Digitakt II 1.01A : Bug reports

bibenu · 2024-05-03T14:58:27.111Z

Hmmm … so my DT2 (now on firmware 1.01) has a sample factory folder … but it has no samples in it.

I pressed FUNC -> Samples … should I be somewhere else ?

Never had a DT1 but this can’t be right, surely ?

EDIT: Solved … sorry, newb navigation error.

Ime the DT didn’t glitch when you selected the SRC page, it would randomly open the sample list while it was selected but not as a response to the selection. Moving the encoder a bit helped, making it feel like an over sensitivity problem. Have you noticed whether microtiming is effected at the same time?, for me it would sometimes move on its own when the pages where glitching.

Yes, I can confirm the MIDI sync issues. The clock is only unstable if I have the Transfer app connected to the DT2 (Windows 11). Don’t know how it behaves if other apps access it via USB, though.

I didn’t noticed that.
Thanks to confirm

Update corrupted file system issue:

Digitakt II issues with Transfer app

⇒ I formatted +Drive and made factory reset

now I am retransferring samples

like the first time: no problems, even with nested folders in the beginning

thinking of staying below 8GB and waiting there for firmware update

secretly hoping that formatting the drive with 1.01 may have solved the issue but don’t want to push it because it takes days to fill or backup the whole drive (and this is no exaggeration)

However, could not delete a new empty folder (with a typo) on the machine - but could delete it from transfer. That maybe an unrelated bug.

A question for elektronauts having the +DRIVE issue.

Are you on MAC OS ?

I’m on Ventura, the TRANSFER app crashed a multiple times the first time I used it to transfert my samples library. Then corrupting my folder and files.

After my +DRIVE format I tried to use a windows 10 session to upload my samples… and so far so good, no crash, no freeze, no issue.

Is this bug related to a MAC OS compatibility ?

Thank you

I’m using Windows 11 and I’m having the same +drive issues

dustanddrones · 2024-05-04T05:48:43.468Z

Arghhhh now all my hopes are gone

dustanddrones · 2024-05-04T05:58:31.612Z

So can it be due to a formatting issue of the +DRIVE during the manufacturing process ?

All I’ve done is changing my operating system and formatting my +DRIVE after the corrupted files issue.

And for now everything is working fine…

Hope so, too. But won’t push it. Can live with 8GB library. For a while

dustanddrones · 2024-05-04T06:04:44.427Z

I’ll take that risk for you.
I’ll let you know asap

Parastic · 2024-05-04T06:29:00.409Z

I have formatted the drive 3 times now.
It all starts at around 8 GB free space left on the drive, after that the transfer failed and the corrupted files begins

You should write to Elektron.

Isn’t this the bug report thread?

Parastic · 2024-05-04T06:48:36.820Z

I have opened a ticket two days ago.

dustanddrones · 2024-05-04T07:02:03.091Z

Ok, I’ll see.

The main difference I have is that the TRANSFER app crashed multiple times while transferring my samples library the first time (it even crashed on the first folder I’ve tried to import).

After the +DRIVE formatting the files import happened without a single crash.

I will have the answer to my new try later this day (DAMN THIS TRANSFER APP IS WAY TOO SLOW!!!).

gekkonier · 2024-05-04T07:03:57.170Z

I know the pain.
0.33mb/s is like a modem from ancient times that is sampleworthy.

edit:
it transferred 2 gb and watched 2-3 episodes of the expanse (never watched before, its surprisingly good!). My mom has a rancid usb stick that is faster.

Parastic · 2024-05-04T07:21:18.502Z

Yes, I don’t know why there is no sd card slot. Real USB transfer, not over Midi protocol should be minimum in 2024

Jimbo · 2024-05-04T10:43:58.498Z

The +Drive and Transfer issue is a known bug. My DT2 can’t accept multi folder sample transfers without Transfer and the DT2 crashing over and over again. It works sometimes when you unplug the DT2 and wait 10 seconds and then restart Transfer, but even then it’s hit and miss.
I can upload samples in smaller chunks in a piecemeal manner but it took me 3 days to upload 8gb’s of samples.
Even when I uploaded samples successfully, or so it seemed, there are lots of empty sample slots with file names in place but no sound.
I also can’t delete folders from the DT2 or via Transfer without DT2 freezing every time.
Even Syntakt stopped working with Transfer 1.8.6 after the DT2 was used with this version. I had to reinstall an earlier version to get ST to work and then reinstall 1.8.6 again to use DT2.

This is unusable and needs immediate attention.

No, it does l not replace a ticket!
Elektron people don’t necessarily read every post here, so
