Limitations can be a good thing… and that is a lot of samples if you think about it… especially when you can manipulate them the way the DT can…

Yep. I believe Simon anyway, who said it was possible to plock PC (and banks ?).

Can you use an external keyboard for programming chords, and is there a way to have different start/ending points of those chords for a natural/humanized effect?
Yep. All notes would have the same length in a chord and you can change start with microtiming (1/24 step).

Thanks. I meant individual note offset within a chord, not the entire chord itself (I didn’t say that clearly and apparently that’s not possible). Don’t think this is the machine for me. Will wait for the next product.
What you can do is sample yourself playing the chord/chord progression. This would allow for the human feel your looking for.

Äh what? Can you explain that?
also it’s unclear from the manual if the digitakt has the same midi learn capability of the octatrack. I’d assume that’s the case but there’s no mention of it.
midi learn ? did I miss something on the OT?
midi learn…looks really cool
Doesn’t the OT do the exact same thing? What is so “advanced” about this way of pattern chaining? This is great for doing stuff on the fly but I was more hoping for some kind of simplified song mode that actually saves the chains.

ha nice one … I don’t have many synths that send cc’s but good to know!
did one check the UPS-Tracking? It looks like my package did not go out today
dunno, I have no experience with OT.
I never bother with chain mode on AR because it’s finicky, with that cursor and whatnot. Never use the song mode either.
So I’m just happy that DT already has a chain mode, and that it’s pretty easy to use. Reading through that part of the manual I was imagining fingers walking from step to step like a cat 
oh… just tried, AR chaining by continuosly pressing trig buttons, making sure any one is being pressed… is exactly the same… the things you learn

same…
I was hoping to finally get a hardware sequencer that has tight sync with my DAW. Overbridge does promise this, but it is delayed. Whatever hardware sequencer i have slaved to my DAW via Midi Clock had sloppy timing. I have tried alot of Sequencers and DAWs (used to have a MD) and at some point i said to myself if it needs Midi Clock i dont buy it.
FYI the Volca FM doesn’t respond to program change messages.
Huh?
you know that the mainly the clock generated by your daw is the issue!?
I’m doing it since years and I’m happy … but maybe I’m just not very picky with a tight clock.
