As you can see on those videos, my beloved digitakt 1 shows signs of weakness lately. Tried to plug it in several sockets, tried to factory reset, nothing changes. The test mode says zero errors but the lights are all crazy… the sound and interface work well for now.
If any of you have any idea that would save me!
Try Test Mode - see what checking LEDs in that reveals
When you are through teh test checks try pressing Trigs 3 4 5 and show the results to Elektron
It’s clearly not right, but there’s a small chance you have one dodgy LED, as for the flickering perhaps a poorly seated cable
But Support can probably give you a more concrete diagnosis
Share your Test Mode 3/4/5 with them (or here too) and be sure to try combinations too e.g. 3/4/5 together should produce white … and it shouldn’t be flickering in test mode, so if it is that’s a sign of an issue
Thanks for your answer
Here is a test. Before filming I tried and had something that looked different every time. it doesn’t really look like a LED problem unfortunately
Will also contact support to show that.
Okay - that’s weird
Pressing a single key should only show the respective colour 3Red 4Green 5Blue
it looked like you were getting weird combinations - if it’s changing then something is not right anyway - it might be as simple as a loose intermittent cable or maybe a spillage on the pcb - but Elektron will direct you appropriately and suggest steps you can try yourself
It would be a good time in any case to do the backups you might need eventually
Could also be a shorted led and the driver is tripping the overcurrent protection when the faulty one is driven on.
Thanks. I did back ups and contacted the support service, I will let you know if I get that sorted!
