Hey,
I just formatted my +Drive for a fresh start with the Digitakt.
Now, this is what happens to a lot of my samples after uploading them with the Transfer app:
Does anybody have an idea what is going wrong? Thanks a lot!
Digitakt OS Version: 1.21
Transfer Version: 1.2.2.9
That sample looks completely clipped in the transfer app, does it also sound clipped when you play it on the Digitakt?
Exactly, unfortunately it sounds like it looks…
I have seen this before, usually happens when I send a bunch of samples and only some are affected, just remove them then resend.
Maybe a new bug ?
Or
I’d try renaming the folder to remove the space and colon. Maybe that folder / naming convention is doing some weirdness ?
Did u turn it off for a little while / turn it back on ? Maybe the same file existed pre-wiping and it’s getting a little confused.
That’s unfortunate 
This seems to be data corruption, I would advise to check the USB connection and try another cable.
Oh, I’m trying to upload a whole library of 890 MB at once and about 50% of the samples are affected. That would be a lot of work… 
Also, make sure you set the Digitakt to USB MIDI only and check if no other applications are sending any midi.
Is just upload in 100 meg chunks , not 800 + Meg.
If you transfer library’s that large, try doing it in smaller chunks.
That way, you only have to resend the last chunk if something goes wrong.
Yeah send in smaller chunks, see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Tried out everything – small chunks, another cable directly plugged into my Mac (without Hub), even tried Elk-Herd instead of Transfer – but no success so far. Still, 10-20 % of the files are corrupted after the upload.
I’ll continue tomorrow. It’s no option to check all the samples manually so I’ll continue looking for a stable upload option. I’d be happy about any further ideas. Thanks!
I had this same issue, it’s a known bug in the latest version of the OS and Transfer app with macOS Big Sur/ M1. If you reach out to Elektron, they should be able to hook you up with beta versions of the above that fixed the issue for me.
Anyone know if this is still an issue in the latest firmware? I just had this happen to me when transferring using an Intel Mac on Big Sur. Are there other possible causes? Ie could I just be doing something wrong?
My samples look the same — with random parts of them filled with static. Most of my longer samples (anything more than a couple seconds) have at least a small issue.
See the post above yours. Seems they’re aware it’s a bug. Contact Elektron support.
I’ve had this happen also. The solution I found was to batch convert the files and reduce them by 2db. After that no issues.
Try the newest software. I remember having this problem, but last time I copied loads of file to the DT (last week, latest OS and transfer) I had no issues.
For me it finally worked with a shorter USB cable and the DT sitting directly next to the Mac.
