Saving individual sounds?

Matthewsavant · 2014-03-19T01:23:59.000Z

This may be the dumbest question ever posted to this board but I can not for the life of me figure out how to save an individual sound! I’ve read the manual (maybe not read entirely but thoroughly perused it) I know how to save projects and kits but not just one sound.
I feel like an idiot asking this because I’ve had my A4 for months now and use it almost everyday I know the synth engine intricately I just always start programming from scratch, I jam with it then start over the next day, When learning this synth I guess I skipped over the basics and instead dove right into the synth engine!

Perfect, thanks!
Lol oh man so simple now I really feel stupid

I suggest it’s simpler to remember Save+Sound

Found this from the old elektron forum, lots of shortcuts!

That shortcut list is brilliant, definitely going to keep that handy until I memorize all of them.

Erase all parameter locks = LIVE REC, [FUNCTION] + [NO/RELOAD]

Seriously, how the… What a relief. I don’t know how often it happend to me that, while recording something in live rec mode, I continued to adjust the sound and accidentally added zillions of trigless p-locks.

I trained myself to be more careful about the rec modes, but as I’m usually working at very slow bpm values the record LED doesn’t blink fast enough, so when I’m on a programming spree I often overlook being in live rec mode or in rec mode at all.

For me it would be better if the rec mode LED would blink at a constant or maybe double rate.

yeah, it’s possible with short patterns for the LED to not even blink - i’ve told HQ about this, i agree, it should be time based and faster, not tied to seq steps - plocking in realtime record mode is my one single biggest user error, but i tend to use the single param erase approach … No+EncoderDown (realtime & for duration of erase needed) it’s also possible (from memory, probably grid rec mode) to erase plocks on a trig basis (Trig+Clear) (might be thinking about OT)
