AK / Digitakt - Joystick via Midi

Hi all,

Is there a way to get the Analog Keys joystick working with Digitakt? I’m using the AK in Midi Mode

I think the DT does not receive modulation data … and tried to use it in the midi part … to control another synthesizer, using AK as master keyboard … only record notes in the sequencer …

Yeah, from all the research I’ve done, it seems that it’s a no-go! :man_facepalming:

I’ve settled on a Midi Merge box - I’ll run the AK into the Digitakt, then both the Out and Thru of the Digitakt into the merge box, which can forward onto other synths. That way, I can play / record the other synths live, making the most of aftertouch and joystick, whilst still also being able to sequence them via Digitakt (albeit only with notes / Plocked parameters).

Fingers crossed it works ok… I’ve gone with an old Philip Rees 2M box, arriving tomorrow. In theory it should work in exactly the way I need! :crossed_fingers:
