10 Quick Tips for Digitakt 2, Transitioning From Digitakt 1 | Hanging With Hexwave

I was talking to a friend who had some questions about how things worked on the new model as they have reorganized a lot of things. I'm an obsessive manual reader and over-thinker so I usually have these things down quickly, so I thought maybe it would be a helpful idea to make a quick video on it.
Please note this is NOT an "amazing new features of the Digitakt 2" video as I didn't go into many of the new features that make it a great upgrade, it is merely meant for people who are confused for how to do some basic things if you were previously familiar with the Digitakt 1, which is a fairly large number of people I think!
Anyways hope it's helpful, leave a comment if you have any other questions, I'm sure I'll be making plenty more videos in the future on this machine.

Does anyone know whether we can now use aftertouch/mod wheel from an external controller (such as the keystep) via the digitakt to control external synth? On my DT1 I can use my keysteps mod wheel or keyboard aftertouch, i can only modulate these parameters via the knobs on the DT. thanks :)

[@hexwavemusic]

I can't test this myself as I don't have any gear for it, but in general I don't think this would work unless you're using midi thru and thereby not using the Digitakt for controlling at all. But I can't say for sure, so hopefully someone else that can test for you can chime in.

Thanks for this! Question: there used to be a dedicated single cycle waveforms directory. Is it now no longer available, and SSW are now spread among other presets? Cheers

[@hexwavemusic]

Glad it was helpful! For your question, they are still in their own folder. It's in Factory, Oscillators, Single Cycles 👍

[@tacticalgrooveorbit2379]

strangely i can't fing how to loop page like you since i do not have green bouton lighted 9 10 11 12... when i press and hold PAGE while rec mode. 9 10 11 12 do not light at all. something i miss or maybe it doesn't work when we are in PER PATTERN mode

[@hexwavemusic]

My guess is you need to update? The page loop function came with a day one update so make sure that's installed. Otherwise there should be no problem 🤔

[@LaurentJadot]

Nice but we need more videos for the new Digitakt II users who does not have a clue how this thing works 😅

[@hexwavemusic]

Haha yes true! I'd love to do something like that but it takes a lot more time and this was just a quick thing I thought to put together. Maybe one day I can! In the meantime if you haven't seen it, True Cuckoo did a very long video tutorial for beginners which is quite good 👍 Cheers!

no metronome shortcut? thats annoying. at least they kept the quantize shortcut. i hate the digitone quantize hidden menu function

[@hexwavemusic]

Yeah I agree, quantize needs a shortcut and glad it's still there. A shame about the metronome, but it's still pretty fast and honestly usually I turn it on at most once when starting a jam until a basic beat is laid down, so I don't miss it too much.

[@Zabrozna]

@@hexwavemusic use the metronome / tempo button

[@hexwavemusic]

@@Zabrozna Yeah of course, the shortcut is gone though which is what they were talking about. But I personally don't miss it because it's fast enough to turn it on in the tempo menu.
