Next update due

""Barfunkel"":

Since it’s digital and there are only 3 changeable parameters on that page as we speak, I’d like more options for the noise! Maybe some different noise types, some funky parameters to edit and modulate etc.

I like the noise, but it’s quite simple as it is.

Being able to change the bit/sample rate of the noise would be one obvious and computationally cheap way to do it, and I find that lo-fi digital stuff piped through a nice filter sounds fantastic.

""avantronica"":

not sure where the ‘imminent’ rumour started, i think it’s wishful thinking

Jon (the moderator) said in another thread on this forum that there were a bunch of new tutorial videos on the way, but that they could not be released yet as they as they employed new OS features.
I don’t really mind what speed OS updates are released - better to take longer than to to release with bugs or poorly implemented features! but once there’s an official statement of something being ‘on the way’ the calculus changes.

if Elektron were to augment the noise section my vote would be for a random pulse, one that could be both heard and used to modulate stuff, pancakes are more likely
+1 for digital VS style waves though

""void"":

okay someone gave me access to the early alpha version…

the bad news is, it won’t be ready until late next year.

the good news is, the A4 will then be able to make both pancakes and coffee, at the same time!!!

thank you for sharing this information

i hope (read daydream) they’re secretly working on a way to do this between tracks

Sadly there will be no OS update any time soon, all Elektron staff are too busy knitting us all nice jumpers for the winter!!

snowcrash · 2013-11-04T20:38:59.000Z

So as the sweaters will be the next big thing on friday, there won’t be an update for the A4 announced until at least 15.11.2013.

Duh!

Noisebuddy · 2013-11-04T20:49:17.000Z

And what means MAJLS on the shirt?

I agree

PlayRecords · 2013-11-08T09:33:20.000Z

Fingers crossed for all things to all men and women in an update today…

Some info at least!!!

Would be a sweet Friday treat.

Edit- Some solid tutorials to polish up my percussion synthesizing skills on the A4 would be mega rather than these pay as you go pre made kits we’re expecting. Those in the know “show”

I would really like it to be less easy to change destination mod sources…perhaps requiring a knob push before you can do that.

Great idea!

r05c03 · 2013-11-08T19:43:05.000Z

I know, right? I screw up my modulations ALL the time if I so much as brush that knob…

pseen · 2013-11-08T20:49:00.000Z

Yeah, me too.

Polden · 2013-11-09T02:34:42.000Z

I suggested this in the feature request thread.
Seriously considered marking the modulation depth knob to avoid changing destination every time I want to modify depth

PES · 2013-11-09T04:27:18.000Z

I always knock mod destination out of place by accident as well.

namnibor · 2013-11-10T03:07:25.000Z

+1

Wanted to share that really has been a cumbersome thing for me as am a recently disabled military veteran, and although a survivor, have slight Peripheral Neuropathy in hands/feet, meaning the little finger’s tip always hits that knob and do not realize it because only that fingertip is always numb…a knob push would be ideal for simple ergonomics as well.

Maybe the push switch is too limited in terms of lifetime operations for them to consider this. Make perfect sense otherwise.

r05c03 · 2013-11-10T14:07:12.000Z

Well, then function button and knob turn…right now it is one of the major things that bothers me about the A4 and makes me scared shitless to use it in any sort of live situation.

plej · 2013-11-11T10:46:35.000Z

Getting back to the topic.
WHEN is this update due?
I had a support email from Elektron months and months ago saying I should hold on to my A4 since “you never know what the new update will have”, in regards to Poly…
So I’m confident it is coming. But when?
