Maybe a little mistake with NLEN?

10.6.4 LEG Controls the legato of the arpeggiator. This setting will affect the note trigs of the track even if the MOD setting is set to OFF. ON will play overlapping notes legato, releasing the old note after the new one. The NLEN setting adjusts the length of the notes when the arpeggiator is activated. If not activated the LEN setting will adjust the length of the notes. OFF will send out a MIDI note off message before the start of each arpeggiated note.

Hmmm not sure what is wrong there… Enlighten me.

I didn’t precise, A4 MKI. I can’t see any NLEN.
Only Note LEN or Arp LEN.

There is a NLEN for Octatrack.

Ahh ok. Yes I had a look at it and corrected this for both AF MKI and MKII. The text now reads:

“ON will play overlapping notes legato, releasing the old note after the new one. The LEN parameter adjusts the length of the notes when the arpeggiator is activated. If the arpeggiator is not activated, then the LEN parameter on the NOTE menu will adjust the length of the notes.”

Thanks for catching this :slight_smile:

On p. 33 of the Digitone manual, 10.5 Voice Menu, the text says: “A dot next to the track number indicates that the sound is in mono. For more information, please see ‘9.5. Sound Setup Menu’ on page 26.”

Is that cross-reference correct? I don’t see anything related to mono sounds in section 9.5 or on p. 26.

Sorry if I’m missing something!

In addition, on p. 66 of the manual, near the bottom, some of the formatting of the text in the “Auto Channel” paragraph is messed up. The error appears in the sentence that reads “This function is useful when you want to change quickly between the active synth track to play different S20
ounds.”

Edit: Another minor one. On p. 44 of the manual, in the last paragraph on the page, after the second to last sentence, the following text appears: “J50 (-64-63).” I think it needs to be deleted.

CC NRPN for Mute missing in A4’s MKI manual
Can I automate the 4 synth tracks levels with midi CC?

8.4 MIDI NOTES
Some functions can be triggered by sending MIDI note values from an external MIDI device (a MIDI keyboard or a computer, for example) connected to the Digitakt via a standard MIDI cable or a USB 2.0 A to B connector cable. Of the 128 notes in the standard MIDI range, Note numbers 0–8 correspond to notes C0 through to G0

0-7 instead?

Finally had time to have a look at this. You are correct on all accounts and I have now fixed it in the manual. Thanks!

It is indeed. Fixed it in both AF MKI and AF MKII manuals. Thanks for the heads up!

Obviously, you can count to 8, unlike me :grinning: I have fixed that in the manual now. Thanks!

AR2 gain reduction bar is still mentioned in the manual, but it has been disabled apparently.

Hmm… Im looking at the AR MKII User Manual on the website. Here this text is corrected. Am I missing something?

There were at least two previous versions of the 1.45 manual that were issued in July 2018 before you deleted the reference to the gain reduction bar in the current (January 2019) version.

Yes I remember that. But I was wondering why the error was still in it. But it wasn’t :slight_smile:
Good thing to remember is that if people Google for the manuals, it’s not uncommon to be sent to a cached (possibly old) version of the manual. To be on the safe side, always download them from the Elektron site directly.

Btw: It would be really nice when the manuals would show the firmware version number of the device and the manual release date in a much more prominent place than the small print copyright footer at the end of the introduction chapter.

You just want more and more and more dont you? You wanted me to put the OS version and date in the manual, and I did. Now you want it bigger? Do you think I have heaps of unused big fonts just lying around huh? When will it ever end? Sheesh!
Just kidding :grin:

It should also be in the filename of the PDF. Pretty much standard practice. Just easily very confusing otherwise.

Not a bad idea at all. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks!

The CV section of the A4 Mk2 manual needs a bit of review/work (& also on Device UI first, no need for that TRS icon) - the Mk2 has separate CV outs and does not use TRS to combine two …
