Digitakt vs. Octatrack

[nirun]

there’s a thread where someone noticed a high freq bump in DT’s sample playback engine. This was a while ago so not sure if it’s changed.

Anyone else feels a natural bump in the high frequencies from the Digitakt?

tl;dr: Yup, the DT playback isn’t flat. But it is only a very subtle (≤1db) bump at 5kHz, and a more pronounced roll off above 12.5kHz. I did some white noise spectrum analysis: I generated a 30s white noise file. Here’s a spectrum analysis of it: [orig spectrum] Then just to calibrate my set up, I played that out my audio interface and recorded it back in: [loop spectrum] These are flat well within a db, so we can assume the set up is good. Now I transferred the same white noise file t…
