Time Stretch
To stretch the time on the Digitakt, I use the reverse and forward play. It’s a bit tricky and don’t work on every sound, but for long notes or pads it’s work well.
Situation : You have a good sample, nicely tuned to catch this vibes you want. You set the trig but the sound end too early before the next note. You have to make it playing longer.
- First, set the TRIG Lenght to the corresponding lenght you want, and adjust AMP enveloppe to make sure it will play enough time.
- Then, identify a good point on you sample where the waveforrm is constant with same volume without a peak (basically the middle of a pad or a long lead).
- Then press play and watch on the SRC waveform page on which trig this point is reached.
- Press FUNC+ this trig you find to create a yellow trig (trigless trig). On this trigless trig, PLock the sample play mode to REVerse.
- Add other trigless trig later on the sequencer before the sound reach a peak, and plock it to sample play mode FWD.
- Adjust theses yellow trig with microtiming to have a nice stretch sound.
You can alternate one and other to make the sound during looooooooong time.
