No one?

Anyway, I should receive mine on Saturday, I’ll see :blush:

Can’t wait, I love what I hear in YouTube demos!

I didn’t quite understand what you meant, but if you use 1 MIDI track on Digitakt, and make a note that is long and another one starts e.g. on the next step, it will work.

Here’s a nice recent video:

Thanks, that’s what I was asking. Earlier in the thread it wasn’t clear to me whether this works ( because technically the notes don’t overlap) and some people suggested using a second midi track for the overlapping notes.

I just tried this for you on my Digitone, which should be the same. It definitely works as described, with 1 MIDI channel.

Add trig 1, Length 1/16, trig 2 on a different note. You hear 2 separate notes.
Increase Length of trig 1 slightly, you get a slide.

Thanks a lot for confirming! That’s great.

Sounds like it would be interesting to increase length for the whole track as a performance stunt and get all slides, and back :slight_smile: (beyond just making a 303-style pattern)

From the demos I’ve heard, this tiny synth is very capable in the department of 303-like sound! Can’t wait.

I was thinking that a second MIDI track (muted) overlaying a bunch of less-than-1/16 trigs, would also cause mayhem.

Yeah I was thinking about that as well. Sequencing monophonic synths with occasional additional MIDI tracks is fun for happy accidents and crazy outcomes!

That little box sounds amazing! And indeed, it’s already a good friend of the Digitakt. Lots of fun and great to get that bassline feel on a sequencer I know and love!

Just had a quick run, the kids love it as well :smiley:

Yes me too! That’ll come, I’m re-wiring my jam table, as my mixer came back from repair. I’m receiving a multi-machines power supply on Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ll wait for that. But it’ll come!

#32

To save you some head-scratching: the MB-33 is AC not DC like most.

Thanks! Yes I’ve figured that out. The power supply is for my 3 eventides, moogerfooger, Rat, Doctor A and probably Multiclock.
