I was trying to use the preroll but it wasn’t working, which i assumed had to do with the fact that the syntakt was synced via midi. I found that disabling transport send brings the preroll back. Is there any way to use preroll while sending transport info? 🥹 thanks in advance
just remembered this from another thread, can’t confirm. assume it’s correct though.

use blank patterns and song mode?
Are you asking why someone would do that to supplement preroll?
no, not asking – offering it as a suggestion that sometimes works around issues like this

That’s what sezare was saying in the other thread, I think it’s the only option.

Ive been trying to figure this out, and this seems to confirm – Syntakt doesnt support pre-roll? Ive read this thread and the other, and somehow it still isnt 100% in my mind.
Does the device support preroll in standalone or in sync/transport mode, or not? Doles anyone know, if it doesnt support pre-roll, is Elektron working on adding that?
Yes.
Not slaved.

…since pre roll does not translate on elektron devices, once synced up, the best way to work with a pre roll, is to set up the hosting/masterclocking daw to run with a count in…

A feature request is needed for pre-roll in DAW mode? Na, I’ll just wait and see. The Syntakt just wont occupy that role in my studio until its easier to accomplish pre-rolls. Hopefully Elektron dont need to be prodded to include such a feature.
…even if implemented, what would u get out of it?
ur elektron device would always run behind ur daw arrangement…
use a count in on ur daw…count in and pre roll do the xact same musical trick…
As said above, you can use a dummy pattern as pre-roll, pattern chain, song mode…
