Hello! I’m using the Digitakt as the main hub for my live shows. I have patterns with many triggers that activate, for example, every 2 or 4 pattern iterations. I’d like to be able to monitor which loop iteration is currently playing, so I don’t have to keep count in my head.
Is there an indicator like this on the Digitakt?
I try to have one track that’s the full length of the pattern and I switch to that when I can to see where I am on the page leds. That has a lot of limitations of course, but I can’t think of another option.
You could have a distinct sound playing every 8 or 16 (or even more) bars to make the counting easier. It depends on how many bars you need to count. After some practice you migh even start to feel it without consiously having to keep track.
Some times the skills we need for performing are not what you’d expect as a novice.
