          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>When I slice a chromatic sample that rises note by note starting from C it seems to misbehave and skip notes. Any way around this? I’ve been dying to get to grips with using samples I’ve made from my synths and this has really been a head scratcher.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

          <title>TRESSE 1.2.0 — 39-engine polysynth for iOS, now with a generative brain (TestFlight beta)</title>
          <dc:creator><![CDATA[valdlabs]]></dc:creator>

            <p>Hi everyone — TRESSE 1.2.0 is up on TestFlight, and it’s a big update.</p>
<p>TRESSE is a 39-engine, 8-voice polyphonic synth for iPhone and iPad.</p>
<p>It combines the Mutable Instruments Plaits engines — FM, wavetable, additive, granular, speech, chords, resonators, drums — with 15 custom engines you won’t find anywhere else: custom Karplus-Strong, sympathetic strings, modal resonators, supersaw, Hammond drawbars, bytebeat, wavefolders, VåldFM engine and more.</p>
<p>Every engine plays through the same expressive voice: a self-stable SEM-style morphing filter (LP→BP→HP→Notch, never blows up at full resonance), dual ADSRs, per-voice analog drift, and a delay + shimmer reverb section.</p>
<p>It runs as an AUv3 instrument in AUM, AudioBus, Drambo and GarageBand, plus standalone with Bluetooth and Network MIDI.</p>
<p>Last but not least, it now integrates a small but powerful version of our generative sequencer <a href="https://www.elektronauts.com/t/vekte-by-vald-labs-public-beta-generative-midi-sequencer-vst3-auv3-ipados/252105/57"><strong>Vekte</strong></a> so you can work immediately. It also features an arpeggiator with the capability of replaying the source sequence at different rates, enabling mind bending patterns which are close to random but sounding very coherent.</p>

<p><strong>39-engine, 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer by Vald Labs.</strong> iOS Standalone + AUv3 instrument — combines the Mutable Instruments Plaits engines with 15 custom engines and a generative sequencer in one instrument.</p>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-platforms-formats-2" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-platforms-formats-2"></a>Platforms &amp; formats</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>iOS:</strong> Standalone app + AUv3 instrument — loads in AUM, AudioBus, Drambo, GarageBand; state saves with your host project</li>
<li>Background audio, full-screen landscape touch UI, iPhone + iPad (iOS 14+)</li>
<li>Presets and settings shared between standalone and AUv3 (App Group)</li>
<li>Also on desktop: VST3 / Standalone (macOS universal + Windows x64)</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-synthesis-engines-39-3" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-synthesis-engines-39-3"></a>Synthesis engines (39)</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>24 Plaits engines:</strong> EastCoast subtractive, Phase Distortion, DX7 I/II/III (6-op FM), Wave Terrain, String Machine + chorus, Chiptune, Dual Detuned, Waveshaper, Phase Mod FM, Saw Cloud granular, Additive, Wavetable, Chords, Speech/formant, Swarm, Filtered Noise, Particle, Rings Inharmonic, Rings Modal, Bass Drum, Snare, HiHat</li>

