Real-time record constant parameter lock?

Hi!

One thing that has bothered me for ages now – can you real-time record just one constand parameter lock?

Let’s say my decay is 55, but I want it to be 5 for one passage, without changing the kit. How is this done?

I’m guessing this is either not possible or embarrassingly simple :slight_smile:

thanks!

Yeah, i wish there was a neat way to do this, gave up experimenting a long time ago, would love to hear of a method, i found that a gentle wiggle in and around 5 was best, okay for some params, no good for a tight control of pitch by realtime recording though, must give it another go, there are often undocumented methods !

thankfully manual plocks are much quicker on A4, depending on how many trigs you can hold down !

at the moment No+EncX will erase plocks to a static(unlocked current value)
i think it would be nice if
Yes+EncX would be deployable to record a passage of Encoder pressing, by pressing yes first you stop the kit value being adjusted, then when you press enc you are recording this other value in - gonna suggest that to devs after OB !

Yeah, this what I instinctively tried :slight_smile:
This is actually something that would really speed up my workflow with all the Elektron units… Really hope this gets done at some point. Thanks for making the suggestion to the elektronites.

Can’t confirm atm, but I thought you could just press and hold an encoder (during live record) at the parameter level you desire (and the trigless trigs would be locked at that level).

i.e. turn encoder to 5, activate live record, and press/hold down the encoder for the desired length/time you want 5 to be recorded.

Am I wrong?

The only work-around I know for the moment is to copy the trig - verefy the pitch of the trig i want to paste it over - push,led! - paste and adjust pitch. Works pretty fast for me.

I’m afraid so !
You’ll be adjusting the kit value that way too
Step record is fairly quick imo, if the notes have differing plocks/pitch already, just selecting a bunch and dialling up your new decay value shouldn’t take long, but the original request is still a much needed one
