hello there guys …
I got my hands on a Digitakt recently and it says on the Elektron website that this device comes with 400+ factory sounds but when I go to "Manage sounds’ ’ - i have only 64 sounds on Bank "A"and that’s it…
maybe it is the only sounds that are loaded to the project, i don’t know… (?)
Am i doing something wrong here?? how can i get on to the rest of the sounds? or what can i do to get does 400+ factory sounds in my machine
best regards
The rest of the samples are on the Drive+, they’re just not linked in that project. See section 15.2 in the manual. (Also note the distinction between samples and sounds, made clear at the beginning of chapter 9.)
thank you for your awnser… but that action will only load the samples to my sound pull that actually and only care 128 sound"
i want to have access and be able to choose from as many sound i can from my +drive. when i go browse sound (func+data knob) i only shows 64 sounds on the Bank’" A the rest is empty …
is there a way i can preview these sounds from factory in order the load them to the track i desire ??
or how an i save sounds from factory sounds to to my +drive ??
many thank,
My Digitakt was packed away for an upcoming flight but I fished it out to confirm what I am about to tell you.
Press the gear button (Settings) and select Samples, then Factory. There are three folders, Drums, Synths, Toolbox. For illustration, select Synths and then Stabs & Pads. Navigate down to one (say Alchemistic) and press FUNC + YES and hold them. You should hear the sample. Go right for the option to Load to Proj[ect]. But don’t do this if you want to keep previewing other samples. You can preview all you like and then just NO all the way out and nothing will be changed.
Still this does not bring the ¨400+ factory sounds¨. Only 128 or so. Where are all the rest to get to 400?
I’m not going to go through and count but there’s something like 86 single cycle waveform samples in that toolbox folder which they’re likely including in their number.
I’ve never focused too much on how many factory samples there are so I can’t really say for sure but I think that there are more than 42 which is the number of samples there would be remaining in your estimation of 128 without counting the single cycles.
If you don’t have enough factory content there’s a bunch of free high quality samples that you can download in the link below. It’s just a random site that I found as a result of a youtube video and shared here a while back and having downloaded some myself I can say it’s legit and I was not charged. Just look for the packs marked down to free, I think that the selection rotates as to what is free and what is pay content.
If you still feel that you’re missing factory samples and you want those you’ll need to contact elektron, we’re just users, we don’t work for elektron. Some things people can help you with, others they cannot. This is one of them.
I’d look through all the folders on the +Drive and make sure though because 86 single cycle waveforms is a lot to miss if you’re exploring. You may not consider those samples but if you learn how to use them I guarantee that you will start to consider them useful.