<li>Per-engine gain normalization — engines switch without level jumps</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-dual-oscillator-layers-new-in-120-4" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-dual-oscillator-layers-new-in-120-4"></a>Dual oscillator layers (new in 1.2.0)</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Two full macro-oscillator layers</strong>, each with its own engine, timbre controls (TIM/MOR/HAR/DRIFT), amp ADSR, complete filter (type/cutoff/reso/env + filter ADSR) and voice mode</li>
<li><strong>OSC mixer:</strong> bipolar crossfade knob — hard left = OSC1 alone, center 50:50, hard right = OSC2 alone; shares always sum to 100%</li>
<li><strong>8 + 8 voices</strong> when both layers run; tails ring out cleanly on layer close</li>
<li>SEQ, ARP and MOD lanes drive both layers from one note stream</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-voice-filter-5" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-voice-filter-5"></a>Voice &amp; filter</h2>
<ul>
<li>8-voice polyphony per layer; voice modes <strong>POLY / MONO (legato) / UNISON 2·4·8</strong></li>
<li>Per-voice <strong>DRIFT</strong> — decorrelated analog wander (pitch + timbre movement)</li>
<li>Per-voice detune, portamento glide, stereo <strong>CHORUS</strong> macro on one knob</li>
<li><strong>Self-stable SEM-style filter (TPT):</strong> continuous LP → BP → HP → Notch morph, never blows up at full resonance; bipolar filter envelope (center off, right sweeps up, left down)</li>
<li>Two ADSR envelopes per voice per layer (amp + filter, ~4 ms–4 s exponential)</li>
<li>Post-filter <strong>wavefolder</strong>, soft-clip ceiling + limiter safety</li>
<li>48 kHz internal render, sample-rate independent output</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-modulation-6" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-modulation-6"></a>Modulation</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Three LFOs</strong> — 6 shapes each (Sin, Tri, Saw, Sqr, S&amp;H, Rnd), free-running or host-BPM synced (4 bar…1/32)</li>
<li><strong>Two generative MOD lanes (MOD1/MOD2)</strong> — each is its own step sequencer with its own algorithm, driving any modulation target with absolute MIN…MAX ranges</li>
<li><strong>One 50-entry destination table</strong> shared by all LFOs and MOD lanes:
<ul>
<li>All classic targets (pitch, timbre, morph, harmonics, filter cutoff/reso/type/env, amp, drift, detune, chorus, porta, fold, engine-stepping)</li>
<li><strong>Per-layer pairs</strong> — hit OSC1 only, OSC2 only, or both</li>
<li><strong>Bal</strong> — modulate the layer crossfade itself</li>
<li>Delay &amp; reverb knobs</li>
<li><strong>SEQ knobs</strong> — LFOs morph the generated pattern live (still deterministic)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Every targeted knob animates on screen and names its source; multiple sources combine predictably</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-generative-sequencer-7" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-generative-sequencer-7"></a>Generative sequencer</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Five algorithms</strong> from the VEKTE engine: WAVE (wave interference), EUCL (Euclidean), WALK (random walk), LOGI (logistic map), CELL (cellular automaton) — four knobs each, labels follow the algorithm</li>
<li>32-step patterns, 1–32 step window, step lengths <strong>1/32 … 2 BAR</strong> — slow evolving pads and fast arps from the same control</li>
<li>Per-step probability (rerolled once per cycle — stable cycles, no mid-note flicker), gate length, swing, velocity, FWD/REV/PING/RAND direction</li>
<li><strong>Scale quantization:</strong> 12 scales × root × octave, 1–4 octave span</li>
<li><strong>Chords:</strong> 10 types (MAJ, MIN, 5, SUS2, SUS4, MAJ7, MIN7, 7, ADD9, DIM) stacked per step</li>
<li><strong>TIE:</strong> a note plus its rests becomes one long held note — and a held key to the arp</li>
<li><strong>Deterministic:</strong> every pattern is a pure function of algorithm + knobs; presets recall the exact sequence</li>
<li>Two synth <strong>MACRO knobs</strong> on the SEQ page, bindable to any parameter</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-arpeggiator-8" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-arpeggiator-8"></a>Arpeggiator</h2>
<ul>
<li>Modes: <strong>SEQ:NOTES/TRUE × RTRG/FREE</strong> (the sequence as arp material, two independent read laws), plus <strong>UP / DOWN / UP-DN / DN-UP / ORDER / RAND / CHORD</strong> on held notes</li>
<li>Own step length (ARP DIV) beside the sequencer’s DIV — <strong>two independent playheads</strong>, drawn separately on the grid</li>
<li>Held-note modes fall back to the sequence when nothing is held — selecting an arp mode never silences a running SEQ</li>
<li><strong>Additive LATCH:</strong> presses add to the pool, re-press removes one note, latch-off clears</li>
<li>Two-octave on-screen keyboard with glissando, feeds the arp pool, lights for host MIDI too</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-transport-sync-9" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-transport-sync-9"></a>Transport &amp; sync</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sync: FREE / SLAVE / MASTER</strong> — SLAVE follows the host transport fully (play/pause/stop, locked to song position); works in AUM with transport stopped (FREE runs on tempo)</li>
<li><strong>Start: NEXT BAR / IMMEDIATE</strong> — mid-bar transport starts stay armed (pulsing) until the bar line</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-effects-10" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-effects-10"></a>Effects</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Delay (DLY):</strong> DIGITAL / TAPE / PING / LOFI; bipolar TIME — free 10 ms–2 s one way, tempo-synced 1/32…2 BAR at host BPM the other; feedback as decay time (0–10 s)</li>
<li><strong>Reverb (REV):</strong> HALL / ROOM / PLATE / <strong>SHIMMER</strong> — dual pitch-shifter shimmer with a stereo-orbiting halo into a dedicated FDN tail (2–30 s decay)</li>
<li>One shared post-mix FX stage for both layers; chorus + wavefolder at chain end</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-sharing-presets-11" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-sharing-presets-11"></a>Sharing &amp; presets</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>TRS2 share key:</strong> the entire patch — both OSC layers, all three LFOs, delay/reverb, the full SEQ system and both MOD lanes — in one ~155-character string</li>
<li><strong>Patch QR:</strong> SHARE modal renders the key as a QR + exports a 1080×1350 social card via the iOS share sheet</li>
<li><strong>Scan patch QR…</strong> — read a patch off a screen or print with the camera</li>
<li>Preset save / load / rename / delete in the UI; <strong>QSAVE</strong> one-tap save under a generated two-word name</li>
<li><strong>Våld factory bank</strong> (★ presets), read-only</li>
<li>Presets shared between standalone and AUv3 — one library everywhere</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-midi-connectivity-12" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-midi-connectivity-12"></a>MIDI &amp; connectivity</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>MIDI CC mapping:</strong> learn by moving a controller or type the CC number directly; per-knob long-press menu; persisted with state</li>
<li><strong>Bluetooth MIDI</strong> pairing (CoreAudioKit sheet)</li>
<li><strong>Network MIDI</strong> (RTP-MIDI session) — wireless MIDI from a Mac or another iOS device</li>
<li>Velocity → engine level; all-notes-off / all-sound-off handled</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-ui-13" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-ui-13"></a>UI</h2>

