Strange sequence or arp?

Hi,

Having had no answer on the Keys forum. Anyone else had the following problem on an A4……

All I’m a new to Elektron gear. As you might have guessed from the title of this topic. I’m getting to know the Analog Keys but have hit a wall with this…

When I press and hold any key on any track I get a what sounds like different sound to the one loaded playing a sequence or arp. This is the same when load new sounds to each track and a totally different kit. The strange sequence plays at the same time as the sound loaded to the track.

The sequencer is not playing and that the arp is off. The lights on the keys do not light up to indicate an arp is playing anyway. The problem is the same when it is not hooked up to any external gear. It was connected to a TT-303 MIDI out and Logic X via USB.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Charlie.

This problem I am please to say is now solved. I started a new Logic X session and re-entered set the Key’s as individual external instruments match the MIDI channels for each track. Set up the clock on Logic and the Key’s. The problem is now gone. So it must have been some sort of clock issue with Logic.

The weirdest bit is I’m sure the problem was happening without the USB connection or any MIDI previously. Anyway I’m pleased it is fixed am left with that unsatisfied feeling of never really knowing what the problem was. At least I learned how to test the hardware and reset the Keys.

Thank you for everyone’s help.

Looking forward to getting to grips with this brilliant music making tool.
