hi guys, I know this has been asked a thousand times before, AND I wrote it down, but lost the piece of paper …
how do I save a plocked trig as a new sound to the sound bank? … thanks!
But I dont think this will save the sound as in the current trig-state (p-locks)…only the sound loaded on the active track.
fuck , i think you are right … so no plockable sound saves for us?
What are you trying to accomplish?
If you just like how you changed a sound and would like to save that as a new patch then you will have to hold down the p-locked trig and look at what was changed. Now in a new kit or other track or whatever you are doing, select the original sound and, edit the settings to what you had p-locked and then save it to a new sound slot.
Alternatively you can just copy that trig (hold trig and press rec button) and paste it in the new pattern and assign the same base sound.
I’m sure you already new those steps but I don’t think this is really that insurmountable of a problem using those methods unless you are looking to save a p-locked sound on the fly. If so then I think working with the copy trig method will be as close as you can get.

I totally agree. It’d be great to have the option to save the p-locked trig as a sound, and also to unlock a locked parameter on that trig also.
For instance, say I lock a bunch of parameters on a trig, pitch and filter for example, but then want to create global changes to the filter settings of all trigs on a pattern, it’d be great to have a push button option to unlock it.
kotare AND automux , thanks for reply … I sometimes have the feeling that a plocked trig contains more info on that trig, than the trig itself, that is, some weird ass sound from 3 trigs before, that due to long attack or whatever just coincidentally starts at the very plocked trig that I d like to save …
copy paste save kit, hope to sound the same … cheers, thanks for chiming in! …
ooh btw, I often imagine that I do things, which are actually not working, just like saving plocks , or increasing reverb on the input section, when I have no inputs, but I imagine the sound changes (not a joke, like first 3 weeks of owning the a4)
You do unless I am misreading what you are saying. While holding a trig with p-locks, find the p-lock you want to “deactivate” and press in on the related encoder. The colors will invert back to normal and it will be affected by global sound changes again while keeping the other p-locks on that trig in place.
You know, as soon as I wrote that I thought to myself are you sure this isn’t already the case?
Thanks for that 
reading this i immediately thought: where the hell have i been, you can save a plocked sound as a preset!!! Would be an amazing idea.
But for now ,yes, one could stick to the old elektron cut/paste on new track and save sound trick
