SYNTAKT Bugs Thread

[Skip65]

I get the same thing, I use a Torso T-1 with DN, DT and SYN and sometimes when I do a save on the T-1, all the External Input levels on the Digi boxes get reset to zero. Really weird.

Firmware 1.21A. Syntakt keeps freezing when transferring with Transfer app. Anyone else experiencing this?

[trippelganger]

After successful transfer, I get “Oops! Something went wrong, switch off/on to boot again” every time I boot.

[deadinside]

Have you tried waiting a little while between booting?

I read it needs a little while to ‘settle’ (technical term)

It’s possible I’m doing something stupid, but I’ve just updated to OS 1.30 and the Delay and Reverb sends on the Analog Cymbal/Noise track (12) don’t seem to work. I’ve tried a multiple machines and in more than one pattern.

[teknokarhu]

After installing 1.30 and saving an old project, all track sounds on all patterns have been reset to default. All sound design work is gone, including LFOs, effect sends, machines, etc. I’d create a ticket but I’m unable to log in, and trying to create a new account with my email creates an error message.

I’m sorry if this is too obvious / something you’ve tried already, but I’ve encountered this bug a few times on 1.20 / 1.21 and it was always fixed by loading another project and then reloading the prior project. I never lost any data from it. Not saying this is definitely the same, but I’m hoping you didn’t lose anything so it might be worth a try reloading the project / restarting the machine a couple of times.

@mcop

the Delay and Reverb sends on the Analog Cymbal/Noise

Welcome.
Did you check AUDIO ROUTING, TO DEL/REV ? Trig 12 should be green.

[teknokarhu]

Thanks for the tip, it will help me in the future. Unfortunately, I had created a new pattern in an old project and was working on just that, so I didn’t notice that it had messed up the sounds in other patterns. I already saved the corrupted project so it can’t be reverted. Will be an interesting exercise to turn default sounds into something new. I’ll be backing up the Syntakt more frequently from now on!

[mcop]

Thanks! That was exactly the issue. No idea how that ever got turned off as I didn’t even know that option existed!!

Using firmware 1.30. When doing “SYN + YES” to randomize synth properties, all properties are randomized but TUNE.

Unless you’re using SY CHIP. Then TUNE is randomized too.

Looks like a bug to me?

[Sip]

Yes, I believe you’re right. From the 1.10 update release notes:

“Randomizing the SYN page on the analog tracks erroneously randomized the TUNE parameter.”

So they had this issue before with analog tracks but it’s considered as erroneous behavior by the designers. If you haven’t reported it to Elektron, I suggest you do

[dzyndzel]

It’s the case for all the new machines. Should be reported.

[avantronica]

@dzyndzel

Should be reported.

It’s already logged for a fix, same issue with other new machines

[saskiel]

I just had the same thing, and some problems with creating a ticket. A day’s work gone.

[saskiel]

Some curious Euclidian behaviour: plocking a Euclidian step seems to add a new, non Euclidian trig, with the parameter locked, in an unpredictable stage of the sequence.

[avantronica]

@saskiel

unpredictable stage of the sequence

Without steps to reproduce it’s only anecdotal … are you sure it doesn’t follow this relationship

Euclidean Mode / Rhythms

Linking this picture below back to the link shared in the post above covering the idea of how the Euclidean steps relate to the ‘underlying’ seq steps, it should help visualize the words … Think about the specific case discussed here to serve as a example … It’s a simple case a 16 step pattern and you assign Pulse1=5 Think of the distribution of the Euclidean steps like a stretched ‘window’ into the underlying pattern … it is always stretched unless you have 16 active Euclidean steps lit in p…

[Sip]

Unrelated to any bugs but just wanted to say, I had no clue it worked that way and I’ve been messing with it for days. That post completely changed my understanding of the sequencer and opened up some ideas for me. Thank you for the link.

@saskiel

unpredictable stage of the sequence.

This surprised me at first, but the created regular trig step number should correspond to Euc trig order number.

Ex: If you plock the third Euc trig, a regular trig is created on step 3.

You can think the other way, plock regular trigs on fist steps knowing they will be played in that order, in a round robin way.

Example with these regular trigs:
Step 1: Kick
Step 2: Hihat
Step 3: Snare
Step 4: Open Hihat

These sounds will be played in the same order in Euclidean mode, in a round robin way.

[Sip]

Not sure if what I’m seeing is a bug. It may be that I’m not thinking clearly tonight and it’s expected behavior

Machine is SY CHIP. I have 2 identical trigs, both parameter locked with TUNE set to a low value. Tune and all three offsets are locked on both trigs. While playing, if I change the track TUNE, it affects the trigs playing, despite them being parameter locked. As soon as I take my hand off the knob, the following trigs play according to plocked values. It just affects the tune while it’s being adjusted. Am I missing something?