<li>OSC 1 / OSC 2 tabs, FX | DEL | REV and LFO 1 | 2 | 3 tab banks, sectioned ☰ menu (PERFORM / CONNECT / PRESETS)</li>
<li>Live modulation arcs on every knob; MOD lane telltales in lane colors</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="p-2560380-specs-14" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2560380-specs-14"></a>Specs</h2>

          <title>Decksaver quality issues?</title>

          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>Just bought my first actual Decksaver for my humble Microkorg and I kinda thought it’d fit the synth snugly but it’s like 1-2 mm loose to both directions. It’s also warped / unbalanced or something cos when I press ever so lightly from the low left-hand corner, the decksaver rocks and clunks. And it doesn’t do the same when pressed from the other corners.</p>
<p>I know it’s just a decksavers but for a 40€ piece of plastic I’m disappointed with the quality and don’t think I’ll ever buy another Decksaver.</p>
<p>Anyone with similar experiences?</p>

            <p>Okay, it’s just a handful of us. But normal rules apply. Everyone will choose their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place tracks. 1st place is 3 points. 2nd place is 2 points. 3rd place is 1 point. Only folks that submitted tracks can vote.</p>
<p>I decided against trying to futz around with soundcloud or bandcamp and just make a google folder to share. Let me know if you have any issues listening.</p>

          <title>What tape delay device(s) do you use?</title>
          <dc:creator><![CDATA[g0nz0uk]]></dc:creator>
          <category>Other Gear</category>
          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>Hello,</p>
<p>I’ve been watching a few videos on some simple melody going coming from an external synth into a real tape looper which has built in FX and wow it sounded amazing and peaked my interest as I like ambient music (drones, soundscape stuff).</p>
<p>It made me think would other devices are out there that can produce these tape loops and there is a lot, what do you use?</p>
<p>I like the look of the Chase Bliss Mood mk2.</p>
<p>I’d like to get a device or 2 to run at the end of my chain.  I have a Digitone 2, Digitakt OG and Novation Peak.</p>
<p>I did look at modular, but that gets expensive, but liked the idea of some sort of small FX rack like the Instruō Arbhar and Mutable Instruments Beads.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

