This is fantastic! It’s one thing to explore and figure things out on your own, but sometimes you need to see tips from someone else to make the next breakthrough. Thanks, I learned a lot! Oh wow that 808 bassline, so cool!

Late to the game, just bought a Digitakt. Great video!

Same position here! Great video, watched a few hours ago

Awesome video!

to expand on that concept, you could also change the pitch on certain beats .

True, yesterday I was messing around with pitch + retrig combo and it’s an insane jungle break-maker.

I recommend to experiment with other breaks, like “make your own break > resample > chop & mess!”.
It’s a nice workflow for jungle/d&b, love it.

Can pitch changes be triggered by certain conditions? Like if I wanted a certain part of the break to pitch up 5 semitones 50% of the hits?

yes, there are many ways to do this depending on your situation.
For example if you have empty triggers you can use a trigless trig (func + trig) with pitch p-locked and a condition next to trig you want to change, or using loopback hack to send midi messages to break-track if it’s full, etc. There are more ways of course, so you just need to find yours.

Im not sure if digitakt supports triggles locks like the octatrack does…

Digitakt definitely supports trigless locks. (func + trig). They light up yellow. You can also see them in realtime recording of know turns.
