I am very new to synths, but one thing I come across is when I save the song in RYTM it doesn’t also save the BPM of the song, unless I am doing something wrong
Also when clearing a pattern, the quantize is also erased, I am talking about the global quantize, am I doing something wrong or is that supposed to happen, it’s annoying, when you clear something and want to record right away with the global quantize to help guide the notes but it’s reset after clearing a pattern.
Is this the way it’s supposed to be or am I missing something?
Thanks for any insight.
Thanks ok that handles the qauntize but I don’t see the tempo for global.
This is what I am doing
Write a song in tempo
Save song
work on another song change tempo
Then when I go back to the previously saved song and load it the current tempo is still on and the original tempo the song was recorded in doesn’t come up.
Please give me a step by step how I can save the tempo per song so that when I load the song the correct tempo is loaded as well.
I tried the quantize from the global menu as suggested above and still, when you clear a pattern, the quantize goes back to 0
Basically anytime you clear a pattern it defaults back to quantize 0
I forgot how to clear just a track, maybe that’s what I should do from now on.
That’s what i criticise most about this machine, is you could save Bpm per pattern, everything would be fine, but it’s useless to have all patterns (and songs) in, say 120 bpm. I hope so much this will be fixed in an os update!
the missing “BPM per pattern” thingie bothered me too in the beginning (AR is my first Elektron machine though, so I can’t compare to other devices), but my solution was fairly simple and works quite alright:
since the BPM is saved for the project, I’ve started to create separate projects for specific BPMs. it also makes sense for me, since it’s very easy to pack a whole live-set with multiple different songs in one project and play it as you need. and if you ever need to speed up or slow down for intro/outro, you can do that fairly easy on the fly
