Hi,
I’m new to the Digitakt and I’m struggling to get my drums sounding / placed how I’d like them.
I’d really like to be able to place my drums in the sequence and use the micro-timing, quantize etc to achieve the swing I’m after.
Here’s a video showing what I’m trying to achieve (but using a daw)

Can anyone help with any tips.
Many thanks in advance 
Sounds like basic functionality of the DT. Did you watch a few of the thousands of tutorials out there? I liked the one of Cuckoo.
You could try and play the drums in live, unquantised and then shift them around using the micro-timing. Or else just place some of the hits on certain steps on the grid and play the snares or hats live.
Another good article about the subject :
Also I once listed all the possible swings using micro-timing. Here it is :
| Microtiming | Swing |
|---|---|
| 0 | 50% |
| +1/384 | 52,08333333% |
| +1/192 | 54,16666667% |
| +1/128 | 56,25% |
| +1/96 | 58,33333333% |
| +5/384 | 60,41666667% |
| +1/64 | 62,5% |
| +7/384 | 64,58333333% |
| +1/48 | 66,66666667% |
| +3/128 | 68,75% |
| +5/192 | 70,83333333% |
| +11/384 | 72,91666667% |
| +1/32 | 75% |
| +13/384 | 77,08333333% |

| +11/192 | 95,83333333% |

Septuplet groove microtiming offsets:
Step 1: (0)
Step 2: (+17/384)
Step 3: (+7/384)
Step 4: (+5/192)
Repeat those 4 values for steps 5, 6, 7 & 8 etc.
Example:
tip: it’s a lot easier to use just 1 track and p-lock the samples per step than it is to try this across multiple tracks.
Thank you all
That’s exactly the sort of help I was hoping for.
I can’t wait to try this out.
Have a great music making weekend:sparkles:
