Now that i’ve seen the demos of the Digitakt, WOW that is amazing piece of gear! But I gotta tell myself that an Octatrack can do way better things the Digitakt can, so I don’t have to force myself to buy the Digitakt. LOL!

My sweetwater rep just called me to let me know my Digitakt has shipped. I was one of the first to preorder from them, anyone else who preordered should be getting info on shipment soon.

So has anybody tried routing a midi cable from the DT’s midi out to its midi in, and used the midi sequencer to control the effects parameters, etc. yet? How is it?
Don’t think it’s a problem. I’ll report as soon as I have either repaired or broken the machine. It’s a quick fix I can live with.
OT’s still flipping amazing it just doesn’t have that “look at me I’m new” excitement. It’s DT’s older brother and can beat it up for fun like big brothers do, but it looks like this little guy would put up a good fight being all quick and agile, avoiding blows…
I wanna see two Cenks, one with an OT, and one with a DT, in a groovebox showdown!
In the end I’m sure SidStation will get them to stop fighting and play nice together like good children…

Was just reading the thread this morning but can’t seem to find it for you. There was a video posted of the Digitakt cycling thru three patterns via midi out and back in with step 16 pushing the pattern change. Seemed to work flawlessly from the video.
Just got the tracking number from sweetwater. Should be here tomorrow. Love living so close to them!

Noob question incoming:
Would it be possible for the Digitakt to be treated as a synth with the MPC Live? Let’s say I’m trying to record a 4 bar pattern into the MPC Live, would I be able to record and edit the MIDI notes on the MPC (remove notes, change velocity, move them around etc)? Or does the Digitakt can only be recorded as an audio track?
I also got word from Sweetwater that my DT has shipped! Order date of 2/27 for those interested in comparing their place in line.

I inquired with my Sweetwater rep what the wait time is for a non-preorder, like if I placed my order now. He estimated June 22nd.

Yep, I pre-ordered but mine won’t be in until they get the next shipment. Same ETA. Hoping OBP will be released before that!
Ok, guys, here’s an update: I changed the misplaced FUNC and TRK keys.
The suggested pliers method did‘t work for me - I actually made a dent in my FUNC key (d’oh). After that, I used a very small bent metal spatula, pushed it under the key, and was able to remove the knob without applying force. Putting it back together was extremely easy.

Anyone aware of a non-OB way to transfer samples from DT to computer, the standalone app only does transfers to DT from computer?

doesn’t exist yet. same situation as the Rytm but i hope they remedy this soon!
to not have some mechanism for getting data out of the +drive makes no sense to me. so, if you have a machine that gets stolen, breaks, or has some other issue, (or you want two of them w/ the same data) you simply lose all your work and samples?

What I don’t understand is , How are people going to finish tracks when you cannot stem out your audio tracks ‘until later in the year’??

Record them track by track, or do the mixing as much as you can within DT. It’s not like it is completely impossible to build tracks the way it is. You can adjust levels on it etc…
