64 steps max, individual length per track and a scale setup for all tracks (pattern).
I checked the manual, you can do it too !

Are there any videos of this? I’m new to Elektron and ordered a Digitakt. I’m interested in what this allows you to do but can’t wrap my head around it.
Maybe some videos for OT, but no sure it is impressive.
Basically, you’ll be able to control audio track parameters with the midi CCs listed p64 of the manual.
Additional midi Lfo, additional conditional trigs…

What is the purpose of doing that? Can you give an example or two?

You can automate Fx parameters, add an Lfo, add conditional parameters trigs on the same step (one in audio tracks, another in midi tracks), eventually other notes variations…
Depends on you needs, imagination !
@void And of course you can do this :

My DT is scheduled for delivery today - very excited!
The next decision I have is how best to incorporate it into my setup. I have a MM, OT, O-coast, micro brute and an eventide H9. I’m tempted to put the OT away and just focus on using the DT and sample into it…

Dt can sequence your Ocoast, Mirobrute and a few tracks on the MnM. Use the OT as a performance mixer. Two mono tracks from the Ocoast and Micro go into the the A & B inputs of the OT then the DT go into the C & D inputs. Have the MnM go into the DT. Might be fun.
All of that, but I say Run DT through MM on its way to OT C/D.
MM is a great FX processor with 3 more LFOs on just a single stereo track.

Oh yeah good point.
Hi, new to the forum. Just ordered the DT and can’t wait to get my hands on it :). I’ve been waiting for exactly a machine with this capability.
Question regarding the midi out to in trick: wouldn’t it be possible for Elektron to incorporate this internally in a future update?
Typing this, I realize I could use a midi splitter to still be able to use the midi out for other gear 
It would be an interesting update for Octatrack too !
Not sure it will happen.
Yes you can use a thru box connected to midi out, and eventually a midi merger to midi in order to mix the signal of another midi gear.
Digitakt will be my Drum Sampler in the studio and to go and also sequence stuff to go via MIDI. But it´s not the center, which still will be Ableton Live with Launchpad Pro. However…the Digitakt will sequence either the new Novation Peak, DSI Prophet 6 Desktop, or Korg MS20M.
It will be the heart of our live setup, sending midi to a Moog Sub37 and a Juno106 that will also be played manually and be the driving force behind drums and percussion ofcourse, next to an small Akai sampler for one-shots and all going thru the MX-1.
For most people, I think it would be difficult having the Digitakt as the brain of your setup when it doesn’t have a song mode, and won’t save pattern chains.

ditto, but i plan on using the DT as a secondary brain alongside the MnM…so MnM’s song mode will do the directing.

Everyone wanting song mode is not registering to me.
I almost always play live by playing loops from pads or keys live. That’s nonstop button mashing, twiddling all while keeping time by hand.
For me, having to hit a few buttons to go to next pattern just seems easy as hell. And anyway, what’s the difference between song mode and a cdj? Is there some major advantage that I’m missing?

I guess if you’re busy with other boxes/Guitar/drums etc so you need it to run a full song by itself, but at some point in the song you plan to drop playing the other gear and do some tweaking…

Fair point.

Well, that’s just, like, your opinion man.
Seriously, it’s not jam out one bars. Ive done half hour live sets on only my sp-404 or op-1. And most of my songs 2-4 minutes with multiple loop layers. But I’m not a talented musician who plays multiple instruments.
In any case, for me, the DT is great. If I want song mode then I’ll just hook up my AR. But I can’t see myself using it.
Mostly I’m just tired of seeing the same comment on infinite loop. We get it; there’s no song mode and it makes the box unusable for you. I’m quite sure 
has seen the request. Let’s wait and see if they add it. If they do, yay!
Meanwhile let’s talk about what we can do instead of what we could do
