Introducing Digitakt

Yes indeed!
Except the one looking through the window at the conspiracy-triggering spot in the background :spy:

" I dont know ANY real and proper MIDI-Sequencer for 650 ā‚¬ - which also handles audio and actually records it."

Pretty much any MPC. 2000, 2000xl, MPC 500, 1000 or 2500 (depending onthe deal you get)

Compressor would be PHENOMINAL

Would be great if it has the Dynamix compressor from the MD or something similar.

That would make it the first external sampler from Elektron without resampling. Iā€™d be surprised if it didnā€™t have it.

If it doesnā€™t sample its own output it would pretty much be redundant for me.
Iā€™d bet money that it will though!

So, anyone idea of release date?

You could do the same type of internal resampling that you could do via MDUW. Reverse a riff, resample different sound tweaks. I could go on, but I havenā€™t explored the resampling capabilities in the MDUW/OT enough

Like Kelisā€™s milkshake :dancers:

Damn right!

No, you havent missed something :wink: I just expect it to have Resampling Capabilities because a) the Octatrack has Resampling Capabilities and the Digitakt is an ā€œOctatrack Liteā€ and b) because it would totally make sense :wink:

Tbh - i dont care. If it doesnt have Resampling im fine too. Its still an awesome MIDI-Sequencer!

@AikiGhost - can you Multitrack MIDI on those MPCs? Do they have a great sequencer? Pattern oriented? I never used MPCs, just heard that they are more geared towards the Finger Drummers out there and that their sequencer needs ā€¦ time to get used to. I had an MC909 once and the Sequencer of this one was Piano-Roll like and far from being comfortable. It took a few steps to enter/edit Notes there. Thats not intuitive i think.

Now im curious there YOU got that information from :slight_smile: Does it really resample?

I dunno, but if it doesnā€™t it would be the first Elektron until that live sampled and didnā€™t resample

yeah, true. But the price tag is indeed quite low, so maybe we should really not expect it? Whatever :slight_smile:

They changed the Homepage; Digitakt isnt on the Front Page anymore. Do we finally get some Videos? We need them :smiley:

Some of the promo material says it has
ā€œaudio tracksā€. Will it be able to play back full five to ten minute stereo backing tracks, straight from the hard disk? Iā€™ve read most of this thread and still have no idea. My assumption is no, but if it could, it would make the prospect much more appealing.

Most of the older MPCs each sequence can be up to 999 bars in length can have many layers each of which control the output on a separate midi track (16 or 32 depending on MPC model and number of physical midi out ports) and can be muted, layered, send midi CCs etc.

On the older MPCs the minutia of midi editing could be time consuming (especially without JJOS) and if you messed up a live recording it would often be easier to erase the just recorded section and re-play it in again, but on the newer ones like touch its a lot easier.

I suspect the new MPC live & X midi control and editing will be top class.

ok. New MPC Live has the TS, yeah. As i saw some vids about it they just tapped on screen where the Note has to be and it was done. Right, thats nice and intuitive. But MPC Live is 1000+ ā‚¬ :wink: And if it is a hassle on the old MPCs - like you said - the Digitakt will still be the better alternative, as its just faster to place/edit the Steps. We all know that :slight_smile:

Iā€™m not really expecting anything. Moneyā€™s low and this isnā€™t high enough on my list to fully consider
