Hi there,
I noticed a strange behaviour when track selecting.
When pushing a pad the HT8 pad lights up instead of the pad I intended to.
This happend
Iām sorry, using a mobile for posting.
I wanted to say: this happens with all pads, sometimes HT8 is selected, not the selected.
When pushing around it disappears.
I had this issue and it was a hardware fault. Had to get a new unit from where I bought it.

OK, I assumed that it was something with a faulty pad.
When you say āselectedā do you mean you press
Track + Pad_N
and you do not get Track_N pad turning orange, but you get HT8 turning orange
or do you mean you see white flickering
Presumably if the pads were still being broken in a bit, this lack of compliance (if it is that) may subside
In that case, it would also be an issue when selecting Mutes surely and so on
Perhaps a video would illustrate it better
Which pads make N falsely active, ones near it, or all ?
Iām sure support can give you some feedback about what to do if this isnāt resolved soon - it may well be an issue like that discussed above
There was lots of anecdotal feedback in the early AR days about people finding that the pads ābedded inā after a bit and that the feel became softer
Yes,that.
F.e. When pushing BT5 it lights up shortly but after HT8 stays on.
Again, when pushing a few times on all pads "the ghosting
ā¦the ghosting diappears.
No shimmering and during muting also no problems.
Small note: this happens when the AR is just powerd onā¦so maybe itās a ābreak inā for the pads or a faulty HT8 pad. Too sensitive or a PCB problem.
I think this is one for support to cast their eye on, but itād be a good plan to ask why itās affecting track select and not mute imho or why itās like that at startup. Either way not ideal, unless itās something that a few sessions of playing-in will iron out, albeit that this would ideally not be necessary

I will do some more testing.
Thank you for your reply.

This evening I didnāt have any āghostā.
Tried all track select, mutes and playing.
If it were me, iād go out of my way to give all the pads a good extended workout, test the performance macros etc etc a lotā¦ just to see if this issue is really just a case of the pads needing a bit of bedding in ā¦ I know that the touch feel for me was initially a bit different, but nothing like false Track selection which is more problematic ā¦ but possibly a factor I the material stiffness/sub-assembly design ā¦ I dunno, never seen a stripped unit to know if that can make any sense, but I strongly doubt itās all separate parts and those pads are made of a very stiff material which does seem to feel less stiff over time (may just be familiarity)

I left the unit on overnight and this morning tapped all pads and triggerkeys.
Again, no disturbing signs of āghostingā.
Itās a relief.

Have you experienced it again? Pad 5 on my MkII just started ghost flickering at random and it does it for hours.
This just started in the last few days. Pad 5 flickers at random but doesnāt actually trigger the sound. Anyone else? This is the second problem Iāve had with my Rytm. The other problem is that pad 9 sometimes reacts when Iām touching pad 5 in mute mode. I usually fix that by massaging them both a little bit and restarting the machine. That issue only occurs about 30% of the time. This new ghost flicker pad is constant. Both minor problems that arenāt too bad but just another issue to add to the mountain of overall issues people have with these Rytm Mk2s. I tried uploading from 30 second down to 5 second videos to demonstrate but apparently my files are too big.
I sold my AR practically unused because of the lots of bugsā¦, Elektron an I arenāt good match.
Got ya, thanks for the reply.
