s inaudible, you can still see the trigs firing off, just no sound.

Has this been taken care off? Ive got the latest firmware and today the snare drum just vanished - and it wouldnt return even though i tried to manually trig it from the buttons (but the sn light was flashing like described above. I tried to switch between kits etc but nothing. Had to do a factory reset and than it came back, than i made the same midi/clock settings (voice channels are ate always off as i prefer the elektron sequencer…)and slaved the rytm again to my social entropy engine. What happened? This has never happened before, luckily I didnt lose anything valuable as ive only had the machine for couple of weeks… but the thing that scares me is that the sound did not return when I tried to trigger it by finger… anyone else had this happening?

Same problem here ,
Base drum just disappeared and there is nothing i can do but load another project.
Loosed 2 pattern already.

EDIT :
After tweaking some params i can hear the sound but its very low.
Only way to fix it is to load another project…

Ok so everytime i save a project the damn BD just vanish !
Talk about a nasty bug…

sovietpop · 2018-06-24T20:33:30.937Z

Ok, looks like i have only the bug when my Rytm is connected via USB to the computer but no Overbridge plugin or anything. When i save the project every parameters of the BD are mess up and the only way to fix it is reset sound track or load another project.
I have disconnected my Rytm from the computer.

Did this get fixed? I’m experiencing it too. Very, very annoying.

Open_Mike · 2018-09-06T17:49:41.003Z

I’ve noticed that if you send the low midi note track voice trig (separate voice trig using one midi channel) and your (not) parameter on the trig page is not 0, the sequencer trigs get muted for that track until you hit its pad… Have not filed ticket…

Daisuk · 2018-09-10T18:56:33.039Z

Hmmm, my problem seem to be different. Suddenly some pads just won’t make a sound, neither when receiving MIDI or when I hit them. I sometimes have to turn the AR off and on, and sometimes it works to just reload the drumrack in Live. It’s really odd.

Having the same issue here, only on the BD. Anyone else still having this issue? Is it a software problem?

darenager · 2018-12-13T18:56:00.670Z

Might be worth trying to determine if it is only certain BD machine(s) or if all/multiple types are affected, for example it could be to do with the way the sound is configured, this kind of issue can sometimes occur in sounds which rely on an impulse to excite a self oscillating filter, if the oscillation decays completely away sometimes it needs to be ‘jump started’ again. Once the impulse is sent through the filter a few times it brings it back into oscillation, so it could be that the act of tapping the pad again is enough to re-initiate the oscillation and therefore make the BD audible again.

Note: I don’t know if this method is used in any of the AR BD machines but it could be worth finding out, or it could be of a similar nature, just a theory but possibly a starting point in troubleshooting it.

Hi everyone

Did this ever get resolved? Had the machine for less than a week and this has happened three nights in a row.

rgarner · 2019-11-28T12:35:46.953Z

Can confirm. This has happened on several tracks at different times. It’s never clear what resolves it, just somehow warms up.

However, on one project, I lost all pads, can’t seem to get any of them back, checked levels in every page etc. I’ve just written that project off.

rgarner · 2019-11-28T13:55:01.282Z

I’m suffering from this problem today; on starting the unit up, it takes a while for all the pads to become available. The snare is last to come on, but BD doesn’t come on at all. Reloading the project brings it to life, but not reloading the sound or the kit.

Same here only my CH 9 plays when I tap the dum pad. Seems like tapping drumpads dont work only hard round buttons do.

yobkiss · 2020-12-31T20:04:09.145Z

I’ve had the same issue on the BD. Reloading from the old state seems to recover it. It happened while I was messing around with triggers.

Holygroover · 2021-04-11T00:24:55.298Z

I think I’m having the same issue as everyone else. My kick is playing fine but the trigs I laid down on the snare and claps aren’t registering. Checked to make sure mutes weren’t on. Removed the trigs and laid them down again. Nothing. The corresponding pads are making sounds fine when I tap them, no issue there – just nothing playing in the sequencer. Other tracks seem to trigger fine, so far it’s just the two not playing. I’m using samples, machines are disabled (kick is a combo sample/machine and playing just fine; samples loaded on other tracks working fine).

Man, this is extremely disconcerting! I just switched over to the MK2 (Black) and this is one of the first things I discover. Latest firmware loaded. WTF?? I never experienced anything like this on my MK1 and now I’m really missing it…

3rdspace · 2021-04-28T03:21:48.605Z

Just picked up a MKII and I’m experiencing this too. Very disconcerting - would love to hear from anyone at Elektron on plans to fix, given it affects many people.

Check AMP page and ATK parameter

Dpatin · 2021-10-01T16:01:37.783Z

I know this is an old topic but I wanted to share how I just fixed this issue. I was having certain pads randomly stop working while playing my AR MK2 . For me it was pads 1,2,and 5. I started looking for any parameters that might have been changed by a bug and I found that somehow there were 2 scenes, pads 1 and 2 were purple and 2 was lit up because it was active. I changed it back to scene 1 and my sounds came back. Hope this helps.

Dpatin · 2021-10-01T16:04:53.961Z

I just cleared the scenes and now no issues.
