you need to focus on the supertrack

Yes, p-locked trigs adhere to the rules you set for them with conditions/probability.

About previews while browsing:
If you browse presets with func + SRC and then choose sub tracks or instruments, you can preview the presets with the keyboard. Helps a lot! This doesn’t work with the file button.
Ps: transpose buttons work!

It may be that I had some overdrive in the Tonverk—I didn’t check that.
I had a kick on the track before, and it was only when I layered it with a DT2 kick that I noticed the latency.
I have a lot of Elektron devices, and I had them all in a single MIDI chain: OT as the master, followed by six devices. I didn’t experience any audible latency.
Rated read/write speeds depend on a lot of things (number of files, size of files), but copying directly to/from the TV has maxed out at around 27MB/s (sustained write) for me with different cards, both rated at 120MB/s. For comparison, I get about 37MB/s via a card reader on the PC.
Remember that USB 2.0 (what Tonverk is) is limited to 480 Mb/s (megabits/s), so maybe 40 megabytes, tops, if transferring via USB cable.
I, too, am interested to know if any of these much higher rated cards make much of a difference in practice, on the machine. Large projects can take a while to fully load. (I have not tested this extensively.)

These are not actual presets but samples and instruments (multi-samples).
Yes, Elektron has made it a bit complicated again 
But at least previewing these work!
Ah, so not with fx? I am loading these and have a lot of fun changing them. 
Coming from a digitakt 2, these sounds are way more useful for my taste. Very nice and textured.
Am I right to say that with an endless Encoder as the Volume you won’t get noise artefacts when twisting the Encoder?

The power switch on the Tonverk has a new feature compared to previous Elektron gear.
Previously, the Elektron have used mechanical latching toggle switches. With them, it is possible to accidentally turn off an instrument by moving the device backward, causing it to contact something else (that does not move), toggling the switch off.
The new type of switch on the Tonverk is called a momentary push button with latching logic (aka, “soft-latch power switch”). It is “momentary” in that it always returns to the neutral position.
Pressing once sends a signal to the power controller circuit, which powers the device on (the button itself doesn’t carry the full current).
To shut down, you press and hold → the controller interprets this as a shutdown command and turns the device off safely.
Also, on the topic of power, with the Tonverk powered via USB-C cable, they added a threaded hole above the USB-C port. The included Elektron power cable has a built-in screw that fastens the cable to the device. This also helps prevent an accidental power-off event.
These are really nice details they’ve added, and I imagine we’ll see them in future instruments as well. Very nice!

I read that there was an assignable envelope for the Simgle Player machine. Can it be used to modulate that track’s effects parameters?
I hope it can, though I’m assuming it can’t. I understand that this might not work in a conventional way seeing as the effects themselves aren’t polyphonic, but I still think it could lead to some really interesting sonic results using the most recently triggered envelope for modulation, or some kimd if summing or highest or average value…
Pretty sure mod envelope can only assign to track parameters
And to the parameters of one of the two available LFO’s which can modulate the fx parameters 
Totally wrong here, my bad! 
Mod Envelope only talks to the voice LFOs though … you can see the topography with FUNC+MOD
FX LFOs are separate

Hi, simple question: is this second usb c only for powering the unit itself? If yes ”2 x usb c” in the specs can be a bit misleading…

Is the iPad on silent mode (the crossed out bell when you drag down right top corner)? Forgetting to turn that back on used to give me fits when connecting to a Mac through certain interfaces.
In practice it’s needed for power although both ports can handle usb or power interchangeably. It’s possible to power via a host, but power requirements are high so in practice it may boot, but not power audio … the functionality has evolved, it basically powers off after boot if the juice isn’t sufficient, it used to stay on iirc
I vaguely recall reading it was possible to add data early on in testing. For most situations it’s best to assume it’s for power, but given you can have power pass through on USB hubs and so forth, there could perhaps be an evolution in functionality on these ports

Yes, I now tried through a powered hub, and that solved the problem.

Technically we’re all better off using Modwheel/breath macros for live performance - combined with a midi controller. To control the mix better. So for me lack of control all is just a miss for random fun vs actual live performance.

Can you confirm that you mean you were able to power the TV and use USB via one port of the TV by using a powered USB hub ?!
It would be handy to share the specs I guess … are you in fact using the TV PSU to power the hub and using passthrough ? I think I have a hub that may support this too !
