The tags are stored as individual bits 0 off , 1 on - using a couple of bytes - there’s no stored text, the firmware is translating the bits to text
it wouldn’t be elegant if there were 20 patches loaded from various sources with different user names if you think about it and how to filter etc
having said all that - if there was a way for a user to correct the translation of e.g. FAIL into something useful it would be nice, but i do not see this happening
Anyway, It could be worse …
master perform effects a la scenes. it’s like that finger plugin from NI back in the day
Overdub recording mode for notes.
The Model’s MIDI mode: sends note, velocity and retrigs without killing the internal sound engine.
In song mode, if you cue a row then press stop and start it should play from the cued row. Currently you have to press stop, cue the row, then press play. Which is awkward to do when performing, or just trying to quickly test a different row.
Not sure if any Elektron machine has ever implemented that but I’ve always felt that it would be really cool if you could have more than 1 trig per trig.
You’d select a trig, enter High Resolution Mode, and now the 16 steps of the track would represent the innards of a trig at 1/16th of the time between two trigs (even better if we can go up to 64 or 128 divisions, but 16 would already be dope). There, you could enter more trigs. It could replace or complement the Retrig mode (and the Retrig could eventually be visible in High Resolution Mode).
My music often contains long notes that end up bliping in an explosion of notes, and with the current sequencer it’s hard to blip more than 3 notes at a time, with microtiming, and at the expense of 2 good steps (that you often only want to microtime on a 4:4 trig condition).
More notes please!
This is in Digitone 2 and it’s amazing!
It’s called Note Edit mode, per trig it gives you up to 16 notes, each with their own velocity, length, and microtiming.
Though you can’t have multiple of the same note in the same trig without using retrigger.
No way? That’s a must have! It kinda changes the whole deal… Fuuuuck… I was downsiziiiing.
But why can’t you have the same note twice ? Can’t do something like EGEGEG?
Per step you can use the keyboard to toggle notes on and off, so there’s no way to add multiple of the same note in the same step. That’s just the way it’s designed I guess. But works well for polyphonic stuff. Less for high resolution rhythmic stuff, but with 128 steps per pattern you could set the resolution to 2x and get detailed.
OK it’s a little less OP than what I had in mind but you can still put some more notes per step as long as they’re different so that’s a win!
Is retrig implemented on the DN2? I thought the retrig feature was reserved to rythmic synths (AR, DT). I miss it sorely on my A4 which is well suited for drums apart from that.
DN2 has retrigger the same as DT2 I think, it’s a second trig page with retrig rate and length
In live recording mode are surplus notes recorded “inside” a trig if possible or is the minimum recording resolution a trig?
No.
Yes.
(Based on the boxes I’ve used, models and DT2)
SPLIT CHANNEL INTERNALS
This is to make it easier to run the machines without mixer and / or make it possible to SEND / RETURN an output through external effect chain.
DEFAULT MIDI CHANNEL ALLIGNMENT
I am once again asking (insert Bernie) for param and note slides on all Elektron boxes.
midi re….
nvm, I give in
Have a Song Row trigger Fill
Hi!
What everybody needs is an Elektron mixer! Something with no machine like:
That would be the magic tool for all kinds of setup! The only option on the market is OT, but only 4 ins, no send and return, no overbridge, oldschool effetcs, etc!
Apologies if this has been mentioned, but it seems on the DT/DN/ST and sequels that Func+encoder for filter frequency allows one to jump to the maximum value. While this can be useful to instantly open a low pass filter, could we the opposite behavior when turning the encoder CCW to instantly open a high pass filter?
