After recording a sampling… I press Fun+Yes to preview what i just sampled… it won’t play the sample. I can see the waveform but it won’t play it?? This use to work properly…
Is this a known bug in 1.08 or am i missing something simple here?
Mine did this yesterday, but it started working again after I had assigned the sample and played around a bit. Assumed I’d made some kind of user error but it could well be a bug!
Its likely that you have a midi channel selected, samples need an audio channel to be heard.

I selected track 1 (kick) and now I can here it…
Thanks for the quick reply…

@Elektron I think you could improve the UX here. (I hope this is an OK place to post this feedback?)
Recently I’ve been using a Digitakt midi track to control a modular synth, and then capturing its output back into the Digitakt sampler. So, I’m normally on the midi track when I enter the sampler.
It was at first quite confusing that I could hear the sound when monitoring, but not hear it when I hit Func+Yes to preview. It seems like if the hardware is capable of monitoring when a midi track is active then it should also be capable of previewing?
I can understand how of course I can’t actually save the sample to the midi track, but in this workflow I don’t want to do that, I only want to capture and then preview to make sure it’s OK.
Ideally, Fn+Yes would still preview the sample when a midi track is active.
If for some reason that can’t be done then it would at least be nice to show a warning on the screen that you need to select an audio track rather than silently doing nothing.
I was about to return my DT 
After reporting it to support, I got this reply:
“This is a known bug, and we are working on a fix for a future update. Currently, the active track is used for the preview, and if a MIDI track is the active track - the sample can naturally not be played back.”
Keep fingers crossed!
