EZBOT on what he believes is the ultimate Elektron performance setup. I personally couldn’t handle that many Elektron boxes at once! 😅

I know there aren’t many people with the Sh-4d yet, but I wondered if anyone who has it already has tried sending or receiving program change messages (PCM’s) with other gear?
I can’t seem to get it to change patterns at the same time with most of my other gear. I’ve tested it with the UNO Synth Pro, Digitakt and Syntakt so far but it always changes one bar late. It seems to work well with the Roland T-8 though and both change patterns together in perfect sync, but I guess that’s because they are both made by the same manufacturer. Has anyone else had any success?

The Elektrons don’t seem to send the PC message until the pattern has actually changed, which means which ever machine is receiving the message still needs to cue up the next pattern resulting in it changing pattern one bar later.

This makes sense, but then why does my UNO Synth Pro change in perfect sync with the Digitakt but not the SH-4d? Wouldn’t this indicate that it’s a Roland issue?

It’s probably because the Uno synth is changing to a new patch and not a pattern (sequences are saved with each patch) so it changes immediately. Whereas the SH-4d is a pattern-based machine so it needs to cue the next pattern after receiving the message.

Can the Roland SH-4d sound like a TB-303?

Obviously not going to sound identical not being a clone, but it sounds pretty good and has the right vibe 😎

I’ve preordered, can’t wait to try it but it’s not coming until May! How did you get yours so quickly?

I was just really lucky I guess. I saw a store that had one in stock just a couple of days after it was announced and quickly placed my order. It came the next day!

I think he mainly uses the Octatrack as a live looper and effects box, but yeah, any more than two Elektron boxes I find too much to manage especially in a live situation.
