Introducing Digitakt II

I hope it sounds significantly better than the OT, that’s the main reason I’m selling my OT for the DT mk II :wink:

My order arrived at my local Long & McQuade store today, so hopefully yours will be following shortly.

What city are you in? I’m in Winnipeg.

I stopped by my store today to pay off the remaining balance and they said the order has a packing slip. So, it could be on a pallet at the main warehouse or in transit. When it gets to Winnipeg, it arrives at the main store then gets couriered to my store. I was hoping to have it by the weekend but it looks like it will be next week some time.

Just to be clear I don’t have my Digitakt II in-hand yet, and this is purely a curiousity if and how we might be able to get the Digitakt to function as a pseudo-wavetable synth.

It would definitely be cool to untether the slice latching from the trig event in this case, so that say, a triangle or ramp LFO can scrub across those slices, but in a slice-loop-quantized manner.

Wait, OT does not sound good?

I like a more hifi sound.

Be careful with the OT sound quality talk! It’s a very sensitive topic. :wink:

The dt used to be too ‘bright & hi end dominant’ as a standalone box (for me). Combining with ah or a4mk2 for lowend worked (for me).

When you insert the Audio cables and the power supply in their respective holes, it seems tighter than the other Elektron boxes.

I finally had enough time to work on a new track and it’s great. The mix is cleaner because no need to use some dirty workarounds for stereo width. The patches made out of wave tables/single cycles waveforms are “better” because of the “synth” additions aaand since there are 16 tracks I can integrate more diverse sounds without having to p lock everything to death. :slight_smile:

With more power comes…

Less responsibility.

I’ll take it!

You can do amazing things with 40 midi tracks!

Got my DigiTwokt today. It’s been about 3 hours and I haven’t even finished loading my samples onto it. How the hell did they think having the transfer speed for a 20gb device this slow was a good idea? Holy hell. I’m hoping to play with it tomorrow when I get home from work.

Remember parents, always install all the updates, check the batteries, and have the tech gifts ready to go when the kids get them or they won’t get to enjoy them immediately!

Yeah, it’s a bit ridiculous in 2024. Maybe there’s some real-time file conversion or normalization going on that dictates the slow transfer speed? It’s very slow. Crazy that we couldn’t just have an SD slot. I’m sure most cards these days are faster than the internal storage.

Doesn’t seem the case : I could modulate a wavetable (WT Morph Sweet sample) with an lfo, grid 64, length 1, slice 33, lfo depth 32. Triggered once with a 1st trig condition.
I think it would be interesting to keed that possibility…
