TR-08 Not Displaying Steps in PATTERN WRITE
Posted: 09:19, 9 December 2017
Hi everyone. This is my first post so please be gentle (though this seems like a muuuuch friendlier forum than GS).
I have just created my first rhythm on the TR-08 using a combination of Step and Tap modes. Very exciting stuff!
My problem is that, after listening to the rhythm on Manual Play then deciding I want to remove one of the instrument's steps, when I go back to PATTERN WRITE + 1st PART, none of the steps for any of the instruments are illuminated on the BASIC RHYTHM / STEP NO button LEDs unless I start playing the rhythm.
Originally, I used Step for BD, CP, and CH then used Tap to add some CB. I have only programmed the 1st PART, Variation A. Both the BASIC VARIATION and I/F-VARIATION toggle / lever switches are set to 'A'. I have checked each instrument that I programmed and none of their steps will light up unless the rhythm is playing.
If I stop the rhythm (but I am still in PATTERN WRITE mode), the only lit LEDs are:
- TEMPO / MENU LED segment display (showing the tempo)
- BASIC VARIATION 'A'
- 1st PART
- BASIC RHYTHM / STEP NO '1' (this is flashing).
I've verified my firmware is the latest (1.03) and have turned the unit off and on again but this hasn't made a difference.
Does the TR-08 only indicate active steps in PATTERN WRITE mode when playing, am I doing something wrong or is there a fault? Thanks in advance for any advice.
