Hi, sorry - new Syntakt owner here. I can’t get the keyboard option off!! I press func+track and it was toggling but now it’s stuck fast. Anyone had this issue?? Thx!
Is there a difference with long press ?
No not really…the screen changes from the keyboard info page back to the regular page, but the keyboard is still enabled! Weird!
So keyboard is now on permanently! No amount of func+track will shift it! A reboot/format/reset makes no difference!
Guess I’ll contact support.
Did you test buttons independently in test mode ? (Hold Func while powering, then press Trig one).
Yeah all buttons are fine. Just can’t get the keyboard off! Annoying!
Newbie here, also w same problem.
I spoke with support and it appears you have to toggle it really, really quickly…and it works…
“ We have seen other reports and understand that this interaction can be confusing. We are looking into how we can improve it for a future update.”
Super-fast fingers needed!
Ahhh yes, that is the answer.
Thank you Adam_Acid and the E Support Team!
I was bumping up to the end of my return period, now it looks like the ST is staying put.
Hello
Same for me : it is not easy to turn off the keyboard. I need to try many times the “func+track” keys combo" then it turns off.
I hope Elektron will find a easier way to turn it on and off (especially “off”)
This is still a problem more than a year later.
Strange. This is never a problem for me. I use the keyboard mode very often.
Usually, I long press, to get the menu where you can chose scales etc and the note name is displayed when you press the keys.
Have you tried to hold the Func key with the left index finger and then spank the Track key with the right index finger?
Maybe an option (check box in settings) to disable keyboard when switching tracks could be useful?
It definitely requires a “snappier” button press to turn the keyboard off than it does to turn it on…
Have a good one,

Same here…the fix is a quick press on both but make sure the ‘func’ button slightly proceeds the press of the ‘trk’ button - works every time!
similar problem here, pattern button is the culprit. syntakt is reactive but i cant exit record mode or switch to another bank or pattern.
i am preparing for two gigs this weekend. i am worried that this will happen on stage!
curious, when this happens, can you stop the sequencer or is it not possible to stop the sequencer from playing?
the sequencer was stopped when this happened. there was also no chance to start the sequencer. on the photo you see pattern selection and pattern 3 is selected without switching to the pattern.
the only possibility i had was pressing PTN and then NO when BANK XX : SELECT PTN on the screen appears, to exit pattern select (PTN off).
When selecting Ptn again, it goes back into the frozen PTN Light on Mode.
Switching Off Syntakt helped
I recently had the problem that looked similar, but on the DNII. According to support, it might’ve been triggered by an invalid button combo.
Which might very well be, around that time I confused sometimes if I’m in mute, track or pattern select (it were stressy days.) …
same here! probably it was the same reason in my case.
good to read that i am not the only one jumping between track and mute mode all the time…
