Introducing Tonverk

I know, I brought it up earlier, just thought I could at least power my keyboard from the TV, which I can’t.

Regarding the ‘holding back of features to release’ later, it’s certainly possible, but a more charitable view on this is that they have a roadmap and decided at what point the product was releasable - knowing what’s coming next.

Doesn’t mean they’re holding anything back, just that they haven’t got to it yet.

Does audio streaming between TV and Android 16 phones via USB work for anyone?

edit: it does not on any of my Elektrons

Should have had USB host like Deluge, Morningstar pedals, Move

Well there’s your problem, I don’t understand why you would try to do anything else while prepping the mutes… in fact, you literally can’t do anything else since you are holding down the FUNC button… you can’t tweak values at all “while prepping the mutes” because you are already the middle of a mute prep operation and values will naturally snap to values when holding FUNC. All that to say, it works as intended. Valuable feature for sure and not a “double edged sword” in any way.

Tonverk arrived. Already sampled a few instruments from Bitwig. Absolutely fantastic machine. After 1h it’s already my favourite Electron box and I had them almost all. The Step Edit is fantastic. Only things that could be improved are startup and loading time as for now (and yes we need an editor for multisampled instruments as you’ve seen with loopop).

Agree to disagree

One great thing not often mentioned is the improvement in build quality. The knobs are totally firm. No wobblydobbly…

btw.: there’s a gap on the left of the stand. The perfect fit for a Polyend mess to bring FX things to insanity level :slight_smile:

No offense, but some ot the stuff this presenter says about multisampling makes no sense… Like the stuff about the amount of notes to sample, that more notes means less timestretching… yet TV has no timestretch…

Maybe future proofing the video

Also increasing the gaps between sampled semitones massively while suggesting it will capture the instrument better

She accidentally moved the encoder up instead of down (lower value = more samples), and with “timestretching” she meant pitch shifting (timestretching is unrelated to multis), that’s all.

yes I know… but I just wanted to point it out, since some people might be mistaken to think actual timestretching is involved… “details matter”… been watching too much Reacher maybe…

The only thing this box now needs is Trash80 in the product-team :wink:

No what I’m saying is that you’re literally and factually using the feature incorrectly and that’s why you’re experiencing unintended consequences, it’s not an agree to disagree kind of thing.

We understand she misspoke, my brain did the auto translation of that auto sampling presentation. The YT comment section will ask the same question for months though, since it is an official and professional presentation from a company known for making extremely precise machines

I decide how I use my instruments, thank you very much. “you’re holding it wrong” does not apply when you’re on stage, or at least the audience will not care for excuses…

This is also probably one of the reasons why Rytm MKII has that single potentiometer… it allows you to twist a knob while you FUNC+MUTE prep stuff without messing it up

Another hour later I still love it but it’s pretty obvious they had to rush… the software is quite unfinished. Really basic functions are missing and I’m not even talking about stretching and slicing but page loop, instrument previews and other really important stuff.

Are you telling me that Elektron doesn’t validate the content of their videos before publishing them?
