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

- Machinedrum would freeze when receiving a long stream of MIDI CC data.

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?

Itâs a secret mode:

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.

It wonât brick - download and enjoy the wonderful X firmware.

Is there even a functional difference someone is aware of between coming with one and having one added after the fact? I could see a slightly modified power-on logo to distinguish if anything.
Nothing wrong with being super sure about a specific, potential edge case of course!
Should be the same, it is just like adding some RAM to a computer.

Made this on X.08 a moment ago - still havenât updated to X.09 or got a MegaCommand. The Tonal option for machines is absolutely groundbreaking.

Iâve noticed a strange behavior of TRX BD2 wonder if anybody can reproduce. If I set LFO to PITCH and set some amount (about 25) and slow speed (like 2 or 3) I can hear steps in PITCH modulation in NORMAL mode (like aliasing). In TONAL mode no such thing occurs, really slow PITCH modulation goes smooth, no steps. Set RAMP to 0 HOLD to 127 to hear it easily. Other BDâs are ok itâs just TRX BD2
