I’ve had the same with the internal sequencer. A track just forgets to play until you give it a nudge.
good, I’m not nuts. I sent a ticket a few hours ago.

Yes it works with program changes and without freezes. Rytm is Master clock and Digitakt send the change messages.
Tried it this morning, with each track assigned to its own channel. No crashes. I think you’re on to something.

I’ve seen the same with internal sequencer only. Sometimes a track just needs a prod to get going again as you describe, when it goes inexplicably silent.
I went the entire weekend, 6-7 hours of use, with no MIDI related crashes. Previously, I was getting a crash at least twice per hour if not more using channels 1-3 on 3-5 tracks. The only thing I was doing differently this time was NOT using channel 1. Used only channels 2 and 3, so I had 1 less channel, but the same track count basically. DT has master, DIN MIDI to a quadra thru box, no MIDI coming in at all in either scenario.

Any tracks using the same channel? Or each track having its own unique channel?
I did have 2 sets of 2 tracks using the same channel for a lot of the time.
Any word on when this update will be ready? The freezing during sample transfer is very frustrating…

I was using 4 tracks on channel 5, no crash at all either : channel 1 might be haunted

Really starting to think that!
So much of my reasoning to buy was the midi sequencing and OB functionality, so of course it is frustrating not to have that ability integrated right away. I used it in standalone following along with tutorials and it was fine, so much fun and 0 freezes. I won’t hyperventilate about it but I do hope the fixes to make it 100% come soon, this being my first Elektron device (I know I’m not the only one) I really want it to deliver.

hmm, i need to test this.
in all of my previous experiments with using midi, i was both using channel 1 and slaving the DT.
clock, or CCs from an LFO

Hey guys, new Digitakt user here, received it two days ago with 1,02 firmware already installed so it was straight off the new batch. Spent all day with it yesterday learning, all went without glitches, no problems at all until i made a crazy patch that included usb transferred samples. Total freeze, playing the loop still but unresponsive to start stop or any button press or dial turn. Had to restart from the button. It kind of seemed to stop after I disconnected the usb cable, but not sure if that was the problem. Also, when live sampling sometimes the audio drops out or gets recorded with digital clicks and pops. Amazing machine otherwise, hope for an update soon. Have not started a support ticket yet
Hi Andrei - welcome to the Forum. Yes, the Digitakt is still unstable at the moment, especially when MIDI gets involved (although it seems much more stable when the Digitakt is a master not a slave). As a longtime Elektron owner, I can tell you that they are working on another OS update to fix these bugs. I hope it comes out very soon! Everyone here is very friendly so I’m sure your experience here will be a good one.

I have a very odd midi issue. After giving up trying to get my fa 06 midi slaved I tried with the jd xi instead, it sort of worked but after a while all the audio tracks started playing up and I ended up with all 16 tracks playing the roland sound. I gave up and moved on but more worryingly when I went through the jd looking for something to sample I discovered a pattern that had the automation of fx removed, this should be impossible without recording over and resaving the patch which I am 100% sure didnt happen, pretty pissed as it wasnt something that I can replicate. So not only does midi seem to be out of the question for my gear but trying to use it corrupts the work I have allready done.
After an initially smooth (ish) run I’ve now had freezes on both midi sequencing and sample trim. The midi hang up came as soon as multiple CCs were involved (master --> Minilogue), and just now I had a freeze after trimming a 32-second long sample.
Do I even bother submitting a ticket given these are both known issues? Like, for the sake of documenting it in case there are further issues that aren’t fixed with firmware?
All that said, still absolutely loving this box.
definitely submit them, the more submissions the more incentive elektron has to release an update.
