Just asking a very basic feature for a sequencer. Transpose would allow to play/record TUNE with Hold Func octave snap, and keep recorded notes.

For sure - I would love that feature (a bit like the A4). Letās hope.

No, you canāt.
Many new parameters, new factory samples, etc.
Compatibility is only ensured the other way around. itās been explicitly told us by Elektron during the beta test phase.

Completely sensible and understandable.
My headphonejack is rather loose and audio looses contact on one side when i wiggle the cable slightly 
Maybe donāt wiggle it 
Interesting, the SSR pre-LP is also present on DT1. Not that I donāt agree with your points, just trying to understand - is there something different in the routing (I have DT2 now and had DT1, not anymore)
feels a lot closer to a fully realized all-in-one sound design groovebox. in terms of sound mangling, composition, and even synthesis. i feel like a dt2 + st would have anyone pretty much set for a very long time. obviously the digi trinity would now be ultra powerful as well
i didnt gel with the first one because im not much of a sample-r, but this feels like i can actually accomplish āreal music creationā with just this, if that is a comprehensible human sentence

oh yeah, i actually forgot they had it just a different symbol. i used that a lot though on the dt1 and liked it. i think the difference here is a combination of things. first of all, putting srr into different filters, different filters add different character when pushing srr into them at lower cutoffs and allow you to get to extreme levels without blowing it out but also sort of work together with the filter to create new timbres
the comb filter with srr going into it is a miraculous thing. very resonator-like and that adds infinite physical modelling possibilities. also, the enhanced/extended pitch range allows for a more malleable base for sample crushing imo, so i dont know why but it didnt feel this powerful on the dt1. i liked it on there, but i actually dont remember using it in this way where taking a single transient click could be turned into something entirely different without being blown out distorted or fuzzy, with just a subtle turn of the srr knob.
maybe its my own imagination but i guess the point is that the sum is now much greater due to some enhanced parts. more powerful in my mind

This are my feelings as well. It feels more ācompleteā. Still Iām hoping for a chord machine in a future update

I just tried playing with the presets pool feature, interesting! So, live recording, each played preset gets recorded on a step, and its settings āstickā to the step, like P-locks, but arenāt really P-locks so that we can still modify the preset with entering p-locks.
I like it, means that the presets are not locked as they sound, and the rest of the track can still be used with default track settings.
Maybe itās always been like this, like on the Digitone where it is possible to lock a preset to a step (owned one for a short time and canāt remember).
Iām writing this to see if I got something wrong, and to share the love

Noob query before buying. There are 128 projects but when you turn it on there are 16 distinct demo patternsā¦ is that weird?
Also is the reverb enabled by default? I assume I am hearing the Digitakt reverb on all demo patterns?
There are actually 32 demo patterns within two banks in the preset project. Elektron did that for a long time now.
The reverb is a send effect, the fx settings are per pattern. You can check the amount of sound sent to the effects in the FX page for each track.

Yes, it was called āSound Lockā, itās been a (very useful) thing since A4 !
Itās now āPreset Lockā although Iām 75% sure you canāt do it with MIDI Presets, havenāt tried yet.

Thereās no way to edit the preset, if used on multiple step, beyond p-locking the parameter for each step the preset is used on, right? Thinking of a use case where I use a Snare preset a few times in a pattern, and then want to modify that snareā¦
(more for Tips & Tricks, sorry!)
Is it possible to start an LFO on a pattern on page 6 of 8? My use case is I wrote a bass line and I want the filter to open only on the last 2 bars. I know I can manually p lock the filter to each step, but I was wondering if I could somehow set an LFO to start running on trig 1 of page 7 that would then continue through the end of the pattern. My related question is I locked a free running LFO to the first step, but since the line is made up of a lot of steps and not one continuous loop, I would also have to p lock an LFO to each step correct? When I tried this all future steps past trig 1 of page 7 were unaffected by the freerunnung LFO. Hopefully this convoluted description makes some sense.
No, canāt think of one right nowā¦
but on DT2 you should have enough tracks

Whatās impressive to me is how good FM and AM with the LFOās sound, and how well it can repitch single cycle waveforms. It makes samples not sound quite like samples, like itās ultra-high-resolution or something. I got a DT2 specifically to find out if you could use it conveniently as a synth and you can. Very impressive. Hoping for polyphony someday. A voice-stealing scheme like with A4 would be fine with me.

now this is compelling. my go-to move for percussive one shots is to add a slight amount of either pitch fm or filter freq fm with a 1k or 2k lfo then use the fade envelope to cut it off after the initial transient but i have not yet tried extreme depth values on the dt2 somehow. i guess it makes sense now that the sample Tune can go much higher on the II
i can totally see this though, everything feels ultra high res to me. so much more malleable and defined
good call. im trying more extreme fm immediately

Hi can you do the thing ableton does when you record a slowly rising pad sound, it records two takes so you have the slow rise for the first time you press play but then it will switch to the second take, half way through, that doesnāt have the slow rise. It then plays from half way and repeats over and over.
Hope that makes sense.
