Why not just program the arpeggios you want, or play them in live record mode and quantize if you want that arpeggiator feel? You have a full blown sequencerā¦ any arpeggio you can imagine is at your fingertips.
Can you transpose a sequence on the Digitakt the way you can with an Arp?
Good point, I just use the arpeggiators on my synths for that kind of arping if Iām wanting to transpose. Otherwise I just sequence whatever notes. I get so used to the nanoloop sequencer being able to transpose whole sequences that itās really missed on the DT. If they add the ability to transpose a whole track, then Iād say an arpeggiator isnāt really necessary. It would be cool if they added it though.
Programming: because it takes ages and is virtually impossible to capture what you WOULD play whilst messing around with an arpeggiator.
Last time I checked the DT has a one octave Keyboard, hardly condusive to playing arpeggios. And most of us arenāt Chopin either.
Iāve come around actually, I want an arpeggiator in the DT! Iāve got a keyboard hooked up to the DT so programming is much nicer but yeah youāre right that arp would rule.
Simple EQ
After using the DT for a bit now, Iād love it if they added:
BandPass Filter, Notch Filter, 4 Band EQ, Automatic/Lockable Re-Trigger Mode
(auto re-trigs when you hold button, for live performance - *M:S has this so I know Elektron can do it)
just my thoughts.
Iād like different attack curves on the Amp page.
It would be really nice if on the parameters that only have a few values (i.e., filter type) if the corresponding knob range was set to a wider sweep, just so itās not so finicky going btwn them.
(i.e., if there are 3 settings, then they would be at the far left - middle - far right positions.)
Or alternately, if you could have an option to choose either the acceleration sensitivity/type (algorithmic, exponential, etc.) to refine the knob behavior in the settings.
Just ideas, not complaints.
Excellent idea! Sometimes it is so hard to get to low pass in that moment when you arenāt chill enough to finesse the knob.
I didnāt find this feature requested in previous posts, maybe someone named it differently.
I would love to see it in DT MS and OT: browsing the patterns through names.
If i forget to note the number of pattern in the daw, i lose so much time to find it.
Or someone has a recipe for that?
Probably creating a project per song would be some kind of solution, but it wouldnāt work for me.
forth option to play sample in loop mode that forward and reverse, for/rev/for/revā¦
And maybe a single for/rev.
Can you not plock the loop mode, maybe with a trig condition or two to say when to switch back and forth? Dunno if itāll work, just thinking out loud
Wonāt apply for very short sample
Building off of this why not exponential or linear (or even log?) on attack, decay and release?
Bandpass (and Notch) filter would be nice, does seem odd they couldnāt do this with current CPU.
The retrig is kind of buried but what button to use for it (AR for example has a dedicated button)?
My biggest wish is still better sample managementā¦ delete all unused, at least!
Ah yes, good point
I think the biggest oversight for both DT and DN is not being able to save pattern chains within a project. Whatās the point of having them if they are lost the moment you power down?
Every live performance needs a kind of cheat sheet in order to remember chained patterns before starting it off. So frustrating. Iād go so far as to say itās a bug not a feature request. Grr
