slicing. this makes so much sense given that most users are doing this manually per trigger. maybe holding down the buttons that get you into chromatic mode can be used to put you into a separate slice page.
Loop page. Given the fact that i end up making sample start time changes per trigger, i would love to be able to loop a page (1-4) instead of listening the the whole 4 bar loop from start every time to just hear a specific trigger im editing.
Time stretch. allow the ability to stretch samples. This also makes a lot of sense to me given that the digitakt is a very deep sampler. I see a lot of users using the digitakt for deep sonic exploration as so time stretching fits perfectly in that tool set.
Being able to choose which Page loops (per track) instead of either the first, or first and second etcā¦ would grand!
This way, I could have 4 different 16 steps sequence for one track, and choose which one is looping, or let the whole thing loop. That would open a lot of ways to improvise structure. Right now, we need to create a new Pattern for that.
I could imagine (just for inspiration) that pressing and holding the Track button, then a short press on the Page button cycles through pages to choose which one loops. A long press would go back to looping the whole pattern. Or something of the kind
I like the idea of using the chromatic keyboard creatively with plocks!
Trig preview with TRIG + Yes would also be great indeed, to hear whatās on that step (took me a while to understand what you meant, this would work in step record mode only right?)
Haha, thanks @naught101! Iāve been playing around with it for a while, and they implemented it perfectly . I like holding 4 trigs at a time and p-locking stuff, then releasing 1 trig and p-locking further, repeat until all 4 trigs have a smoothly ascending or descending p-lock. When holding all 4 trigs and pressing YES, it will preview the left-most trig, which is exactly what I hoped for .
I played with Trig preview yesterday. Itās so nice to make a drum loop from a drum break. I love it. Itās fast and sometime, when you srambled so much the break, you donāt remember which is wich. Now, itās easy to remember.
This update really add character to the DT. Itās now a solid alternative to MPC. It have his own way of putting thing together, and thatās why I love the DT and I will always prefer work with it than the DAW or MPC.
The new step record mode also help a lot to make good bassline
This is exactly how I feel about the update too, @blaize! Iām looking forward to incorporating the step record mode into my workflow. It seems very nice for basslines, but also arps!
There really needs to be random pattern generation for each trig, I am new to the Digitakt and Digitone but know you can randomise parameters in say the Digitone to come up with random sounds, well you need to add randomness to rhythm and melody generation.
Example, Digitakt, 16 step pattern, set number of trigs to populate the pattern with an encoder, so set 1 to 16 kick drum hits in a 16 step pattern, then randomise the placement of the hits in the pattern until you get something you like, rinse and repeat for other sounds and you come up with rhythms you would never hear dialing in trigs manually, I can do this in Ableton and itās fantastic for blocks in creativity.
This would open up the digitakt to limitless groove creation, Iām very surprised itās not already a feature, and it could work just as well in the Digitone.
Just have to throw this one out there yet one more time. If thereās any dsp left to squeeze in that second filter, the DT would be beyond perfection.
Same here, Iād prefer a second filter than more types.
Not to be a smartass but actually an additional filter might not be possible if the cpu is already running at full capacity, while other type might fit as it would still us only one filter at a time.
