I remember when Ford called me to announce they’d dropped their prices after I had already bought a car and to issue me the difference.

I say people who are not happy with their TV’s should return them immediately. The more people show that they are okay with buying unfinished products to give companies an advance to fix bugs, the earlier and earlier they will release them and with more and more bugs

Just vote with yer wallets, kids

You can live without the shortstack Elektron box

Indeed. Sticking to the topic would negate this nonsense.

Hej everyone, we know some of you have run into frustrating bugs on Tonverk since its launch, and we’ve been working hard to get them sorted. A new OS (1.0.1) is planned for Monday, September 29, addressing several issues.

One of the main bugs identified after launch is around the MIDI timing jitter leading to sync issues and Auto Sampler latency (these are related and will be solved at the same time). If this fix doesn’t make it to 1.0.1, a second update will follow hot on its heels in October, alongside a handful of other improvements.

The idea of Tonverk is to create a melodic, open-ended instrument - which leads to many new use cases - and therefore also new unforeseen test scenarios. It’s also the first device on this new software platform and as much as we tried to mitigate any problems for launch, we’re sorry if the excitement around it has been dampened in any way.

These are just Tonverk’s first steps and exciting new features are already lined up. Its platform opens up huge possibilities, and we can’t wait to share them with you (some of you have already found an easter egg in there). But first - bug squashing is our prio!

Thanks for bearing with us. Your feedback, especially here on Elektronauts, is invaluable in making Tonverk stronger for everyone.

A proof that your Voices are heard and listened to. Thanks for the communication @Elektron, I think it’s the best way to make your customers happy.

Awesome! Looking forward to the update!

Cool, thank you for the heads up :slight_smile:

I have a feeling that this message is going to get lost due to the communication provided by Elektron people. However, these are words of wisdom! It is so simple, yet it seems that the simplest of thruths are the most difficult to get

Businesses exist only due to customers moving their hard-earned money from their own pockets into companies’ bank accounts. Any transaction of this sort is basically a gesture of appreciation for a product/service received. Discussions do not hurt businesses, a lack of profit does. So if one has already said ā€œyesā€ with their fun coupons, basically it is seen as a green light for whatever behavior displayed by a business at that moment. We shall not forget that we also have a ā€œnoā€ option

I don’t know where you are at your personal growth, but I don’t think it’s lost on most people that they don’t have to buy or keep a product they don’t want.

Also another question:
How do you guys examine the presets for tonverk (If you do at all).
There’s so much that could be going on that I’m having a hard time figuring out what does what. I imagine overbridge would be good for this, although I’ve never actually used it on any of the other elektron boxes I own :face_with_peeking_eye:

For those who own TV, so with multisampled instruments, can you sustain notes?

what are the easter eggs :eyes:

There’s a granulator in one of the presets.

Not like a granulator. You’d need to record long notes.

its good to hear from elektron regarding the bug fix… i wonder if the growing rumble of people starting to return them had anything to do with it… in all honesty i had expected some sort of statement earlier.
i do expect it’ll be a decent device at some point,…(i’m sure i’ll buy one.). and their next release wont be such a shit show as it’ll be built upon tonverk groundwork … but i would warn everyone … the next time they launch a new platform … remember what happened with digitakt and tonverk … the experience of digitakt was obviously not ā€˜learnt’ … theyve done it again with tonverk.

good luck to everyone next week.

Ok thanks…
I’m kind of struggling to understand as I am a keys player first…
If I were to play a mutlisampled instrument like I play keys, I can only do ā€œplucksā€? Like I can’t hold a note?

Well it depends on the sample, but no, you should in general be able to hold a note. Check your amp envelope
