    Digitakt manual is up. https://www.elektron.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Digitakt-User-Manual_ENG.pdf

    MIDI good:

    1. External CC/NRPN control over almost all internal sample params.
    2. 8 user definable CCs can be recorded per MIDI track (can set them to be different per track). This doesn't include PB, AT, etc...
    3. MIDI LFO per track to control any of the CCs, etc.
    4. Hardware MIDI Thru ffs
    5. Most of the audio track goodies like mico-timing, track length, clock multiplier, trig conditions, etc work for MIDI tracks.



    MIDI bad:

    1. Main thing for me: "4 notes per track" does not mean you can hit record and send a chord. Each track has a root note and then you can enter, manually, a chord shape for that track (via transpose values for notes 2, 3 and 4). If you change the root note, the chord changes.
    2. (possibly bad) I didn't see anything about recording MIDI input for MIDI or sample tracks. Might have just missed it but being able to play a sample track chromatically from an actual keyboard instead of the non-touch sensitive on-board pads seems important to me.

    F me I just can't resist this thing!!

    what's the best thing we've got in iOS to emulate??

    Seems closest to Elastic Drums.

    my thoughts as well, but still quite different , man If it was only battery operated I'd have already pulled the trigger, the only thing stopping me is the thought of the updated model they might come out with cause I don't think they expected this much interest.

    There's not going to be an updated model, at least not for several years. The Digitakt is essentially a stripped down version of various aspects of 2 of their other machines, the Rytm and the Octatrack.

  • HandOfEmptyHandOfEmpty

    And unfortunately it seems to signal that an Octatrack 2 (or whatever they call their next generation flagship sampler) is not on the immediate horizon.

    Curious as to what their next flagship will be...

  • HandOfEmptyHandOfEmpty

    My original plan was to get an MPC Live, but I've decided to hold off for a few months... In the meantime, this thing's looking more and more attractive. If it allowed stereo sampling and had parameter slides (i.e. glide+legato, filter values sweeping gradually between two designated steps) then I think it might just win me over... But it isn't so.

    just can't see how they don't release a batt op version

    Would it be that difficult to hook a battery up to it yourselves?

    So If I play a sample and record filter cutoff automation it doesn't record a smooth curve?
    I know Electribe e2 has an option to toggle between per step / smooth curve. I imagine the Digitakt has that also.

    I'm currently debating between Digitakt and MPC Live too.
    The thing is I've bought the OP-1 a while ago and I knew the limitations but I couldn't get passed them. They were bugging me so hard. The Digitakt has some limitations also.

    I'd like to slice a sample and play the slices in chromatic mode. But you can't do that. You have to manually automate the start of the sample which is kind of dumb. I usually record realtime my stuff.

    If I'd make only house / electronic music that would be great, but I'm into more complex / melodic stuff too.

    and yeah, such a bummer that it doesn't work on battery.

    According to cuckoo in his latest vid, he says it shouldn't be a problem hooking it up to a battery powered block/thingy.
    Whatever that is!

    If someone wants to run it off a battery they can go and find out where to get a battery that supplies 12v 1amp.
    Don't see why you expect me to do the running around.

    They have never done anything battery operated. They're pretty much a studio-gear company.

  • LeeBLeeB

    I would have thought batteries would last about 5 minutes on something like that.

    you ran into this thread didn't you? Anyway I don't know anything about volts and amps, but if you wanna know about tramps....

    thanks for somethin.

    I understand that, it's just that so much gear like this has been coming out battery operable that it's becoming a trend, actually I think the iPad encouraged that trend.

    Thanks for finding this one. In case anyone can't keep up with all of these vids, this is the first one I've seen that goes into using MIDI in any real way. The CC sweeps definitely didn't sound stepped to me though that might have just been due to the patch's long attack, I dunno.

  • WillWill

    Thing needs naming shortcuts for samples. Every video shows the laborious seeming process of naming samples. Should be able to tap pads 1-8 while in the naming screen to get a prefix of 'Kick', 'Snr', 'Clp', etc automatically inserted.

    And saved MIDI instruments (ala Cirklon) would be dreamy. Remembers the name, MIDI channel and default CC assignments—preferably named after what they control, not just "CC28". I just wanna bring up 'Volca Keys' or 'Ultranova' and have it do what a computer is supposed to be good at—remembering all that boring crap and providing me with the life of leisure the industrialists promised!

    me too, it's so funny cause even the sped up videos make the naming of samples look tedious haha, I Gotta believe they can do something about that in an update

  • kobamotokobamoto

    liking the digitakt more and more every day

    and check out this one at mark 2:30 what a combo they'll make

  • kobamotokobamoto

    I'm still trying not to get it, crash or no crash haha

    but if you're tied to an outlet anyway why would you get the digitakt over the rytm?

    Price difference is huge ... sampling and probably other stuff which I don't know since I never looked for Analog Rytm

    how I wish that was the case, unfortunately I have more focus than money but on the bright side I've found that it all evens out within limitations :D . Thanks for the info though as I know nothing about battery packs but will surely brush up on the subject now that you've opened my eyes.
