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

[thermionic]

@DonovanDwyer

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

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.)

@alechko

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…

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.

My point exactly.

like this?

@thermionic

there is a workaround for the latter.

A limited workaround, only for CCs. You can control Digis CC values (FILTER page) with external CCs 70-77.

These can be mapped to CC 1-119 in AMP page, hence Modulation Wheel and Breath Controller (CC2).

Can be recorded.

At least it would be interesting to have CCs to control PB AT MW BC directly.

I think this thread can be merged here

Miserable git's general and non-specific (but very inclusive) whingeing thread - If you've got thoughts about stuff, I'm your guy

Are you feeling a sudden and burning desire to start another thread about how much you want a new MD/MnM/OT MK3? Got some questions about whether or not a particular thing is relelvant in whatever year it is? Just can’t help but pop up in unrelated threads to tell everyone how shit you think Syntakt is? Still have some of that leftover songmode anger you need to blame on something? Well now I proudly present to you, the mindless synth consumer, the solution to all your (many) problems with t…

[Kegeratorz]

Not mine though, I was all positive and shit!

To all those guy saying negative thoughts about this thread:
I just want say one thing: the midi track of digi box has already got 4 data knob for pb mw at bc, but no reaction to income midi messages of those, if you thinks that is normal, congratulations! I am not your kind of person! I bought all box from elektron to support their business, I pointed out that I thought they should do better not just for myself, it wil benefit all user even elektron them self, better product is not a good thing!? What kind of mind made you guys talk those word right here? If I make you feeling no good, just go away! Why answer this with your letters?

[alechko]

tbf, your post title starts with Let’s Talk, so people are talking, there are plenty threads where you can suggest features like for example:

Digitone feature requests!

Allow audio sent into the inputs to be incorporated into the synthesis, it would be nice to be able have external audio to FM the operators, modulate the filter, trigger the LFOs and envelopes and so on, the V-Synth XT could do some of this and it was a great feature. Individual note lengths and velocities for chords. Feedback for other operators, more algorithms. Use track buttons to mute operators. Portamento with rate and time will fit nicely on those 2 blank squares on trig parameters pa…

either way, just because another box has a certain feature does not mean it has to be implemented in every other box, and yeah if you think this is a real limitation then try the feature suggestion threads where every idea is welcome…

[thermionic]

A reminder that Elektron does not read any of these threads, if you would like to advocate for a particular feature the only way they will know is if you email feature-request@elektron.se , otherwise this is screaming into an inescapable void

@thermionic

the live recording of the data

like this?

No. With a proper midi controller like a keyboard sending pitchbend, modwheel, eventually aftertouch. Totally different way of playing.

Anyway recording would be steppy, pass through wouldn’t.

[alechko]

ah, incoming midi, got it

At first, my plan was If this thread collecting enough positive information, I will ticket the link to elektron support, but maybe I was wrong! This is not a place to really talk a technique thing.

[Mrintact]

Cmon… That´s a pointless comment just let the guy express himself… He brought up a valid issue who cares how he expressed it?
Ok back to the issue at hand…

[Mrintact]

Yeah but it sheds light on the issue for potential users so it definitely has a place, He can also e-mail Elektron and most likely will but I myself appreciate the information.

[thermionic]

@Mrintact

Yeah but it sheds light on the issue for potential users so it definitely has a place,

I don’t think it’s bad to do, but there are likely dozens of similar threads that could probably have been bumped instead and I’m mostly just prioritizing that the best way to raise the request from Elektron’s perspective is to email that address, for that is how they would internally take note of user interest over discussion on a forum of their most dedicated users which may not represent the most broad scope of their userbase.

Hey, at least there are a few provided workarounds in the thread! Not what we’re looking for, but perhaps a little utility now.

[tomfs]

I don’t disagree that it would be much better if it worked. I think it probably should have worked right from version 1.
I disagree with your way of expressing this.

I suspect English is not your first language, but even that barrier aside. You come across as pretty rude and demanding.

If you want a feature, or think there is a bug, create a support ticket or email the company. Creating a thread on a forum where you act like a spoilt teenager is not the way.

[dzyndzel]

Is criticizing criticism a taboo concept now? I do think it works both ways.

[shigginpit]

relax.

relax.

relax.

please relax this thread so there is no lock and people will have a place to talk about pwmpbatmeninblackbluemangroupucsdnyu as much as they want.

one more. relax.

thank you. let foxes be your strength in these tough times of imperfect machines.
