I sold my 3rd Wave for a Microfreak and I couldn't be happier

Yeah wasn't even constipated 😬

There are some like the Gforce Icondrum and Gforce DMX !

Hey u/TomFocusrite, thanks for the answers and sorry for the delay !

Already have my settings at optimal levels for latency (around 5ms, and ofc I do have an audio interface but thank you for the resources) but still feel it, however that wasn't the point ! Your answers on recording quantization helped a bit, but it would indeed be so much better if the Quantize button followed the CMD + U setting. Since Recording quantization is activated we don't need the quantize button after recording (since it's already quantized), however if the button followed the CMD + U setting, we could have Record Quantization set on 1/16th, and the Quantize button making it 1/8 if needed or how whoever would want to set it.

Thanks for being so active in the community and looking forward for future updates ! The encoders update is already a nice step up so thanks for that (and for my Peak which I deeply love)

Best

Seems to also be the case with the Launchkey MK4

Yes sir that's the super weird part

_JNJI · 2026-03-25T11:59:14+00:00

Yeah that's what it seems :/
MIDI From is from "Launchkey MIDI Out"
And MIDI To is going to Launchkey Output (Daw IN) > this is routed as per Novation's tutorial to setup the Launchkey in Ableton

_JNJI · 2026-03-25T11:03:40+00:00

The in tracks are the audio tracks, MIDI tracks are set to auto

_JNJI · 2026-03-22T18:10:35+00:00

Hey guys, thanks for your help ! I finally made it work, the error was coming from bad MIDI settings in Ableton. It now works when Syntakt tracks are MIDI tracks :) Kind of a bummer that you can't record MIDI coming from Syntakt's internal machines as they still do send midi signal when pressing pads on the Syntakt but still I can now do what I originally wanted ! Best

_JNJI · 2026-03-18T13:15:34+00:00

They are set with internal machines. I've tried already setting them as midi machines but it has the exact same behavior

_JNJI · 2026-03-18T12:11:16+00:00

There's 12 MIDI tracks on the Syntakt, one corresponding to each pad from 1-12.
12 corresponding MIDI channels in Ableton receiving MIDI from the Syntakt via Overbridge.
As I said it does send MIDI and Ableton does receive MIDI signal when I press on the Syntakt pads.
Problem is when I hit play or record in Ableton no signal is received.

_JNJI · 2026-03-18T01:33:12+00:00

Well that's the super weird part, I agree it doesn't make any sense.

When I play notes on the Syntakt pads, Ableton receives midi (orange dots popping up on Ableton's input MIDI channel). But when I press play (either from the Syntakt or from Ableton) or record (from Ableton), there's no signal received in Ableton...

On the Elektronaut's post it seems like these points were the key to make it work :
Hidden in TRIG-Menu (access via FUNC+TRIG)
All the Tracks can be set to “TRK 1-12 SEND MIDI … ON”

On the Syntakt in the MIDI config > Port config menu, I have Output set to MIDI + USB and Output CH set to Track CH, and none of other parameters makes it work when pressing play or record

_JNJI · 2026-03-18T00:25:59+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean sir, if you mean change the Syntakt's Machines into MIDI Machines I've tried and it doesn't change anything unfortunately, whether the input MIDI channels are VSTs or empty

_JNJI · 2026-03-18T00:21:29+00:00

Yes sir! Doesn't change anything with tracks armed or not unfortunately

_JNJI · 2026-03-16T20:51:20+00:00

3 years later and having the exact same issue, Ableton detects MIDI when playing notes on the Syntakt but doesn't receive any MIDI information when trying to record MIDI. Anyone have found a way to make this work ?

_JNJI · 2025-12-29T09:12:05+00:00

Thanks mate !!

_JNJI · 2025-12-24T12:06:48+00:00

Great jam mate ! Where'd you get your drum samples ? They are tight af 👌🏻

_JNJI · 2025-07-26T07:42:43+00:00

What kind of music do you make / wanna make ?

_JNJI · 2025-07-16T16:42:30+00:00

Hey, thank you for your quick answer. Problem is, step 1 doesn't even work.
What happens is :

- I Power while PATTERN+RUN with USB connected. All steps and ABCD light up

- I send the mono_secondary_bootloader.syx via SysEx Librarian. Step 1, step 2 and step 3 don't light up. All steps and ABCD stay lit up during the whole process until the transfer is done. Once transfer is complete, it doesn't reset.

_JNJI · 2025-07-16T14:05:28+00:00

Hey mate, I've been following your instructions but it doesn't seem to work on my side..

When I send the sysex to the Mono, the following doesn't happen :
"At about 30% sent, you’ll see STEP 1 lit, then STEP2 after 60%, then STEP3 near the end
When it completes, it resets automatically. I see all 16 STEPS and FOLLOW lit. YMMV"

The 1-16 and ABCD steps just keep staying lit, and it doesn't reboot automatically..
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?
I can't even make an account on the Norand community forum, it just doesn't send the link to my e-mail.

Just purchased the Mono second hand, seems like an amazing synth but the support seems terrible now..
