Digitakt II: bug reports

[verdurin]

Just tried this with a lock trig on BR, OVER, and SRR on the FX page of DTII.
Found the same - for BR and SRR, FUNC plus parameter moves to predefined values. When editing a lock trig, the values change normally i.e. moving up and down by the standard values, not to predefined ones.

@verdurin Thanks for checking! I guess it’s not a bug then. Probably an omission, or a deliberate choice.

FYI, there’s a dedicated thread.

Using func. while p.locking?!

First post, so hi all. Just got a DTII and i like the func. + parameter option for big full steps. For instance Tune goes from 0.00 to 12.00 to 24.00 (full octaves). So now i wanna p.lock and do the same, BUT it seems the func. button doesnt work while p.locking, and i have to manually dial in 12.00 (which is very fiddly imo 11.98 > 12.03 > 11.99 > 12.04 > you’ve been there). Is there a better method for this? So i press trig + func + parameter button , but it’s the same as trig + parameter bu…

@Patrik

Hi Patrik, I communicated with you over support email a while back about this issue and I just wanted to send you a heads up that I submitted a copy of my affected project to you via email. It’s been a while since you requested it and wanted to make sure you receive it. Thanks for the help!

I will link my video posted in elektronauts which shows the issue, so far it has happened once a day for 3 days.
Some amount of recent patterns will have sequencer data on startup but no track data, the pattern has a light, even a name, a full sequence, but is loading my default kit that my project would’ve had before the previous session working on the track. This has happened to both midi and audio tracks, ive thankfully noticed pretty soon after (next day) and remembered what i was doing and have had to recreate sounds from scratch which obviously will be reaaaaallly fucking annoying at some point, hasn’t been too catastrophic yet.

I might have found a bug, but before making a ticket I want to make sure:
When I select a sample, use the slicer machine, set the slice points, then when I select this very same sample in a different pattern (or even in a different project) with the slicer machine, the previously set slice points should show up, right? I remember reading this somewhere… I tried this with one of my samples, but unfortunately the slices appear only on the pattern I originally defined them. If I use the same sample on another pattern, with the slicer machine, they are gone

[videomusik]

I would think that is expected behavior.
Perhaps it’s possible to save the slice data with a preset, but I don’t think it would automatically save with the sample.
Apologies if I am misunderstanding the issue.

[Kolksen]

No, I think you understand it correctly
It is just that I read this somewhere and it would have been pretty cool since it can save a lot of time. But I will save it as a preset then, that should be fine too.

[videomusik]

Another way to think about it is: if you want to slice the same sample in two ways in two different patterns, it would be impossible with the behavior you mentioned above. I’m pretty sure the slice data belongs to the sound, which in turn is saved in preset, kit, etc

[Kolksen]

Summary

Yes, I was thinking about that as well. I could bring a counter-argument, but still, making it into a preset is the only solution that will fulfill everyone’s needs.

I seem to be experiencing the same issue of stuck notes when using DT to pass on the midi from an external keyboard to an external synth, but on track 9. Changing each midi config setting one by one and retesting has not helped. Restarting hasn’t helped. Will try replicate on a new empty project and other tracks. May do firmware upgrade as last resort (a real pain since I don’t use a pc).

[heatfuse]

So just reporting back that the issue does not occur on a new blank project. Big relief as I was thinking I would have to find another midi sequencer. Bit taken back though to encounter buggy behaviour on a hardware sampler that has been around now for a while.

I really wish they would sort out the live midi recording. I constantly get notes that erroneously have either min or max note LEN values. I’m surprised it’s not talked about more, it’s a massive issue for me.

Does anyone else notice patterns overwriting eachother (like phantom pasting). It sometimes happens when I’m quickly going through patterns, holding PTN + the pattern number + STOP → PLAY (using those 4 buttons very quickly) . I’m like “how am i accidently pasting patterns when I’m not even pressing the FUNC button”. I’ve lost a few patterns to this now and idk if it’s something I’m doing wrong or a bug.

[bibenu]

@mutant

holding PTN + the pattern number + STOP

If hold all 3 together, that’s a pattern paste. I’m guessing by ‘+’ you mean ‘followed by’ (rather than ‘at the same time’) and you’re accidentally doing the 3 together ?

[mutant]

ohhhh mb. i didn’t know that

[radzmar]

There’s a bug in 1.15A when using MIDI presets. Let’s say you set up a MIDI track to control an external device and save that settings as a preset. When you load that preset to another track the selected MIDI channel shown under SRC is completely ignored. The data is instead sent over channel 1. To make it work you’ll first have to select another MIDI channel, then send a PC message and finally select the correct MIDI channel.

Even worse the CCs are also not sent correctly. Instead of the selected ones it sends various others. So you will probably change totally different thing as expected. So far the MIDI presets are totally useless.
