Wierd feedback in yellow octaves?

h4ndcrafted · 2014-11-01T17:30:35.000Z

If I go into the yellow octaves on my RYTM, even with the default kit, I get this strange honking feedback, whether using samples of drums or both.

Checked any effects , but as said happens with default kits too.

It makes using the yellow in chromatic useless.

Is this a known issue ?

Hang on, this looks like it is sound dependent, is that right ? I don’t get it with certain sound choices.

Is that right, I don’t get it say with the cowbell slot mmm

Ok that is Wierd, now it is ok ? Is this some sort of transient bug ? I just plaid with some other drum types and it suddenly started working.

Very odd.

Ok so that was confusing, seem the transpose issue is isolated , some sort of restriction, to the Bass Tom, maybe the others too.

Can somebody do the maths on this, I have no idea why it is just the Tom algorithm ?

Sorry about the fleet of posts this is confusing, just like somebody to at least confirm this is the same on their RYTM.

Just confirming that i have occasionally got this effect.

Only on the Bass Tom, and only once i get to the higher octaves like you have said.

Sounds similar to a high resonance, low frequency filter.

Also sometimes if I reload the sound it goes away.

So here is the deal from what I can tell. The Synth engines(toms at least) shorten and elongate the notes when transposed similar to how a sample acts when chromatically pitched. I find this annoying for making melodic sounds with the synth engines, but the point is they are NOT synth engines the are DRUM SYNTH engines and I think they act this way on purpose.

Ok thanks guys.

Yes you are right it is more like a filter tipping into self oscillation.

I too was a freaked out that the analogue sounds acted like samples and their length changed in relation to pitch.

I thought maybe they have done that to compliment the sample elements of a sound, but soon realised you can turn chromatic on and off for each element of the pad.

So it doesn’t make sense to me at all, love a tech from Elektron to explain a little , I’d mail them but seems they are over stretched atm , I’ll just wait, hopefully things will care down once Overbridge has settled ?

Oh I should also add that if you try it with the sample and synth voices with no volume, you still get that rezzy honk.

Confirmed here, with sample and synth volume turned down on BT track only.

And I’m very concerned by this sound length problem.
I don’t understand why they made the sound shorten when the pitch is raised…
This is so limitating and frustrating !!!
Why in the hell would they do something like that…

And the pitch range of the LT MT and HT should be different.
HT is just a LT pitched higher, so you cannot go further high in pitch with its tune control…

yup, it’s a well known and documented bug, the BT does not work in chromatic mode on the yellow pads.

Elektron, how about you fix it ?
