digitakt became unresponsive when i saved a project.
used func - save proj
saved all patterns and project settings
screen indicated ‘done’ but i couldnt do anything.
project loaded fine and continues to work.
audio continued to play when unresponsive
unsure if i had just added a new pattern using the new menu layout…‘save to project’ on pattern screen
also , still records garbage from internal L+R when nothing is plugged in and sequencer isnt playing , though it wasnt on the fix list.
possible that it’s a project you made on 1.02? Maybe there’s some glitch with converting old project data to a newer one, if there are internal data changes in 1.03?
just made brand new project and i got it to lock.
it may be cos i had a lot of changes in the temp patterns.
not sure…
i havent lost any stuff , it seems to save ok.
I found that while playing a pattern if I have usb plugged into the computer and I do function yes to save template and before that text is finished displaying do function save project then hit yes the song will continue to play but you can no longer use any of the buttons and none of the buttons flash, its just stuck saying done on the screen. restart and everything is fine, tested with usb not plugged into my PC and it functions properly saving.
FUNC + Save Project frequently results in freezes. Pattern will continue to play but the [Done] message stays on the screen and I have to turn it off and back on.
I have run into a similar unresponsive bug when saving… I noticed it only happens if the USB in hooked into the computer for me. Did you have you unit plugged into your pc by usb?
will try it unplugged.
i also thought i was going a little mad when the transport controls vanished…glad i’m not the only person.
i do like digitakt , its the main thing i now use , getting nice results very quickly…going to delve into much more midi/external gear over the weekend.
I think the implication from the release notes was that it didn’t really work before: transport reception was really governed by the clock reception - and those check boxes were placebos. That all said, I’d prefer separate controls, too.
My digitakt has crashed twice and needed to rebooted. The first time during usb midi and other time while making changes to a pattern. This all happened within a few hours. WHY!!!
After a pattern is selected, and before releasing any key, [RECORD], [PLAY] and [STOP]
can be pressed to copy, clear or paste patterns without leaving the active pattern. It is
possible to clear and paste multiple patterns at the same time.
Saddly, this doesn’t work. Pressing [STOP] while holding down [PTN] + [TRIG] just stops the sequencer, not paste into the newly selected track (which is what I want).
I’m done for now. Three crash-ridden releases is enough. I feel Elektron’s struggle and I’m confident they will figure this out. I remain supportive and I trust Elektron and love what they do.
But I can’t keep using an instrument I can’t rely on. That’s just a pragmatic truth, nothing else. I look forward to the Digitakt when it’s released, but it’s not, yet. It’s in beta with crashes. When it’s not, I’ll be back.
I’ve been yelling on the rooftops for months, why buy the first version of something before they’ve got all the kinks worked out? It’s bound to be disappointing.
It has both manufacturing/QC defects to be fixed and firmware needs before it’s solid.
Was about to sacrifice a few patterns and sounds to do a factory reset for 1.03
Question is, is it still worth updating? Was soo looking forward to a hassle-free MIDI sync
From this point, it’s hard to argue. I feel I’m learning something here. I guess it’s nice that I can still be naive about certain things while still just turning 42.
