Don’t want to waste anyone’s time here but this is a long thread so apologies if this has already been covered BUT - Func & Sound browser = +Drive Has No Sounds message every time. In fact whenever I try and access the +drive from anywhere it just says it’s empty. I’ve sampled stuff but that’s nowhere to be found and I’ve transferred samples from my mac using C6 “The samples will automatically be transferred to a default directory (if no other is set) “transfers-yymmdd” that is created in the +Drive storage of the Digitakt” says the manual - this doesn’t exist, where are they? Import/ manage sounds just brings up A:001 /////////////////// etc. Either I’m being stoopid or this just ain’t right.
If you press func+ src followed by func+yes and then keep the func held whilst scrolling, do you still not see anything?.
Func + SRC brings up the 8 Digit sounds; if I keep scrolling using the Level/ Data knob it just reverts to the +Drive Has No Sounds screen.
Did you follow that by pressing func+yes and then hold func whilst using the arrows to navigate. I couldnt fing anything untill I did.

Remember, there is a difference between Sounds and Samples.
A Sample is the actual waveform, a Sound is a collection of all the parameters and Sample of what you customized.
You can create your own Sounds by loading a Sample and tweaking it to taste and then hit [FUNC] + Pattern(Imp/Exp).
Export Sound and select a slot. This Sound is now stored in the +Drive that keep whining about being empty.
Add some tags for easy access later.
So the +Drive has no Sounds by default, but the +Drive does have Samples.

Today’s DT-boot suddenly shows in- and out port (Digitakt in1, Digitakt out1), but I think there is a kind of ‘crossover’ because Cubase offers the out-port instead of an expected in - i.e. midi-clock target.
Are the +Drive-Samples in 1.02 still missing or do I miss something?
Edit: no crossover, seems normal this in/out crossing, didn’t realize it yet
Edit2: Hooked the DT to an ESI Midi-USB-device, turned off USB-Input so it runs over MIDI only. For safety I disconnected USB. The result is a quite stable DT. Whereas it chrashes at once on a simple Start-Stop via USB it accepts these commands now, I got 3 Midi-channels running including some CC’s.
The DT doesn’t like the slightest change in DAW-setting, i.e. changing a MIDI-channel on an instrument track while it’s running - this freezes the box once the new channel is on.
AHHHHH, scroll left and right with fun held down is yielding results. Cheers

Thanks man, getting it now. All good and have to say in the last 10 minutes I’ve figured a few things out I thought were bugs but are actually just quirks. Happy customer.

Samples and Sounds are not the same thing. You can view your samples using the sample manager. You need to export sounds from a pattern to make them available as sounds to be used in other kits / patterns. Samples you transfer should end up in the “incoming folder”
right now the most stable setup is had by having the dt sent out no midi notes at all. i played with mine as part of a live set for hours last night while it was slaved. no crashes.

it can be clocked but there is a bug right now in 1.02 that it can’t send midi notes while clocked. if it’s master it’s apparently fine.
found a bug:
when in the Global Mutes Track16/MidiH is muted the Mutes are not stored when powering the machine down and up again - in that case in comes up with all tracks unmuted
bug is reported
Is this pattern mute as well? Do we know if global mutes are supposed to be saved?
the globals mutes a restored nicely (as on all other Elektron machines) - unless Track 16 is muted too
the pattern mutes are not affected , they are working as expected
A little reminder, official bug reporting is to support, it seems they are also checking here too whilst there is a lot of reporting happening, so try to keep the thread limited to bug reports or discussions of previous reports
the more general discussion about stuff just makes this potentially useful thread harder to plough through … and nobody wants to hamper the progress … I’ve just moved scores of posts which had drifted off-topic … that also makes establishing if an issue had been listed before that bit trickier to the casual browser as well as making it harder for 
to spot bug posts

That’s very helpful. I’ve been having a difficult time navigating samples.
Hey.
Don’t know if it’s a bug (but it’s kinda strange). Don’t know if this has been reported either.
Well, anyway, when you Shift + Export, you got the Export/Import sound menu.
You can exit by pressing any other key, like the Source menu or Amp.
Then, if you try to press the Export/Import button but without the Shift, you get the Import/Export menu, while you expect the Pattern Menu (as you don’t press Shift in the same time).
Tried to search the manual, couldn’t find anything about it. I thought it was a bug. Dunno.
Something else I wanted to talk about, too: when you browse the +Drive for sounds, if you’re in Chromatic Mode, you can actually play these sounds. The thing is: it takes the current parameters of the reverb. So, if you try a sound which has a lot of reverb send, and if the decay of the reverb on the current pattern is quite high, it will keep sounding, even if you try another sample. Is there a way to just stop the reverb while you browse, or simply disable the reverb when you try the stored sounds on the fly? Cause there’s no way to stop it afterwards, and it’s a problem if you try to get the right sound.
Don’t know if I’m clear, please tell me.
Hey,
I can confirm the first bug.
Press Pattern, Enters pattern menu.
Press No or SRC, exit pattern menu.
Press Func + Pattern/importExport, Enter Sounds Menu.
Press No or SRC exit Sounds menu.
Press Pattern(No Func), Enter Sounds menu. <- unexpected. Expected Patterns menu.
Press No to exit Sounds Menu and enter pattern menu
As for the second item, if you double-tap the stop button, it cuts off all sounds.
