Hej,
We wanted to share an update on Tonverk. Many of you are already exploring its creative range, which is great. We also want to acknowledge those most affected by the current issues. You’ve asked for clearer updates, and we plan to raise our game in that regard.
Some issues on Tonverk were addressed in 1.0.1, and right now we’re deep into resolving the MIDI jitter issue. Progress is looking good here, and we have already corrected some other prominent bugs. Work continues as we line up 1.0.2, expected later this month, and the following OS versions.
Why does Tonverk have MIDI jitter, and why hasn’t it been fixed yet?
Despite extensive pre-launch testing that we conduct for all products, sometimes critical bugs only surface at or just after release. In Tonverk’s case, a late-stage optimisation introduced side effects that caused the jitter and some other unexpected issues. Tonverk is unlike anything we’ve built before, and launching on a completely new platform means treading new ground in many ways. As a result, solutions to problems are rarely straightforward.
Nevertheless, we want to say sorry for the rough edges some of you have encountered early on. We’ve navigated one or two of these moments before - stress dreams from the Octatrack and Digitakt launches spring to mind - but it’s very much an Elektron trait to turn such challenges into epic journeys not defined by their beginning. We’re confident the issues on Tonverk will be fully resolved very soon, and that its own adventure is only just beginning.
Thank you again for your patience, feedback, and support as we work on it being as good as it can be. We’ll be back with more info soon.
We’ve really enjoyed so much of the awesome Tonverk music and sound that is being created and shared, and though we’re sure most have seen it already, That Tonverk Sound is an excellent place to check out.
The Elektron Team
