Digitakt OS 1.50

Exactly, have a block of sound and use the DT envelope to shape it.

I want chord single cycle waveforms as well so I can really go to town with tiny files.

The deeper implications of the new machines keep revealing themselves. What an update.

The more I think about this, it’d be even cooler to load up your favorite 64 samples of a type (kick or snare, etc) evenly space them in a daw – export it, and then you have a “kick” bank – rather than messing with sample slots, you can just p-lock slices per step, with the added benefit of the randomize slice function.

That’s your round robin right there, isn’t it @Jeanne? Sorry if this was already mentioned.

[dshipp]

This is such a good idea. I’d love to get my hands on that sample.

[lowph]

Yeah, @Claid, where did you get that sample chain?

I made it of course.

Will add a link on here once I get back on my laptop.

Model D Oscillators.

It’s funny because the audio file sounds like a second of garbage but when looped, sliced into 64 and run through the DT’s amp and filter it all makes sense.

Edit: Also added the free Goldbaby Tape 808 and Tape 606 as 16-slice and 8-slice chains:

Hi! Not sure, haven’t updated yet. I watched Ricky Tinez’ video and it looks like it could be:

2:00ff.

I’ll check it out as soon as I can. If it requires p-locking per step, then no

That’s so generous! Thanks!

[Claid]

You’re welcome, I’ve added to the previous post.

I’ve also made Goldbaby’s free Tape 808 and Tape 606 into 16 slice and 8 slice chains respectively. I made them short and punchy to make them as short as possible (no long 808 bassdrums I’m afraid) and ran them through Oeksound Soothe 2 to remove harsh resonance peaks. I’ve also added those to my previous post.

Yep, Create Linear Locks will step through a sample chain without regard to distance between steps, works great.

[warpigs330]

You can create the p locks automatically, but each step on the sequencer will play the slice associated with it, so it’s not quite like round robin where you could have an odd number of samples and have them rotate for each trig.

[JPM]

Thats what LFO on the slice parameter is for

[Jeanne]

Hey, I just checked. No, it’s nothing new, just a quicker way for some of the workarounds. No real round robin.

Still, amazing update! In future, I’ll indeed put my multisamples into one sample and use the slice function, since it’s just neater.

[ZiekeFons]

A samplechain always works no matter what bpm you use when slicing? As long as its in grid?

[sasquatchfuzz]

Had the same exact issue on Ventura 13.2.1. Updated Transfer, Overbridge, and rebooted the machine and the issue resolved itself.

[videomusik]

I got so excited about this release exactly for the prospect of getting round robin capability.
Would it be possible to get approximate round robin capability using LFO to slice selection?

[Humanprogram]

Round robin works with the Create Linear Locks function: If you set up a sample chain to work with slice mode (a multiple of 4, evenly split), then you can enter your sequence, then press YES from the SYN page and tap Create Linear Locks. This makes every trig, regardless of the space between them, step through the sample chain in order.

Depending on how particular you are about it, you can account for retrigs, conditional trigs, and sequence restarting by using 2 LFOs: 1 LFO to sample slot or slice: that one, set to saw, free running, at speed zero, depth half of your chain length. The second LFO set to LFO1 speed, at half square, so it nudges the first LFO along, then stops it so it waits for the next step . It takes trial and error to get the speeds right., but it’s easy enough to err on the side of skipping a slice here and there.

[mrbenjamin]

100 percent! Did the same thing myself today. I’ve done a little bit of DNB production on the DT but it has always a little slow and tedious. This removes a ton of barriers when working with loops. So many new super powers to play with. This will be a huge boost for old school jungle production with the Akai style time stretching and loop pitching while staying in time. Fun for days.

[videomusik]

I am aware of the Linear/Random lock approach, which got me stoked initially.
For my particular use case I’m as likely to trigger it from external sequencers as the inbuilt one, so your second approach looks like the way forward.
Reading the manual I’m anticipating a single LFO to Slice, set the random and Hold (instead of free running) might do the trick. Might need some fiddling with the depth.
I think these approaches are all workarounds as @Jeanne mentioned. It would be great to have an actual round robin functionality built in, perhaps as the last option under the slice selection parameter, so you choose between {NOTE, 1, 2, 3, …, ROBIN} , or something like that

this is so awesome thank you so much
