Local music store. Long & McQuade has them ready to order in Canada:
I believe people have posted some links from larger, American retailers as well. I don’t think people are currently ordering directly from Elektron because it’s impossible to get through at the moment.
A very simple way to describe kits is they allow you to save all sound/sample data independent of the pattern so if you have a specific set of say 16 sounds you love, you don’t have to load them individually on every new pattern. You can also edit a kit on one pattern and it will make the changes across other patterns where that kit is loaded so you don’t have to go through and copy every track if you are working across a bunch of patterns. The analog four and rytm both use kits and it’s a great feature for building longer song structures.
Yes, Perform Mode (sticky Kit) can be enabled during Song Playback as well as Pattern Play or Chain Play modes … just tried, great way to get extra mileage from patterns
Yeah, I would love for kits to come to the syntakt. I’m hoping due to the syntakt hardware being newer that it’s still got room under the hood for some of this stuff (eucledean seq, kits).
Nice update. The new trig modes look fun. That sound pool mode with 16 trigs. I could see that being really useful. Adds a whole new option of recording sound locks in real-time. Hoping that makes it’s way over to the Syntakt eventually!
can’t seem to load the site for the manual…
Are the FX’s per track??
That would be amazing if so, and a huge bummer if not being that it looks like sample bit rate is on the same page.
For me it is the contrary.
If you want to record different tracks you loose their relative levels…
If you want to resample MAIN, the level won’t match…
12.1 EDITING THE SEND FX AND MIXER PARAMETERS
The Digitakt II’s Chorus, Delay and Reverb are send effects and are set on a pattern level. It means that all
the presets in a pattern shares the same effect settings but have individual send levels to the effects. The
Delay, Reverb, and Chorus parameters are set on their respective PARAMETER page, but their incoming
signals are set by the DEL, REV, and CHO send parameters on the FX page of each audio track.
Press [FUNC] + [FX] to access the SEND FX parameter pages, and then use the [UP]/[DOWN] keys to
navigate between the sub pages. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to change the parameters.
Damn. Ordered the mk1 2 days ago, arrived today. Looks like I’ll be returning that then.
I wonder if this will hit sales of the Digitone and syntakt as well as people expect a
Mk2??
Looks a good upgrade and pleased the price has stayed similar. It will never be perfect for everyone (so, for example, I would have loved to see the ability to replace the midi tracks with live looping tracks. A DT with 8 live looping tracks would be ultimate tool!!) but it’s pretty impressive. Well done elektron. Bad timing me!!
