Elk-Herd 3.1 beta for Digitakt OS 1.40

if you save your projects with os 1.5, you cannot open it with the downgrade. :frowning_face:
I don’t understand why elektron still hasn’t changed its sample handling.
I have to prepare a live, exchange banks between projects, without a herd of moose, it becomes very time-consuming. :sob:
Sometimes, this makes me consider other stuf… :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::

I see, makes sense.
Really it all comes down to Elektron implementing it in a software.

Just got a Digitakt, what is this Elk-Herd you speak of?

#86

Beware don’t update to firmware 1.5 or you cant use elkherd, this sucks for moving a track from one project to another and things like renaming the patterns easily and sample management lol

#87

Interesting. I want to Digitakt to be a sample playback machine primarily. The OT handles complicated sampling. I’ve always hated the Elektron sample file system but since becoming used to the ST the workflow of buttons etc has become easier.

What does Elk Herd give that would benefit?

#88

see the first post in this thread for that, I don’t know how to share that here

#89

That’s a good point, I’ve sent out one to Elektron myself too.

#90

Does anyone know if this wonderful project will ever support 1.5?

@mzero

Is there anything we as community can do to support you to work on this?

@mzero Hello Mark, I’ve been using your manager since I knew about it 2 years ago. It saved me a lot of time and nerves. Thank you so much for coming up with this one, it’s truly legendary!

I’m in contact with a community of Digi users. If there’s anything we can support you with for the 1.5 OS update please, let me know.

In solidarity with @prydal

Well said!

Here you can buy mzero a beer as a thankyou for the work & gift he has been giving us through his elk-herd software:

Thank you @mzero and may life give you all the good you deserve & need.

Maybe he needs privacy, space or patience too … I’m sure he can and would contribute to this discussion when and if he is minded to, in his own time. This pressure and expectation created by such ventures (no matter how well intentioned they seem to you) may not be landing as such.

What must be abundantly clear is that this isn’t a sleeper hit needing resuscitation, i’m fairly sure the author is aware of its utility to many and you must also be aware of your responsibility to respect somebody’s space.

You have voiced a thought, now i have voiced mine … i’d urge others to take a couple of perspectives into view before jumping on the bandwagon and escalating this.

This all makes me feel decidedly uncomfortable, i can’t speak for anyone else including Mark. So please temper your enthusiasm with a second potential perspective.

PS (@_anyone_inclined) - for the avoidance of further doubts - any links to misguided petitions on this will be removed. This is not the way.

I’m having trouble fetching project. it hangs on the load screen. am i doing anything wrong?

Hey, there is a new SDK available for AnalogRytm, basically makes it possible to create custom programs for it.

I asked if something like this would be possible for digitakt, this is the awnser:

I’m sure it is possible. Since I don’t own a digitakt probably I won’t do it but my code is open sourced with MIT license so if any other developer should adopt techniques from it or reuse part of the techniques there they’re open to do so.

If in the future, Elektron decides to document and expose their sysex format I think the developer community and 3rd party apps will flourish and you’ll have more choices.

But unfortunately now without documentation the entry barrier is a little high since it requires reverse engineering.
