So, Ideally I want to change songs in ableton live 9…during a live performance. When I do, the digitakt becomes unresponsive to midi via USB. I have to shut down ableton, then shut down the digitakt…then turn on the Digitakt then restart ableton Live 9. Why?
I do a have real bug; unloading multiple samples from the sample manager will still display the waveforms on the source page once unloading is done. Can be reproduced, at least on my machine.

I have noticed duplicate samples turning up in the ram after uploading, sometimes with different parameters attatched. For instance I replaced my number 5 trig with a new sample and another copy appeared at the end of the list with delay effect despite there being none added on the parenter screen.
Have to admit the “mute” function is not really a mute function, its an on/off command locked to the next step, meaning it doesnt work as a normal mute outside of a busy track. I am sure it has its advantages but working with long trigs is not one.
Same here. I transferred some files via USB and then, without any MIDI or USB in use, I had unpleasant crackle and pops, which for a short time seemed related to me using buttons but then stopped eventually. No idea how to reproduce this. Also scared of crashes, I am getting paranoid about saving my project 
I keep getting freezes when using midi tracks and sending the midi back to itself (cable from midi out->midi in).
It’s like 1 out of 5 times I press stop the Digitakt freezes and need a reboot.
The pops and clicks are weird indeed. I recorded the same patterns via the line out a few times and some of the recordings had them, others didn’t. Very weird and annoying.
The midi bothers me the most though, connecting up anything results in crashes here. Even the loopback method. Really hope they fix midi asap.
One more DT freeze when switching its input (MIDI-USB) on DAW’s midi track. The frozen DT blocks my whole rig in its chain, some MIDI-notes stuck. DAW needs a restart.
Don’t know if it was DT specific: DT’s USB-port is from time to time not recognized in OSX’s AM-setup. Power cicle on the DT resolves the problem. Since A4 and AR show similar connection problems (reconnect USB helps out) I’m not sure if OSX (10.12.5) was responsible.
I’ve just got mine last week and had it send for RMA as the 9 key would stick down and prolong notes about half the time. My screen ‘clicked’ when touched as well, with super minimal pressure.
I figured I had nothing to lose and bugged Elektron’s support about the timeline for a patch. Their response was that they couldn’t give an exact date but that it “won’t be very long”. That sort of statement makes me guess it’ll be in the next week or two. I just hope we get a thoroughly stable device out of it.

I’ve had a weird issue where I’m working on a project, save it, switch to a new pattern and then back to the first pattern and my project is no longer loaded. I can re-load the project and continue working. Anybody else encounter this?
Had this twice today:
Sounds just stop being triggered. They play when trigged manually, but the sequencer won’t play anything no matter what.
Restarting has no effect, nor switching Banks etc.
Once this happened whilst the sequencer was playing, just went silent, but didn’t stop running. Again, could trig and hear the tracks manually.
I was able to recover from it once from a previous Project save, but with one Project I was left totally screwed - whatever state the machine is in when it won’t play the sequence was stored in the saved Project it seems.
Anyone else seen this ?
I’ve decided to wait a week to reboot after my most recent digi-brick crash. Hopefully this will all be fixed by then.

My DT for the first time since I bought it a month ago literally would not power on. Just a black screen. After unplugging it and plugging it back in, it turned on. All the other hardware attached to the power strip turned on fine. Stuff like that makes me nervous as I don’t want it to brick out on me in the future. Also this has not happened to any other hardware I’ve owned. Not very confidence-inspiring.
here too
almost similar.
I have not found out the condition but sometimes the patterns stay silent.
I check the mutes but they are off
I check if trigs are still set to play the sounds and they are there.
I press the buttons one to eight to actually hear the sounds played.
And then, after a while the pattern is played again.
As all of the actions above just take seconds I consider it weird and a bit annoying but due to tha lack of observation I cannot say waht causes this…
meh…
Thanks. I’ve submitted a ticket for it.
Second time it happened, I wasn’t even touching the unit - it just stopped.
I’ve performed a Factory Reset, will see what happens today …

did the factory reset kill your projects and samples as well?
No, I think it’s cool long as you haven’t changed anything in the presets project - double check here first though. My projects and samples are still there.
The ‘empty reset’ probably wipes everything though

Edit: Spoke too soon, just went silent again (not touching the unit at all, just same pattern playing).
Tried another Factory Reset, reloaded the project, but the sequencer will not trig anything.
I can trig the sounds manually. New patterns, changing samples, nothing gets the trigs playing again.
Unfortunately in this unstable state, this is completely unworkable, as I never know when I’m going to lose my work, and I can’t seen to recover it at all.
…
2 hours solid with no issues after the Factory Reset.
DT as master, OT and AK slaved. Working wonderfully. (No USB)
My Digitakt fails constantly when uploading samples. Just one shots I’ve tried everything. Lame.