            <p>Does anyone use the Digitone as their main unit and pair it with an analogue synth for a different flavour? I’m thinking about pairing a desktop Analog unit with mine for a bit if variation. Just something small, mono or paraphonic would be fine. I love the vermona Perfourmer sound, I’m just worried that it’s too big for my desk and the 4 voices would be overkill with the DN 16 tracks.<br>
I know they make a mono lancet which also looks nice.</p>

            <p>Hey guys, I’m trying to connect the MC-101 to the Tonverk to use as a sound source.</p>
<p>When I have my MC setup as “Generic” it works this way with iPad, OP-1, OP-XY, but somehow the Tonverk doesn’t recognize it. Either as MIDI or Audio.</p>
<p>I tried powering it up with batteries or via USB only. Same result.</p>
<p>Am I missing something?</p>
<p>I feel like it’s a bug.</p>

          <title>Synth that can also sequence module</title>

            <p>Hey there, I’m kind of at my wits end trying to figure out “the right” hardware setup for  my ideal use case (I feel like many will relate…)</p>
<p>I’d like to sequence two synths at the same time. With parallel, but different sequences. I.e. one synth plays bass, other plays lead, etc. Either seq, or arp at times.</p>
<p>Ideally to save on space one would be keyed, and so I could play both a keyed synth and module from the same keybed. However, if this doesn’t exist, I’d be willing to use two modules. “Worst case scenario” would be a keyboard, sequencer, and two modules, just because that is 4 devices and a lot cables/desk space usage.</p>
<p>Does anything like this exist? I know the Prophet Rev 2 appears to have 2 sequencing “lanes” but I’m wary and the manual is not explicit. The Leviasynth appears to have 3 sequencer “tracks” but I need to read the manual more to understand.</p>
<p>Maybe the Digitone, and therefore the Digitone Keys fits my description best?</p>
<p>Counting on you folks to unearth some hidden knowledge for me here. Thanks.</p>

            <p>I couldn’t see anything else on the forum about this, but Tim Exile has a new modular platform in development.</p>
<p>I know there’s a current wave of AI slop modular tools and VST synths but I’m sure many of us are aware that Tim is a heavyweight instrument building expert who has been at the forefront of Reaktor development for decades.</p>
<p>It’s in early access and web-based at the moment, but standalone/plugin is coming soon and it’s pretty cheap at £69 for early adopters and £99 at launch. He certainly always seems to come up with interesting ideas and new ways of making music.</p>
<p>I’m always curious about software tools that get away from the usual DAW paradigm and I’m sure this will be interesting to many people here trying to find or build new ways of working.</p>

            <p>Hi gang, here’s a new album by me…</p>
<p>Octatrack as sequencer (and some sampling), Analog RYTM on drums, other sounds coming from Prophet Rev2, Korg Opsix, Minibrute 2, Blofeld, Digitone 1, and electric guitar.</p>
<p>No computer, no overdubs <img src="https://www.elektronauts.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12" title=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" alt=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20"> just sequenced and recorded directly from the mixer outs.</p>
<p>Not the most convenient of working methods! I had to go back and re-record a whole track if I heard a single dodgy hi hat…but it was fun!</p>

            <p>Digitone gen 1, OS 1.42. When I flip the power switch, a bunch of the button lights flash on for less than a second — basically everything except FUNC, MIDI, Add Notes/Arp, PTN, and BANK (see photos) — then it all goes dark. The screen never lights up at all, ever.</p>
<p>What I’ve tried so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>Left it completely powered off for a full 24 hours, then tried again — no change</li>
<li>Held FUNC while powering on to try to get into the startup menu, even though I couldn’t see anything on screen — same LED pattern, nothing different</li>
<li>Reinstalled the OS from scratch through the startup menu using Elektron Transfer over MIDI (not USB), since I couldn’t see the screen to confirm anything. The transfer software said it finished successfully (went up to 100%), but the unit never rebooted on its own afterward. I turned it off and back on manually and got the exact same symptom as before.</li>
</ul>
<p>Since reinstalling the OS didn’t change anything, my guess is this is an actual hardware problem rather than a software/firmware issue. Has anyone run into this exact thing? Trying to figure out if it’s worth trying to open it up and check for a loose connection myself, versus going through Elektron support, versus a local repair shop.</p>
<p>Also really hoping to get my projects off the +Drive before anything else happens to it, if that’s even possible at this point — any advice there is welcome too. Photos/video below.</p>

