So, a fairly minor quirk: when I sync to Ableton, you can see the S2400 tempo indicator drift as it keeps up with the MIDI timecode clock.
It stays very well locked and the timing is stellar, but I find that after switching back to ‘internal’ sync mode, often the project tempo in the S2400 is left a BPM or two off. So if it were 127 BPM, after switching back to internal clock, it will be 127.9 or 126.3, etc, which obviously throws the sound of the song loops off.
It’s not a huge deal because I know now to watch for it, but in the past I have hit SAVE only to realize that I saved the new and incorrect BPM to the project, only to have to try to remember what it was previously at.
That would be great, even for times when you just use the machine on it’s own. I have accidentally changed the tempo of a project on some occasions and it can be challenging to get back to the original tempo if you forgot it.
Yeah I had that as well when using the machine on its own before.
Just throwing an idea but for example an extra “lock” icon left to the tempo field could be nice.
With the addition of a shortcut to achieve this. For example, shift+tempo+F8 or F9. Or just tempo +F8 or F9. Or the contrary F8 or F9 + tempo. (whatever would work best)
F8 or F9 being used to lock stuff on the machine.
It would show the popup screen below with the “lock” icon on the left of the tempo instead of the 3 horizontal bars
Just had the issue in pattern mode, after pressing stop on the DAW the bpm on the s2400 has a difference of 0.1 or 0.2. It’s easy to miss and save like this indeed.
I prefer the way it works in song mode where there’s no visible variation of the bpm.
Tips to help realize when the problem occurs:
●Writing the bpm on the project name or file names or pattern names.
●Inserting a song with the correct bpm so it’s easy to double check just in case.
