But can I do that to edit note of the trigs?
Iām away from my DN. Have you tried it?
Hold the trigs you want the chord on, hit chord with external keyboard. Continue making music. Or, select trig and Func+Copy, then select new trig and Func+Paste!

Thanks, so I cannot do what I want internally, thatās a bit saddeningā¦
For how I produce that would have been very handy to be able to select multiple trigs for which I want to edit the notes
Iām back with my DN2 now, and definitely one can hold multiple trigs and edit those notes simultaneously with the A encoder on the Trig page while in grid recording mode. I would have thought it strange if one could do that for the other encoders but not the one controlling note value, but my memory is not the best, so I needed to try it to make sure.

didnāt want to start a whole thread for this, but didnāt know where to post general questions about the digitone 2. Iām currently pretty confused while trying to play with some trig conditions in a pattern. As far as i understand, the NEI conditions are relating to the track BEFORE the one with the condition correct?? thats how the manual reads to me. but im having a problem where it is not working properly.
im just having page 1 looping to troubleshoot. on track 10, i have a trig down on 1, 5, 9, 13 w a probability of 50%. on track 11, i have a trig down on 1, 5, 9, 13 with a probability of 100% with NEI(with the line above it) as a condition. and while track 10 is randomly skipping them 50% of the time, track 11 is playing all 4 unconditionally. am i misunderstanding how that condition works?
Iām guessing based on the OG Digitone (donāt have the new one yet). But I think you have to P-lock the probability values on the steps, not the general probability value. So, try p-locking each of the 50% trigs of track 10.

am I the only one having a hard time to understand how designers intended / designed the pool feature?
It honestly drives me crazyā¦ itās still fast for sound locks but a pain to set as track sound. Or am I overseeing something?
Are there not Sound Banks to build your Sound Pool from?. I thought that Sound banks were for tracks and Sound Pools are for trig insertion.
so there are two kind of sound banks now? I thought it would have been smart to add an additional bank called sound pool to the sound banks I can select in that one particular submenu ā¦ probably Iām overseeing one thingā¦?
I dont have a DN2 so it could be different but originally you had Sound banks that were used like presets, then they made the Sound pool so you could use those presets on individual trigs without affecting the whole track sound. Sound pools are specific to a project and need to be constructed, although that may have changed.
yeah itās now way more complex ā¦ look into the manual maybe to get a grasp. I should probably as well 
You have the +Drive that stores 8 Banks of hundreds of Presets and is available from every project.
And the Project Pool, that you can load with several Presets at once (I use Bank P, select all, load to Pool).
Pool is handy for Preset locks, if you need e.g. both close and open hat on the same track.
Itās accessible from every Pattern in one Project.
Every Preset loaded to a track is copied, so you can change the parameters and it wonāt change the +Drive or Pool Preset it was copied from.

Yeah, I understand that. Just a few things gotten really difficult to doā¦ like try to set a sound without leaving the menu (it works but with the sensitivity of the encoder youāll succeed probably only every 5th time).
Itās not a perfect execution in terms of usabilityā¦ like some things are missing in the menu ā¦ and itās sometimes just ā¦ feels a bit not fully thought through. Just one layer too much imhoā¦ would work if there actually was a bank P. Hm.
You can do this
Currently, itās apparently missing from Note Edit functionality (i think thereās a good case to ask for this to be added)
However, if you have access to a separate keyboard and connect this via the DNIIās auto channel you can select (or create) as many trig notes as you like (in grid record mode) and then play the chord in via the external keyboard
this allows you to set a chord for every held trig
This functionality could potentially be added to Note Edit too imho - you are just selecting a cluster of trigs to set the same - obviously if the existing trigs have different notes some choice about what happens next is in the hands of the developers
You can also copy multiple trigs at one time, even if there are gaps and other notes in between
But if you paste, you must paste at the first (and a single trig only) position and the trigs spacing and contents will be preserved
this can speed up a grid record sequencing workflow where you want to change/set many trigs in a similar way

I used to use the pool heavily on the original DN, but with the voices of the DN II, I havenāt once felt the need to lock a sound. I may eventually, but up to now, I just havenāt. Thatās even with being frivilous like layering sounds, or using two tracks to make variations to play with of the same sound. Itās not out of laziness, though it is a luxury. Itās just that with the extra voices, I focus that effort into other aspects of my tracks.

On DT 2, Iāve been using the Preset Pool as a āsound boardā for risers, sound effects, etc, to punch in while playingāworks great like this on Digitone 2, as well.
On DN2 punching in the Preset Pool sound replaces the sound of the track thatās playing for as long as you hold it down, follows that trackās RT rate while holding, and keeps the Presetās arp settings. Lots of performance potential there.

for sound locks it works as expected thoā¦ basically nothing changed from DN I to II. Iām talking about something different. Using the pool as kind of āprojectā sound pool you just add vibe sounds you need for this track / pattern / project. Maybe there is a feature in Kits Iām not using / overseeing that does thisā¦
