Thanks, that’s not what I’m asking about though. I want to set that curve to off so I am able to use the velocity knob to scroll through velocity layers. So I have a coarse replica of a synth patch recorded with velocity layers, with different timbres or envelopes per layer. The problem is that this only works when entering notes in grid mode, because otherwise, it always locks a velocity level to each trig when using live recording.
Ah, I get you… I’m not sure; sounds reasonable though.

The D knob on my TV has slightly more resistance compared to the others. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue? I’ve had it a couple of months now and there’s been no change in the feel of it, so thinking I might send it back so they can loosen it.
Midi out works perfectly. Probably better ways to sequence A8r though. TV isn’t like Octatrack, you don’t have a separate layer of midi tracks and sample tracks, it’s one or the other on TV.
Saw Oora using a Torso T-1 to sequence Assimmilator, looked fun.
I think you can just press 16?
Since this doesn’t seem to be possible, is there currently any way to play notes with different velocity values using trigs or the sub track keys? I’m thinking of something like digi keyboard modes where you have 16 values for velocity.
FUNC+DOWN to switch between track and velocity trig modes.

Duh, read the manual or panel in that case 
. Thanks, I had somehow wrongfully committed „TV doesn’t have this“ to memory after launch …

On Digis you can delete velocity locks in Live Recording, holding NO + Velocity encoder press.

Silly question maybe. But what’s the least friction way to get a mic into a tonverk? Currently have mic into interface into pc into tonverk. What’s the cleanest solution to get audio in directly?
Whaaaat? That’s awesome! Using velocity as a perf knob is possible only if you trigger the TV externally (and you have a patch with velo layers) and that makes it tons easier.
I’m not sure if this fits your workflow or question but
Microphone > mic input on mixer > mixer send output > TV
I’ve been looking into mics that dont need preamp like the new Teenage Engineering toy

The Headrush VX-5. It even has phantom power and Antares Autotune built-in.

Not possible to erase locks with live recording (NO + ENCODER) on TV (yet). Feature request.
But you can UNLOCK VELOCITY in TRANSFORM menu ! I used that to modulate a multi with velocity layers but forgot it…

You’re a real hero, this changes everything! I also didn’t know about that trick with the encoder on digis.

How good does the mix have to be? You could hook up your phone via usb and use that. The iPhone’s mic is great.
Yeah I‘ve been there, not a straightforward solution unfortunately that’s as good as a „real“ mic. You might try out a field recorder as mic, that was the best recommendation I got when opening a thread about this. All other solutions with reamps etc. are suboptimal. If the mic input can sound a bit lofi, a phone or something like that Teenage Engineering soundsystem mic is an option. There’s also things like TC Helixon and the latest Roland thunfisch for a mic with vocoderfrom their mini series.
Just to share something : today I spent time to just listen presets and every multisampled instruments from the factory card and I’m really impressed.
Every patch are very inspiring and the sound quality of sampling from elektron is top. They did a really great job with factory sounds. I know many of us don’t even listen the preset and load their own samples instead but if you just spend some time to listen the factory content you may have surprises.

This such a great idea, and exactly how I got to know my OG Digitone. I sat with a notebook and soloed all the tracks in a few of the presets and noted how the sounds and rhythms were sculpted and created. So many “ah ha” moments.

Great tip! I have not done this yet. Only with the multisampled instruments you can play as a preview. I really like those sounds but have not heard even one preset, hahaha. Something I will try when i don’t feel i spired to make music. Thanks!
