Answering Digitakt II Questions! // Live Dispatch

[@relative_vie]

1️⃣ Allow Transfer App to make kits. 2️⃣ Allow Transfer App to tag sounds so you can easily find a vibe and organize it into the sound pool. 3️⃣ Allow Transfer App to reorganize samples, such as dragging a sample from one folder to another.

[@Kev-1k]

This would be amazing! Better organizational tools please and thank you elektron

[@relative_vie]

4️⃣ Allow users to determine the key of their sample within Digikact and showcase the key if the sample is to be adjusted so that the user can easily operate in key. And this might be a stretch, but allow users to create a master root key for all samples to provide a seamless workflow. Basically sync feature to “master sample” that you want to operate from

[@relative_vie]

5️⃣ Swing: Allow tracks to have their own swing. Swing shouldn’t be applied only to the master 🥲 (if there is a way do let me know).

[@touchthatdial]

Got to have adjustable slice points, it's a must have for chops. Hoping this comes soon. Also automatic zero crossing snap points when nudging sample start times, can't always rely on the Amp envelope attack to deal with clicks if the transient needs to be exactly on the beat. And please add the ability to zoom into samples that are already in the sample pool (i.e. not only samples that have just been recorded), in a longer sample finding the right start and end point by ear alone isn't enough, we need to be able to zoom into the waveform.

[@marc1alexandre]

Zooming in sample is definitely a good wish!

[@Alckemy]

2 things in looking forward to, Manual or transient slicing Overbridge. That’s all it needs

[@mhmmarcus]

Wrong! It also needs polyphony. Ideally within a self-contained single track, but some kind of multi-track link would be acceptable.

[@Garnassium]

@@Alckemy and parameter slides!!

[@ian_tulud]

And ability to record in mono which DT1 does

[@el_dani]

Zero crossing detection, poly machine, Midi arpeggiator - later: granular machine, more track fx, record machine

[@JM-yk6eh]

Super! I think we need polyphinic sequencing and the possibility of having different fx parameters per track (not only dry/wet)

[@alecsbuga]

21:33 Oh. Great idea slicing a sample in preset pool. Nice!

[@jacobthewinner]

Thanks to Elektron team for fixing a lot of things in 1.02. DTII is excellent.

[@inkajoo]

They made a little DAW and I'm in love

[@nikolafeve]

Here's my suggestions: Feature to link several tracks to play in polyphony Arpeggiator A function to generate random note+trig (in scale) There's a possibility to preview presets with the keyboard without loading it, but not with the samples from the +Drive, why? Add a row to activate the Fill per line in the song view

[@inkajoo]

It's coming... it'll be like digitone. I called it

[@bubuAudio]

thank you, guys !! much appreciated your tips !!

[@tovermoran4360]

That ghost-compressor technique totally works on the Digitakt too, compressor SCS to kick track, yooo. Thanks Ricky!

[@micemincer]

making manual chops with presets also gives option to add effects, filter etc - everything that comes with the preset - unique for each chop

[@jaffasplaffa1]

Just got my Digitakt II today and bought a Analog Rytm and a Digitone a few weeks ago. And tomorrow my Syntakt will arrive too ;) Cant wait to play with all of them :) Great video btw ;)

[@drubadix]

super nice session, thank you guys! what i‘m missing most is the global function for mixer, compressor and fx. this comes so handy in longer live sets with external midi devices. as i understood you are working on it to bring it back? ;) i would appreciate that so much!

[@microfx]

I'd really also love to have an optional "send MIDI out" for sample tracks as well (like AR does)

[@user-hl9rw4ww9o]

Excellent Q&A on the Digitakt MKII, thanks! 🙏 It would be great if we could parameter lock / automate the tempo per step to create interesting grooves, swing and dynamic patterns. This is possible in software music trackers and also on the hardware Polyend Tracker. Considering the Elektron machines sequencing appears to be somewhat inspired by trackers it would be very cool to see this implemented into the Elektron ecosystem. Unless this is already possible and I have missed it somehow??

[@inkajoo]

Polyphony, proper slices, and arbitrary step length in the recorder!

[@cooksoni.a]

"there's no slice machine on here 😏 just the grid 😜" i knew they were working on a slice machine the moment i saw they changed slice machine to grid lol

[@Garnassium]

May the gods hear you

[@marc1alexandre]

But with the preset you definitely have your slice machine !

[@cooksoni.a]

@@marc1alexandre i dont really like doing that, when i p lock the “slices” to steps it negates stuff like lfo modulation, like i cant have an lfo modulating the filter that way unless i p lock the filter to each step

[@DiegoFuego87]

Instant buy for me the moment Overbridge drops, it’s a workflow killer for me without it. Hope we don’t have to wait too long!

