Digitakt MIDI + Make Noise 0-Coast/Modular

Elektron Gear Digitakt

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can offer some advice :smiley:

I want to set up Digitakt MIDI out to do the following:

  1. Send Digitakt MIDI clock (start/stop with Digitakt sequencer) to 0-coast tempo in (then clock out from 0-coast into eurorack clock divider) - basically making Digitakt master clock for modular through the 0-coast. 0-coast accepts CC on channel 114 to turn MIDI clock on/off.

  2. Digitakt MIDI channel 1 to program, sequence MIDI A on 0-coast.

  3. Digitakt MIDI channel 2 to program different sequence MIDI B on 0-coast (which will send CV and Gate to quantiser into eurorack VCO).

In theory this should all be possible. Can I do this by connecting a single MIDI cable from Digitakt MIDI out to 0-coast MIDI in? My Digitakt is currently on its way to Elektron for a screen change (I had a finger print underneath the screen from assembly) so can’t test at the moment.

Yep, this all works as described. :slight_smile:

Unlike my MPC the Digitakt sends constant clock via MIDI, not just on playback, which is a godsend! There is a little stutter in the clock out signal when you press play which I am assuming is normal so that the CV clock and MIDI sync up.

Yay! That is awesome.

That saves a lot of money on eurorack modules which will mostly likely still be spent on other eurorack modules haha!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier to use the 0-coast as a “middleman” from Digitakt to eurorack and add the fact that Digitakt can independently sequence 8 sample tracks at the same time…pretty powerful indeed.

Indeed! :slight_smile:

I use two midi tracks per 0-coast midi channel so I can add variations to existing sequences but nothing to stop you using 4 midi tracks per 0-coast channel!
