I joined the party and was super hyped about the preset pool trigger option. I thought it would allow me to create cool sequences with a wide variety of sounds on one channel, which I could then tweak in all sorts of ways. While my initial wish has been granted, the latter part hasn’t quite worked out.
I for example tried applying the filter selected in the channel (change the cutoff frequency), but since these presets always trigger with the settings saved in the preset, the channel’s filter settings keep getting overwritten.
I don’t understand why they added the sample looping options on this thing, it’s simply impossible to avoid clicking. I’ve lost hours trying. Ok it’s fine at playing back one shots, but anything else - forget it
Right now I feel like a total chump buying this.
Huge regret, when you add in all the other bugs and other issues with it
Simply possible to record and playback loops without clicks with appropriate envelope settings.
I’m not talking about entire loops, I’m talking about setting start and end points to loop a section of a sample. If it’s not possible without clicks, then why make start and end points even available?
Totally depends on the samples you’re using. For some I can’t make it work, but for a lot of others I can make it work without pops and clicks. Bit of attack, some low pass filtering, searching for the right start end and looppoints. Most definitely possible.
Pretty much all the other samplers I have can do clickless and seemless playback just fine. So it is definitely implementable and has been for maybe decades. 🤷
Elektron must be aware of it, no doubt. Not sure if they want to address it soon though
since Elektron is aware of how important the slicing implementation and improvement is to their customers and user base don’t you guys think they are working on the issue at this time?
I think you guys should send an email to elektron and ask them about all of this and I bet you’ll be surprised about the response!
It’s almost brought me to the point of abandoning the DTII and for sure limiting the use of it, which is again encouraging me to sell it as I don’t want to own something I don’t feel encouraged to use!
Sadly, I don’t think they’re necessarily working on it - I think they’d just say, buy/use an OT as that’s typically been the response in the past - right? Why would it be different now?
Because DT is monophonic without crossfade. Cannot work.
Feature-request@elektron.se
Did they ? Tonverk in the future ?
OT isn’t perfect for that, monophonic, no crossfade either. But it has zero-crossing detection (not always possible with stereo files), audio editor for fades and ping pong loop.
Possible to record seemless loops with Pickup machines.
So in case somebody has a faster one, let me know
