One shot trigs

rhizome · 2014-01-08T14:33:12.000Z

has anyone gotten the “hold yes” functionality to work for individual tracks via MIDI? I tried momentary and toggle buttons (nanokontrol) and had to press it again either way to get the next one shot to arm, rather than it continuously arming all one shots on that track until releasing the button.

That “hold yes” trick sounds interesting! I’m using different patterns with normal trigs and pattern changes synced to 4/16 for the same purpose (some with trigs and some without). The OT is flexible enough so that one can choose his favorite of different button combinations to achieve the same results.

nah, doesn’t seem to work that way, there is only one midi message sent, there is no held state, the button obviously does hold the Yes state, but via midi it seems to be impossible, it would need to latch via midi, it only send a CC52 value of 1, Elektron would have to extend the midi side to replicate this- i’d like to see that too !

I see… makes sense but that’s a shame… like many aspects of the MIDI spec

yep - i’m a bit noob on the OT but i’ve found a few gaps i’d sooner have seen filled, like remote stop for each track and not just start

If you have an ipad and lemur, kraftf’s OT template sends out the cc continuously to keep re-arming the one shots…me likey.

aha, that’s one way to do it think i grabbed that template but didn’t try it out yet - curious to see how continuously, should probably try to refresh every few midi ticks, so it updates between Trigs - good ingenuity, Lemur is ideal for this kinda scripting !

I figured I put this here instead of a new thread:

I used one shot trigs for the first time last night and things went a little buggy…

When I went to turn a couple trigs into one shots nothing happened. I tried 6 or 7 times and there was no color change in the LED. I assumed I was doing something wrong and re-read the manual…nope!..I was doing it right.

I tried several more times and eventually the function began working. Now it seems to work fine (though occasionally I have to do the function+trig a couple time to get it to work)…

Has anyone else had issues getting one-shot trigs to work?
Multiple tries to get them to engage?

I don’t feel anything weird with the buttons or anything…it just seems to not recognize the function immediately everytime (and especially not the first time I tried it).

FWIW I have never had this issue with regular trigs or trigless trigs…they have always worked immediately.

Should I be worried?
I’d hate to have to send it (my second OT) back.

subq · 2014-01-31T15:48:05.000Z

this behavior happens to me with one shot recorder trigs all the time

I hit fn+enter/yes and it doesn’t re-arm, I hit track+enter/yes and it doesn’t re-arm

if I do it enough times it will eventually re-arm, frustrating

I do have the yes/enter only option turned off, so maybe that has something to do with the bug. However, I want that option off, it’s too easy to accidentally arm/dis-arm triggers with just yes/no instead of the fn requirement

TJT · 2014-01-31T16:44:28.000Z

And you’re also having it happen initially…as in, when you initially change a regular trig into a one shot?

avantronica · 2014-01-31T18:11:22.000Z

could you write down the most simple way to replicate this, haven’t noticed myself, but best to repeat exact steps !

TJT · 2014-01-31T18:24:16.000Z

If you’re referring to me rather than subq:

1)In grid record mode

2)Regular trig placed on step one…working with no problems…

3)holding down ‘Function’ and then pressing the trig previously placed on step one

trig continues to show red LED and does not turn to yellow (indicating one shot) until several presses of trig (while hold ‘Function’)

5)this problem was chronic (possibly a dozen ‘presses’ until it worked) upon my first attempt at placing a one shot (as in, first time ever using a one shot since I’ve had my OT)

6)problem is now sporadic…sometimes it works on a single press…sometimes it takes a few presses to get it to change (to a one shot)

again…I have never had a problem placing a regular trig or a trigless trig previously …so it doesn’t seem like a bad button or anything

also…it seems to be worse on the the first three trig buttons…but this may be coincidental

avantronica · 2014-01-31T19:04:25.000Z

that seems like a clear cut case then - i wondered if there’d be some particular nuance to it - fwiw - when i convert it is as you expected

but i’ve just realised i have a sticky scale button, different feel to the others, softer, less positive !

subq · 2014-01-31T19:21:48.000Z

I would need to film mine but it does happen nearly every time I use my OT, I probably should have stated I am referring to arming one-shot trigs. I can place the trig fine (and convert between types of trig).

that’s partly why i was asking, to arm more than one one-shot trigger you need to hold Fn+Yes or is it Track+Yes - as soon as one one-shot is spent, ALL one-shots on a track get disarmed
sorry if this is obvious, OT is quite new to me too

correct, that is how it is supposed to work, however, what I’m finding is that it just isn’t working all the time, these are one shot recorder trigs that are placed on step 1 of the track and appear properly…hitting the proper combination of keys shows that it arms, they just don’t trigger recording, if hit multiple times, they will eventually arm…

what I haven’t done is rule out individual options to see if it only occurs with that option…i.e., these are set with QREC PLEN and SCALE MODE PER TRACK so it may have something to do with that…I will need to test that

edit went to just record phone video of it this evening and go figure, I couldn’t, reproduce it…I will just have to keep on eye for it

I wanted to check back in and say that compressed air fixed this problem.
It does seem strange to me that I’ve had two ‘dust problems’ that have caused malfunction on a brand new machine. (crossfader jumping values and this trig issue).
I’m really glad I didn’t have to send my OT back in (again…hp crackle) but I find it odd that this issue has been so significant for me.

TommyT · 2014-11-24T18:25:36.000Z

I’m unable to get the one-shot trig to work. I’ve got a static machine with a sample in the slot.

In track mode.

I click the red record button to enter record mode, press [func] [trig] and the light turns yellow to indicate that I’ve created a one-shot trigger.

I hit play - nothing.

I deactivate record and hit play - nothing

In Slots mode

Without record mode I see the three samples I have in slots by the green LEDs. I can trigger the correct one manually. I’m unable to create a one-shot trigger.

I click the red record button to enter record mode, press [func] [trig] and the light turns yellow.

I hit play - nothing.

I deactivate record and hit play - nothing

Any suggestions?

TommyT · 2014-11-25T00:21:09.000Z

Oop! Just found the answer - the lights weren’t yellow they were green but looked yellow due to the window open and the sunset.

Just double clicked the green trig and it turned yellow and all is happy in Octaland.

Thanks,

T

Hey there,

I’ve just experienced the same problem:

In grid mode I set an sample trig, pressed and held function and pressed the same trig again to turn it into a one shot trig. At first it didn’t work. Then I started pushing various buttons and here’s what the problem was.

At least with my OT, I have to push the trig softly, then it works. Sound a bit funny but that was my issue.
