The Dt machine is simple to operate. The ability to work while processing a large flow of music is awsome. Elektron has really advanced the concept, on the workflow processing.
Itās quite possible Thomann isnāt part of the first batch, and their first is the actual second.
Or so Iām telling myself when I get scared

I still recon we get a compressor and eq for the master, it makes sense 
Iām a total nerd and I bask in its Glory

Even though Iād love to get my hand on the DT this month, itās hard for me to picture this happening when we still donāt know much about the midi sequencer and anything about the āMasterā section.

Re: Thomann:
they seem to get their batches of new elektron gear allways somehow late,
but i think they get bigger batches. 
same goes for Analogue Haven and eurorack: late but huge quantities
i see there some logic in it
again: @ Simon or @Elektron HQ:
can you please tell me in which format i have to prepare now my samples for the sample-transfer software which feeds the Digitakt ?
IĀ“ve had a surch the other day, took me 50 minutesā¦
all i found was that the digitakt is taking 16/48.
but: this isnĀ“t telling me anything about what the sample-transfer and translation? software is capable to deal with.
i do most of my sample recordings in a MPC1K, ā¦stuck to 16/44.
so if i donĀ“t have to convert would this safe my ALOTS of work.
i even had no clue how to doā¦
hey, and if it has been allready posted twice or triple, that info is so important it even would not hurt to have it on every third page in this thread vs. all the speculation posts about this and that for nothingā¦
Iāve wondered the same thing, but Iām assuming mono, 16-bit, 48kHz, .wav is the way to go from the info. weāve got.

Iām going to guess it will be the same as the Rytm. As long as its a WAV, they get converted to mono/16 bit/48k/normalized. They load faster if already in that format, but the Rytm does the converting if theyāre not. WAV only though.

anyone with a gear4music pre-order wanna check if their 1st batch had been pushed back to may 31st too?
ok, automatic conversion seems a save bet then when the Rytm has it allready.
Thats Good News !
but wait:
automatic Normalisation ?
oh wow, that would be a major drawback for me ! hell.
thats No Good News !
this would show quite a lack of understanding working with samples from the side of elektron IMHO.
IĀ“m preparing my recent drumsample and oneshot samplesets with quite some different levels per sample these days.
For example have i some āsmokeyā BD samples with not much frequenty content and thus not much power in it.
To make them standing out as fat samples have i to choose very carefully the level of other samples !
also do i incloude some ghostNote samples.
Not the same feel and work if i had to lower their level on the trackā¦
anyway as i can p-lock the samples in a elektron Box and will use the ghost note samples with its related daddy, for example BD and its ghosts on the same track.
@Elektron:
i hope you consider such ways of working and add a on-off button to the automatic Normalisation in the sample transmitting software.
a absolute must have in my opinion !
thanks for reading
Thanks hotscience

U can easily change levels, I have no idea why this is a concern to you. IMO itās better to mix loud samples lower than trying to set the levels of other samples to work with samples that are entirely too quiet.
changing ālevelsā of the samples to get ghostnotes is just not the same.
When you p-lock different samples on one track would it be even something much worser.
Totally cumbersome and unneccessary wokload.
To adjust by āvelocityā means a loss of subtle dynamicsā¦also no solution
thats just how it is, why trying to defend the undefendable ?
there are many aspects to it why it makes lots of sense to NOT normalize any sample automaticly.
Ghostnotes is one, different loudness perceivement of different frequenzy content is another.
i fore example try to ācarefullyā adjust my sample sets so, that if i play each sample with the same level/velocity that no one is sticking out in a unpleasant way or even hurting my ears.
ā¦there went lots of thinking and experience into that kind of workflow, belive me.
another interesting aspect of that thematic is for example that many pros do not work with 0db normalised samples, just to say.
its in the meantime also my experience to better have the samples overall not normalised to 0db, regardless of my above pointsā¦and it allows to emphasize some single samples with very little frequenzy content like some softer basedrums by normailising only those to 0db.
i made my points. these are valid ones
what would it hurt you if you had a usersettable option to set normalisation on-off ?

Is auto-normalization during sampling or resampling? Its normal if it is for resampling since it cuts off a little bit of frequencies. Normalization keeps the levels sounding like the original.

If you are importing samples from the computer I wouldnāt worry about the āauto normalizingā itās probably for sampling on the box directly.

I would think this is right
Auto Normalization sucks. 
It probably would ā¦ but does it even exist in the Elektron cosmos ? !
