Newbie General Questions, Never Used Any Kit Like This Before

Hello I’m new to Digitone and Elektron in general.

Just learning this machine, and can’t seem to find an answer to this question.

If I have a trig in my sequence that plays the note F and I want it to play G# every 4th loop, is there any way to do this? I’ve looked into Trig conditions but that just seems to be either on or off or effects for the trig and not changing a the pitch.

Any info appreciated, thanks.

You can use microtiming along with NEI trigs to achieve this. Microtiming allows you to essentially put a trig on top of another trig. The drawback is, you won’t be able to put a trig on that step to play normally.

uyou could use the next trig with microtiming :joy:

I already proposed this to elektron: I’d be very happy if any trig could trigger any other trig you want (so not only one step but up to 16 … or 32, 48…?)

You could midi loop back and send the proper note to it with the condition you want.

Hahahaaha true!!

what’s an NEI Trig?

Neighbor Trig Condition.
But I think he meant /Pre

Also I’m watching the first track from this performance, I understand some of it but on the first song he has a bass line with 96 trigs till it loops around again, how is that possible since my limit seems to be 64 before the loop restarts?

And on the second track he has a bass line that loops at 192! I must be not understanding some basic functions.

Do I have to copy and paste patterns and chain them up, or is there a more intuitive way to do this?

I have a manual in front of me that I’m going through but it’s hard to understand some of it, I’ve never used any kit like this before so even simple things seem very complicated!

In the description the guy actually has the songs for download with .syx files, so I have them on my digitone now which is amazing help!

I’m kind of shocked at what he did, it’s all done with the A:B trig conditions and micro timing I’m blown away!
