Is this the right thread for manual inconsistencies? I did a search, but it wasn’t clear… I think there’s a longer thread somewhere…
Anyway. Here’s another mention for the manual being wrong about CHNG/CH.LEN.
Pg 45 of the Rytm manual and page (something) of the Syntakt manual both claim that setting CHNG or CH.LEN will affect when a pattern changes to the next pattern in Chain Mode (and manual mode). It works just as described in manual mode, but doesn’t work in Chain Mode. This has been discussed many times in several threads, so I assume the issue has been raised in the manuals threads… but it’s so confusing and annoying, and so suprirrisng that it’s still mis-described in the Syntakt manual, that I feel compelled to write about it and raise a support ticket. In Chain Mode, the LEN/M.LEN parameter controls the change length.
I think it’s a bug, actually… I’m sure Elektron intend for it to work as described (because that would make more sense). However, it’s been a bug across multiple devices, seemingly for multiple OS releases, so I presume there’s significant reason it’s not fixed technically. So the manuals should change.
