I copied everything from the Elektron card to my own. The factory project didnt copy over, but all the factory presets I’ve tried so far have worked
FWIW I did not format my new SD card in any way, as it came from the shop already EXFAT formatted. So far its been working flawlessly
I’ve done similarly to a 1.5TB card … it is nice to have infinity of samples at your fingertips for a one-box holiday
via the customer support email.
that sucks, sorry to hear this.
I think this device looks great but I do wish Elektron just held off and made it more stable, these issues aren’t cool.
I thought as much until I dumped a load of Samples from Mars with tons of SFZ folders! Seems like the TV scans all of the card for these and then presents them back in the Multi Sample menu - unfortunately very, very slowly.
Edit: dropped 50gb of breaks so lets see how it handles these as single shots.
We are deffo needing some better library management.
Thanks, yeah I’ll have to reach out. I was really excited about the device, and despite some of the features it lacks was looking forward to figuring out creative workarounds, but there are so many of these bugs that amount to the device being so infuriating. It’ll be so cool when it’s updated, and I appreciate that Elektron let us know that they were actively working on it, and I even get that this is a new software platform for them and that they couldn’t anticipate every use scenario to weed out every bug, but basic things like making sure it saves properly? That seems like an easy catch to me and really makes me feel like I paid $1600 to beta test. Really not cool.
Elektron, if you’re reading this, please just give us slicing and time-stretching to make up for these failures. Please.
I made this tune with it: https://youtu.be/Qpt5d9uIPuI?si=rpH_XKd_y-nUIgOi
Besides my vocal recording and the twilight zone sample, all sounds/multi instruments were what came with the TV.
As for bugs, yeah, I had some struggles.
The easily identifiable ones were easy to work around. The ones that really got me were the incomplete saving issues.
I would dial in a ton of parameter locks and retrigs only to discover the next day they weren’t firing. Some were still showing as “locked” but wouldn’t do anything. I had to basically redo the entire trig (delete it, and enter a new one with all the plocks and settings). Or, sometimes, the plocks/retrig settings would just disappear. I believe the latter was a “saving” issue as they were only the most recent changes to the trig/pattern that would essentially disappear and revert to the pattern the way it was the last time I saved/shutdown.
Being a long time user of Elektron products I have vowed to stay clear for up to a year of a new release. I broke that promise to myself with the Digitone 2 but have had nearly no issues whatsoever with that one.
I decided to take the chance on the TV and the results were definitely not the same.
Despite all of that, I really like the TV and I intend to keep it. But, if I were to do a live gig, there is absolutely no way the TV would come along. It’s barely in beta still (arguably alpha stage still).
I have faith in Elektron that they will sort all of this out but that only comes with years of experience.
I fear they may have turned off a lot of newcomers with this release…
Anyone hear from elektron about a prospective rollout for the next update? I’m getting itchy to use my TV as a hardware sequencer!
"We’re also nearly there with the next OS, which will address the MIDI timing jitter (causing sync issues) and Auto Sampler latency, as well as adding further refinements. These issues are related, so fixing one will take care of the other. For that reason we want to ensure the solution we are currently testing is watertight. We’re aiming to release this in October. "
I actually get too cold to use my TV when it’s facing north. Submitted a bug report for it though fingers crossed it’s fixed in the next update
Please, fix the bug that prevents you from copying and pasting patterns from one project to another.
was hoping to hear something too.
I really want to start multi-sampling a bunch of stuff but already ran into the noise gap issue and without the ability to edit the sample… well, not much of a point in doing any of that right now.
Hopefully we see something this week.
@Lieder Elektron posted this today in the big Tonverk thread
Thank you! There are so many TV threads now that I missed that one.
