Yeah i know. Slaving the Daw to the maschinedrum gave me good sync. But slaving the DAW is out of the question asit brings in other problems eg song position.
thatĀ“s strangeā¦you can sequence 8 midi tracks with outboard gear, but you arenĀ“t able to save a pattern chainā¦i thought the digitakt could ābecome the center of your setupāā¦hm

Well, why wouldnāt you? If you gotta have song mode and stereo sampling, why spend any time at all lamenting the abilities of the DT when you can simply buy an OT and have everything that you want?

Exactly. Itās sort of ok if you have another elektron machine to send program changes for the patterns using their song mode, but otherwise, why even have a midi sequencer attached at all? I canāt figure out these strategic choices this company makes, but it seems like just as many bad decisions as good ones these days.

With the Transfer App , wondering if this can manage per pattern sample sets? Or is it just a dumping tool? And arrangement of sounds is strictly in the box?
If you plug DT midi out to its midi in, and send Program Changes just at the end of a midi track, you can change patterns and make a song or pattern chain. 
Am I wrong ?

I missed a ton on here so sorry if this is already mentioned.
Has anyone gotten their hands on one yet?
No, today we celebrate the release of the Manual!

Ah! On my way to look that up!
The Digitakt can store 2048 samples on the +Drive. A sample that is used in a Sound or a pattern can be renamed or moved and still work as intended. This is due to a hash function that adds a le speci c value to every le, and this value is independent of the le name or the leās location in the data structure. However, if you delete a sample, it will not be included in any Sounds or patterns anymore.
When a Sound is imported to a pattern, it becomes a copy of the Sound on the +Drive and is not linked to the original on the +Drive. Instead, it fully becomes a part of the pattern
hm thatās weird ā¦ 1. it says the sounds getting copied and therefor independent to the original, but then it says once the sample is being deleted it will affect sounds using it ā¦ that would mean you have to be quite careful what you re doing with your 2048 samples
āPlease note that the chain will be lost when you create a new chain or when you select a new
bank/pattern. Also, chains can not be saved and will be lost when you switch the Digitakt off.ā
Well, this info saves me a bunch of dough. No Digitakt as the hub for my live project. I think after owning two octatracks and an A4 that my relationship with Elektron may actually be over. The weird Apple-like omissions simply render Elektrons stuff more or less useless for anyone trying to combine their machines with anything other than their machines. Seems overly conceptual at best, and is at itās core just unprofessional to not give musicians basic flexibility. But who knows, maybe it will blow me away in so many other ways, that I eventually can add it as a scratch pad next to to the MPC, which I basically have to buy now. I hope so, because as all Elektron gear it has a lot going for it (but why, why, why do they always do this?).

Did I miss it or is nothing mentioned about the master button?
You missed a lot.

itās individual track volumes.
you know an update to the OS could add a compā¦ but itāll be a digital comp. That may the beauty behind just an all digital machine, the updates can be whatever they want provided the internal DSP can handle it.

yehā¦ if the mixer would be the final thing, that button would say Mixer, not Master.
