About Slicing Samples : No Slice Mode in DT? Should I trade DT for a OT?

1. What are the values, if you want to change start points ? 000.00, 000.01, 000.02…?
2. Possible to have whole values ? 000.00, 001.00, 002.00, etc…
3. If the value is 120.00, there’s no sound ?
4. Special behaviour if you press the button or Function ?

128 values would have been easier for 64 “slices”.
I asked those question twice. No awsers.

1. Yes, it goes from 0.00 to 120.00 with increments of 0.01 in each step.
2. Possible to select whole values? Don’t understand what you’re asking.
3. No that’s right, that’s the end of the sample. So the last part of a sample you can playback is 119.99 to 120.00.
4. I have no idea, don’t have a DT yet.

The 0 to 120 positions available for the Rytm has been discussed a lot on the Analog Rytm.

Check this thread and specifically daltons post:

Sample start/end has 120 steps?

Hi, with n slices there are n+1 positions (slice boundaries) where playback can start and stop. So if the knob had a range of 0 to 127 you would be able to select 128 positions and that would give you 127 slices. You would not be able to select any perfect divisions because 127 is a prime. To get 128 slices the knob would need to range from 0 to 128 (have 129 values) and thus break the MIDI 7-bit convention which allows only 128 values for a parameter. With a range of 0 to 120 you have 121 pos…

Kind of different on the DT since you have the two digit precision but anyways. (I’m thinking the Digitakt inherited a lot of it’s sample playback features and design from the Rytm.)

Here’s a sample chain calculator for the integer values from 0 to 120
