Thanks for doing that. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that I took daw latency into account since there are so many variables.
We have pretty much the exact same results too. It’s good to know I’m not the only one seeing it. I really hope Roland can fix this soon.
woof, big deal breaker.
I was looking into getting this but I sure as hell don’t see these issues on my Rytm MK1 and I bought that in 2014. I don’t think analog voices could be the issue, the Moog Muse can instantly switch patches. These are deal breaker issues which sucks because I really like everything else.
Is the audio silence related to the Project settings, as I just saw on the Roland deep dive video that the ‘Live’ setting under Project settings has an impact on behaviour of the TR, not sure if it’s a characteristic of the ‘Studio’ setting. Will try this out later. https://youtu.be/BnW4jgnBOc0?t=413
I’m finding it harder to find and select instruments on the TR-1000 than on the TR-8S. I know it contains a lot of factory sounds, however when I select a category such as “Bass” and set the folder to “All” it only shows 7 sounds. When I select “Synth” and set the folder to “All” it only shows 4 sounds. Many other categories are the same story. The TR-8S had dozens in each category. What am I missing?
Would someone mind taking a look at their bass and synth sound categories and tell me how many factory sounds you see? Much appreciated.
Do you have a syncgen pro or a Nome2 to sync everything? Until I had an external clock the DAW and gear would always be off grid by a little. The sync boxes can set latency to the sample and you get everything dialed in once and you’re good. This doesn’t speak to the laggy 1000 but it could help your offset in the DAW grid. I’ve never had a DAW slave tight enough to a sequencer (I’ve had a cirklon for about 13 years and they’re as tight as they come in terms of timing), and slaving gear to Ableton or logic clocks don’t keep stuff on the grid well enough when you record… just my experience but everyone I know uses some sort of clock unless they’re running straight analog to tape or they don’t care about the grid as they’re not doing much in the DAW other than mixing
I’ve been using a syncgen pro mk2 forever and it’s solved all the timing issues. Just got the Nome2 and so far so good but I haven’t done lots of testing since I just got it.
Hope you figure it out and you don’t have a lemon!
Doesn’t the TR-1000 have DIN Sync? Tight sync there?
I can’t find that in the manual at all.
Watch the deep dive video. The link in the post takes you to the exact point the guy starts to talk about it. Not experimented on this specifically yet, but it seemed to fit with the issues people have been discussing
I got you I just couldn’t find it in the manual. Unless it’s the internal vs layered gen modes. There is no “live” mode.
Dustin might be talking about the Kit Select setting where you can turn off kit loading on pattern switch.
Seems like everything configured on kit level is affected.
Songs mode is of no use on the TR-1000 if you are not able to seamlessly switch to patterns with different kits.
This tells me this should be a bug.
It’s in the manual though.
If I had TR-1000 I would probably only use song mode with the same kit but I definitely see how cool it would be when mixing it up. But not sure Roland would see it as a bug and maybe only intended uses is with one kit per song?
Dustin in the Deep Dive shows song mode using multiple kits. I’m sure its intended that way. If that’s true than pattern changes should be seamless.
Ah, apologies, my mistake. Perhaps Dustin is hinting at a future functionality update. I’m guessing this is a bug that will be ironed out. It’s very early user days for the TR1000. Having used Elektron machines for a decade, many of their machines were riddled with bugs for sometimes many months after launch. I’ve seen other manufacturers take years to fix things - and occasionally never fixing them, like the Tempest.
If that’s the case then yes I agree 
Maybe the developers/engineers in Japan haven’t made the usecases all that clear to the marketing guys.
Could this be a possible solution for the audio gap (if the architecture allows for it)?
Being able to configure Send FX and Master FX as GLOBAL in stead of per KIT.
It could allow reverb and delay tails to spill over into the next pattern/kit.
This had me scratching my head at first. I Ihink sound plocks are persistent and you have to plock the trigger afterwards to revert back to the original track value. Other plocks (e.g. the micro timing one) don’t seem to work like that.
The other difference to electron is that all triggers are affected while you are holding the step to plock a sound parameter, like a sort of preview function. Different to elektron.
Exactly. They know about it and even added a “memo” in the manual, but in their “deep dive”, they don’t even mention it and even use editing tricks to make sure that nobody notices.
If you look at the demo song, it’s a strong hint that you have to introduce emptier patterns before switching to a different kit and I don’t think it’s a problem, they even have the WAIT state to help us setup the next part on other instruments before continuing. After all, this is a drum machine with a lot of sonic capabilities, not a groove box.
