I’m sure a few of you will be interested in this… Elektron just updated Syntakt, Digitakt, and Digitone and they all got song mode plus other improvements!

My Syntakt says thank you Elektron.

Portamento and note priority on the Syntakt are big and much needed improvements as well!

This is great. I didn’t like the workarounds with plocks

I’m gonna wait until tomorrow before upgrading but this is exciting!

Anything interesting on the global effects in Syntakt?

Improvements
Implemented Song mode. The [···] key has been re-purposed and is now the [SONG MODE] key. The PATTERN menu has been moved to the SETTINGS menu.

Implemented portamento functionality. The portamento parameters are on the TRIG page, and the portamento settings are found in the SOUND menu > SETUP menu.

Added PITCH BEND DEPTH setting.

Added the possibility to select note priority when playing a sound (LAST, LOW, HIGH).

Added a legato on/off setting.

Added a the possibility to select how velocity data will affect the amp volume when playing the sound using the VELOCITY TO VOL parameter.

Implemented a FILTER ENV RESET parameter to set the filter envelope reset behavior.

Added a GLOBAL FX/MIX menu item in the SETTINGS menu. In the GLOBAL FX/MIX menu, you have the option to set the parameters on the INTERNAL MIXER, EXTERNAL MIXER, and the FX TRACK's SYN, FILTER, AMP, DELAY, REVERB, LFO pages to be global (making any change to these parameters affect all patterns in the project and not only the active pattern).

It is now possible to toggle MUTE mode while the SOUND BROWSER is open.

It is now possible to set the digital tracks (T1-T8) to USB out in the AUDIO ROUTING menu.

Bug fixes
The MIDI tracks' CC VAL parameters were not controllable as specified.

Using Trig preview or manually trigging a note on a MIDI track only sent the root note.

Randomizing the SYN page on the analog tracks erroneously randomized the TUNE parameter.

The AMP reset parameter (AENR) did not affect the sound/envelope on the FX track.

The delay effect could, under some circumstances, produce clicks on the analog voices.

Changing the FILTER KEYTRACK parameter while playing could sometimes result in a faulty sound behavior.

Yeah, that was the other one I was hoping for. It seems like it must be in the plans, since Syntakt has a 1GB +drive, but do we know if it's even possible?

I can see where Elektron might not implement it so that it doesn't kill the sales of Digitakt, but.....

I was also hoping that maybe we'd get a few more digital synth machines in Syntakt, but maybe in v1.2 (not that it's lacking in its current state but, hey, more is more betterer, right?)

Yup- considering the Syntakt is pretty new I am sure there is a lot more to come...the song mode is a big deal across the range, so I am glad to have it...it was probably more needed than new machines...but now we have it, new machines please

Adding this here too. One minute in and pretty clever feature.

Between this and the Elektron (Ricky vid) it shows it’s dead easy/simple to setup. I’m happy.
