Unable to record in PB AT MW to MIDI Tracks of Digis

I m talking about 2 things:

  1. Synth track unable to recording those
  2. Midi tracks do have the possibility to recording those, but even didn’t react to

The 2nd one about midi track really disappointed!

I will do that!
I post here for woke more user submitted a support ticket or feature request to them, maybe they will thinking about fix it

As much as I love my DT, I’ve experienced similar woes when it comes to pitch bend and mod wheel messages. I wouldn’t mind them not being recorded if they at least were passed through from MIDI in to MIDI out, but they are completely filtered out by the DT. I’m often live playing my synths with a Keystep with lots of pitch bend so I end up having to avoid the DT completely for this MIDI connection.

Have you tried with more exclamation marks?

You should try Octatrack! The real midi central of elektron box, PB MW could be played and recorded in midi track.

according to @sezare56 in the recent thread:

where here he is referring to ableton, but this is not ableton specific information. I haven’t tried it yet, but you can see that maybe there is a way to pass the midi cc data which is just not yet envisioned.

a lot of unnecessary hurt feelings about gear and midi potential can be avoided just by searching a bit and I hope this works for you.

I agree that this PBATMWBC behavior is unacceptable in 2023. Are Digis still relevant ? :content:

This goes all the way back to the sfx6 ps

Exactly. I don’t know how much incentive they would have to fix a “problem” that helps separate the top-tier OT sequencer from the lower Digi line. It’s kinda like complaining that the DT has mono sampling versus the OT being stereo…
Also, if you have an OT, why not use that to record those midi messages?

If we are talking about midi tracks I’m in! I just figured out I can control not only pedals but also the 404MKII’s EFXs from my DN. Mind blown!!

This!
Is!
Awesome!

I just want to use digi trinity setup, I use ot with my mnm and md, or analog duo.
Since os1.50, I am beginning to believe dt was the small one “pillar of the performance”, but reality beat me hardly! So far, dt has long way to go to catch up immortal ot!

After they release the new star ST, dt has to face a awkward position as a one shot sampler and drum machine, maybe elektron has realize that, so we got 1.50

Yep, around $700 :slight_smile:

I don think elektron should limits those basic functions to divide the product line and protection the ot’s primary position, ot has lot of features: real time sampling and playback, looper, effects chain, x-fader……those things we don’t expect dt to catch up, but limit PB and MW?
It’s like Benz want to increase the sell of S-line, so they decided to cancel the Rearview mirror of C line.

If you want to go with that analogy… I think it’s more along the lines of the flagship S-Class has the auto-dimming and navigation prompting rearview mirror, and the C-Class has the standard rearview mirror, because features like that are what allow Mercedes to sell luxury cars at a premium. Owners of C-Class sedans aren’t owed S-Class features just because they exist. The S-Class ammenities might trickle down into the lower models over time, but by then there are a whole heap of new features that only the flagship model (OT MkIII?) will have.

Point being: nothing is owed to you.

I don’t think I got the issue, is the issue that Digis can’t receive PB/AT/MW or can’t send PB/AT/MW?
because I’m pretty sure I used this and they do send and receive all of these just unable to record them…

Try midi track

Depends on the prism you’re using, really.

The reason why they would want to “fix” that functionality is because the OT has to go EOL one day due to parts and the codebase will necessarily shift to the Digi OS.

The “benefit” of segregated features is twofold, yes it creates tiers but really, mostly it prevents devs from having to cross-test every feature on every platform simultaneously, worry about optimizing older platforms and refactoring them (like how they have suggested that the Rytm is reaching the limits of what can be packed in further.)

The complaint as i understand it is the live recording of the data AND filtering out, at least it sounds as if there is a workaround for the latter.

Always find people shouting about things like this so rudely rather strange.

A device breaking prematurely is unacceptable. A device not having a specific feature you need is not. Awkward and annoying, sure, but not unacceptable.

Being rude about it and ordering the company not to make excuses will get you nowhere.
