TouchƩ! :smile:
Take careā€¦ No offense, still working on controlling my post reflexā€¦

Ha! Me too. Void is a sore subject for me. On to better things.

anyone know what the last known rtym os working with SDS drop is? yes SDS drop only works with the MK1, i know. i just want to know what the last known operating system to work with it is. its kind of essential to have this program to work efficiently with samples. cant believe elektron still havenā€™t incorporated this simple feature into OB how useless can you get?

Have you had a browse through the SDS Drop thread? I see youā€™ve posted in there; too much noise / no clear answer to your question I presume?

Edit:

I think the last one would have been OSv1.36

With OSv1.45B Elektron made a number of changes; hence the potential failure point / why SDS may not work?

PS: I donā€™t have SDS drop; so um; Iā€™m just talking shite as usual.

you made this? AND octaedit??! why the fuck havenā€™t they put you on the payroll? and STILL no efficient way to handle samples and file management, half baked products but release another tiny drum machine that no one gives a fuck aboutā€¦ brilliant strategy ā€¦ ah yeah no clear answer and theres just way too many posts. ill have to roll back the os on my AR-MK1 but i donā€™t know which one.

ah ok, wasnā€™t sure if you and void where the same person. maybe you are? this is the internet and its a VERY strange place. i have seen things you wouldnā€™t believeā€¦ void has gone void so im not sure if there will ever be an update to SDS. would still be nice to know what OS to use though because i know after a certain number it doesnā€™t work.

oh i see EDIT

i have an MK2 as well but i think im going to sell it and buy another MK1 just so i can manage samples easier. they are buggy AF anyway, its in the shop now getting repaired because it has the REC button bug. my MK1 is also in the shop because of a VR ram bug. elektron are starting to piss me off a bit. i just want a working rig to play music on. two ARā€™s and two octatracks was a lot of fun when they where actually all working properly. eegghh. ah ok void is just (possibly) enjoying life and not coding stuff for people in a dark room somewhere ā€¦

Had this same issue yesterday: ā€no free sample slotsā€
Formated the +drive, erased all sample slots. Updated firmware (1.46b2)
MacOS 14.5

Did you mean OS beta1? there is no B2?

Yes you are right. Beta 1.

SDS Drop did not work for me at all with an mk2 unit. I am seeing now that this is a known problem, but why not jpenca at least show a warning on this on the app store page?

I appreciate the effort put into the app, and understand that there are technical limitations that might make the app impossible to work, but honestly, I just feel scammed because I was not warned properly of this :frowning: I got a refund from App Store, but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

HI guys,
Are anyone working with sds drop, RYTM MKI os 1.60A, and macosx 10.13 High Sierra?
I have the ā€œno free sample slotā€ problem.
I already format my disk (samples and projects)
I have the RYTM like new, totally empty and the problem is still there.
tha pads works when i push them in my desktop, but ā€¦i canā€™t transfer samples.

any idea??
thanks

If you want to use SDS Drop you need to be on RYTM OS 1.30, which is very old. The new OSā€™s are no longer supported and the app has been abandoned.

There is any chance to have an upgrade for sds to work with the new firmware?? I have buyed sds and also strom and canā€™t use them, have I lose my money?

I would strongly suggest you get a refund. The original author has been AWOL for a very long time.

hi all, does this still work for current rytm OS?

haā€¦ got my own answer there thenā€¦

Does anyone know of any apps which allow simple (and quicker) sample uploads to the AR MK 1? I have SDS Drop but have not used it in a long time, and looks like it is no longer supported

Youā€™ve tried the official ā€œTransferā€ already? Works good for me
