The Elektron documentation thread

When moving the start point marker, i.e., the exact position of the sample start point, any changes to the BPM of the sample as well as changes to the bar length of the sample will be visible at the bottom of the screen.

I added a comma, “i.e.,” and “any.” I also moved the first occurrence of “sample.” Does it read correctly now or did I misinterpret it?

You could well be on the money. Let’s see what @eangman has to say about the intention of the sentence. I don’t have an OT to check it myself. But, yes, probably a missing comma or something like that. Nice one!

Yes that text is not very helpful is it… Sorry about that. I have changed it a bit now along the lines of what @digiwut suggested. Thanks all for keeping an eye on the documentation :slight_smile:

Section 8 - Sequencing with the Digital Audio Workstation:

Once an Overbridge plugin is loaded into your DAW project, you can send MIDI to the plugin to sequence your device. The MIDI channels are the same as the track numbers, so on the Analog Four/Keys, Digitakt you use MIDI channels 1–4 for sequencing the tracks. For the Rytm, channels 1–12 is used.

Shouldn’t that say Digitone? I’m trying to figure out how to send separate MIDI for tracks 1-4 from the DAW to my DN, and I think this is the answer…

Yes you are right of course. I will fix that. Thanks for pointing it out :slight_smile:

So, @products7074740 discovered today that when you hold a Trig(s) and very quickly hit and release [PLAY] only the locks are cleared while note data is preserved.
This is not at all clear in the manual.

Page 30 says:

Removing all parameter locks on a trig in GRID RECORDING mode:

  1. Remove the note trig and then enter it again.

And page 33 says:

Clear trig locks by holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].

It seems that the [TRIG]+[PLAY] key combo has two functions:

  1. When pressed “regularly” it clears the note data
  2. When pressed very quick it clears p-locks while keeping note data.

Thread for reference:

Yes I just read about that in the other thread. I have to investigate this trig+play really quickly removes the locks placed on that trig. It sounds a bit fishy to me and I will check it out with the developers to see what is going on there. Thanks for letting me know.

its fishy but the functionality is quite useful :slight_smile:

Octatrack 1.40 manual:

The first slice is played on C-1, the next on C#-1 and so on, expanding upward depending on how many slices the sample has.

This should read:

… is played on C0 the next on C#0 …

Isn’t it? (to match the info box just above this line)

Yes you are right of course. A leftover from and older version of the MIDI mapping. It was also a similar error in the description of the slots trigging, I saw now. I will fix this. Thanks a bunch! :slight_smile:

related to TRIGS, in the manual it mentions the TRIG PARAMETER page. Where is this page on the Analog Four??
it was suggested this is referring to the NOTE page

A4 Mk2 calls it note menu, A4 Mk1 and AK call it note page. Afaik there is no trig parameter page.

AK and A4 pdf manuals have this paragraph, though.

Yes, no TRIG PARAMETER page on those machines, As you already figured out, it should say NOTE menu. Thanks for letting me know. I will comb through the manuals to make sure it is correct everywhere. Thanks!

OT mk1 and mk2 pdf manuals:

You have the possibility to preview a specific trig.

Whoops! A small but rather needed word missing there yes. Thanks! Will fix.

i dont know if youve got these ones already but heres the rest of my findings

Octatrack

13.2.5
This —> The , Varies —> Vary

pg91 NOTE - REC button must be on in order to see the mentioned keyboard while knob A is turned but they do not specify this in the manual

Analog Four

10.4.1 Notes setup - “The NOTES SETUP menu is covered in section For more information, please see “10.9 NOTES SETUP” on page 45.”

I think theres a word missing there between section and For because its not telling me the section lol

p39 Tempo Menu
Holding FUNC “prep” does not work in PTN mode (Fn+Y) and this fact is not mentioned in the manual

12.8.2 poor wording {OMIT the first “Use”}

14.1.2 NEI “LVL” setting misprint?, all i’ve seen in this manual is the label “LEV”

Appendix A OSC 1/OSC 2 TUN “To jump an octave press the knob while turning it.”
-only helps to move it in 4 semitone increments
-you have to hold down FUNC to jump in Octave increments and that isnt what is stated there

DESTINATIONS FOR MODULATION
”OSCX” is not mentioned as a choice, what is happening when you choose it??

my guess is it effects both OSC’s at the selected destination?

thanks
x1212

Correct.

Press down and turn encoder also used to go in octaves, pretty sure about that…

thanks for the confirmation on the first thought

2nd one though, just tried it again and it only goes in increments of 4 semitones when I push the knob and turn it, FUNC + turning it gives you octaves.

Not a bug.
The updated manual regarding the midi control of the delay effect is not correct. The respective tables are upside down. It shpuld be corrected like this
C0 (12) – G0 (19) Selects delay TIME values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ,64
and 128
G#0 (20) – D#1 (27) Selects the track to control (1 – 8)

Hi there. Super thanks for all your comments. I will have a look at everything to see what is what with every comment. The corrections will show up next time I publish a new version of the manuals.
Thanks again for taking your time to collect and send me your feedback :slight_smile:
