Now it just needs a crossfader

I was referring to the new slice feature and that it allows using sample chains. We could use them before by manually plocking sample start but now it’s peanuts to use OctaChainer or a similar tool to generate a sample and have all the slices line up perfectly.

So, should I hot swap my OT & go back to the DT???

This latest rev of the DT gives me hope that Elektron should really get off their butt and get us a significant rev for the OT. Enough with the excuses that the code is old and mystical. There are people with music software experience out there. Enough with the excuses. As well, can the videos on DT Rev 1.5 stop the “who needs the OT any more”

Let’s hope that by porting Slices over to the DT, an OT MK3 is just around the corner, with Machines, synths, overbridge, improved effects, and the central Hub for your Elektron workflow with no Desktop needed.
Let’s hope

this is one missing feature that was making it kind of useless for me as a sort of 2nd octatrack to add more loops to my “live” tracks. now that i can record tighter loops and keep them in time, im hoping it will be a lot more handy as 8 extra free flex tracks for multitrack looping
also, i’ve owned like 6 digitones. im sure another dt wouldnt hurt

I agree. I’ve got both the DT and the OT, and had actually bought my OT primarily because the DT was missing the features we’ve just seen added today. I thought “Oh shit! I guess I can sell my OT now, right?” Nope! The slice feature just opened up multiple tracks on my OT. I think it’s given me the peace I needed to concentrate more on OT’s live sampling, effects and scenes.
And speaking of slices and the Octatrack, the program Octachainer: (found here: OctaChainer v1.3 – Tic Tic ) will allow you to create sample chain files consisting of evenly spaced slices per sample, allowing you to use them essentially as kits themselves in the slice machine, as long as the slices are numbered in accordance with the grid size.
This update has pushed me to consider using OT’s MIDI tracks to control things occurring in the DT’s audio tracks, and I’ll have to do further research to see how that can be implemented. I think these two machines are going to be sampling eachother in a back and forth kind of way going forward. Hodl those OTs people, hopefully Elektron isn’t done with them.
Edit: also, I hope all of these disgruntled Rytm people get what they deserve as far as updates, I’m feeling their pain, I almost traded my DT for one 2 weeks ago thank God I didn’t!

Yes I tried it out today and you can queue up a fill with YES+PAGE while in grid recording.

Late to the party, but WOW. Just WOW!
For a while now, I’ve been doing funky, manual workarounds for some of this stuff like slicing and stretching.
So today I started playing around with the new machines and am getting better, more creative results much more quickly. Just setting up a stretched or shifted loop is a breeze now, and it took me no time at all to find some sweet spots where I can get weird and glitchy in one direction, but also get reasonable long-form beat-matched loops that scale up and down in time/pitch with minimal artifacts. I like what layering loops with one-shot sequenced material can give me but setting up all those old workarounds and the weird trigger things you have to do, PLUS chewing up LFOs … well, it’s a pain. Now with 1.50, it’s the easiest thing in the world.
And the slicing is seriously fun here, pretty intuitive, and something I’m very likely to use as a live mangling tool.
With the recent arranger mode, these new machines and updated sampling, the DT is the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks to the team at Elektron for constantly surprising me in amazing ways. I’m SO glad I got aboard this Elektron train years ago. I loved the products for what they did when I bought them, but Elektron just keeps giving the love in return.

Has anyone tried yet if ElkHerd is working with OS 1.50?

I think with their added paradigm of machines they could easily create a stereo machine that eats up two audio slots upon activation.

I noticed that too, here they are flooding the used market…
@Topic:
Well done, Elektron, thats a great update!
My thought exactly. With that addition, I’d buy a DT a third time and never sell it again.

At least with polyphony and proper note length recording while respecting the Amp envelope.

after messing around with the update a bit, yeah I think people who are saying this is an OT replacement are reaaally jumping the gun. it’s still a great update and I’m particularly excited about SRR, but for the most part none of these machines are things you couldn’t do with p locks or LFOs, I guess except the repitch mode? they’re pretty basic implementations of each concept but they’re still worthwhile for sure.
