Hi this is a newbie question but hoping somebody could explain.
Digtitakt2 has 16 sequence steps per page in a pattern. If I instead of sequencing, I select the keyboard and record my self playing notes (which could be played fast and therefore have notes between the discrete 16 sequence steps) how do i then find those individual trigs and change stuff, like the note, or duration for example?
Many thanks, and sorry if it’s not clear.
Once recorded, you can hold the red steps to see their microtimed offsets by tapping the L/R arrow (they’ll light up red). The mcrotiming offset will show onscreen as either to the left or the right of the centre ‘0’ point.
Recording this way can be awkward though - the Elektron sequencer is not particularly high resolution, so the timing of your live playing will not necessarily be the timing you’ll get out of the sequencer, due to the limited microtiming ‘steps’ the notes can be shifted onto.
You may not find them if you play faster than 1/16.
Before recording, you can set the scale at twice the speed. You will now have 8 bars with a 1/32 resolution instead of 8 bars at 1/16.
All the Electrons use step sequencers with microtiming. When you record live playing, you’re still writing data into the pattern’s steps, just as if you’d entered them in Grid or Step recording mode using the trig buttons. Any steps you record that are away from strict grid time will be registered as being on the nearest step, with micro-timing adjustments to bring them forward or backward around the step.
You can record quantized or unquantized.
The easiest thing would be to double the step count and change the scale to x2, giving you the equivalent of a step in between.
Yep, my suggested post. 
What everyone is getting at, is that you can’t subvert the sequencer’s own resolution. There is no half step between the finest increment of the resolution even though midi recognizes finer incrementation elektron does not, so even unquantized recording will attach itself to the nearest point in time recognized by the sequencer.
Quantized recording, however, will attach the event to a note value it recognizes as rhythmically meaningful, so the accepted note divisions as opposed to a strictly resolution based placement.
You can, as stated, view the amount off the grid which you’ve recorded by holding the recorded trig and pressing right or left, and from there it can be further adjusted. Tchu makes a great point about doubling bpm to get a better resolution of your playing, if that’s necessary to humanize the playing or whatever.
Imho @GabaGhanoush wants to change parameters after live recording :
Press Rec to go in Grid Recording. Hold a step to Edit.
Yes but he may not see all the Trigs played if he was playing faster than 1/16 so that’s why we suggested those tips.
Fluctuations in pitch and loudness as well will be different. Not just microtiming. And if you use pedals then softness or reverb will be too.
I see.
Resolution doesn’t bother me, and I prefer quantized recording.
What I can’t stand is that you can erase previous notes with a longer note. I’d love an option to keep notes not on the same steps.
Thank you and everyone else for the replies. I now understand what is going on now… the micro timing makes sense. The thing that now puzzles me is if you had 2 or 3 quick trigs that round to the same 1/16, then selecting that 1/16 only allows you to adjust the closest 1. No need to reply I can check that when I get home!
You can switch to retrig play mode and live record what you play.
Only one trig recorded per step, still, but with different retrig rates you can get your rhythm subdivision.
You can play only one track at a time though.
Unless you set retrig on for the test where you need such subdivisions.
It’s more fluid imo to play with your fingers the base, then refine with each loop…
Hey, just wanted to check if you had reached any conclusion or found the utility you were looking for in the elektron sequencer. I’m right now contemplating the same question. I want to record live drumming from the Nord Drum 3P and was wondering what would be recorded if I play fast. So did you get anywhere? What has been your experience in your particular case?
