Start/end point editing on all audio based machines. Might as well have a full fledge audio editor. For a sampler, it’s odd that it’s so restrictive with regards to working with samples
Memory usage warnings - a bit menu-divey to see where you’re at
Customize pad colours per function (nice to have)
Notification beside functions with automation active. Like a little dot to notify you of automation on a filter frequency. And subsequently, the ability to remove that automation at the function level, rather than just at trigs
Request for the Oneshot machine: Adding a playback mode “alternative loop”.
When the sample playback reaches the end point marker “LEN”, the playback goes on reverse. When the playback reaches the “LOOP” point marker, it goes on forward.
→ Playback mode goes forward, but the looping goes reverse, forward, reverse, forward, etc.
This is useful for making short samples longer (f.e. single note).
Depending on the sampled material, sometimes the outcome of the forward looping doesn’t do the job as well as the alternative looping would do.
Tell me if this request has been already requested BUT I would LOVE if I could change separately what audio goes to the mono main outs and to the headphone out. It would be great to cue tracks through the headphone out.
I know this depends on the architecture, and if it was designed so that this can be done, you probably have had done it already, but who knows, maybe it was not a priority…UNTIL NOW!!!
Cheers!
Thanks for the heads up, good to know that it is a HW limitation. To be honest, now that I think about it, it would be quite crazy if they designed in a 34 channel DAC just for this… Totally understandable.
Temporarily activate the Euclidean sequencer via a special “Fill” parameter, to easily create rolls. It could also be configured in the Setup menu which tracks are affected by this Fill.
Building on this idea, I also imagine a Fill functionality that temporarily swaps one or more tracks from the current pattern with tracks from another pattern, allowing for more precise transitions—always using the Fill as the trigger.
you have 128 sample slots in 8 banks loaded in ram permanently accessible via triglocks , per tracks , via soundlocks, slice is also an option, modulable via the lfos etcc… so basically way more than you rample can handle , the beauty of eurorack is elsewhere i think , the sequencers, logic fonctions and modularity …
i’m a little bit baffled that my first sampler( 20 years ago ) wich was the akai s950 had :
polyphony
a basic yet usable sample editor, i just want to add fade ins and out at this point, maybe slice points manually, and trim outside the sample recorder.
multisample editor to create drumkits
yes more than 20 years ago , i like the digitakt 2 a lot but mannnn i like these fonctions a lot, to me a real sampler must have this , not to mention a 1000€ sampler.
I would totally agree, if the features of both match otherwise. But that’s a very bad argument. Both devices are completely different. Where is the easy to use UI on the Akai? The Playability Change all? P-Locks, Sample locks? Sequencer? Display that isn’t shit? Poetability? Let’s talk about that aweful workflow getting samples in those rack samplers back in the days. The only thing that both share is that they use samples for generating sounds.
It’s like you flaming on a bike forum that the high end carbon fiber bike they are talking about doesn’t have a motor while your 1930th motorcycle already had one as cost way less.
the akai was so basic i learned it in one week max , menu diving was not bad , you has one button per function to access different parts. i 'm afraid they should build on top not erase and restart, without sample editor you need a pc with transfer app, whats’s the use of sampling hardware ?. for sampling well i plugged my synths and sampled exactly has i did on the digitakt and press record , i did not knew SDS at that time. and the analogy for the pricing is relative because i think i paid the akai way less than it is now( cmon 45 sec max sampling at 8 bit :p)
Just want to second this. I would love Elektron to provide a simple means of making everything sound lofi without, as currently, having to simulate this per-track by editing things like filter width, bit reduction etc. There needs to be something at the compressor level (presumably) to just make this happen. I’m considering the DTII against the Lofi XT and this is a key differentiator.
I particularly like this idea, extending slicing options by adding functionality at the point of record and save, rather than later at the point of playback. Might well be less demanding of resources at playback time ?
Hello everyone,
I got a Digitakt II last week and I enjoy it very much, it’s my first Elektron instrument.
I think it would be very useful to have the option to make the mixer/volume settings of the tracks to stay the same among all patterns of a song and not be per pattern
