Hi I’m on FW 1.50 and I have weird behavior. I copy the pattern paste it to another pattern it says paste pattern but the pattern is not pasted. i use func + copy Im not in grid mode.
The other thing, even worse is that when I switch a pattern using PTN + hitting some pattern number it changes the sound! from the sound pool.
Does this sound like gear failure or OS? Thanks
It sounds firmware related but it’s really difficult to know what the issue is, only that as you’re aware, the behavior is abnormal.
Does it do this in all projects, or only your current project? Has it only started happening since the firmware update? Did it only start after you loaded some new samples into the plus drive? What are the conditions under which the problem started? When you start it up in pre-boot mode by holding down the function key while powering up, does it list any errors? are any of your samples garbled or missing? are any of your projects unloadable?
If you’re getting no errors, start small. Verify whether the problem exists in all projects. If it doesn’t, there may be an issue with the project you’re working on currently, if it does happen across all projects make sure your data is backed up and try reloading the OS. Starting small will help you figure out what is not the problem, and help you figure out what direction to go in next.
You can start a ticket with elektron, but you’ll just be waiting for a reply and still have to deal with the behavior of the machine. If you do some of your own troubleshooting and it doesn’t fix the issue, you can at least relay to support what steps you’ve taken so hopefully they can get you a resolution faster.
It’s highly unlikely your issue is hardware related, but what you’re describing is very odd so clearly it’s not supposed to do that. Good luck, let us know if you make some progress or maybe someone else will have some other advice but generally speaking, if you can’t easily resolve it with basic troubleshooting you probably need to file a ticket with support.
Just to make sure, did you go onto the source page of the next pattern and make sure the sample number is the same for each trig? That they correspond to the other pattern?
So just for example (with the sequencer stopped), look at your sample number on the source page for trig 5, then go to the next pattern and on the source page does the sample number match? is it possible the sample was accidentally changed?
Thank you so much. So I did the test by rebooting with func. 0 errors. and every button works for example i hit clap it says clap -registered the hit. but when I press 1 (kick) the whole screen is yellow and when I hit 2 the screen is empty. these 2 buttons dont show what I pressed. So far I noticed only this
the yellow screen checks for dead pixels, the black screen checks for pixels stuck on. it’s just a functionality test for the OLED to make it easier to tell if there’s an issue with the screen.
Take a look at the source page and confirm the sample number is the same between the 2 patterns, just to make sure it didn’t get switched. That would be the easiest explanation.
you probably aren’t holding the paste long enough - follow the on screen progress bar
I installed the OS again it did not help. So to answer your question about switching patterns and sample pool - I can set for example kick to 4 patterns and then I just switch patterns - with PTN (silent change of pattern) and the sounds change back to 1, 2, 3 ,4. just pressing PTN to change pattern should not change the sound
Neither tbh, sounds more like user error or familiarisation
Nope that does not work
Did it ever work in the past for you, either of these problems? Is this only an issue since the new OS?
then you probably aren’t using the appropriate copy method for a pattern on the DT
I haven’t tried, but i assume it’s
[Pattern]{hold) then press the trig for the pattern you wish to copy, hold that and press copy
now without releasing Pattern select the trig for the destination and press (and hold) paste
I just bought the digi from somebody. I had digi before so noticed the weird behavior right away. Did the format of drive so no new samples on board - still the same behavior
And on the source page you can confirm that in each of those four patterns, the sample number shown in the right upper corner of the screen in the samp box stays the same?
also best to try the search - or read the manual to get instructions for basic tasks you will rely on
yes, the sounds are there until I silently switch patterns with PTN - then it shifts to what was before. Totally weird
So, just to confirm: from a stop with no pattern playing on the transport, if you go from pattern 1 to pattern 3 by holding pattern and pressing trig 3, the sample number of your kick which you set on pattern 3, changes in the sample box of the source page to a different sample number? What sound is it changing to?
Is it a different sound you’ve added to the sample pool, or is it a random sound? when you turn the D encoder, is it a sample you added to that list?
Guys I figured it out. I confused TRK with PTN ! So I tried copying the track using PTN and ofcourse the other pattern had again stock sounds.
so stupid of me. Thank you for fast support! Should I delete this topic?
Lesson learned. Can’t delete a topic with replies. Glad it worked out. Enjoy your DT.
Thank you again, you da best
At least change the title to say “SOLVED - Weird pattern behavior”
that will make it easier on the mods! cheers
I am also relieved it got solved easily, coz it was my former machine that I now traded for an Octatrack!
I made sure everything was working before shipping, but ofc didn’t test ALL of the functions and combos 
Have fun jamming!
