I’m trying to do something I’m not sure is possible with trig conditions/locks:
I have a 4 bar loop. I’d like the first two bars to play twice, then the second two bars to play twice.
It seems simple enough, but I can’t get my head around how to do it.
Separate it in 2 patterns ?
Not sure to understand what you’d want, if it is temporary, if trig conditions would help…
Make the track length 64 steps. First 32 steps play the same thing and the last 32 steps play the same thing. No trig conditions needed.
Yes problem is I need to scale it down to 1/4 to fit it all in, and the loop has too many fast notes… if I had digitakt 2 this wouldn’t be a problem 
I’ve basically gone with putting it across two tracks at 1/2 and setting trig conditions on each as 1:2 / 2:2 so they play simultaneously.
The total length is 4 bars though. That’s 64 steps. What am I missing?
4 bars is only 64 steps under certain timing (scale) conditions. It’s actually a mistake to fixate on “one pattern is four bars”. The truth is that one pattern is max 64 steps, regardless of time signature, groove etc.
From your description of the loop upthread, it sounds like it needs more than 64 steps. Therefore the simplest solution is to use more than one pattern. Patterns are easy to chain.

Yes thats what I’ve gone with, I’m recording a track from my DAW (Cubase) that I want to reproduce for a live set using syntakt and digitakt - I’m restricted by the length of the sequencer, this is working OK for me now, though obviously takes up an extra track.
