GRID looping is causing pops and clicks

But, most samples aren’t just sine waves

Off course, sine waves are used to clearly identify distortion or clicks. Digitakt 2 uses a strict grid. If it clicks, it means the sample doesn’t match the grid.

You’re talking about lack of features for the price in 2024, that’s another debate. GRID works as intended. Apparently no issue here.

But as I said above the click at the beginning of sample playback with any machine is an issue to me. Doesn’t happen with OT.

Being able to cleanly loop arbitrary sections of audio samples

Requires a feature most devs call Crossfade. DT1/2 don’t have it, and if this is your workflow, an Akai or Roland or similar sampler is what you’re looking for.

I don’t need crossfading.
I had no issues doing what I need on the OT; simply zoom in, snap my start/end to zero crossings, experiment finding good loop points, and away you go

This topic is discussed all over the place. A post to pull it all together for anyone searching in future.

Elektron definitively stated that zero-crossing detection was switched off for GRID machine on DT2 (by comparison to DT1). This is a contributor to more clicks/pops in GRID machine in particular.

@sezare56

@_Niko I have another question, but I am afraid of the answer :
Does GRID match zero-crossings automatically as on DT1 ?
It can be very annoying for wavetables tuning, and it can modify a groove using Linear Locks;

@_Niko

It doesn’t match the slice points to zero crossings for the reasons you mention

Other places there is a substantial conversation

• Looping Samples Clicks and Artifacts solution?
• WERP clicks
• Digitakt ii - Sample clipping when modulating source start

In addition to much discussion in general purpose threads such as feature requests, bug reports and Introducing DT2.

@bibenu

it all together

PhD level research on the subject, right here, right now. Thanks!
