Digitakt 2 audio over usb

I want to route audio from the digi usb out to another hardware device, usb audio in.

Unfortunately, I did not have any luck. My question:

Can I use an adapter like this to create another analog out?

You need a computer, phone or tablet to act as a host device. Most USB audio devices are not capable of USB audio interconnectivity without a host device involved. The only ones which I can think of are the OP-XY and OP-1F.

So unfortunately what you’re trying to do won’t work without a third device in the middle and also a way to connect more than 1 USB device to that third device at the same time.

Regarding an extra analog out using the adapter i don’t know, you’d have to try it I guess. I doubt it though but maybe someone already tried and can confirm.

Google also says no, or to paraphrase:

they are specifically designed for car audio systems with a special MP3 decoding function in the AUX port, and are not standard audio adapters. These adapters are not for connecting headphones, speakers, or computers, but rather for playing music from a USB flash drive on specific car stereos that have the built-in MP3 decoding ability.

So basically no, as digitakt is not a USB mass storage device in the first place.

I already tried with op1f, but that doesn’t work either

On the OP1F you changed the input from mic to USB?

In the digitakt menu you enabled USB midi/audio and not overbridge mode?

If it’s not working then I’d probably ask in the OP1F thread, I bet somebody tried to do it and maybe there’s something I’m missing here.

You know what? It might have to do with sample rate.

OP1F may have different requirements for the native sample rate than the digitakt. Just guessing though. I’d still hit up the OP1F topic and see if anyone has tried it.

What is the other device? I regularly use the usb out to send audio to my phone. Just make sure you have set the usb mode to ”midi/audio” in the settings or it won’t work. :smiling_face:

I did, not working

Did you attempt to change the order in which you turn them on? I would start with both powered off and switch on A, let it boot up, then switch on B. If that doesn’t work I would turn them off, wait 30 seconds, and then do the opposite, switch on B first and then after it loads, switch on A.

Is your firmware current? Did you try connecting a different USB audio device to your OP1F? Like an audio interface? Just to see if it works? You tried a different cable?

You can absolutely send digital audio stereo from Digitakt to any USB host (eg. iPhone, iPad, computer) unfortunately, OP1 does not function as a USB host, so no, you can’t

Offtopic: rumors says that Elektron is now working on Overbridge for mobile: we’re all waiting for it
