What is the best way to kill a sound or tail when switching to another pattern?
Since I haven’t used a digi in years, I forgot.
A.2.3 STRETCH
BARS
Bars sets the total duration of the sample measured in bars and is relative to the set BPM.
But how many bar max ?
Ahh thanks for clarifying 
The videos I saw, it looked like we only had 1 filter, that you selected from the menu.
I obviously missed something there.

Could use a trigless trig at the start of the next pattern

That’s a huge boon for the TR8S! Being able to copy pages (‘Variations’ in TR8S parlance) to other pages and work on them while they’re not being played is a super fast way to make tweaks before bringing them in.
I would love for this to be do-able on the DTII. Loop the first 4 pages, copy page 1 to 5. Go to page 5 and makes tweaks. Copy 5 to 6,7,8. Set loop to 5,6,7,8.
Tweak page 1. Copy 1 to 2,3,4. Set loop to 1,2,3,4. etc.
It’s wicked being able to do this on the TR8S.

I am planning on postponing this as long as I can. Just to limit myself to the stock samples and what I sample directly into it. See how far I can get (and limit myself a bit, because I will otherwise be scrolling and auditioning until my creativity has fled back to his mama).

Yeah that was my plan as well but I didn’t have a stereo cable to sample from my phone or recorder yet for some reason. And it doesn’t feel right to sample in mono now 
But now it’s been loading for quite a while and I don’t want to pause it in the middle.
The factory stuff is quality though

ordered the minute they became available in Elektron webshop (around 11:30pm). arrived to me (london) in ~36 hours. genuinely surprised.

The legacy LP/HP filter is still here.
There is also a 4-pole LP filter.
I don’t really observe a digital character to the sound tbh, and even tend to add some with the SRR pre-filter.
Maybe you’ve heard people using BR/SRR, you’ll have to try it yourself to be sure,
Cause YT is not precisely hifi.

Not possible to loop all tracks ? Doesn’t seems convenient, and a pity for live performance…

I think it does if track length is per pattern. Have to confirm this.

I don’t know if this was posted somewhere already, but someone asked us if multi-sampling was possible on the DT2 so I experimented a bit. Here’s how to setup velocity layers (play a different sample depending on the velocity):
- Create a sample chain of 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 samples with the samples going from lowest to highest intensity. You can use any DAW or a tool like OctaChainer for this. The samples in the chain need to be spaced equally, so be sure to use a grid.
- Load the sample chain into a grid machine
- Set the grid machine’s “Slice Grid” parameter to the number of samples in your chain (e.g. 8)
- Be sure that the “Slice Select” and “Slice Length” parameters are set to 1
- FUNC + FLTR > Velocity mod
- Set the modulation destination to “SRC:Slice Select” and the modulation depth to the number of samples in your chain (e.g. 8.00).
- FUNC + FLTR > Velocity to vol: off
This prevents the velocity from additionally controlling the sample volume, which is counterproductive since that’s usually already taken care of by the different hit intensities in the sample chain.
Here’s a quick test with a sample chain of 8 acoustic snare hits with different intensities:

yeah and now that they’ve revamped the platform and made it even better for improvements just imagine how it would be if they implemented a new Slice machine with all the trimmings 
if they bring anything else to the DT2 I hope it’s that!

Thanks confirming it works ! Was on my to do list.

I’m feeling this new digitakt might be the closest we get to an Octatrack mk3/2
and it might in some ways be more fully featured than the Octatrack. Or at the very least more functional.
I think if this thing just had 4 outs and 4 ins it could replace my Octatrack.
The ability to load longer samples is a huge plus even with the small 1 minute sample time for recording.
I’m still very happy with my Octatrack but maybe we’ll never see the improvements for it that people have hoped for and it’s hit the end of its life cycle

I think so too.
Was just looking at this old thread and thinking about the best tool for actually building songs with and I think the dt2 beats the Octa. At least in terms of actual space to build out tracks:
Plus, sound locks pull from the hard disk right? Regardless of what’s loaded to the audio pool
Or does the imported sound list share the +drive space with the audio pool/imported project samples? Never fully looked into that
Or the excellent DigiChain tool!

Static machines on the OT allow you to stream very long files from the CF card, so space isn’t really that much of a concern. The RAM is just there for live sampling/looping.
