song mode bug report

currently in pattern mode muting a track disables midi in note triggers.

in song mode when i program a mute on the same track midi notes sneak through the mute.

@waftlord

currently in pattern mode muting a track disables midi in note triggers.

That’s how MIDI triggering works in pattern mode.

Not sure about song mode, sounds like a bug.

A little bug with trig preview. If I preview a trig with p-locks while the sequencer is running, the rest of the trigs in that track also play with the same p-locks with the previewed trig until the pattern plays through the p-locked trig again. Hope I could make it clear, if not just lay a few trigs on a track, put some p-locks on just one trig, preview it while the sequencer is running and listen to the other (not p-locked) trigs.

Also after I updated I found that some tracks on my old kits switched to tonal mode. But I don’t care, I love this update, thanks again folks!

See the text in the video description: “This is a Machinedrum UW version, but it was upgraded from a non-UW so the display is the old one…”

I’m curious how notes were recorded. Only by hand ?

@orkanoid

This was explained before in some post, as far as I understood it’s because the default/tonal setting uses a memory address that was previously unused and basically contains garbage before you use it.

[finalform]

Interesting, I don’t think I realised that that was possible, I thought it was only the plus drive that could be added later.

I’d love to make my non-UW mk2 a UW if that is possible.

Edit: right, so they did.

Upgrade Your Machinedrum

I didn’t realise… BRB, sending a hopeless email to Elektron support…

[JustinValer]

It’ll be a complete main board replacement. The extra RAM needed for the UW upgrade sits next to the DSPs.

Hi! I guess I have a bug:

in LFOs, the “left wave” it’s not working with the VOL parameter. I tried to do the slow attack workaround with some of your new lfo sines and I couldn’t. Works with other parameters, but not with VOL.

Thanks again for this amazing update.

[waftlord]

@damianplouganou

“left wave” it’s not working

how are you using it?

works well for me using:

have you set your VOL to 0 so it rises?

[damianplouganou]

Did you tried with “Trig” instead of “Free”? I didn’t set vol to 0, but it works in the right sine.

[waftlord]

@damianplouganou

“Trig” instead of “Free”?

SHP2 offers inverted waveforms of the ones available in SHP1.

[damianplouganou]

Hi. Sorry I didn’t get it. SHP1 and SHP2 were always inverted. So, it works in SHP1 in yours? in that case, I will check it tonight. Thanks

[waftlord]

SHP1 will have no effect if you’re trying to raise a value that’s already at max value. so you won’t hear any change in sound.

I wasn’t lucky enough to find one with a TM-1 so some kind of device that could do that would be great.

Dear hackers or whatever you should be called,
I’d love to be able to input notes (in Tonal modes) via MIDI. I just started working on a Max/MSP patch to do just this, I can play them chromatically, it’s a bit glitchy but it works.
May I ask if the 16 step button states (pressed/unpressed) + Current Page are accessible via Sysex ?
Also, is there a place where I can find an “analysis” of how a Pattern dump works ? Maybe it’s best asked to the “Megacommand guys” ?
Thanks a lot !
