Hey Elektronauts! I have some shows coming up and need help with this issue ASAP. I am having a problem with a single sample triggering when I save a project file and also when changing to a new bank. Seems to be quite random and it can’t be repeated (I have tried many times).
I know which bank/part/pattern the sample is allocated to and have tried to shorten the sample decay/length with no success. It’s happened during shows/rehearsals and the volume is always consistently loud regardless of where my master channel is. I know there is a function to cut the sample off when moving to a new bank but can’t remember how to access that menu option + the sample length is short it’s most likely not this considering it’s sounding even when I’m saving parts/project files.
This setting is part of the pattern settings menu ([FUNC] + [PTN]) and is called “start silent”. It’s a per track setting and takes effect when you change to a pattern with a different part assigned to it.
If you want to change the global default you can do this in menu CONTROL->SEQUENCER (setting SILENCE TRACKS).
About your other problem: please try to explain it a little bit better. At the moment is just too confusing/unspecific to help you.
In Melbourne, Australia! The shows are capacity limited and everyone has to socially distance, wear masks etc. but feels good to be able to perform after 10 months of being locked inside. Where abouts are you based Blasted_pingin?
That’s really helpful! I have now applied the “SILENCE TRACKS” to the global setting and will see if it solves the issue.
To better explain the sample in question which is assigned to a static machine will trigger at random times - for example when I save a part, when I save a project file or when I move from one bank to another bank. So let’s say I am saving a part and the sample goes off, I will try and repeat that process (saving a part) to see where the issue is located but I can’t get it to go off again. It seems random and could be a potential bug as it never used to do it. I am running the most recent update on a MK1. Hope that makes a bit more sense. Thanks for your help.
Really sorry to hear and hope you are going ok. Covid absolutely obliterated our scene here, a lot of venues have shut down which is sad. The ones that remain are getting a lot of support from locals but it all feels very temporary considering we could be locked down at any point again. I know it is necessary but impacts the scene greatly for sure.
Yeah we have had a lot of cases here for sure but feel now we are on top of our contact tracing so can effectively manage outbreaks when they come up. Got to take the wins where ever you can get them lol
Not being used for chromatic purposes. Loop is ON and AMP/ENV is active.
Cool. Ok I suspect what is happening here, is when the new bank is loaded, the errant sample (or more specifcally, the AMP ENV) is being retriggered when the new bank loads.
So, have you tried
A) have a trig on the first step of the new bank pattern, on the same track as the problem sample? With either, a different sample, or a PLock volume to ZERO.
B) send a command to limit the length of the note before the bank change. (This can be done with a trigless trig, or a regular Plock depending on your preference.
I dont think its a bug. I think its a workflow issue pertaining to Parts, and the sometimes tricky behaviour of looped samples.
