Is it somehow possible to load a pattern (incl. Samples) from another project?

The BRR algo is different. The amp envelop placement and parameter mapping is different. The rest is the same as DT1.

Given the physical differences, it could not anyway, no Xfader, less ins and outs, no removable storage.

There was a related query about converters and the og DT’s automatic sample eq ā€˜bumps’ as somebody was (possibly) hearing a different ā€˜colour’ to the general demonstration output thus far … even hinting that the eyes (screen colour) could be swaying the ears … any changes there worth a comment ?

Does the random locks feature of the grid machine still works when in euclidean mode ? With a 8 notes samples chain (with a chosen scale), it would allows instant melody generation.

I’d say so, euclidean mode is just a reorganisation of the core track trigs (if they are there)

You get a 1:1 map if EUC mode is fully populated, the more you thin it out, the more you introduce gaps to the start of the underlying ā€˜normal’ sequence. Think of it like stretching the right of your normal track outta vision, the rest of the steps get orientated in the order shown on EUC view, the first read blue EUC step is always the first ā€˜real’ trig (which is a rule, but the underlying track allows you to rotate it as though you were in GRID edit mode, so FUNC+>< are fine to reorder the ā€˜source’ track, but the first trig of the grid track will still be the first blue step, just that it will now be a different note from before.

So with all that in mind, i don’t see there being an issue … you just selectively look into that track and space it differently, but always in the order that the source trigs appear

can it sample stereo loops now ?

does it have real timestretch too ?

oh damn, sorry for being too lazy to look it up just now.

Thanks a bunch for answering <33

it will still work if the ā€˜red trigs’ are laid down before hand (just as you need to do in grid mode)

e.g. laying down 16 blue euclid steps here will not act as the receiver from the command to linearly/randomly distribute slices … those trigs need to be there already, plus you need to be within the SRC page to get the YES popup to give you that option

when in EUC mode you can convert any blue trig into an underlying red trig directly by merely giving it a lock (e.g. PITCH would make sense in this case) … thereafter the SLICE distribution can be implemented within EUC mode on the SRC page

I think there was even a key combo to ’bake in’ all euclidian steps at once, as red trigs :face_with_monocle:

Could someone answer this

If you have a midi keayboard hooked up, will it pass on more than 4 notes on a midi channel? I don’t mean record I know that’s 4 notes but if it can send more. I’d like to be able to at least play 9ths and 11ths and sample them into the digitale

yes, you can print EUC steps as red trigs, that would be a quicker way to get the red trigs in

so you temporarily exit EUC (whilst holding FUNC ) then immediately re-enter

that’s much faster, albeit temporarily leaving, but definitely the best way to get where you want if you need donor trigs for random/linear slice locks - good call !

How would you compare the new BRR and the former one ?

@Elekktrikk you have both isn’t it ?

It should, as on other Digis…

EDIT - I think question already just answered! Thanks.

Original post:
Interested in the answer to this as I have exactly the same question.

I will be playing my MIDI controller keyboard live into the DT2 and sampling the output from my Hydrasynth Desktop into the DT2.

Most of the time I don’t need to record the MIDI notes as a sequence. I will be playing live straight into the sampler. And I want to be able to play (and sample) big extended chords, up to 8 voices and sometimes more than that.

Does the 4-note polyphony mean that only 4 notes can be passed through the DT2 (and DT1 and ST, the logic is the same) when playing an external synth via a DT2/DT1/ST MIDI track? To be clear, I’m talking about the live MIDI note input from keyboard via DT2 to connected hardware synth.

Or does it mean that ALL notes received are passed to the device connected to the MIDI track but that only 4 notes can be recorded in the sequencer polyphonically and played back polyphonically?

I realise this is a little off thread as this question applies equally to the DT1 and the ST as well.

In general we have tried to preserve the sound of DT1 while also improving certain things. Like the sample interpolation filter is identical to DT1 and I believe most of the ā€œsoundā€ comes from this.
An example of something we have changed/improved is the EQ. It is the same filter as on DT1, however the width is a continuous control and not quantized to 5 different shapes.
The legacy filter is the same as the DT1 LP/HP filters.
All of the controls are mapped automatically when you import DT1 projects!
