Does DN2 record midi “well”?

I know it’s got the new fancy note edit screen, but does it record MIDI accurately? I.e. different note lengths, velocities etc per step? Thanks :pray:t2:

…sure it does…

dunno the xact micro finetunestep resolution of the elektron stepsequencer, but it’s something like 128 “ministeps” in a microgrid between each single main trig step…

so whatever u do totally unquantized can wiggle and wobble and wonky tonky to shake ur cake and stumble along quite a lot beyond all absolute tightness of total quantization…

i always tended more to just quantize and never felt any lack of individual expressiveness apart from some single trigs here and there from time to time to be nudged a little to push or pull some groove expression/impression…
and velocity gravity is like anywhere else…128 levels to choose from…while individual note length is just any length u like to play and have it of course…

The MIDI clock resolution is 96 ppqn so you get a maximum of 24 ticks per step. That’s why you can microtome trigs 23/24ths either way

Cheers guys. I sometimes come up with an idea elsewhere (Bitwig’s Stepwise for example) but want it in my machines for development. DT2 can do it most of the time but obviously has limitations. I was considering an Oxi One but the idea of getting more sequencing power AND loads more synth power is appealing.

@avantronica Why is the micro time dialog graduated in 1/384 (at least on Syntakt :slightly_smiling_face:)?
What does 384 mean? The total number of micro time steps in a bar (16 * 24 = 384)?

I think so
