Hello!
I am trying to make sense of the MIDI channel settings on my Digitakt.
Quote from the manual regarding the A-H track options in SETTINGS > MIDI CONFIG > CHANNELS:
TRACK A–H selects the dedicated MIDI channel that is used to receive or send (by turning the knobs)
parameter data to or from a specific MIDI track. If configured as OFF, parameter data are neither
received nor sent via MIDI.
However, it seems that regardless of which channels I set up here, the MIDI tracks are going to be disabled until I select a MIDI channel on the SRC page.
It looks like the CHANNELS settings are redundant.
Does anyone know what the SETTINGS > MIDI CONFIG > CHANNELS settings are actually used for when it comes to the A-H tracks?
An additional weird thing that I found
If I have AUTO CHANNEL set to something else than OFF then I get two CC messages for the 8 parameters under the FLTR page, on different MIDI channels: one on the AUTO CHANNEL and another on the CHAN configured in SRC.
This only happens when I tweak the knobs manually. If I set a parameter lock then I only get one CC message which was configured on the AMP page.
One of the CC messages is what I configured on the AMP page and the other seems to be what is listed under section A.8 VAL PARAMETERS in the manual.
If I turn off the AUTO CHANNEL then the extra CC message is gone.
It feels to me that there is a gap in the documentation.
