Hey mark,
Do you think elk-herd could be able to support Digitone 2 in the future?
Since i have DN2 next to my DT2 i realize how much i miss having elk-herd in my workflow:(
It’s possible. And probably not all that complex with the changes I made to elk-herd support DT II.
But, I don’t have a Digitone II, and I’d need some time to work with it to understand how the support would work.

I’m trying to merge some projects together and I’m getting a “1 more than will fit” message even though I have a TON of room in the project I’m trying to transfer to.
I’m following these instructions, and I assume I’m supposed to load the project I want to copy to first, then fetch it, then load the project from which I want to copy, then click import. I also tried to save the project from which I’m copying to my computer, then import from there, but I’m also getting the same error.
I’m also having an issue with Firefox hanging up on a sample folder, whereas Chrome is reading everything fine.
Did you read the info about Firefox timeout stuff further up the thread ?

Yup. Didn’t work for me, unfortunately.
- Your order of operations is correct.
- It makes no difference if the project you start with (that will received the imported patterns) is on your Digitakt (Fetch Project) or on your computer (Open File).
- It also makes no difference if the project you are importing from is on your instrument (Import Project), or on your computer (Import File).
Now - if when you load the project that will receive the imported patterns, there are patterns shown as “UNTITLED” - that is your problem. Seems that with some projects, especially those that were from the original Digitakt and ported to the Digitakt II, that some empty patterns don’t seem to elk-herd as actually empty. A fix went out in elk-herd 3.3.2 for this, but perhaps you have a different project that still has this issue. (if so, I’d greatly appreciate if you could save the project via Transfer, and send it to me in a private message.)
The remedy is simple: After you load the receiving project, before you click Import, select the “UNTITLED” patterns, and delete them with the x button to the top right of the pattern area. Now you should have enough space to import.

You don’t say which OS you are running Firefox on.
This is important Firefox has a different MIDI implementation on each of Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
Let me know the OS type and version… so I can understand more.

hello everybody, nice software but i 'm essentially on digitone/digitone 2 , someone knows a software that basically does the same things ’ apart from samples of course) ???
Nothing for digitone / digitone 2
And before you ask I don’t think the author of elkherd has either so it’s hard for him to give it a go.
Just scroll up a few posts or

There is this, https://www.elektronauts.com/t/func-saveproj-dn-pattern-manager-for-digitone/209741but only working in macOS, and i guess with older versions of DN1.
And maybe is not free.
I dont have it, but i have the funcsaveproject for dt1, which was only available for linux. Actually a similar project to elkherd but with songmode organizer and works great too.
Hi there
Thanks for this super tool, anyway, when I send my new project I’ve managed in elk herd, everything is working fine, except that on some banks, all the patterns are not imported, when I press PTN, only a few ones are lit, for the other, they are empty, if someone have the same issue or solution, It will be great
Thanks for all
I resolved the issue, I have 2 mac, from 2016, monterey and big sur, tried with my son’s pc windows 10 and it work great
This is a known issue with Mac OS 13 (Ventura) and Mac OS 14 (Sonoma), and possibly earlier.
I have traced and confirmed with the help of hardware analyizers that the bug is in Apple’s USB-MIDI driver, and affects SysEx messages over approx. 60k (like Digitakt II uses) sent from computer to a USB connected MIDI device. I have also confirmed that this bug is fixed in Mac OS 15 (Sequoia).
Insiders at Apple have assured me that there is no way they will ever fix this bug in the older OSes, even though it is probably a fairly simple fix (we have traced it down to exactly a small part of the code!).
SO - if you can upgrade to Sequoia and have been holding off… now you have your incentive.
If you can’t upgrade, then turns out sending the project multiple times will… eventually… get all the patterns there… but I understand this is tedious.
P.S., For the intrepid: You can install newer Mac OS versions on older Mac hardware that Apple doesn’t officially support via OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It’s not the easiest thing to get going, and your old HW should have enough RAM and disk to support the newer OS… but it does work. I’ve used it to keep a 2010 MacBook Air still current!

Hello everyone,
I’m a Digitakt 1 user. I also use Elk-herd to help me manage my unused samples in my projects in order to delete them and clear some space.
On the project page, (after I fetched my project), when I click on the “select unused” icon, it selects some samples as if they were unused but I know some of them are used with p-locks. Elk-herd’s selection is only based on the samples selected on the source page of each track, not the samples used with p-locks.
I’m pretty sure few months ago Elk-herd could tell if a sample was used with p-locked.
Am I remembering it wrong or am I doing something wrong? Is it beacause of the updates for DT2?
If anyone could help I would be really gratefull.
Sorry for my english, if it’s not clear please tell me, I will try to explain it better.
Thank’s, have a good one!