          <title>Digitone 2 „Classic Style“ Presets Pack anywhere?</title>
          <dc:creator><![CDATA[Simpleuser]]></dc:creator>

          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>I just got my DN2 today.</p>
<p>Amazing little beast.  The only thing i am not sure how i feel about are the presets.<br>
Apart form them having crazy deviations in Loudness when auditioning<br>
(Like the preset „Plankan“ if i remember correctly) have Ear drum blowing up potential.  I really wish there was a dedicated Volume control for the Auditioning,<br>
Anyhow. Back to the subject.<br>
I usually dont use Presets, especially when they have too much character as i like to modify them so i like simple Base style sounds and take it from there.<br>
So i wondered. I did a quick search but did not find what i want.</p>
<p>I know it might sound boring for some but i would gladly pay for a Preset Pack that  has some emulations of classics like 808 drums and 909 drums (or other classic drum computers)  or at least approximations and then some „simple , "Soft Wide Pad“ direction Pads, old school 80s juicy synth bass etc  and more Non Unique sounds. I feel like the "Presets are trying a bit too hard“  for my taste.<br>
Reason i would gladly pay is that i am a bit tired of creating basic things like my 200th attempt on a  808 style kickdrum just because it is not there.<br>
If you knom anything in this direction i would appreciate a hint of the direction</p>

          <title>A custom 8 track stereo looper/sampler and mixer</title>

            <p>Built with Intech Grid and Raspberry Pi.<br>
I’ve built this because I have tried so many loopers and none of them do enough without a complicated interface. I love loopers but I think the biggest issue is mixing properly, re-recording, removing, and filtering layers. This looper fixes that by adding an individual channel per loop, with dedicated controls.</p>
<p>Here is the list of features:</p>
<ul>
<li>8 tracks, each can record and overdub.</li>
<li>Loops are quantize to the first loop but can have different lengths.</li>

            <p>I’ve rewritten OctaChainer, a free Win/Mac tool for creating sample chains for the Octatrack and other samplers. The important changes are “under the hood”, with a much better codebase that is easier to maintain. In addition to bugfixes and improved error handling, I’ve added some new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Import of existing Octatrack chains</li>
<li>Loading/saving wav files with embedded cue markers</li>
<li>Improved UI with waveform display</li>
<li>Possibility to trim start/end of slices</li>
<li>Splitting/merging of slices</li>
<li>Command line support for batch operations</li>
<li>VST3 plugin for Cubase integration</li>
</ul>

            <p>I’ve had difficulties with trigs and it seems like a new UI PCB is in order, $188 with shipping from Elektron direct. Are there any safe ways to get a deal on one elsewhere? Probably not but thought I’d ask before I do it.</p>

            <p>Hi Folks.</p>
<p>Do others like editing patterns in a Piano Roll like me?</p>
<p>I created <a href="https://zooloo303.github.io/digi-roll/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Digi-Roll</a> (a free app) for just that purpose. This little helper app, that nobody asked for, will let you:</p>
<ul>
<li>write a pattern in a piano roll and send it directly to your device</li>
<li>import a pattern from your device, edit it in a piano roll and write it directly back</li>
<li>use a chord generator when creating patterns and send them directly to your DN2</li>
<li>midi import/export</li>
<li>supports probability, conditional trigs and a number of p-locks for commonly used parameters</li>
<li>other features to explore</li>
</ul>
<p>at the minute it only supports direct write to DT2 and DN2 because those are the only machines I own with usb midi, if anyone finds this remotely useful and wants to help support other machines like DN1/DT1/SYNTAKT/A4/AR/ let me know.<br>
a huge thanks to <a href="https://github.com/mzero/elk-herd" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">elk-herd</a> by <a class="mention" href="https://www.elektronauts.com/u/mzero">@mzero</a> for the sysex protocol.</p>
<p>try it out today, or not, no worries … it’s free.</p>

