So I program a beat into my Takt. I set up midi sync to receive. I set up Cubase to Send to Digitakt. I press STOP on the TAKT so it isnt mid pattern. I hit PLAY on the DAW and the pattern STARTS on the TAKT. But nearly all the time it fails to play the first step of the first pattern play, but will play all steps as expected after the first round.
Any ideas?
Did you hand record these patterns by any chance? Or were they just step sequenced through and through? When I record unquantized I usually have to microtime the first hits forward a little for them to play appropriately.
This is a known bug. Hopefully they are working on a fix.
I have in the past live recorded, and yes, had to micro time in adjust.
Unfortunately this time I step sequenced so dead on 0 point.
Known bug? Wow. Kinda far more serious than Overbridge taking so long (and it is doing very well by the way, the beta program is magnificent).
I wonder, if i roll back to a NON beta firmware would that fix the issue?
Well known, and discussed quite a bit on the forums. It also happens when slaved to another piece of hardware not just slaved to a daw. The bug as existed for a while, really it’s just waiting for the fix. There are a number of bugs on the machine that need to be squashed.
Everything has taken a backseat to overbridge.
Setting Cubase to receive midi clock instead might fix this issue temporarily.
Geez. Thanks guys. What a strange bug to allow to persist. Kind of fundamental.
Yeah it’s annoying
Hassle. So what I do is always have a blank pattern of 1 bar for when it is time to record. I also start the recording 1 bar extra in the DAW. I hit record and then switch the pattern and that solves it for now.
Just echoing that this has been around and discussed for a long time, and is a serious bummer 
Anyone try enabling a “count in” on the DAW?
Yes. Makes no difference as the send signal occurs at same time.
One empty bar pattern first is the best idea. As bassesandpads said.
Btw thanks for the logical workaround
Oh well… It worked for AR MKI in logic where syncing with Overbridge wouldn’t play the first trig…
known issue…
werkaround: for tracks with trigs on the first trig, nudge it one tick. it’ll play.
lame werkaround, but…it werks.
I tried count in, I tried midi delay…nothing werked. seems like the eleks have a little issue catching up on start. the nudge werks all the time for me. THO…I haven’t seen or had to employ that tech for some time.
perhaps that has been addressed in the BETAs…I dunno.
You have a beta of overbridge or digitakt firmware you mean?
