Question: max length for Euclidean sequence?

keeping in mind, a dumb guy asking a potentially stupid question

Max length for the Euclidean sequence is your track’s length.

I see Len 16. I see no mention in the manual about lengths. Some make EuSeqs with a max length of 16 steps.

So does this mean if you have a 128 step sequence your EuSeq could be 1-128 in length?

Indeed. I think it’s particularly useful for long sequences.

While the DT2 does look great, I’ve decided that for this amount of money I want polyphony, so I’m gonna hold back from buying one for now. Let’s see what gets added down the line.

Had a blast today teaming Digitakt 2 up with Analog Heat FX & Syntakt.

No midi to AHFX just using the envelope follower to ping off sounds into the cosmos :loud_sound::grin::ok_hand:

What?! What fucking delivery company delivers a $1000 package without getting a signature?!!

Unfortunately fedex does it all the time when it requires signature. It was supposed to be delivered Tuesday so I wasn’t home listening for it. Checked the doorbell cam and the dude stole it 10 minutes before I got home. If anyone sees a ā€œusedā€ or new DT2 for sale in the SF Bay Area it’s probably mine. Filed a police report and hopefully Sweetwater can help me out with a replacement

Strangely my DT2 was also left without signature but it was fortunately there when I arrived at home. I’m also in SF, ordered from Sweetwater, and was expecting it Tuesday. Sorry that happened to you - what a pain!

FedEx should be on the hook for that. Ask them for the P.O.D. for that delivery. ā€œOh, you said that $1000 package that required a signature was delivered? Show me the fucking signatureā€

If not them then Sweetwater. If the courier they hired delivered something without getting a signature then they should be dealing with FedEx while they ship you out a replacement or refund your purchase.

As I’m sure you already are, I would be furious with FedEx.

In Berkeley, but it seems pretty common in the area that FedEx doesn’t get signatures even when required. Also, when the hell did they start delivering on Sunday?!

where would a smart person order a dt2 from if they had to wait until 5/8 to place the order? i was thinking alto but now im not too sure since they seem to be overwhelmed with pre orders from people who thought they had stock. control voltage seems nice but im on the east coast and they are just now getting batch 3 and taking orders for batch 4

I’m certain a new Octatrack or whatever it will be called - SedecimTrack or HexaTrack? The new workflow also makes a lot of sense now. I’m guessing after 7 years and observing how people actually use it they have made it a lot more logical.

If the digi lineup is now priced 1000€ (vs 650 few years ago), what would be the ā€œnew octatrackā€ lineup ? 1500 - 2000 ? I’m not sure I want to put all that money in an elektron box. I have the feeling the digis are the new high end product. And the DT kind of replace the OT, or it will with future updates.

Anyone with a Digitakt II, can you advise if you are able to power the Digitakt directly via the usb port conneted to a laptop/iPad and with access to usb midi/audio, similar to how I can on the Polyend Play+.

This is one of the great features of the Play+, no need for any other power supply, powerbank etc… just a single usb cable into the laptop/iPad, great portable setup.

Sorry, no.
