Ableton + Digitakt

[arjanpetersen]

Hi all,

Pretty new to this whole digitakt thing. So forgive me if I ask something really obvious. I have ableton hooked up to my digitakt. I have know there can be latency etc. But before are start messing around with that. I noticed that when I hit playback in LIVE, then the digitakt will start playing ~1/4 note later. Is this a latency thing. Or another setting that needs to be changed?

BTW: I have my digitakt hooked up via usb midi/audio… since big sur&OB are not really working.

then the digitakt will start playing ~1/4 note later.

Is there are constant delay of everything (like it really starts playing 1/4 note later) or does “just” the first note not sound?

There are quite a few threads about the later problem (first note not playing) like this one:

Digitakt misses first step of pattern with Ableton

Hello fellow Elektronauts I have a Digitakt connected to Ableton. When I start DAW play, many times, Digitakt seems to be missing the first step of the pattern. When the pattern reaches the end and starts the loop again, the first step is being played. At first I thought it was a synchronisation issue, but when I created a simple synth plugin loop of 4/4 on Ableton and a simple pattern with base on 1/5/9/13, it became clear that the first step is not playing and that it immediately continues…

Aha… I guess that is the issue. After some messing around, I noticed it misses the first TRIG (or beat) sometimes. Not always though. Thanks for reply. I guess I will try to nudge the first step a bit.
