Digitakt 2 Modulation Minimum Speed

So about a month in, i am almost in love with the DT2 already . What a machine.

One thing i can`t bend my head around and hope that someone will tell me its easily solvable.

Regarding Modulatios and their slowest speed. I had a strings like sound and in this case wanted to modulate its „Tune“ . I set the Beat subdivider to 1 and the Speed completely counter clockwise to minus (cant remember the exact number).
The modulation is still too fast for my taste. I was wishing-imagining an ever slightly subtly changing pitch that is too slow to immediately recognize. The way it is now i fid it much too fast for this.
Is there a hidden way or is this the limit?

You could try changing the track bpm to half that of the global bpm but with the same overall settings and see if it’s slow enough for you.

A division of half will make any math to get where you want pretty straightforward, like the multiplier etc.

Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for though.

If you went all the way negative, you were actually setting the speed quite high. The slowest values are closest to 0 (12 o’clock on the on-screen knob). Negative values reverse the shape of the LFO.

The BPM-synced Mult setting at 1 _BPM will be the slowest mult option if your pattern tempo is slower than 120BPM. If your pattern is faster than 120BPM, then a Mult setting of 1 without being locked to BPM will go slower.

Move the speed to 0.1 or -0.1 , a very small number - not fully left or fully right.

I think. It’s been a while since a messed with it

Speed needs to be close to 12 o’clock to be at its slowest settings. Speed knob is bipolar, phase inverted on the minus side.

Elektron LFOs are slow as fuck if you set them up right.

Ok so i see i misunderstood the logic of the Minus values. Even though i read the manual more than once i am still hugely overwhelmed by the information and getting adjusted to this new completely different world than what i am used to.

Thank you. Will check it out later

You must be right cause others here seem to all agree on this.

Thank you!

Very nice. Need to try it out with this new state of mind and now that i am better informed

Thank you!

That sounds like a great „hack“. I love brainiac solutions

Thanks a lot!

Now depth is another issue altogether.

I’d live a fine tune parameter on DT samples.

Often times a warble to my tastes is like .03 depth.

Not much room for fine tuning.
