Digitakt is amazing!!

kobamoto

but how amazing is the company that could take a workflow like the Octa and turn it into the workflow of the digi and then turn that into the workflow of the Model...!
and not forgetting the uniqueness of the Rytm, these guys have the potential to really hit us with something special next time

it's getting harder and harder to resist an Octatrack, but model samples is such an incredible little beat machine that you just know the next flagship they kick out will have the power of the octa with the workflow of the Model samples...(hopefully), and with my luck it would get released the day I bought an octatrack lol

I really do love my Octa but I would say the fun factor of the Digitakt is a lot higher. Haven’t played with MS which looks incredibly fun. I would love to see them do an Octa Mk3 or a Digitakt 2 that takes the fun of one and the functionality of the other.

omg if they don't know this up there in elektron heaven then what do they know haha
I have a digitakt and love it but it's constantly jealous of my model sample, if the model sample could actually sample there would be trouble in Lala land

Then I think you would be less stoked with the Octa, mine gets jealous of the Digi for the same reasons.

Yes. Octatrack is like filling in an Excel spreadsheet, whereas the Digitakt is more like writing 58008 on your pocket calculator.

HAHA

Turns phone upside down. Ohhhhhh.

Yeees. I really think Elektron is way ahead of everything else. I also feel bad because it seems I talk about them a lot over here. (Audiobus forum) That said, I will say via some other threads on this forum that GR16 is a close match to the work flow of the Digi...

I’ll still never get rid of my Elektron gear. Made me love hardware again ❤️

If only GR16 had per-trigger p-locks…

SanMateo

@mistercharlie agreed. With all the Elektron style conditional trigs it has i’m surprised that it left that out. Drambo maybe?

auxmux

My workaround is to use StepBud for trig conditions and parameter locks in synths and Octachron for drums.

kobamoto

there are several apps that could be fleshed out to to give more of that elektron goodness, the Ton drum machine, patterning, Gr16, and others.

kobamoto

I think ben is contemplating making patterning an au host, when that happens I think it's going to usher in a whole new era of cool ideas, because that way it will still keep patterning workflow in tact.

Interesting. I'm using both and I can't see much similarity in the workflows. Some of the features including per-step p-locks yes, but not the workflow.

interesting mpc live hack

"Using the XY beat repeat effect, you can basically capture a two bar loop, and with the effect latched, you can then go on to add effects after that loop. AND! Because you can put XY effects on each individual track, you can then head to another track and do the same. You can even do it on the live inputs as well

Mixing a few of these together and sampling the results is really great. I find it to be much more fun and creative than using the actual looper."

With one hand he GASeth (MPC Live!) with the other he taketh the GAS away (already have patterning)

Well it’s not one for one for me, but for on the go it’s as close to it as I feel a single app can get, at least the way I work. It’s more like a digi light though then a full blown takt. I don’t particularly like the sounds in it so I just load a bunch of one shots and single cycle waveforms into audioshare and build my own synths from that. What parts of the workflow seem different to you? Again I see it as a light version, so definitely missing some features.

patterning + the mpc sample editing= delicious

and this guy just happens to be the Dev for this great app

One of the biggies in the Digitakt is the quick sampling and resampling. Plus the huge MIDI features. I agree that if you need neither of these, GR16 is the closest match.

How do you get audio into this "Esion" app? Is it just via the mic?

dev said it's primarily for working with the phone mic, but that it also works with hardware interfaces, however he said he can't guarantee that it will work with all hardware interfaces and that he's tested it with the Roland go.

Thanks for the info.

That's a bummer. I'd buy it if I could import a sample into it.

I feel exactly the same way... but the dev is very open minded, it's worth asking him as that wouldn't change his vision that much me thinks.. I'll ask as well

This is great! Does it have parameters locking? Yes the age old question.

It's an old box but if it's anything like my old Electribe ES-1 it can automate one parameter per track

mrcanister

love the live jams

kobamoto

yeah the es-1 is pretty dope still, anybody remember what the sample time is on that one?

mistercharlie

Just realized I can control and Eventide H9 with the Digitakt. You can even sequence the looper from the Digitakt. Pretty wild stuff.

The red electribe in the vid is an er-1: has 4 synth engines plus built in PCM samples for hh, cym, clap. No sampling capabilities or loading own samples.

Roughly 90 seconds (16Bit@32Khz) in mono, stereo halves the time...

Do you know if you can use this app to create something on the iPhone and then AirDrop the file across to the iPad and choose AudioShare to open it with?

That would be good enough for me. Thanks.

did it still have the weird naming conventions last time you checked that old number system?

was talking about another model the Es, but all of those old electribes are looking fun these days

not sure about that
