Rytm MK2 1.70 == Amnesia?!

So here s something that might be tripping some people up. The setting reload kit on change, which I keep checked but by standard it might be off.

It s in settings > control > seq config.

With this unchecked changes to kits persist even when changing to patterns with another kit. You can comeback to the previous pattern/kit and have your unsaved changes back. But change project and come back and they ll be gone. Very confusing to me, so I keep this checked.

I imagine that updating fw wipes this temp memory too.

Very confusing to me, so I keep this checked.

a) Interesting, I’ll take a look into this, mine was unchecked. If I understand it correctly, this would explain why I’d be able to change multiple KITS without saving and still have those changes intact once I power off the machine (in contrast to what the manual states).

b) Saving a PROJECT does or doesn’t save changed KITS automatically?

check the syntakt manual, 14.7 global fx/mix :wink: (though i use that only seldomly for the same reasons … most often a chorus has a different instrument somewhere which needs another level)

#25

also you can just copy and paste the kit to another pattern, it works like this:

  • save project
  • copy&paste first pattern to second pattern
  • in the pattern menu, go to reload from proj/sequence data
    :wink:

I suggested this feature.

#27

So many steps for something so basic.

#28

Does this statement include the handling of Kits on the Rytm?

#29

To me that s way easier but we re clearly not going to agree on this.

#31

And I suggested square waves for the Syntakt. What do I win?

Well at least I’m not p__sed off for no reason.

#33

I see no reason for this statement.

Okay, I am now 100% sure that my unit isn’t saving things as it should be. I exported loops of a couple of PATTERNS that I made, saved those PATTERNS and KITS properly, shut down the machine… restarted later and… boom: nothing’s the same.

Still wondering about this… should or shouldn’t it?

#36

My guess is it doesn’t. I think this feature is for live play where you might want to go back to a previous pattern and kit and have it sound as it was tweaked live.

But it’s a confusing mess for sure. The MD and MnM had such a clean elegance to the kit structure. Now we also have parts on OT, no kits on digi’s (but with a live mode to preserve some settings across patterns…), models that don’t save their current state if not properly turned off with the power button, and hordes of confused users…

#37

This does sound like a malfunction or bug though. Did you contact support?

#38

Thanks, makes sense. A global setting would make sense, too—will submit to Elektron.

Yes, waiting for a reply.

#39

Pardon my ignorance, but I couldn’t figure out which “live mode” you’re referring to for the Digis. I only got the DT, so if it is ST and/or DN specific feature, then that explains the gap in my memory. But I’m definitely curious to what this means…

#40

Maybe it’s only ST then? It’s called global fx/mix and one can choose to have some settings persist across patterns.

Ah I see, and I do recognize it from the Digitakt as well.

I guess I never get close enough to play a live show, for this to actually be something I considered using :joy:
