mmm seems like a machinedrum related issue maybe try pushing rec on and off when this happens this can help, it happens sometimes banks freeze up this is a work around and u will be capable of choosing bank again.

MIDI Additions:
When Enhanced MIDI is enabled the Machinedrum will respond to AfterTouch messages.
These behave identically to incoming CC messages but do not update GUI.

Nice, thank you! I hope Iâve not trod on any toes by offering up the file before the creators, I just got really excited.
I downloaded it on my phone, and donât have anything that could open it, so missed the text file. 
I think this has been asked a bunchâŚ[laziness involved here]
im on X.06 [I believe the number is] is there any reason for me to update yet? not using an MCL. not sure if there is anything in the updates that would benefit the install.
[adding: does anyone have X.06? id like to have it if I revert to old MD or use a diff version and would like to go back to it. I didnt seem to save that one

I would say the highlighted update on X.07 makes it worthwhile, as I had this issue cause me headaches.

Thank you 
I forgot where enhanced midi is located, can someone help?
One thing I dislike profoundly about the MNM is it doesnât record note length / amp:hold. Like, what you play in doesnât get played back. Since MCL uses itâs own sequencer I assume it would now resolve this and record the note lengths I play?

And where do we read about exactly what this âsecret modeâ does, or is for, or how to use ?
Thank you kindly.
Itâs not that secret. Like, I donât have to kill you.
The MCL_Documentation.pdf is available along with other binary artifacts here:

Ah okay, so itâs only for the mega command, thanks, sadly I dont have one 
This is the biggest thing keeping me from using the MNM and Octatrack more. I always use live recording on the other devices, and it not getting the length of the note held down is really frustrating. Also just generally the way the envelope on the MNM and OT works is kinda weird. But then again envelopes on all synths arenât quite to my desires for one reason or another. Syntakt gets pretty close though, with the configurable AHR or ADSR envelope.
Sick! Thank you so much for keeping the MD alive & kicking ASS!

Hey so I bought a secondhand MDUW which had a + drive added years later by elektron techs.
I am a little hesitant about the new unofficial firmware, especially as it relates to the third party addition of my + drive.
Does anyone here know if itâs compatible? Really curious to try it but dont wanna brick the whole thing.
Thanks in advance

Iâm not sure about a +Drive that was added later, but I had a Mk2 UW+ and the unofficial firmware worked just fine. I canât imagine it making a difference.
