Parameter lock without triggering the note?

@garf I usually use Event Processor Plus, the simpler I have. RK002 can do much more. I’d like a bome box too!
I found another approach, using a keyboard with quantized arp, with a gate parameter (shortest notes setting).
Longer release, Microtiming, plocks on osc 1 pitch, noise, filter, osc 2 pitch (metal sync).
Sorry for the sound, I needed my usb cable for the keyboard so I couldn’t record with DN! :wink:

The arp isn’t set with octave, the plocks do it.
For some reasons it didn’t work with 4 notes.

sounds great!

It has been like this on DT before. Not sure if right from the start, definitely for quite some time. So it’s probaply not a ‘bug’ on DT and probaply even was there from day one.

Sequencing from OT (or another seq) while having DT basically do automation is huge imho!

I don’t get the principle you are implying. MIDI notes are incoming, which in the aforementioned use case say nothing about CC. So it’s perfectly desirable to use trigless trigs to manipulate the MIDI notes. I wanted to do this before, in fact it’s the natural thing to do - the automated version of tweaking knobs while being played by MIDI.

In elektron world, if you play a note from an external source exactly on time with lock trig/trigless trig in a sequence the plocks will be ignored on that step as the external control overrides the sequencer. Does not matter whether it’s note or cc data. It does not function the same as playing while twisting knobs.

it can easily be worked around by micro timing the plocks so they come slightly after the note is played.

In my experience, This is how the analogs, silver boxes, and digis behave.

Digitone can be sequenced from an external sequencer and trigless locks will be retained.
I don’t own a Digitone, but I’ve tested it once on a DTone and there are also posts on this forum that confirm this.
Some people say otherwise, though, which is kinda strange…

IIRC it was @Microtribe who first told me this was possible.

If the note is held, trigless don’t have any effect. They do during release time. Tested on A4/OT.

Different behavior for Digis (maybe Models?) . Trigless have effect after the note, I much prefer this behavior. I post again my example, at the begining, no arp, sound modulation is made by trigless.

@garf I could reproduce that behavior with midi processing, sending a note off just after note on, full release (CC 107/ Value 127), and sending a short release when receiving note off.

Yeah I’ve done it, it does work but sometimes you have to move the micro step a bit early or late to get it to work… maybe that’s why others say I doesn’t work because the trig wasn’t exactly on the start of the note

but that does not work when loooong sustained notes are coming in

strange is - that long sustained incomming notes from BITWIG let the parameterlocks alive - in abletons live the long notes are killing the plocks - very strange

Indeed. A midi note length depends on when its NOTE OFF message is received. If it’s not received, the note is infinite / stuck.
NOTE ON messages are identical whether the note is short or long (using with same note number / velocity of course).

I’d check with a midi monitor what could explain that.

cant figure out whats different - but fact is, the plocks works when receiving long sustained midinotes from bitwig. from live the do not.

Bitwig has probably more endurance. :content:

related to TRIGS, in the manual it mentions the TRIG PARAMETER page. Where is this page on the Analog Four??

Note page.

misprint?

I guess so. Best you post it here:

Ahoy there! I have a similar question to the above but for the MKi A4 (not keys)

I have a single long note playing with long sweeping filters, I inserted a Trigless Trig to change something like the LFO depth or speed BUT it’s triggering what sounds like a whole new note. On the mono machine this is easy - I just use the Trig Select button. Any ideas? This is doing my head in, I just want the note to carry on and add some parameters further along the sequence!

False alarm, I’ve figured this out - it’s retriggering the note bend. Paramater locking the note bend to “off” sorts it out. Phew!
