Thanks for the welcome!I just got a Tau, and perhaps I am missing somehting, but I am still hearing a "boom-tick" even after turning off all sounds in metronome play. It's irritating, and I don't want any drum noises; I want to be able to record loops without it. Where is it coming from?
ANNND just like that it's gone. Hmm. Perhaps I had inadvertently recorded a loop, but I can't see how that would have come to pass, given my less than four hours with the thing. Ahh well.
If it's an Alpha or a Tau, maybe you've pressed some buttons on one of the arrangers?
'not sure about the Tau but in the "drummer controls" there should be a key "clicker on off". It is separate from and in addition to the drummer voices (loops).
You might be interested in a hint by Geert as well:
"There's a way to play the first layer of a loop actually, with some tricks. I did it before with the Pico. Since EigenD sends out MIDI clock sync, you can send out a click on a separate channel just to your headphones, start the scheduler without any drum channels, record, and only then turn on the drums."

Thanks for the welcome!
After extensive forensic analysis (that is, thinking about what I had done)-- I had apparently set up some stuff in the step sequencer while being confused by the fast talking dude in the tutorial vid, and not erased/shut it off it properly.
Thanks for the "click track" hint-- I was using a cheap drum machine for the same purpose. I'll give that a go when I'm a little better with the instrument as a whole.
Looking forward to learning more, for sure.
