Plenty of info online and a bunch of videos showing what the device can do. Here’s one:

I have the same impression with my mk1 but it also depends on the elements in the equation like the right mixture of the dry/wet ratio and level, drive level and if applied the amount of filter distortion. If everything is engaged it behaves more like some sort of dirty compressor

Any videos about using the effects in a creative way? I’m thinking about buying one to use it after suntakt to glue everything together with some distortion and use the effects as live performance tools for drums. So videos about performance and effects on drums are welcomed

I think a lot of people are already sequencing it with a P-Lockable sequencer??

Maybe you should give it another half hour or so

would be great to get a dedicated midi machine on digitakt / syntakt for this, so you don’t have to set up the ccs and all that stuff manually…

Yes. I’m sure a lot of ppl are “sequencing” it via DAW Automation as well. But you still won’t have a self-contained box of tricks with ready-to-go FX sequences to just apply to stuff. You need to keep track of what CC:s to sequence, and what pattern on some other machine to combine with what preset on AH, and how to connect it.
It’s a bit like saying: “You don’t need a tremolo pedal. You just need this VCA. Combine it with a LFO and some format converters, and possibly a preamp and an envelope follower, and and then just patch it together.” It’s true. But…
Also, controlling it via an external midi sequencer won’t be anywhere near sample accurate if running via Overbridge. It might even be tricky to get it in sync at all, given latency-compensation trickery in the DAW:s, that might not understand the external connection and compensate accordingly.

Analog Heat +FX with nothing connected at the inputs. Just sending program changes.

Highly usable as a Dub FX Chain, check it out:

Hey folks, I have a Heat Mk1 and am looking at the Heat +FX for the first time, particularly as a live performance tool… There are so many effects here, is there a way to choose say four or eight parameters across all the effects and have them available in one or two macro pages, to avoid having to jump around between pages when playing live?
You have to make these settings once. You can then continue working with “Copy and Paste”.
Unfortunately not.

Thanks, that is a bummer, seems like an obvious thing to include

Is it possible to create macros using midi cc messages? I was thinking about using syntakt midi to send messages to multiple parameters at the same time (think increasing delay send while also decreasing filter frequency) with just one knob. Is this possible?

Normally, when I see that quote on this forum, I roll my eyes because it‘s usually a pretty niche request from an impatient user that expects a device to fulfil all of their wishes (sorry, everyone). However, I 1000% agree this time.
It‘s something that all Elektron Digi devices would have wildly benefited from: a page of 8 user definable parameters, to put all of your most used stuff like filter cutoff, amp decay, what-have-you‘s on one page. I love Elektron but all of the page-ing around is kinda frustrating most of the time.
Addendum: I know ST kinda does that (DTII now, too?) but it‘s only 4 instead of 8.

What are you talking about ?
Performance macros (Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, Breath Controller) in the sound setup menu.
Yes but it doesn’t work as you described, it’s not a freely user assignment page. (and Digitone has also macros !).
Digitone Keys have user assignable knobs in the way you describe.
