I am having some really strange behavior with the Digitakt.
I want to multi-track record performances / performance mixing the Digitakt into Ableton. So I have Overbridge running in Ableton with individual channels in Ableton receiving each individual Digitakt channel.
The LauchControl XL is mapped to the Digitakt, and I am using the Launchpad Mini MK3 to trigger dummy / automation clips per Digitakt Channel.
The really weird thing is – I’ve got knobs on the XL mapped to Digitakt effects, and yet while I turn them up and visually it’s showing full delay on for a channel, the delay isn’t heard. Nothing has changed on the delay settings page - feedback, width, everything is still where it originally was.
It is almost as if a global bypass on effects has been activated… but I can’t seem to find any setting for this in Overbridge or the unit.
I’ve tried all types of troubleshooting like removing the Launchpad, restarting everything, etc. At times I lose all sound altogether, even though track, sample, and amp levels are up and nothing is muted. Is it me or is the Digitakt just weird / unstable?
Anybody experience anything similar and is there a fix for the general instability, or a fix for the missing effects specifically?
Let me add that it is receiving volume and overdrive over midi. When I move the fader (vol) and turn the knob (overdrive) on the controller, the mapped parameters move on the screen. With the effects, the same thing happens - delay visual onscreen moves as if the delay is activated. Also when I activate / raise the delay send using the Digitakt itself, the same thing happens – no delay.
Yes - I found the setting, it is set to receive CC’s. I was confused for a moment with the Midi pages and changing the knobs mapping etc., but that is for something different I haven’t tried yet (controlling external gear with Digitakt).
Which helped me figure out a workaround. Basically, in Settings > Audio Routing I turned off tracks “Red” to allow for effects to be out L+R only. Now I’m recording the effects separately in Ableton. This should solve the problem for me…
