How to record played notes from Keystep keyboard

Elektron Gear Digitakt
#1

Hi,

I have an Arturia KeyStep connected to my Digitakt so when I press record on it and start playing on my Keyboard I expected the Digitakt to record something! It doesn’t…

No matter which configurations I do the Digitakt doesn’t record any note when I play and also doesn’t even show the Chromatic scale when in record mode, so I don’t have any way to record chromatic notes :open_mouth:

Any help?

Make sure you have a sample loaded into that Track in the “assign” menu.

Make sure chromatic mode is on by presing Func+TRK

To live record its Rec+Play, then just start playing your keyboard.

To grid record just press record, hold a trig and press a note on your keyboard.

Can it be done on MIDI tracks too?

yea same way, just setup the correct midi channel to whatever you are trying to send midi to.

#5

Set your keystep to MIDI CH 10 - Shift + 10. Its DTs MIDI Auto channel so you will play any track that is selected.
