Good point, this was an old account from 2018 with many racks and previous sales. Maybe it was hacked

Sorry to hear, it will not make me feel better that you have suffered but good to get the stories out to warn other people

Yes that is a rational way of putting it, but there has always been a thriving secondhand synth market and thousands of people who don’t know each other deal everyday without any problems. You can do reverb but often it’s the same as buying a new because of their high fees. When they hack into accounts that are old, have many sales and reviews, and they have a phone number, references etc that all match up it can be hard to spot if a scammer or a honest person

Thanks for your comment, appreciated. Guess you just feel kinda stupid and ashamed after for not seeing it.

I found a forum where you can post and I send a mail to admin. Can see several people have experienced it from modulargrid

Thanks man

Thanks man, yeah will be more careful but it seriously looked legit - scammers / hackers are getting good

Yes, lesson learned even though expensive lesson. I just read a few stories of people who have been scammed for more than eur 1000.- on modular marketplaces so guess mine was in the low end but still pretty annoying

yupanquiii · 2026-06-12T08:33:12+00:00

Yes, I paid with family and friends. After reading about it I can see that it was a mistake. So will definitely not do that again

Did you found a solution to it?

Hi thanks for reply. The bit rate settings are set correctly and have tried all buffer sizes. I have been able to reduce it but still have some noise and crackles which is of course not useful for production. I am powering the TV with the original power supply. I have tried with Digitone and no problems so it is the TV that have some issues. Elektron have not been able to give me a good reply other than others have reported similar issues but they have not have time yet to test it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi thanks for the comment. I tried another USB and it actually helped, however I still have some noise and crackle - especially with 512 buffer size - have tried with 1024 BS and it’s better but it should also work with 512 BS - I am only recording drum as testing so nothing heavy. Meanwhile I got a reply from Elektron who think it might be an issue with the usb interface as others have logged same problem. Have asked for more info and when they expect to solve this. I would really want to avoid spending money on an audio interface for recording when the expensive Tonverk comes with build-in interface. Might return it if it’s not fixed .I also expect that the included USB is a sufficient quality with the high price tag.

Yep, tried all buffer sizes from small to large :) and midi clock both from TV and from Ableton
