Digitakt - move through sample in 16ths?

[TheGoodDr]

Evening All,

So I’m aware of the following, any sample loaded into the Digitakt has a length of 120. So, for arguments sake if I load a 4 bar loop (64 steps) this means a 16th note is 1.875 in length.

Is it possible, or a button combination to scroll through the sample in 16th increments? Eg - 0-1.875-3.75-5.625-7.5 etc - so making drum break chopping easier after something has the start times quantised and imported?

I’m away from my Digitakt @ mo - and just thinking about workflow stuff, so feel free to shout RTFM if it’s already a thing.

If not, it would be very, very useful to have the start time be able to automatically ‘skip’ through the loop according to the setting…hope that makes sense.

Cheers,

-TGD

unfortunately not. it still baffles me why they decided to use 120 instead of 128.

Sample start/end has 120 steps?

Hi, with n slices there are n+1 positions (slice boundaries) where playback can start and stop. So if the knob had a range of 0 to 127 you would be able to select 128 positions and that would give you 127 slices. You would not be able to select any perfect divisions because 127 is a prime. To get 128 slices the knob would need to range from 0 to 128 (have 129 values) and thus break the MIDI 7-bit convention which allows only 128 values for a parameter. With a range of 0 to 120 you have 121 pos…

Thanks, bangs head on desk - would be a nice feature - something for the request thread? Guess I’ll print out an excel table for 8ths and 16ths - and carry that around in my note-book. Keeping it old-school.
