Digitakt II: bug reports

wow that would be awesome

an efficient zero-crossing detection or some kind of crossfading function would be highly appreciated

but even just the bare minimum of debugging the sampling/resampling time would be enough to convince me to buy a dt2 again

Am I misunderstanding how the LFOs work on DT2, or are they buggy?
Let’s say that on the SRC page, sample start is set to 50% of the selected sample. If I choose a random LFO with a rather small depth that controls sample start, shouldn’t this then oscillate around 50%? So for example, it starts at 50, 48, 52, 51, 49, 50, 52, 49 etc (of course these values would be random, but still around the 50% mark)? Because for me it seems to still jump to sample start and end, even with small depth.

Have you messed with the other LFO settings ? I’ve seen unexpected modulation jumps with a combo of trig mode one/half with a waveform of exp or ramp … I never pinned it down but I wonder if what you’re seeing is related.

For this kind of thing I usually set LFO to on trig or free. Can do a bit more digging into it and see later.

it should be 60 (120 is the max sample length)

depth should also be max of 60 for full sample span. more than that and you’re hitting the sides (start/end). the distance travelled also depends on the length of the sample. if it’s a long sample, you’ll need smaller depth values to stay close to the middle of the sample.

I used percentage and not actual values here, to maybe make it a bit easier to understand.
So when I used 20 sec sample and set depth to 1, it should not hit the start and end, right?

Not in the regular One Shot machine. But if you’re using another machine (Grid) then that might be your issue.

Yeah, this is on oneshot, so I will try to reproduce this and maybe film it or something. But gotta focus on getting a live set done first.

Fwiw, I just tried with a 20sec sample. Only a Depth of 60/-60 touches the sides. Depth of 1 is nowhere near.

Interesting. Can you try to trigger sample on every or every other step at a bpm of 132 and put LFO condition to trig? It still works as it should?

Works fine. Maybe your sample is set to play in reverse on the SRC page?

No. But I will get back to this page once I have documented it more. I have to work on my live set.

TBH this is an absolute howler of a bug, not being able to resample loops is a killer for any vaguely competent sampler

i agree and this specifically was the unfortunate deciding factor when it came to selling mine

i love elektron and miss working with samples but am too dumb to take the octatrack plunge

hopefully it gets fixed soon!

Select unused samples doesn’t work.

Is this a known bug: Audio over USB (no overbridge but class-compliant): When I choose USB out “ext” I only/falsly receive fx audio but not the external input. When external in L/R is set high it also goes through to main out (but not to USB). USB out “main” works, then it streams the external L/R (with the main mix, what I don’t want).

Maybe somebody else here could check if the get USB “ext” with just the External audio to host device?

Each row in song mode launches the pattern again even if it hasn’t changed. Therefore triggers with COND=1st played again and sequence reset even with parameter RESET=INF.

Just started diving into song mode and this happens to me as well. Hopefully gets fixed with the next release.

I setup two 8 bar songs with mutes setup for the kicks on bar 8. Just for testing how I might use things. I queue a song switch and the progress bar immediately shows that it’s working through Bar 1 of the song just queued then it changes to that song in starts at Bar 2.

:frowning:

I’d really love to leverage song mode to automate some variation.

Yeah. So I basically duplicate everywhere first row to avoid this problem

That won’t work for how I want to use it. The only workaround is for me is to song change and turn loop mode on for 1 bar to make up for the missing first bar. I hope it’s sorted out with the next update. Super easy to reproduce.