[@microfx]

@@DiegoFuego87 why? 1000 ways to compensate for this

[@DiegoFuego87]

@@microfx Multitrack recording and performing arrangements into a DAW to finish tracks

[@microfx]

@@DiegoFuego87 I mean... as if that was "solution"... you'll have to readd all effects in the DAW... so in the end it'd always be faster to record track after track in stereo with the internal effects still applied... both workflows have their pros and cons imho

[@DiegoFuego87]

​@@microfx most definitely it depends on your goals. I love getting ideas down on the boxes and the programming creativity is unparalleled. But the FX are still single sends so i'll always end up wanting more options for space/texture ITB. Jams just remain ideas on the box without the ability to quickly print and progress for me. With 16 channels the blocker gets bigger. Some have no care for overbridge and thats cool, each to their own ;)

[@DiegoFuego87]

Its real shame it was rushed out without it IMO as is integral to my workflow. Perhaps its an intentional strategy to have something bigger to announce as a 'launch 2.0' keeping the product relevant towards the holidays, or perhaps its just really complex. The box has a ton of value standalone of course!

[@LamontStigler]

? I would love to have the Digitone Arpeggiator on both the Syntakt and the Digitakt 2. Is this possible??

[@SyNRG]

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like there isn't still mono sampling even though there was an update?

[@michele709]

I think it would be cool to be able to sidechain to metronome, for all that 4 on the floor music

[@MaterialMike]

On ipad can you have a channel for each sound when plugged in via the USB Llike you can on the polyend play?

[@Lo-fi_Hi-brow]

I would LOVE to see some sort of graphic display on the LFO page showing wtf is going on. I've been using Digi's for 5 years and it's still a partial mystery.

[@varlokvarlok]

Waiting for the Global FX/Mix!!!

[@ahnero]

Will the update include track Solo’ing like the Rytm? I would currently have to mute like 15 tracks to solo 1 if I have something on each(extreme example 😅)?

[@-crash]

Maybe could hack a solution using FILL.

[@itsjustaprankfam6921]

Is there a way to connect the elektron model cycles, the digitakt and the sp404 all at the same time?

[@hirudo3d]

Any Syntakt news would be appreciated.

[@Cull_Obsidian]

Amazing. I didn’t know you were doing this or I would have asked: I know there’s a way to slice breaks. But is there a way to sequence the slices? In the same way you can plock slices on the Octatrack? If so, that would be the ultimate sampler for me

[@WeAreElektron]

Yea you do it the same on Digitakt II. When the Grid machine is selected, on the SRC page. hold a trig you'd like to Parameter Lock, then turn the slice knob and select which slice you'd like to assign to that step. You can also press YES, while on the SRC page, and select linear locks or random locks similar to the Octatrack.

[@Cull_Obsidian]

@@WeAreElektron brilliant! Sounds intuitive. Thank you! Last question: can you pitch retrigs? Say have snare retrigs at different pitches, or portage to slide them? Thanks for getting back to me. Appreciated!

[@jackherz2584]

@@Cull_Obsidian Not without using an lfo as far as I know but you could hypothetically send an lfo to the tune of the sample and mess around with the rate until you're getting retrigs at different pitches. It just would be kinda hard to get the tune to be exactly where you want it for each retrig

If you want to Ignite the GAS of a DT1 owner, do a session on playing a DT2 chains to a DT1, either combined or djing between them 🥰

[@kabirsawyer6463]

Really wish there was a manual slice mode I feel like its the biggest downside of an otherwise amazing device.

[@el_dani]

No, it‘s the missing of zero crossing detection.

example: I have recorded a sequence of retriggers and now i want to live rec velocity changes for the retrigs i already did. How do i do that without overwriting the sequence of retrigs??

It would be so nice if the D2 LEDs were as bright as the original Digitakt. I find that the D2 is harder to use in daylight because the lights are dimmer, even at max intensity.

Is there anyway to get a digitakt keys like is it possible to get a digitakt and add it to a Digitone keys

You could always weld the Digitakt to the Digitone Keys

love my DT2. I really only have one request that comes to mind for my workflow. Please please allow the Song button to be remapped to be a track mute button. I'm so used to that position on the Syntakt my brain cant be remapped and i keep pressing song mode when i just want to go back to mute mode. I never use song mode so it has zero value for me being so prominent 😅

[@mpmi7588]

im from an mpc world. What the heck is a trig/trigger

[@leftmono1016]

It’s a single step. It either triggers a sound, parameter lock, or both. If it just triggers a parameter lock with no sample, it’s called a trigless trig!

[@gekkonier]

Betatesting for companies for free and giggles? No thank you. Not at this price point. Where is mono sampling? I know! I get this if I turn off a 1k Sampler and use my daw instead. Hope you all enjoy this fresh new paradigm.

I honestly tried to watch this but all I heard/seen was a bunch of the two of you talking over each other and super fast button, knob moving.
