I’ve been trying to chain the same pattern twice at the beginning of a "song"and I can’t seem to get it to work. It seems like I have to hold down one pattern, then hit the next pattern trig, and so on and so forth, holding things down. If I try to quickly double tap for pattern A01 to play twice, it doesn’t work. Am I missing something?
No, it’s a quirk of pattern chaining. If you always want it to play twice, you can set the CH.LEN to double the pattern length. That’s how I did it in my Doom E1M1 video.
Somebody on here found a button combo workaround for Digitakt that should also work for the Tone.
Link?
Ah yes, the famous “Elektron Quirk” strikes again

Whoa. That’s pretty badass. Thanks!
Did anyone manage to get this to work on the Digitone?
The bit about holding down PTN is very Digitakt-specific, and I’ve not managed to get the first pattern twice yet.
(I’ve not updated from 1.02 yet, in case that matters)
I did get it to work. It takes some finageling, but it is doable.
Hmm, I did a lot of finger exercises, but didn’t manage it
If someone has time, please list the steps.
I’ve gotten it to work.
Here’s a Quick Tip I just filmed showing the process. Full Directions in the description.
Thanks very much for that, I got it now
I realise where I went wrong, messing around with the BANK key too, as instructed in the manual.
Chaining one bar 16 step patterns seems to work better than four bar 64 step patterns. At one point I had two one bar patterns chained with the first bar of a four bar pattern.
I hope a firmware update can improve the chaining functionality.
why does it add A9 to me in the chain?
edit: I have to press PTN again
Correct. You have a pattern trig held to kinda trick the pattern menu when you bring it up a second time.
