Digitakt Factory Preset with Arpeggiator... How-To?

Elektron Gear Digitakt
#1

I realize that the 6 track of the first pattern in the Factory Preset has two Arpeggiator steps, however I don’t know how to recreate it or even tweak it! Any ideas?

#2

DT doesnt have arpeggiator. Dont have the presets anymore but maybe its just a recorded sample or sequenced per step.

How to adjust the Arpeggiator on the Digitakt? https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/amelnv/how_to_adjust_the_arpeggiator_on_the_digitakt/?st=JRO0YM0R&sh=737869e8

People, please don’t reply to this dude. Here’s his reddit post…

Haha :joy:

Track 6 of pattern ‘subaquatic’ is a one-shot melodic sample in a 12 step sequence. Not an arp.

Ok, any tutorial on that? Because it’s very useful and I can’t find it anywhere else!

:joy:

This is really basic functionality of the sequencer tbh, sounds like you could do with another look at the manual

Select track 6 and press rec to see the programmed sequence

You turn on adjacent trigs (they’ll look red) and then p-lock the notes so they play a melody (holding a trig and twisting a knob locks a parameter to that step)

Keep searching my friend. The truth to the Digitakt arp is to be found under the yellow rose in the blue bog.

I think I would have preferred an Arp instead of rtrig… and 2 buttons no less for the rtrig?

#11

Just two steps are in red, 3 and 14, the arp like ones, I disabled all other ones just to focus on the arp like ones, and the sample is not an arp sample… To prove it I try different samples with the same result, arpeggio like repetition, even for the kick one (n.º 37)!

I uploaded a short video with the kick sample so you don’t have to load the Factory Presets and make this arp like behavior absolutely evident to anyone:

#12

That’s a retrig.

#13

just about to say the same… re trig

#14

Or the sample is looping?

#15

Ok, thanks, I will check on that because isn’t obvious how to do it just working with the device.

#16

Yes, this has nothing to do with an arp, but it’s just retriggering sample playback multiple times.

Hold trig (one or more) + press UP and DOWN simultaneously to display the retrig settings.

That’s it, thank you very much… :smile:

Mods, please rename this thread to “For sure is an arp!”

@ruiseixas Sorry if my original post sounded harsh but the reddit thread was just too funny. Welcome to Elektronauts!

You don’t need to press UP & DOWN simultaneously. Holding a trig and pressing UP will open retrig settings.
