Or the Play button unintentionally ? I haven’t done it yet whilst playing at home…but just wondering whether it might be a good idea to have live performance “stop and play safe” settings which would require say a modifier key to bring things to a pause or halt.
Especially seeing as the combo for live plock recording is rec + play while the sequencer is running.
i think it’s a good idea as an option, whilst some don’t need it, i occasionally try a copy or paste command out that is not valid and inadvertently press stop as a consequence
the consequences of accidental stop with the OT are more troubling than with other gear imo
a modifier option(s) like Yes + Stop for live safeguards would be a nice and easy fix, but i doubt there’d be much demand, i’m in !
yeah…it just seems slightly nuts to me to have an unprotected stop button right bang in the middle of live performance controls, when as you say it would be such a simple fix.
I’ve done it a few times during live performance. I typically immediately crank my space or other effect unit into heavily wet zones and then fill up some space with the op1 for a minute before hitting play again. It’s usually slightly awkward but at least adds a sense of tension/build up before resuming.
It’s usually only an issue if I’m trying to clear track page settings too fast on the OT. I would love a safety net though.
I have done it once… lucky for me it was with a full band, so the music didn’t suddenly stop and people barely noticed it. a safety option would be appreciated.
Happened to me once years ago using a Sequentix P3 sequencer - so I asked for (and received) a “safe stop” mode, which really helped. It’s also in Cirklon, which I use as master clock now anyway. Always thought the Elektron transport keys were in an unusual order compared to other stuff. Part of the charm, I guess.
