This is how it works on Tr-8s, System 8 too. Ie not a bug, more of a limitation

It is not p-locking. It is motion, which is more like automation in a DAW. P-locking is an Elektron feature. You shouldn’t expect to see that in products of other brands (although it would be nice, I agree).

Both Motion and Parameter locks have there pros and cons. P-locks can be quite annoying when trying to record smooth filter sweeps etc. That’s why some Elektron machines also have Parameter Slides.

Their implementation actually makes sense then (to me at least) when viewed through a DAW automation lens.

Unfortunately motion record on many Roland devices is stepped transition only.

Haven’t tried on Tr-1000 yet but haven’t seen a ‘smooth’ option

1968

Motion doesn’t need parameter slides, it’s like automation. You can record it even when there’s no steps.

1969

Hmm. Seems like you can do smooth recording but its pretty jittery / not smooth at all

Needs some work- perhaps a bug fix.

Try it on filter with an ACB gen and see what I mean

Part of this is that it doesn’t seem to fully overwrite passes of prior motion recording. Also quite steppy / jittery sounding

1970

Yeah. Not fine or granular. It’s not for smooth sweeps over sustained notes but for drawing in discrete changes over steps.

1971

You can record it without steps though

1972

Yeah but its resolution is still rough. So it sounds steppy.

I reported this issue to Roland with example material. Im still on 1.13 and haven’t run into it since I fully factory restored the machine. It happened when i combined kick and a long rumble sample on one track. Im currently on holiday. Will share the Roland ticket when back

I’ve not come across that, seems smooth to me

1975

Have another try. Very much not smooth over here.

Easiest to hear with a filter sweep on an acb saw for example

I personally like the vinyl better. They fit better and are at least water repellent. Actually saved two of my synths when there was flooding coming from the floor above and dumping into them.

Thanks for that tip. I will give the vinyl a shot

After 1.1.4 update does roland still has audio gap between kits ? or did they fix sync issues ? thanks !

1980

Gap - yes.

Depends on the sync issue. No reduction in latency when slaved. Added SYNC DELAY offset for on machine sync alignment. Please read change log in release notes.

What’s up, gang.

And happy holidays. I saw the the recent firmware caused an issue for some of those here.

Would you all recommend updating to this version? What seemed to be the issue with the latest update?

1982

Yes would recommend updating. There’s still some bugs but I’ve not had a single crash or lock up which was happening regularly before.