          <title>Octatrack flex track records very quiet</title>
          <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr_Saff]]></dc:creator>
          <category>Octatrack</category>
          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>I just lost an hour of my life, and couldn’t find a similar thread here. Hoping to save the next soul and make this discoverable.</p>
<p>TL;DR: it looked like my flex track was recording very quiet. Spoiler alert: it was user error plus a very confusing Octatrack behaviour.</p>
<p>I set up a flex track to record loops from another track (a thru originally but it doesn’t matter). Rec1 setup source to the right SRC3 input, quantised recording and playback. When hitting record, I can see a waveform for my flex’s AED, but it’s incredibly quiet. Inaudible unless I crank gain, filter distortion, etc. I can hear the source just fine when it plays, I can see the waveform refresh every time I record my flex, but I can barely hear the recording. Fresh project, no FX, no scene, AMP page as expected, record another static track rather than thru, the whole debugging experience, hair pulling included.</p>
<p>Turns out, I was hitting REC1 rather than REC3 as one should for recording another track. But somehow some audio still bleeds from recording A/B by hitting REC1, giving the illusion that the recording setup is good, while I am literally recording the wrong input.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure this happened to me more than once.</p>

            <p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I’m wondering if anyone owns both of these units and has had a chance to compare them.  I’m not looking to see if one is better than the other.  I know they’re both very capable high-end drum machines.  I have the RYTM MK2 and think it’s terrific.  What I’m wondering is if the TR1000 has any distinct advantages over the RYTM MK2, particularly in terms of workflow.</p>
<p>In terms of my use case, I’m not dawless.  I do most of my work in a daw, but I just like programming drum machines and using them within my daw.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Some time ago I completely stopped making music on my computer. Nowadays I only use it to record individual tracks and later, if needed, for mixing and mastering. My Elektron Syntakt has become the “brain” of my setup, controlling everything else (Edge, Spice, Digitakt II and Pro-800), while my Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus was always sitting next to the gear… Doing absolutely nothing. So I thought it was finally time to give it a purpose.</p>
<p>At first, I only wanted to build a simple <strong>visual metronome.</strong> Just a small tool that would display useful information like beats, bars and phrases. I guess I’m one of those people who always needs everything to line up perfectly, so instead of focusing entirely on the music, I often caught myself counting bars in my head and waiting for the end of an 8- or 16-bar phrase before making a transition.</p>
<p>Since the Syntakt already sends <strong>MIDI Clock</strong>, I figured… Why not use it?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>That simple idea slowly turned into something much bigger.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If the application can already receive MIDI messages, then obviously it can send them too. One thing I always missed on the Syntakt was a simple random pattern generator. I had also been looking for a small device that could generate some random triggers during jams.</p>
<p>At first, I simply wanted to press one button and see what happened. But after thinking about it for a while, I realized I didn’t actually want completely random triggers. I wanted something that could generate musically useful rhythms — patterns that make sense and serve as a starting point rather than pure chaos.</p>
<p>From there, the project kept growing.</p>
<p>Today it has evolved into a visual MIDI transport, a drum pattern generator, a melody composer, MIDI monitoring and several other tools that naturally appeared during development.</p>
<p>The application has now reached a point where I actually enjoy using it during every jam session. It often generates ideas I wouldn’t have programmed myself and, in a way, it has become an external companion to my hardware rather than another sequencer or DAW.</p>
<p>I’d like to share this early Alpha 0.1 version with you and hear what you think. I’m curious whether I’m the only one who felt the need for something like this, or if some of you would also find it useful.</p>
<p>The application is completely free. I built it primarily for myself, but I thought other hardware users might find it useful too.</p>

