Drum sound not audible (bug?)

Mesak · 2016-12-13T21:44:56.277Z

sure thing.

sound was coming out ok in the soundcheck. after the gig started there was no sound until i once tapped the BD pad and that cured the problem instantly.

AdamJay · 2016-12-13T21:47:57.797Z

Was/is there anything coming into the MIDI input of the Rytm?

Yeah so I just tested this, much like the trick with “locking” perf mode pads, you can do it when triggering from a pad when you switch page at the same time as holding the trig. It will not release until you re-trig it manually with either pad or trig button. This seems like a bug to me, since we have mutes explicitly for this.

Edit: though not sure I want it “fixed” if we lose the Perf mode trick.

that scans like a good catch - can’t try myself, but if it gets confirmed by another user it’s certainly worth flagging to support

I had something similar. I trigger some sounds with an SPD-S. I have some trigs on the rytm sequencer and want, for ex, add some toms to those already playing…
not possible!
I mean, I can play from the spd-s and it’s ok, but the sequenced trigs sound disappears until I play them from the rytm pads…

Sometimes I had also with kick track.

Not easy for me to work like that on a live situation. But I need to do that for a project.

We are trying with Elektron( Olle) to find what’s the problem or if it’s a bug or what….

Strange behavior, I hope we will find soon.

I’ve noticed this too, seems like a bug.

there’s definitely a OS bug in there somewhere. Had it just the other day on the BD track with one of the 1.31 RCs - there just wouldn’t come a sound from that voice.

No idea how to reproduce, so dunno…

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?

sovietpop · 2018-06-24T20:12:43.323Z

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…

sovietpop · 2018-06-24T20:22:52.707Z

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.

Daisuk · 2018-08-24T10:39:29.835Z

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.

blacklodgeal · 2018-12-13T17:48:03.787Z

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.

Richinlaw · 2019-11-28T10:21:23.342Z

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.
