@cuckoomusic does this really cool thing at around the 34 minute mark
he uses the trigs in keyboard mode to play different looping slices in the grid machine while also assigning keytracking to change the pitch of the slices
does anyone know the numerical value for keytracking that will accurately play the slices chromatically?
i just tested this. it looks like the numerical value should be 1
weird, i just tried this myself and it seemed it like the keyboard was tracking chromatically at 8?
Iām sure Iāve heard 8 mentioned before. (Stuck in my mind as odd, would have expected 12.0 or 1.0 or 100% or something)
Itās +8 TUNE for me as well. Perhaps itās different for different slice count?
The video above is great. Thanks. The explanations and thoughts are really well said.
Itās +8 on the pitch patameter!
This technique is very fun and brings a lot of possibilities.
Mute tracks from Grid Recording mode!
This might be something everyone knowsā¦ but I just discovered it by chance: In Grid Recording mode, [TRK] + [FUNC] (in that order) momentarily displays Mute mode. I find this very useful!
Digitakt 2 Still Lack Slicing - But This Is the Next Best Thing
Been exploring the Digitakt 2 postāOS 1.10A, and while a proper slice mode is still missing, Iāve found a surprisingly usable workaround that I wanted to share (and get your thoughts on).
By using the preset pool to store multiple start points from the same sample, you can treat it almost like a manual slice rack. Combine that with TRK+TRIG (to apply parameter changes across all steps) and PAGE+TRIG (for editing specific pages), and it actually gets you decently far ā especially with chopped breaks, vocal bits, or odd textures.
I made a video walking through how Iāve been doing it and talking a bit about how these limitations sometimes push me into more creative, human grooves.
Curious if anyone else is doing this or has other tricks for sample slicing on the Digitakt 2? Or if youāve just made peace with the lack of a real slice mode?
