Digitakt usb into Akai Force = unsupported device / Solved!

Elektron Gear Digitakt
#1

I’m trying to connect my Digitakt(1.3) to the Akai Force(3.06) by usb and I’m getting an unsupported device error on the Akai Force… Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

  • The Digitakt works perfectly with my PC and OB/Transfer
  • I can get ir working using regular midi, so I can always do that.

I didn’t try connecting the DT to the Force before update 1.3, but I did find other people online that did get the DT working with the Force as recently as six months ago… so it is/was possible.

I’m just trying to figure-out if the update is causing this, or if it’s something else.

Thanks

Is the Force a USB Host? Do you have Overbridge mode disabled on the DT? USB MIDI enabled?

Midi over usb seems to work fine on my end but you need to have the Digitakt or Digitone in usb config in usb audio/midi or usb midi mode.

Problem solved

@d4ydream … Thanks, you are the best… it’s been so long long since I’ve changed any settings that I completely forgot about disabling Overbridge mode in the DT

Have a great day

Does it do Audio over USB as well?

I’m not near my Akai Force to check… but, from what I remember it can’t stream audio to disk over usb yet.
