monomachine problems/questions...and possible bug fix release
2006-01-22 by jeff
Hey all, Here's the problems I'm having with my monomachine: 1. Semi-frequent lockups 2. Patterns disappearing or refusing to play 3. A whole bank (bank H) suddenly filled up with ghost patterns from nowhere after a lockup Please note that twice these lockups have forced the two synths I have slaved to the monomachines sequencer to go into an error state and they had to be reset too - this would kill a live set! And here's a few questions: 1. Is there any way to save track arpeggiator settings as a part of a kit somewhere? I need to load them quickly on a per-kit basis and I can't find a way to do this. 2. The "Add" arpeggiator settings seems to function differently sometimes. For some tracks, holding down one note (not a chord) is enough to get the arpeggiator running and it plays that one note repeatedly (which sounds cool!) while for others you have to play chords to get it going. what am I doing wrong? 3. If I want to arpeggiate with a note in a low octave, one in the middle of the keyboard and one in a high octave, how can I hit all three notes simultaneously to get the arpeggiator started? I once figured out some way to get this to work but now I can't. So what I'm wondering is...whats the word on a new OS? I read here that someone had gotten some confirmation from Elektron that 1.06 was buggy and they suggested to go back to 1.05b. Is that true? I love my monomachine it's just that...well...I don't really trust it sometimes :)