<p>GrooVoid currently consists of three modules.</p>

<p>Works with <strong>MIDI IN</strong> only.</p>
<p>It listens for standard <strong>MIDI Clock</strong>, Start and Stop messages and displays BPM, beats, bars and phrase progression in real time. Even on its own it works as a visual transport monitor for any hardware setup.</p>
<h3><a name="p-2559196-pattern-generator-3" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2559196-pattern-generator-3"></a>Pattern Generator</h3>
<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://eu5.dh-cdn.net/uploads/db8181/original/4X/a/0/0/a005977c026e08ec78c901f686d56e1533e1d8e2.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/mPCnhsLRYzTExv6Au6KFIa8bg0W.jpeg?dl=1" title="03_generator" rel="noopener nofollow ugc"><img src="https://eu5.dh-cdn.net/uploads/db8181/optimized/4X/a/0/0/a005977c026e08ec78c901f686d56e1533e1d8e2_2_312x500.jpeg" alt="03_generator" data-base62-sha1="mPCnhsLRYzTExv6Au6KFIa8bg0W" width="312" height="500" srcset="https://eu5.dh-cdn.net/uploads/db8181/optimized/4X/a/0/0/a005977c026e08ec78c901f686d56e1533e1d8e2_2_312x500.jpeg, https://eu5.dh-cdn.net/uploads/db8181/optimized/4X/a/0/0/a005977c026e08ec78c901f686d56e1533e1d8e2_2_468x750.jpeg 1.5x, https://eu5.dh-cdn.net/uploads/db8181/optimized/4X/a/0/0/a005977c026e08ec78c901f686d56e1533e1d8e2_2_624x1000.jpeg 2x" data-dominant-color="151210"></a></div><p></p>
<p>The Pattern Generator is always available and immediately generates MIDI patterns. If a MIDI Output device is connected, the generated notes are sent directly to your external hardware using standard MIDI messages.</p>
<p>The selected instrument matters. Kick, hi-hats, percussion, rides and other instruments all use different generation rules and probabilities, so changing the instrument also changes the generated rhythm.</p>

<p>Generates melodic patterns.</p>
<p>It lets you choose MIDI channel, root note, musical scale and several generation parameters before sending notes to external hardware.</p>

<h2><a name="p-2559196-compatibility-5" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2559196-compatibility-5"></a>Compatibility</h2>
<p>The application uses only standard MIDI messages, so in theory it should work with virtually any MIDI-compatible hardware or software.</p>
<p>Although it was designed around my own setup with the Elektron Syntakt acting as the master clock, nothing in the application depends on Elektron-specific MIDI implementation.</p>
<p>So far I’ve tested it successfully with all of my own gear.</p>
<p>The interface was designed primarily for tablets. It should scale to different Android devices, but I haven’t tested enough hardware yet to guarantee perfect results on every screen size.</p>
<p>I also put together a Windows version, just in case someone prefers using a PC instead of a tablet. It offers the same functionality as the Android version.</p>
<p>I’m currently working on a proper user manual that explains all modules and generation options in detail.</p>

<h2><a name="p-2559196-a-small-note-about-the-rec-button-6" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2559196-a-small-note-about-the-rec-button-6"></a>A small note about the REC button</h2>
<p>You may notice a REC button in the transport controls.</p>
<p>Originally I hoped to start recording on the Syntakt directly from the application. Unfortunately, after a lot of testing, I discovered that the Syntakt simply doesn’t support starting pattern recording via MIDI.</p>
<p>So, the button doesn’t actually do anything right now! But I decided to leave it there for sentimental reasons.</p>
<h2><a name="p-2559196-midi-clock-accuracy-7" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2559196-midi-clock-accuracy-7"></a>MIDI Clock accuracy</h2>
<p>One thing I noticed during testing is that the displayed BPM isn’t always a perfect 1:1 representation of the incoming clock.</p>
<p>The transport itself (beats, bars and phrases) stays perfectly in sync, but the calculated BPM value may occasionally fluctuate by a small amount. This seems to be caused by the timing accuracy of incoming <strong>MIDI Clock</strong> messages rather than the transport itself.</p>
<p>In practice it hasn’t affected usability during jams.</p>
<hr>
<h2><a name="p-2559196-current-status-8" class="anchor" href="https://www.elektronauts.com#p-2559196-current-status-8"></a>Current status</h2>
<p>This is the first public Alpha (0.1) release.</p>
<p>The application has been tested extensively with my own hardware setup, but this is the first time it is being used outside my studio.</p>
<p>If you decide to give it a try, I’d really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions right here in this thread.</p>
<p>This project started as a personal tool, but I’d love to see where it could go with input from other hardware users. I’m sure there are still bugs and rough edges, so please don’t hesitate to point them out.</p>

</p>
<p>Two versions: “32” for melodies / chords, “16” for beats.</p>
<p>Comes with and obviously best with Studio Pro DAW, but apparently also has integration with Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, and Cubase.</p>
<p>Looks promising!</p>

