DIGITAKT not connecting to computer

3 hours to transfer 200kb. Sadly I am old enough to remember when this was a thing in 1992.

Surprised there is this much issue with transfer still. I’ve no issues with it transferring large amount of samples and it does it relatively quickly.

For the people who have upgraded to 1.10 on the dt. This automatically sets the dt to overbridge mode I believe. If you go into system there should be option to switch between usb and overbridge mode. Transfer application won’t work if you are in overbridge mode.

Mine limped from 1.07 to 1.10 but still (showing as USB mode) not transferring. Mine didn’t default to overbridge mode btw.

My transfer is not great at connecting. Plugging in the usb lead and turning on the laptop before switching on Digitakt helped last time I had a problem.

I’m also having problems with this, I scrolled through all the work arounds and fixes but none of them have worked for me. Hopefully we get a more consistent overbridge soon it looks fun.

Same problem here too. I´ve posted this as a support request, but they said everything schould work fine.
Sometimes it works like a charm, most times it does nothing.
I came all the updates since fw 1.04 and exchanged one Digitakt. Still the same.
No one is able to try Overbridge withot updating the firmware.
Argggggghhhhhhhhh…

Same issue, win10 and MacOS. Flaky transfer connection and intermittent OB, loses connection randomly. Talked to support, and the ended up sending unit back for repair. Going on week 4 tech support just starting to look at it. My Digitone was over 2 months to get back. Miss my Takt!! On the plus side it’s given me time to delve into the DN, really digging that machine. So much fun to sound design on!

I doubt the exchange or repair won´t help like with my unit. But hopefully this works for you.
Some units seem to work as written in this thread.
Sad, such a wonderful machine (except no pitch or mod from external keboards, only 4 bars…). I love it.
But it seems to be non stable at all.

I’ll let you know in a couple of months :-/

Manage to update from 1.1.0 to the beta release. Only thing that worked for me was sysex transfer via normal midi cables. Using my soundcard as midi in/out device. Elektron seems to have issues with the usb midi drivers on windows. Guess that’s why it’s in beta.

Anyone with macOS having this problem? My mac cannot find digitakt as a usb midi device even it’s set to USB MIDI Only. :frowning:

I’m having the same issue. I’m on 1.11 Beta6 Mac OS 10.14.3 and it seemed to be working a couple days ago, but now it isn’t. Done both a PR reset and SMC rest on the Mac. I’ve also reinstalled OB. It’s not connecting with any cable in the Audio-Midi Setup. need halp.

hey, did anyone figure this out? this too happened to me randomly today. DT appears on overbridge, as a soundcard etc, but no MIDI device at all. Once I disable OB in the system MIDI is enabled. I was hoping both functionalities would work in tandem as before.

For me it fixed itself by instaling newest version of OB

I have the same issue… Sadly OB doesn’t work for me because I can’t select DT as audio interface.

sooo I upgraded to the newst OS and newest OB … I was able to connect my digitakt and is steaming audio on the 12 channels as supposed … but one thing here … if I stream the channels individually then I loose the effects ??? I mean if I onlt use main outs (1 and 2) I can hear the effects from DT but if I sent the sounds to individual channels (the only reason why I want OV installed) it wont go though the effects routing anymore??? please tell me I am doing something wrong!

Thats Normal operation. The effects will only work on the master channel over usb.

hmmm ok … so routing may be my only way out to hear the effects from DT?
I am routing 1 and 2 to main and the rest send to FX so I only hear the wet on the main and the dry on the individual channels … it makes the trick but no want I wanted … :frowning:

Best thing to do is to use digitakts effects for sketching.

Then when you want to record bounce the individual tracks into your daw and replicate the effects in the box.

Dt effects are good, but i can do much better with what i have in my daw

I got my DT yesterday and I’m having trouble connecting it via USB to any of the provided resource apps on my Macbook pro.

In Audio MIDI setup the box for the DT is grayed out as if it is not connected, anyone body know why?

Im also having trouble updating the firmware to the new beta version to use the new OB, C6 won’t recognize USB and update via midi doesn’t seem to work.

any help with this would be greatly appreciated
