OT MK2 machines get delivered with 1.30D pre-installed for quite some time now (first reports are from Dec/'17).

I wonder why 1.30D got never officially released via the support page for more than a year now (so there are also no release notes available).

Do you have D? Does it behave this way?
Still I canā€™t imagine all C users have this happening, Iā€™m quite sure people have been sampling with play trigs involved. Makes me think thereā€™s other settings/order of operations involvedā€¦

Still some bugs on 1.25H. Today I switched from a bank/part with a pickup on T2 to a bank/part with a thru on T2 and a one-shot recorder setup, I could not get it to sample. Would arm the one shot, press play, and nothing. Switching to another pattern/part on that bank and there T2ā€™s one shot recorder would sample, then back to the pattern/part that wouldnā€™t sample and it worked finally.

Iā€™ve reported a similar part switch recorder setting bug to electron and they confirmedā€¦

1.30D is absolutely fine. It works as it should especially the bread-and-butter features like recording. Play trigs stopping recording trigs? Nope. Start of sampling without recording trigs? Nope (or better: only when sending special midi notes as listed in the manual). It operates as it should.

So beside the known bugs (pre-sliced buffers, quirks with parts and the one found lately by @sezare56 about CCs getting recorded when they shouldnā€™t), everything is fine.

So I wouldnā€™t read too much into these reports until they are reproducible on other machines with fresh projects, too.

Iā€™m in a sleep deficit lately so I donā€™t have the strength to do my usual forum search reference posting, I just feel thereā€™s more strangeness reports than before. I keep reading people power cycle and then things work which wouldnā€™t have anything to do with settings but possibly part weirdness, if the part wasnā€™t fully kicked in (having to do with how track settings are still active until a trig on that track is reached) and power cycling loaded it fully. :thinking:

Edit: I would have tried a part reload on the quirk I mentions happened to me today a few posts back, but I had tweaked a part that I liked the saved version and didnā€™t want to loose the tweaks right then. Actually had the idea to switch to another pattern/part and then back and it workedā€¦

I canā€™t say everything is fine.
Pre-sliced samples seems to work but some bugs on Rec Setup settings when you change parts for exampleā€¦

47

Those have been thereā€¦ Especially if your switching from a part with a pickupā€¦

That is one of the ā€œquirks with partsā€ :wink: I mentioned.

And with ā€œeverythingā€™s fineā€ I meant that the standard features work as they should. No troubles with rec and play trigs. Also no troubles when switching rec sources and basic stuff like that.

Thereā€™s bugs with the conditionals and tempo multiplier which gives me hope for new firmware, the thing they introduced is brokenā€¦

I think @clancy might have more bugs for usā€¦ :grin:
I design my project and workflow specifically to not encounter them, besides today, trying new stuffā€¦

What about this one?

That means if you control a synth with a midi track and change its lfo settings you can also change audio tracks settings. Unacceptable.

Ok thatā€™s midi loopback, but it prooves OT is not finished. And even without midi loopback, I suppose OT sends the corresponding 28-33 CC messages on the channel corresponding to the corresponding audio channel.
I go back to the PO33! :smile:

Only for recording OT tracks using the Scr3 setting. For recording inputs you can have the record trig in the exact same spot as the play trig and you hear the recording being made as its happeningā€¦

I do keep asking if those with the issue are using Src3?

Canā€™t bring OT in my pocketā€¦
Just saying some new bugs corrections would be welcomed.

Surely these are all simple fixes.

Some have been there all 4 1/2 years Iā€™ve had my OT and I donā€™t know how long they were there before that, possibly since birthā€¦

Just curious what OS I should be on? My first OTmKII (the bunk one from my other post) had D on it shipped to me. I have C. They donā€™t have anything other than C on the elektron website so this has me wondering what OS should I be on. Have they really not updated since 2017?

58

You canā€™t get D, C is the one for you. Total speculation but D might just be for slight hardware component changes or factory testing routines. Iā€™m almost positive thereā€™s nothing new as far as bug fixes. And yeah, last update Nov 2017, it was major adding trig conditions and no one saw it coming, MK2 runs same OS as MK1, the OS also added support for the new MK2 buttonsā€¦

You can get 1.30D by directly requesting it via email from Elektron support.

I stand corrected, for C users as well or just for units shipped with D? Any declared differences?

I had some time at the weekend. Started a new project and live sampling just works as intended. Now if I go back to that problematic project it also works. I donā€™t even know how to reproduce that ā€œbugā€. I did not do any special or different than last time. WTF?
