Improved Machine Browser for Elektron Analog Rytm

Browse the machine list without loading each machine, and jump between its sections with FUNC + UP or DOWN. YES loads.

Module version 0.1.0-experimental. Base firmware: 1.74.

About this module

Stock loads every machine the machine list's outline passes, so the track's sound and SRC page change while you scroll. Here UP, DOWN and the knobs only move the outline: nothing loads until YES, and NO leaves the track as it was. FUNC + DOWN jumps to the first machine of the next section (BD, SD, SY and so on), and FUNC + UP to the top of the current section, then of the one above.

• Scroll the machine list without changing the track's sound
• YES loads the outlined machine, NO changes nothing
• FUNC + UP or DOWN jumps between the list's sections
• Knobs A-H browse as the arrows do, with FUNC for sections

How to use it

1. Press SRC twice to open the machine list on the BD track.
2. Press DOWN a few times: the outline moves and the header asks Confirm? Y/N, but the BD keeps its machine and its SRC page.
3. Press FUNC + DOWN: the outline jumps to SY DUAL VCO, the first machine of the next section. FUNC + UP goes back to the top of the BD section.
4. Press YES: the outlined machine loads and the list closes. Open it again, scroll and press NO: nothing changed.

Compatibility notes

• Tapping the track's pad in the list plays the machine the track has, not the outlined one: press YES to hear a machine.
• Sections are the list's own dotted lines: with the Modwerk base's machine list sections, a mod machine sits in its section; without them it sits above BD.

Test evidence

On a unit (MBC3, the author's 16-module set): browsing without loading, YES and NO, held arrows, knob turns and FUNC section jumps with the arrows and the knobs, as reported. rytm-emu on OS 1.74, alone on the base and in the set: arrows, section jumps, YES and NO (TESTING.md).
