Sorry dude it seems my english is crap, I thought “blink” was meaning “flashing”, but it’s the opposite, we’re both talkin about “stayin lite”
Thanks JOB
Is anybody having issues with using the crossfader to fade between scenes that lock the XLV parameter?
It seems that sometimes it works as expected, and other times not.
- Create new project
- Switch T5 to a FLEX machine, load a sample, add a trig on the 1, and hit play (you’ll here the sample trigging)
- Hold Scene B (scene 9) and set XLV to MIN
- Now Track 5 should fade out as you xfade from A -> B
- But it doesn’t !
What’s odd is if I repeat the process but with T1 (or T2, or T3, or T4) instead of (T5, T6, T7 or T8) it always works.
EDIT: If anybody could reproduce this (or consistently NOT reproduce it) let me know as it’s driving me crazy.

I also got issues with scenes affecting XLV. But I have this issue with projects that were loaded from the card previously.
Here’s how to reproduce.
Create a new empty project.
Create a pattern, that has:
- Looped static sample on Track 1 with trig on 1st step.
- Looped static sample on Track 4 with trig on 1st step.
- Looped static sample on Track 5 with trig on 1st step.
Let the Scene 1 clear, and create other scene (let’s say 9) which sets XLV MIN on Track 1 and Track 4. Leave Track 5 untouched however.
Now start play and move the slider from Scene 1 to Scene 9. We expect that Track 1 and 4 will be faded out and only Track 5 will be heard. That may happen so.
Now save the project. Then switch to different project then switch back to this project. Turn off the device, turn on. Or somehow ensure that the saved project is reloaded.
Try to play the above pattern and move the slider from Scene 1 to Scene 9 again. Now track 5 will also be faded out. According to my experience this issue depends on Track 4. If that is set to XLV MIN, it will also fade out Track 5 (and Track 6). And the same thing happens, too, when the AMP VOL is set to MIN instead of the track main XLV.
Strange issue.

Now I have a guess why Elektron hasn’t released the new firmware for MKI yet. These issues with scenes would make most of the saved projects unusable

I have the same issue !
Tried with XDIR too, it doesn’t works.
Im tried on T5 or T6 with Thru and Pickup machine, XLV doesn’t works. With flex machine on T1 to T4 it works.
I will try tonight with Thru and Pickup on T1 to T4 and a flex machine on T5…
I let you know !

I’ve got answer from Elektron support on these scene issues with XLV. It’s a known bug and will be fixed, eh, soon

Thanks ! We hope soon… 
I will push a ticket too !
You shouldn’t except that you can add a scenario to this which hasn’t been described already. They’re aware of the bug and are going to fix it. Let them focus on other bugs and issues, there are a bunch of such things to fix and what else can come up which we haven’t met yet
I had a prob where LFO 1 on a track didn’t modulate anything, no matter the target. When I setup LFO 2 with identical settings, everything worked…? Will try to reproduce this one before opening a ticket.
MKII os 1.30
Whats good folks. Is anyone able to save a normalized sample? I’ve tried to save a sample in a flex machine that I normalized by saving the sample settings and/or saving a copy of the sample, repeatedly. I then saved the project as a whole. Once the project is reloaded the sample reverts to an un-normalized state. All other settings are recalled properly slices, effects…
I’m sorry but are you all not pissed that you are effectively beta testers on a $1300 machine? The freezing bug surely was known before release unless they simply assembled it and shoved it out the door. Not to mention all the other bugs on a device that has existed for over 7 years (on the assumption that MK1 and MK2 are the exact same OS like they’ve said).
This just confirms to me that preordering and buying an Elektron product up to 6 months after release is the stupidest thing a working musician can do. Unfortunately, this is the new paradigm for manufacturers across the board and to quote the most powerful and yet most stupid person on the planet…it’s SAD!
I know I’m throwing shade here and I’m sure I’ll be told to flip off by many which is completely fine, but seriously, how many of you bought this device with the expectation to use it at a Gig over the next month? How many are just tinkerers with plenty of money to burn and happy to beta test?

Try “save and assign sample” from the audio editor attributes section. Assign to the same sample slot when it asks, It may say “assign to self” for that I can’t remember…
Its gotta be a bug. When I load the project I go to the sample editor and the sample is missing. The sample is labeled on the track. I double tap on the track button, the sample is there in the flex machine. Hit the sample edit button, there it is. I don’t know how I got it to stop reverting to being un-normalized. I tried to rename it and that didn’t work. I post if I find out anything more.
If you save the sample settings it won’t save the edits done in the editor, just slices and trim and some other stuff.
If you save a sample copy it won’t be loaded to the slot.
If you “save and assign sample” and then assign to its same slot, or “self”, then both the edits and the settings will be saved and the new normalized sample will be assigned to the slot…
If that doesn’t work it’s a bug…

From the manual, talking specifically about things done from the “edit” page:
“Save and assign sample” and assigning to the same slot is the saving method to keep using the modified sample in your project.

I did that as well. I saved and assigned the sample and saved the project. The sample did save. Thanks.
However, The second issue is when the project is reloaded from a cold start, I hit sample edit and it says the sample slot is empty even though I’ve saved the sample every possible way. The track is labeled with the sample. I double hit the track button then sample edit and the sample shows up.

Umm, do you have the right track selected first, the editor opens the sample of the current selected track. And by sample edit you mean the aed button?
It’s sometimes hard from text to determine exactly what is happening without tons of questions and back and forth, any chance you can post some screen shots or a short vid?

At this point I will call it a non-issue. I think its one of the quirks of the machine. Yeah when the project is loaded, its on track 3, hit the aed button it says empty slot on track 3. I hit the track buttons 1,2,3 and the samples all come up, almost like it just needed to refresh.
Thanks man

Sounds like maybe a minor bug that doesn’t get in the way, or it’s just the way it is, you have to select something after power up even something seems selected… I’d probably report it anyway…
Cheers…
