The midi clock of the MD is not really sync with midi clock of other Elektron gears. I have to micro timing the A4 at + 1/48 to get a kick drum sync with the MD
The Micro timing of A4 at 7/384 will be more accurate actually
My apology, the latency doesnāt come from the MD but from my FX processingā¦^^Itās all good now

My Machinedrum has started doing a first-time boot every time I turn it on now. Says āInitiatingā āUnpacking Factory Dataā āLoading Samplesā. Lost a bit of work.
I wonder if itās the battery but I replaced it just a couple years ago.
May try downgrading.
Wonderful work here, as before. Iām still on X.04 but I will try this out soon. I tried searching but maybe someone can confirm/deny: is there a user guide for this available somewhere, beyond whatās in the changelog? Iād be happy to help contribute to one with some practical examples.

Thanks for the link, Iāll check it out - looks useful already at first glance!
With X.05 is there any way to MIDI record and playback FUNC+knob movements to a DAW (like, live controlling all parameters)?
My use case is that I am trying to multitrack my machinedrum solo live set to make an EP. Iād like to be able to record all my knob movements from one āliveā take, then re-play the knob movements over MIDI while recording single tracks.
Iām thinking this isnāt possible and since FUNC+knob emits no MIDI, I will have to record the knob movements on just one channel and then copy/paste the CC track to the other channels as I record each of them.
does an actual ctrl all machine respond to midi? (rather than func + knob)
I guess it eats a track though.

That might work! I recorded the individual midi parts for the track Iām working on now but I may have to try that for the next track. Thanks!
If you enable Enhanced MIDI via SYSEX all params will be transmitted when performing func + param (forgot to document this).
See the readme file for: 0x3E Enhanced MIDI Enable:

Just about to update from the last official OS - do I need to go via x.04? And is there any risk at all of bricking the unit?
Thanks to all involved in this brilliant work!
FWIW, with a similar setup, I too had a failure in the middle of updating on my first attempt, but a second attempt worked. (and a third for the fun of it)
MacOS 11.5.2 -> SysexLibraian -> TM-1 -> MDUW+MKII
No USB hubs or anything else in the hardware chain.
Sysex Librarian speeds were set to defaults:
Pause Between Messages: 0ms
Sysex Receive Timeout: 1 second
Transmit Speed: 100% (3125 bytes/sec)
Transmit Buffer Size: Default
The update took under 10 mins.
The only difference about the successful second attempt was that, after restarting the MD into the boot menu, I noticed the Turbo light on the TM-1 had gone out at some point. I cycled the Turbo mode/button on the TM-1 a few times. Canāt promise that was the fix, but I ran the upgrade a third time just to test my experience and it worked again.
Same here, when the MD is synced to my OT it freezes. I think I have base channel as 10.
I noticed that it happens after a little while but itās happening every time.
Turning it off and on again solves it for a while, not sure what the issue is or if I have set something up incorrectly. Maybe I should try to setting the base channel to āāā.
Are you still having issues?
(Daniel- HĆøjbjerg!?!?!)
Do you have something plugged in the MIDI IN of the OT?
Nothing is plugged into the OT. OT is the master.

** Bug Fixes **
- Improve stability when performing pattern changes via MIDI notes defined in the Control Map Editor.

Sadly the new patch didnāt solve the issue for me with strt mode :
- iām still getting tempo drifts when the pattern change MIDI notes are received by the MD (as sync slave).
- i also notice that the trig notes for each track, that where initialy spread on the 4 base channels (1 to 4 in my case), are now all grouped on channel 1 (but maybe it was on purpose).
For now, the only way i found to keep the clock of the MD stable is to let tempo internal in the settings and receive the ctrl in from my daw.

I just compared against 1.63
- 1.63 also has the tempo drift in STRT mode when slaved.
- Pattern changing only responds on base channel in X.05, as opposed to base channel group in 1.63.

Hi Justin,
Thks to clarify these points.
Regarding the drifting behavior, I think iāll directly take an eventual advice from the Elektron support. Or maybe someone here found a way to advoid this issue using an external sync ?
