Between this and the transfer tool I see elektron is back on the right track. Good work !

Ambient dudes will love this, great for emphasising reverb with low threshold and high ratio and medium sidechain, of course it is great on other material too especially stong beat stuff, but fairly unusual to get a comp that works so nice on fairly chill stuff too.

If they added this to the Heat basically it would rule the world

Fingers crossed. Still pretty interested in DT so this is more reason I suppose. Who knows, they could add a compressor to the digitone and maybe then…
Cool! Thanks so much. Anybody knows what does SCS mean ?
Yes but will compression be applied to all 8 tracks (each time source level triggers it)?
Sidechain source. LR or any track 1-8 available

Uhuuhh. Sounds great. Can’t wait to put my hands on this nifty feature. Great job Elektron.

Should add, I’m not much of a compressor on the mix guy - I tend to not go for the pumping effect, and I tend to get my mix sounding how I like by editing the sounds, I might occasionally use a bit of subtle master buss compression and occasionally I’ll use it on things like 303’s or bass drums, and when I saw that the DT update had a comp added I wasn’t overly excited, but gotta say it really sounds great, good enough to be a standalone product even, and it adds a new dimension to the Digitakt for sure.
The only downside is that you will now want to add it to all your Digitakt patterns, so it could take a while if you have a lot

Copy/paste of the compressor page makes that a breeze

True for similar patterns, but because it has such a range it invites experimentation
Between this and sample backup my faith in the Digitakt is restored, it starts to feel like a mature and proper Elektron box to me now.

Is there a way to bypass tracks from the compressor effect? Awesome update for the Digitakt. Please don’t turn this into an Octatrack complaining thread.

I’m really hoping that when a single track is used as the side chain source, that it actually gets bypassed from the compressor effect.

Good point. That would be expected behavior. Anyone can confirm that ?
Much prefer a comp to just slapping the DN chorus for DT… well done

It’s a “master compressor” so I’d think no

Yes. You will compress all 8 tracks, including the sidehchain source.
Would be handy if the makeup gain dropped to 0db automatically when a sidechain source track is selected. Makeup defaults to +12db which is fine when SCS is LR, but with the comp’s default values and 100% wet, there’s a large jump in volume when switching the SCS to T1, T2 etc… could damage some ears/equipment if not careful
It’s a “master” compressor with a “sidechain” option though. It wouldn’t make much sense to use the kick to sidechain the compressor if it also affects the kick sound as well.
