DT bug reports - OS 1.02

I would also like to be able to zoom in on samples in the “SRC” section similar to when I am cropping the original sample. This will help me create better sample loops points with out pops…

That being said the pops can add charm but not always wanted.

Yikes…

Does the DT have a usb 3 jack? Are you using usb 3 cables?

Maybe it has something to with sample normalization process and volume peaks of the source? Or do you mean the same sound gets sampled differently among several takes

Is there anyway to turn off a conditional trig? It looks once you turn it on, your stuck choosing from conditional trugs and can’t scroll it off… maybe I’m missing something?

Same way you turn off any plock: Hold down the trig, Trig page, press and release (D). I find in 1.02 I have to do this a few times, because it is hard to press and not turn it at the same time.

gotcha thanks.

I used no midi or usb .

Im not sure if this is meant to work this way without overbridge. I would expect any audio over usb is dependant on overbridge being available,

feels like we just invested in a beta product for now… I sure hope they packed enough processing power in there to get this thing stable and working at some point. Seems they underestimated the complexity of implementing software vs established production-grade hardware components in the other machines… That said I’m still vouching for the DT and hoping it will be stabilised

ah, even though i own the other elektron gear and they have similar interface i would never guess it in this situation. Imp/Exp is not a nested menu hence this doesnt make sense. You also have direct access to either the pattern menu or the imp/exp menu so this is a interface issue imo

yer i found a new one for 600 euro but still not sure I want to commit right now considering the issues. great price though.

when not using the midi tracks it seems to be pretty stable. I think once they fix the midi implementation it should all be fine - i believe they are aware of this and working on it.

Assuming that overbridge is still to be released for DT i expect some significant fixes and improvemnts

yer there is still that small concern in the back of my head…what if there is an inherent hardware issue that cannot be resolved with firmware. unlikely, but still a small risk. I am very risk adverse.

So far mine seems pretty stable although I am not interested in DAW integration, so I can’t comment on any issues WRT. I had a couple of crashes, ome when doing a transfer, and one when trying to select all then copy samples, the transfer app also seems to be a bit picky as to whether it will recognise the DT on my computer.
Win7, the device manager sees the DT fine, as does C6 but the transfer app does not always, resulting in a few swearing, unpligging and rebooting cycles.

I’m not 100% convinced of some of the UI choices, sure these are down to personal preference, but so far it seems too easy to accidentally change sample, navigation is sometimes a little inconsistent, and some of the graphics could do with a tweak. The audio editor is ok, the loop scheme is a bit weird, the browser is similar to (analog) Elektron machines so if you are a fan of that (I’m not, I prefer the OT browser) you will probably like it.

Overall though all things considered its not a bad little machine, nowhere near the Octatrack but that is no bad thing in my book., I like them both for different things.

Imp/Exp is a submenu of the pattern menu. It does make sense, as it’s consistent with the settings menu (which, as far as I can tell, is the only other nested menu on the machine right now)

Pressing FUNC+[…] is basically a shortcut which says “open the pattern menu and navigate to the import/export submenu”.

Pressing just […] says “if the menu is not visible, open the pattern menu in the state it was in the last time you opened it”, where imp/exp is one of the options. If you press the button while it’s open, it does “hide the menu but remember the nested submenu state you were in”

To go up in the navigation hierarchy, press the NO button. Press it repeatedly to fully navigate out of a menu - three times is the deepest nesting I know of.

It’s logical - adapt to it. Pretty sure this will not get fixed :wink:

Got it, I didn’t see it there at the end of the patterns menu. I’m fine with it now that I know but a good interface should not need so much back and fourth. Until you responded I was restarting my machine to get it back. A good interface is driven by users. If we can’t figure it out easily its probably not ideal.

I would remove the impor/export as a sub menu from patterns since you have direct access to it by fn + … I don’t see how its logical that once toggled fn + … and … take you to the same place. counterintuitive interface

Personally I think in this case it hinders rather than helps workflow, it seems redundant to have the imp/exp in (in effect) 2 places, the shortcut makes it very simple to get at, so I do not see the need to have it in the pattern menu as well, given that it creates a bit of extra menu diving on what is a direct and simple machine.

I agree though that it is unlikely to be changed, and that it is not really an issue once you get used to it, still the decision seems a bit daft - I totally get your point about exiting a menu then returning where you left off when returning to the menu, although I’m not so sure that it is a real need when the shortcut is already there in this particular case, and imp/exp does not really come under the scope of pattern management jobs.
