Vocal is from SP404, everything else is Digitakt

Woo hoo! Mine has just been delivered! Iām at work today but my wife has just taken delivery of it. Iāll be home tomorrow looking after the baby so I might actually get a chance to have a play. I donāt have any other hardware (just a laptop with Sunvox & Ableton) so Iām super excited.
Iāve also bought a Korg PlugKey and MIDI cable so that I can use the Digitakt to trigger stuff on my iPhone and route the audio into the Digitaktā¦ I really hope mine has been assembled wellā¦
I own A4, and was considering DT, but it looks like there are many software bugs and some problems with buttons .
I never had any bigger issues with A4 , it is excellent build quality and OS is stable.
Do you think it is different with DT ? Or this is just few people having problems? In another words, do you think DT is not on the same level as my A4? I like the sound of DT, otherwise I would go for OT.
OS 1.02 was released yesterday. have a look.
It is early in the life of the DT. It seems highly likely that the problems will be fixed soon.
Using the Analog Four as an example, the first batch had problems with flaky panel finish and many firmware bugs were fixed over time.

Nice. Sounds really niceā¦ This comment on your video amused me: Dang your first beat makes my first beat on the Digitakt sound like a dog running through a drum store.

Yeah that made me laugh too! Like I said, to be fair, Iām well versed in operating the AR so this comes pretty naturally 
anyone know if there is a way to zoom in while trying to adjust a long sample start and end? NOT on the sampling page, but once you load a sample that is long. It kind of sucks having a long sample chain, but once you assign it to a pad, you cant zoom in to get the exact start point you want.

I am interested in that as well. Must be a way to fine tune start-end position after you arrange samples in sequencer
there are, mine froze up a couple of times last night. hopefully theyāll be ironed out soon.
I reordered one, and it should be arriving this weekend. I feel like I have too many samplers, but I really want to play with this one. Thatās about all the justification that is necessary for a guy like me.

Yes, I know A4 had some issues in the beginning, but nothing like freezing once an hour. I hope they will fix it soon ā¦

bummer 
Mine has frozen more times than I count since 1.02 when itās receiving MIDI. Otherwise, it doesnāt freeze.

quick review from about 3 days.
good box , good screen.
straight forward to get head around.
p-locking , as usual , is great.
transferring samples / using them is easy , its what iāve been looking for (using mac & usb)
buttons / encoders are good (assuming you update to 1.02)
using midi and polyphonic note stuff is ok .setting route note and offset works quite well
if you want to specify each of the 4 notes you can do it too. they all share the same parameters except note (length,velocty etc).
setting up midi ccās for external gear is easy ,
not so good.
firmware is buggy
if you see a review that doesnāt mention it , its a little suspicious unless they have more advanced firmware.
it can work for hours, can crash for what seems to be no reason.
its not bad because it hasnt got 100ās of filters , reverbs , no compressor, no song modeā¦ none were promised as far as i know so i cant complain its not doing things it was never supposed it , though some are very useful (song mode etc).
in short , grab now if your an early adopter and willing to deal with early issues.
Iām not sure Iād do any heavy tweaking playing it live.
its a very capable box , especially doing glitchy electronic , live mangling.
its a good intro to elektron workflow leading to rytm and analog 4
Iām thinking itāll replace my engine, circuit , micro granny and possibly some synths (once i dig into waveforms)
but will wait till its less prone to crashing doing basic things .this must surely be simpler to do firmware than rytm/octatrack so i suspect itāll be fine at some point soon.
