Sweetwater let me know that they’re expecting it in their warehouse on the “third week of May.” Seems to corroborate with similar posts. I was quick on the trigger with that pre-order so hopefully I am in their first shipment! So pumped!
So for example if the pattern chaining works like on a Yamaha Rs7000, I’m stoked. With rs7k, I don’t even use song mode, instead I live record a pattern chain and when i want to end the song I just chain to an empty pattern. Done. If I can live record a long chain of sequences, fine. But pattern chains entered in the style and structure of the A4 would be quite a task if I’m trying to enter every pattern in the song, like one big Faulkner run-on sentence. At the very least, if DT was able to hold multiple pattern chains “on deck” for quick switching between them and I have to make changes manually, I suppose I could do that, but hey, what if I want to play the AK and not have to worry about hitting switches on DT? I don’t want the limits of the hardware to dictate what I’m doing any more than is utterly necessary.
Then DT may not be the product for you.
Man… So here I am Monday evening bank holiday and i have to say… I’m really not feelin any love for this new gimmicky black looking thing called Digi something…
Specs aside (which have been talked to… death), I am a sucker for all things pretty and always judge a book by its cover…
you guys/gals find the black box sexier than the lean mean silver machine?
everyone’s different and has different needs innit.
it’s exActly what I have been looking for over the past 10 years
visually I think the MD is amazing, but it’s ui is a bit clunky (selecting / changing sounds and snapshots etc are a bit buried away in menus, ram rec & play machines taking up a track each and certain other things wreck my head).
Digitakt looks sick, I love it. and it’s UI has been totally sorted out. they’ve fixed everything that annoyed me on the MD
Natch! Im talking just looks, forget needs
A silver Digi would looks very, very sexual.
Black is the new silver.
ah ok, I love the silver boxes visually. much more than the black trinity which I think got stale looking very fast.
the digitakt looks fresh tho, well into it
Can chains be saved? Thats my only question?
I hope so
so they said there’s no parameter slides on DT did they?
I’d really really love some 303 style slide action on the DT for adding some proper-ass feel to midi sequences.
gnomesein
U sure? I read no slide (i.e. Rytm slide) but parameter slides seem inevitable since trgless trigs has been reported available
no I haven’t a clue really, I know I heard a bit of discussion which sounded like that’s what they said but that’s why ima asking
what’s the rytm slide?
No parameter slides on DT, unlike AR and A4 (which also has note slide)
ok no parameter slides.
will DT have note slides?
(crosses fingers)
I very much doubt it
ah that’s a pity.
thanks for the reply
and sure we’ll find some kinda workaround or other way o putting more groove n feel into melodies with p-locks n stuff. lookin forward to experimenting.
