@kobamoto: Elektron has already released a beefier version of the Digitakt, it's called Octatrack 2
And if it was as immediate to use as the Digitakt, I would have purchased that one instead. Great features on paper, but scratching my head when I'' m sitting in front of it.
@Deluge-lovers: The Deluge has caught my attention too. If I had the money to spend and if I was free to choose between e.g. the Digitone or the Deluge, I'd certainly get the latter because I have plenty of MIDI sound sources.
But from experience I have learned that features are nothing without intuitive usability, and that's where opinions will naturally drift, just like when discussing which DAW is "the best".
We only have limited time to learn using a machine, and that amount of time we're ready to spend regularly somewhat determines how complex a machine we should get at best.

15:30 is pretty sic
Are P-locks polyphonic? Meaning, can you change settings for one note, and that parameter stays the same for the entire note, regardless if it overlaps with a new note?
For instance, you set an lfo’s speed fast for one note, when the next note comes in with a slow lfo, but the notes overlap, do you keep hearing the fast lfo on the first note?
That would be a real difference worthy of distinction, otherwise it is just chunky automation. Which is still fun.
You can set the clock divider per track on the DT. See "10.9.2 LENGTH PER TRACK MODE" in the manual.
It doesn't make up for the crap pattern chaining mode though.
Not on the Digitakt but the DT is monophonic. Not sure if it's possible on other devices. I think you can do this with most polyphonic synths that have 'key trigger' LFOs. So yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible via parameter locking, presuming the target supported key triggered LFOs.
My bank called and asked me to tell you to cut that shit out.
I was reaching for my wallet until it got close to the end and I started getting the less than fluid feeling when he got to the part of 'no truncation' and having to resample to truncate, then after that it descended into a workflow that I'm not particularly looking to get into right now but I can see that the dev has an opportunity to score some easy points by polishing up the sampling stuff a bit.
I have to say, a great beat machine will shine through itself and it's own limitations and I know there are a lot of people very upset with elektron right now for the lack of over bridge but..... I love the digitakt to death I really do, it's been a long time that I felt that way about an instrument that I considered to be too expensive, limited, and unnecessarily handicapped by the dev...but I love just Vibing with it
Is there knob movement recording style p-locking? For example in Grooverider you can record knob movements as stepped automation but it’s stepped by the grid resolution, not per note and with note length also taken into account. Is this a thing that exists? Cause that would be pretty cool to just record parameter locking.
Yes, you can record knob movements live on Elektron boxes (and the Korg Monologue). The values are quantized to steps because there's no interstitial spots to place them. Then you're welcome to edit it further via the locking method described earlier.
Here's a video on parameter locking in Perforator:

Hmm. I’d want it to be that whatever the parameter value is at the moment of a note attack during recording, it will record and hold that value for the duration of that note upon playback. Otherwise it’s just stepped, quantized automation curves. But maybe I misunderstood
I see now. Pretty useful!
It's also clock division per track. You can set both on the length screen (they call it scale). I mean, I even looked up the position in the manual for you!
I'm pretty sure that's what it is. That step gets whatever value the parameter is set to at the moment of the trig.
Parameter locking is great. It basically allows you to have different settings for each step of a sequence. I have a digitakt and I’ve never had so much fun making music.
Ack. My bad. I could have sworn I had this going at some point.
All I know is I love the digitakt, and whether or not I ever get any other elektron products or not I will keep it forever because in the right hands it can do whatever I want it to do.
If you compare the spec sheets of Ableton and the Digitakt, the Digitakt will look like a joke in comparison.
It's not that I wouldn't want poly audio tracks (which I remedy by using the 8 poly MIDI tracks), stereo samples and SD cards for storage on it, but it's not that I would ever try to replace Ableton Live by a little hardware box.
Quick sampling, hands-on control and a lovely user interface (from my own POV of course) make it the first stop for either capturing ideas or just toying around with samples, and my second stop is Ableton Live to "go deeper".
Push 2 is really well done, but let's not forget that Push 2 plus Ableton Suite software is about twice the price of a Digitakt.
Both complement each other, I would say. Some time in the future elektron will release Overbridge with much better integration into any DAW, but for now I can stream audio and MIDI into Ableton Live already, better than nothing.
@Dawdles: There's still room for improvement in the elektron boxes, no question, especially when considering the prices asked
definitely, Imo the digitakt is like the Roland sp-404 or op1 in regards to how many improvements they could make, it's amazing what people get out of them though in spite of their omissions
Or maybe the sp and the op are classics that people got so much out of in least in part because of their omissions.
Indeed.
Huh, turns out p-locks in Drambo don’t work as I thought they did. Like someone asked before, is it possible to make locks last the note’s whole duration polyphonically, Elektron style? Right now they work like a monophonic automation layer, instead of latching and being a property of the triggered note.
