Hi, I understand there are several ways to get the Digitakt to be polyphonic. I found a thread on this forum that said how it could be done within Cubase. It said:
“So this is how to make Digitakt Polyphonic inside of Cubase with the midi input transformer
1.Create audio track
2.Create midi track and set Digitakt as an output
3.In the midi inserts open the transformer and apply these settings”
Unfortunately the image for the settings seems to have been archived and is unavailable - does anyone know how to do this?
I don’t have a Digitakt these days, but might it not be possible to load the same sound/patch on multiple tracks/channels and use Cubase’s Transformer to assign incoming notes to those channels in a round-robin sort of way? If so, you’d use up tracks, but could get something like polyphony. This is kinda how the old Oberheim polysynths worked (sans MIDI, of course). I haven’t looked at the Transformer for a while, so I am not sure if it’s possible, but maybe?
As an aside, if this does work, it would mean that you could also slightly tweak each Digitakt voice so that they were ever-so-slightly different from one another for thicker, more interesting chords. Again, this was part of what made those old Oberheims sound so big.
