Septuplets

[lichtmensch]

Hello,

I wonder if it’s possible to get septuplets out of the Digitakt.

I get quintuplets pretty easily and fun by retriggering with rate 1/20 but there’s no rate for septuplets (must be 1/28 if my math is correct).

Cheers,
Andy

Hi! Welcome to the club!

You could get crafty by looping a sample and adjusting the endpoint to get something you like.

There might be better ways that someone else might point you towards, but this is what comes to mind.

I don’t know whether you searched the forum for your topic before posting.

Previously on Elektronauts:

Quintuplet Swing Values For Your Elektron : )

So I was sitting with Attack Magazine’s tutorial about quint- sext- and septuplet swing. Made me think about what the values for such a groove would be in the Elektron sequencer. Since the idea of quintuplets is to cram five notes in to a space where “normally” there would be four 16th notes - we can’t do that on an Elektron sequencer without raising the speed. Which can sometimes be inconvenient or unwanted. So what I did was that I recorded the different timings on three different midi tracks…

Hi lichtmensch, unfortunately not possible at the moment. The thread Peter linked to is about microtiming for different swing, but for 7 retrigs/repeats per step length, you’ll have to put in a feature request.

@PeterHanes

Nice one!

Not exactly what I was looking for, but a nice way for getting Dilla / ‘in-between’ feels - definitely inspired me.

What I actually intended to do (and still would like to be able to), was getting seven even strokes inside one quarter note.

Retrigger would be a killer option if you could set the rate that way.

@garf

I’ll do.

Thanks guys!
