What do you mean by sequencer drift?

Log-c · January 18, 2020, 5:11pm

Sorry it’s same way

Drif, direction capablity, whatever,this is it!

Roboflux · January 18, 2020, 8:08pm

Please, can we have song mode or pattern chain save or something?

Have an octatrack for years now just got the digitakt
I’m shocked that you cant edit a sample or even simply zoom in a sample to find the right starting point - plock start point is a great feature and I don’t want to have to Resample all my loops.
Cmon Elektron!

Also why can’t I navigate folders with left and right arrow??? (Octatrack menu file) Instead to have to go all the way up to get out of a folder don’t understand the logic behind this.

Peace

You can use Func+Up to go directly to the top of the folder. The left and right arrows in folder browse mode are already dedicated to functions and it works quite well, but yeah going all the way up in a folder would be a slog if not for that quick shortcut. Give that a try, it’s really fast!

I totally agree that it needs a way to preview the audio when p-locking a sample start point, makes it tedious when you have to wait for the loop to run all the way round in order to see if you got it right.

I didn’t know that about FUNC + Up. Does FUNC + Down get you to the last saved item too? I’m thinking about the Project menu/folder specifically here

Hawk · January 18, 2020, 9:35pm

Good question, I’m not sure, I’m headed to the manual now! Yeah Func+Up is extremely crucial!!! I misspoke slightly, it doesn’t take you directly to the top but it goes in huge jumps so when you hold that combo it gets you to the top extremely quickly.

edit: Manual has been consulted, looks like Func+Down does the same thing as up, moves the cursor in big jumps of exactly one page. Also, I was reminded that the Level/Data knobs rips through menu lists very quickly.

I learn something every day with these boxes. That’s awesome. Thanks!

Hawk · January 18, 2020, 9:49pm

Seriously man, they are so jam-packed it’s insane. I get into a workflow of doing things one way and forget that there are 2 or 3 other ways to go about it too!

jefones · January 18, 2020, 10:10pm

Func + left or right will go Back and forth through folder directories.

Hawk · January 18, 2020, 10:12pm

Mind blown! Can’t believe I missed that, so useful. Thanks dude.

Lauli · January 18, 2020, 11:06pm

What the hell, I never knew of that.

slcrz · January 18, 2020, 11:18pm

Thanks makes thing easier for sure

You can navigate folders with func+left and func+right.
Edit: someone already said the exact same thing. Carry on! =D

Bandpass would be cool.

Notch/peak filter would also be great. I guess because there’s only one parameter, you’d have to combine the depth and Q?

DJSpaceP · January 28, 2020, 6:55pm

One workaround (I haven’t tried it yet, so caveat emptor) is using MIDI loopback (with a cable, RK-002 recommended), where you can mute/unmute MIDI tracks that send CC messages to your audio tracks that are properly timed based on trig location in the sequencer. So a mute or unmute CC message would be on the last step of the MIDI track, micro-timed to just before the end of that step (and pattern) so that the first note/bar of the next playback of the pattern is where you hear (or not hear) the first step of the audio track receiving the CC message.

You could also probably mute/unmute multiple audio tracks from a single MIDI track using this method.

I’m certain there are fiddly details to work out, and this is assuming you aren’t already using all your MIDI tracks for other things, but it could be worth exploring.

But ideally, we could get either internal MIDI loopback, mute/unmute timing settings, or both in an upcoming update.

ghostwerk · January 28, 2020, 10:24pm

internal loopback would be really sweet!

Milanwitsj · January 29, 2020, 6:41pm

Being able to send one(or multiple) tracks trough the headphone output. Say you got some ambient kinda sounds on track 6 that you want to process through a reverb pedal, you could send track 6 through the headphone output instead of the main outs and process it externally. Kind of like an aux send through the headphone output!

And of course a native, internal midi loopback function would be reaally neat! All those wasted LFOs make me sad lol.

Somebody knows If will be there a new update for Digitakt? Lot of time since the last update and no still no filter bpf…
