Sure, edited and let’s get nuanced.
I know it’s just vibe, I have some amount of trust that Elektron will give original owners some benefit in shifting prioritization to the 2. Certainly a bugfix update.
While companies talking about some stuff can stir up and inflame entitled GAS-wranglers, I think grown-ups can take their wants into account while ignoring whatever “emotional truth” has them rant-ing over music-ing like someone kicked their dog.
As someone who’s posted on that thread since it’s started (and posted lots of badly mixed WIP and loops and one pattern riffs), I’ve got nothing but positive feedback so certainly don’t hesitate from sharing if you come up with something cool!
If you’re gonna use it on your lap, I’d also consider getting a deck saver and using like this. Never thought of it before but saw this photo this morning and was like 🫨
Is there currently any possibility to render a digitakt song-masteroutput into a daw or something like this via usb?
Yes. Newer Elektrons are USB CLASS COMPLIANT.
I tested with iOS and Android.
on windows (in bitwig) i can only use the WASAPI driver which doesn’t offer me any input channels
Thanks. It actually doesn’t feel too bad on my lap, so all good.
I’ve bought an aftermarket cable for the freedom too, so the psu cable issue is a moot point.
Just bought one from Music Matter in UK, 10% off in their summer sale. Got it for £762.
Asio4all?
I’d been creating a template project with tracks setup for all my external gear, the right MIDI channel, and bunch of useful CC mapped (picking the “best” 16 CC’s often took ages!)
Then I had an small epiphany, presets! It’s great that MIDI tracks can also be saved as a preset too
That’s great! Is that possible to export/import? 
the honeymoon period is over and the dtII is packed away for the time being
i was able to emotionally articulate my disenchantment when placing a perfectly bpm-aligned loop into grid mode’s linear locks and still somehow getting clicks and pops that could not be extinguished by an attack envelope or any other workaround commonly suggested
for all intents and purposes, digitakt 2, like its predecessor, is still a one-shot machine
taking this into consideration, is it a genuinely thoughtful or creative innovation to just double the tracks? does anyone need 16 tracks for one-shots?
does it strike anyone as cynically sales-driven to restrict the few updated sequencer conditions to the dt2? as if it could not be sold on its intrinsic merits, but only by what the other machines now lack?
is it not just a little disappointing that the best elektron could come up with is basically just squeezing two digitakts together and calling it “digitakt 2”?
i’m sure people more talented than myself will make amazing music with it- i look forward to taking it out of storage when some updates hopefully make it a little more serious
No, I don’t think so. DTII was released only a few months ago, and the team has been focused on ironing out bugs. Also, they all had a nice fat summer vacation, European-style. Where in all of this would they have had time to even consider updating older machines?
Patience is key. This is still a small company, regardless of the size of their user base.
Same here. Packed back in its box. It will sit in the closet until Elektron decides to give it some attention. Using my DT1 still. I should have held off on buying the DT2 until it was ready, actually might even sell it, DT1 serves me fine.
Damn. I had a M8 in my cart this morning, but decided not to pull the trigger due to the DT2 still tempting me. Y’all helped kill the gas again lol.
I like how the M8 can handle stereo samples without clicking issues. Everyone argues it’s due to the nature of stereo samples and a bit more processing, but I don’t buy that argument.
I also don’t like how retrig options still aren’t offered with the midi machines yet.
If you zoom in a Stereo wav file, you’ll often notice that the zero crossing isn’t at the same place for the L and R channels.
I think ways to solve the issue exist, but just haven’t been implemented. I also don’t think it’s as complicated to implement as everyone says.
you’re correct- they do, one of them would be a crossfade function
right again- considering my $5 koala app can do it, it’s probably not
Looking at OT, I’m sure it does too. Why isn’t implemented yet, I don’t know. Time, knowledge, omission?
This petty frustration-fueled conspiracy theory ignoring reality, again?
These can be considered as bugs: have you even written a ticket to Elektron support?
This is overlooking a few new features with a blatant bad faith.
Consider selling your unit to someone who will have fun. I know I do. A lot.
There is constructive criticism and fruitless frustrated ranting. Later is better kept to other places.
Edit: @jemmons does it with more tact