            <p>The brilliance of Model:Cycles is in its immediacy.</p>
<p>Its four main sound controls don’t feel like sound design parameters, they feel like performance tools.</p>
<p>In bypassing sound design, you are thrust right into performance and pattern creation.</p>
<p>Would absolutely love to see a synth only version of Tonverk that adopted this principle of immediacy, with a handful of maybe 8-10 macro based polyphonic synth machines, that you could route into a suite of maybe 6-8 FX.</p>
<p>It would be the depth of possibility of Tonverk, combined with the stark immediacy of Model:Cycles, in a synth only groovebox that quickly launches you into the stratosphere. Gotta have more groovebox!</p>

          <title>Is there a live trig param on the roadmap?</title>
          <dc:creator><![CDATA[TheRealJimmyDeluxe]]></dc:creator>

          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>I was editing the TRIG PARAM’s of my evolving bassline. Is the workflow by design that you manually set each note to a value? Because on my TR-8S I can record the knob turning. This feels like a faster way to record my automation? I also connected my MPC with MIDI to the Syntakt. This way I can also record the automation into MPC but then I need to have the MPC always there.</p>

          <title>RECORD + pressing PLAY twice shortcut for Live Record Quantize not working?</title>

            <p>Hey Elektronauts-- I’m trying to toggle <strong>Live Record Quantize</strong> while recording MIDI on an Octatrack MKII (OS 1.40C).</p>
<p>The Quick Guide (p. 26, <strong>Live Recording Mode</strong> ) says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode. Quickly pressing [PLAY] twice while keeping the [RECORD] key pressed will activate/deactivate quantization of LIVE RECORDING.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On my machine, holding <strong>RECORD</strong> and pressing <strong>PLAY</strong> enters Live Recording as expected, but pressing <strong>PLAY</strong> a second time doesn’t appear to do anything. I never see a “REC QUANTIZED” or “REC UNQUANTIZED” message, and testing with MIDI recording/microtiming suggests the quantize state doesn’t change.</p>
<p>The only reliable way I’ve found to toggle it is:</p>
<p><strong>PROJECT → SYSTEM → PERSONALIZE → QUANTIZE LIVE REC</strong></p>
<p>Am I misunderstanding how the shortcut is supposed to work, or is it no longer functional in OS 1.40C?</p>

          <title>Would earning income from your presets bind you to a plugin ecosystem?</title>

          <description><![CDATA[
            <p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking about ecosystem lock-in and sound design monetization lately.</p>
<p>Most VST companies sell official expansion packs, while independent sound designers host preset packs on Gumroad, Patreon, or preset sites.</p>
<p>Are there any plugin companies (synth or FX) that actually run a native marketplace where users can sell their own presets or sample packs directly to other users inside the ecosystem / vendor hub?</p>
<p>Specifically curious about:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Do you know of any software instrument or FX vendors who tried this?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you create patches or samples, would having a direct in-ecosystem store make you stick with a plugin platform over competitors, or do you prefer third-party storefronts?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What stopped existing vendors from doing this. payment processing friction, quality control, or lack of volume?</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Would love to hear how patch creators and regular users view this concept.</p>

            <p>Seeing the softwares available, there didn’t seem to be much in the way of editing scenes and drag/drop scenes into different slots. I ended up creating a very rudimentary build to help with what I wanted to do.</p>
<p>Drag drop scenes into different slots<br>
Copy Paste Delete scenes<br>
Tracks 1-8 select the available effects for FX1 &amp; FX2<br>
Exposing all knobs for a track in one screen<br>
Simple assignment editor to connect any parameter to X fader<br>
Export to .work file to drop directly into CF</p>
<p>it’s simple but it served the purpose I needed it for - no plans to expand it much beyond where it’s at but figured if there was interest here I could work on finishing it up to put it on git</p>

            <p>I have an analog keys that I’m not using much at the minute for sounds, but I am using it’s keybed as it’s the best I own. Unfortunately it takes up a lot of space. I’d love to use the synth space as a shelf for my virus B desktop synth. Anybody done anything similar? Any suggestions for a cover/shelf solution?</p>
