Hey all, Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. The Ambika Yam preset freezing my Electra. As soon as I move a knob on the Electra it changes values for a second and then it freezes up the Electra.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Hi @monkeyman,

it sounds like possible loop. Please try to disconnect Ambika from your E1. When disconnected, twist the knobs. That is to make sure that there is no freeze that would be caused by the preset. If that works, I would review MIDI settings on Ambika. Also, observing the log files with ElectraOne Console app can provide some pointers on what is happening.

Chees,

Martin

> Hey monkeyman, thanks for trying out the preset! Just tested - I have no problems with freezing on the Electra with firmware 2.1.6… I have connected the Electra to the Ambika via Ableton (one track from Electra to Ambika and another from Ambika to Electra)… On the Ambika I set Input to all “. . . .” and Output to “cont” so only the controls are send back to the Ambika. I have the latest YAM firmware on the Ambika. On the Electra all input is going/coming on Midi Channel 1. Maybe you watch wit…

Thanks so much for the detailed info. I changed the midi settings on my Ambika and my Electra no longer freezes. Perfect. This was totally confusing me. The Ambika can be a little tricky to fine some things as many are hidden in multiple window.  
Cheers for reaching out.
