The Digitakt Feature Request Thread

Official Elektron Branded Battery Pack for the Digitakt.

I do actually have a simple wish for the Digitakt and I donā€™t think it would big hassle to implement :
The ability to retain the sound filter type per track in the project through out patterns.

Hereā€™s why itā€™s useful, I am sure most people dedicate tracks for specific things for instance track 1 for kicks, track 2 for hihats etc. (or whatever it might be)
if I am setting up pattern 1, track 1 sound filter to something (say kicks for instance) I want to be able to find that filter already setup for me in pattern 2, track 1 when I transition that would save a tremendous amount of time and makes performing live much better IMO.

If you use your DT like a drum machine for instance you would love this, if you donā€™t dedicate your tracks for specific duties you can always change this nothings is set in stone.

@Ess is this feasible at all ? any thoughts ?

I would like the ability to latch the track button when using TRK+All (CTRL ALL) function.

I have a similar workflow. I created a template that I open (along with a backup in case I accidentally save over it) to use as an init project.

Ability to quickly loop 16 bars of a 64 beat pattern even if itā€™s not at the start of a pattern.

id wish i can connect external hdd to usb port on digitakt and just swim in samples <3

Connect a SP-404 (or any sampler) and your all set.

how much samples can sp404 hold up please :slight_smile: ?

Storage space depends on the SD card size if SX or A, CF for OG 404. Each pad can hold a sample for a total of 120. 404 is awesome but paired with a DN to sequence it itā€™s another story. Shameful plug below is a quick tune with DN and the 404SX playing guitar samples.

It would be cool to see Pattern Chain sequence on the creen when you press PTN button if chain mode is active. :+1:

  1. Polyphony on a single track, built-in in the machine (like MPC Live). I am aware you can use Retrokit cables or M4L, but this not always convenient.

  2. Proper SOLO function - no octopus style muting for achieving this.

  3. Perhaps a different colour combination for the mute/active state of tracks, when the sequence is running? Sometimes it is a bit confusingā€¦

  • more filter modes (at least a bandpass to cope with the already available HP and LP)
  • true stereo imaging for the inputs
  • portamento/glide and polyphony would be great if CPU does allow it.

Multi Map for digitakt :yum:

I donā€™t know if itā€™s what youā€™re talking about, but the knob response when micro timing always felt too fast to me - wish the encoders werenā€™t so sensible when adjusting that parameter

I have to say, Iā€™m a bit dissapointed there was no Digitakt OS update on Superboothā€¦ :frowning:

The end of the month would be a more likely although not necessarily likely date for an update, being the 2 year mark.
Why dont you use the arrow keys for microtiming?, I didnt find it was practical to even try using the endoders.

I would be pretty satisfied if dt got multi map and portamento. Simple things that open up the box a ton

Other than that just continue with OB. As far as im concerned anything else is just icing. My DT has been solid for me
