HI! Just got myself model samples, and while working of some patterns had a power outage, twice actually…SO first time it happened after i’ve created a new project and made two patterns in it. First patter i have saved(i think), second i didn’t, so when i powered it back the second pattern was gone…If i remember correctly, on digitakt active patterns saved automatically so u can just turn the machine off and on and continue to work. Is it not the case with M:S?
Anyways, i’ve learned from my mistake and started to save patterns from time to time. So, after making another three patterns AND saving then power outage again…i turn the machine back on, and it again goes back to the same state where there was one one pattern, just like the first time! This time i’ve decided to check if there’s something actually left in the project and i’ve reloaded it, and as i suspected, all three other patterns were there…well, kind of, they were all off, some tracks had sequencer information but were not making any sounds, although pointing to the correct samples…Actually i was using sample chains, so maybe it has something to do with that? IN general, when i use sample chain, i have to twist both start and end knobs through the whole range and only then it start to play correctly…
Sorry for the long explanation, i’m just trying to understand where it all goes wrong and how to avoid loosing the material this way again, because i don’t want to waste time on working with machine which can freak out just if you unplug the adapter by accident for example…
Do i have to save both patterns and project before powering it off? Or only patterns? ANd how to make sure that sample(as in bit of the sample chain defined by the start and length values) plays correctly every time?
Thanks!
