Introducing Digitakt

I saw it…
not much going on there… not much to miss.
nothing about midi…

The only thing that interested me are the questions…
I would have loved to post a zillion about the midi features…

Oh my, communication chaos. Why have so many companies problems with that. Especially when they release new products. Everyone knows that they are not perfect on launch but when you hear no statements at all peoples dissapointment turns into anger.
Why not state a more precise timeframe for OB, explain what is planned for the Chaining and the Master section and other things that were expected because they were hinted on in previous videos.

I caught it briefly on the train ride home - actually really liked what I saw, can’t wait for “mid June” or whenever the DTs arrive in Oz.

Interesting. I wonder why they objected? The video didn’t really show off anything new, and I couldn’t really tell much about the midi track capabilities.

Absolutely.

To make things clear, it boiled down to an unsent email which was caused by the server - resulting in miscommunication.
Just a little more to wait :slight_smile:

Thanks! You aren’t performing at the Elektron Japan event tomorrow are you? I thought I saw that you were in China and am hoping you are going to pop by Tokyo.

unfortunately not - and there is a lot to be done back in Sweden :slight_smile:

Look at A4 or AR.
Both got serious update that brought them to another level.

I believe DT will know such upgrade at some point.

How long did that take?

I think it was about a year, but that was a time I wasn’t here yet.
Don’t count on it.
But I believe this product is going to be given some love as well :smile:

don’t get too excited … got mine yesterday … nothing changed on the delivery status since then

but in fact, i am still eager for this

more than a year

History would definitely indicate we haven’t seen everything this box will do :slight_smile:

Though Elektron have hinted at a bunch more products for release this year/soon. Those + analog series + OB… Imagine the dev team is getting spread pretty thin these days… Guessing we’ll see updates slower out the gates per box as their product range broadens.

Or hopefully they make a ton of money on the new stuff and can get a bigger team together :wink:

remember when the A4 didn’t have a +Drive and Overbridge? It was secretly built in but idle, and then revealed later.

A4 poly mode was added in the first year.

AR got the new machines.

Both together got the trig conditions sequencer upgrade, and bpm-independent LFOs, Oscillator-linked LFOs in A4…

I don’t think DT has secret analog parts in it, but pretty sure it will evolve.

Got email from Elektron on Monday that my Digitakt had shipped, including a UPS tracking number. UPS says they have received label information but no actual package yet, as of Wednesday. Elektron’s website says they’re closed until Monday. :cry:

I think so too … advanced pattern chaining, more filtertypes and some effects on the master sound realistic to me
