Introducing Song Mode on Digitakt, Syntakt, Digitone and Digitone Keys

Is it possible to live record them? I was only aware of the ability to toggle them in the song menu thingy.

Yes, when you toggle the pattern mutes when the song is playing it saves that state

@sezare56 it doesn’t seem there’s a temp area type implementation or load from save, hope it’s in an update. Global mutes seem to work as an added layer of mute for performance, but I found using it that way pretty difficult.

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed when I have most of the tracks muted (say for a breakdown), I get a lot of pop/background clicks from tracks that are muted…

Is anyone else having this issue, it’s not great

Which device?

Digitakt, it’s coming through (loud!) when all tracks are muted… can I revert back to the latest 1.3? I have attached an example here, iPhone voice memo close to headphones. Coming from both headphones jack and little quieter in L + R outputs

Is it related to the power at my house? Seems odd, never had this issue before

Only seems to be happening on the track that I was working with song mode on, testing a different project/pattern without song mode and I don’t hear it

See my thread here working through the issue:

Seems related to your…METRONOME ! :rofl:
Or your power house is set to 120 bpm 4/4, controlled by DT. :wink:

Just mute the metronome…,🤷🏽

“Recording” Control All with song mode…

I prepared a song with patterns 1-16, each one being 2 step long.
Live rec of default sounds, poor playing, but nevermind with Control All !

Permanent Fill Mode:
I accidentally found a solution/workaround for the “page+yes”-problem. …maybe it’s also a bug…? no idea.

Just hit and hold “page” and hit “record” twice.

See:

Can be a useful bug. :content:
There is something similar with OT, iirc you can latch Plays Free tracks or something…

A few bugs found!

  • Latching FILL mode does not work anymore :confused: (pressing YES + PAGE to activate FILL for one pattern cycle, or PAGE + YES and releasing PAGE before YES fto enable “permanent” FILL mode). But the the PAGE + double REC press bug still works. Maybe the official feature has been removed, but it still in the manual.
  • In the keyboard setup menu, only one pressed black key can be seen at the same time. Moreover, any pressed black key stops being displayed as pressed as soon as any other TRIG is pressed. It’s only cosmetic though, as the pressed keys are still working even if they’re not displayed as pressed on the screen (use chromatic mode on a MIDI track to verify this)

Awesome update otherwise!

Do you think it would be possible to add master system tuning for ST and DN? :level_slider: :slight_smile:.

I like sound of the machines in general. They seem very clean. I am still curious if it would be possible to have more 33 sec. tracks on Digitakt and then do something like granular with all of them? Or layer them together while the sequencer is playing. I know there is memory that you can max out but how many 33. sec loops (in total) can you have on Digitakt?

Yeah remixing in stereo sounds like fun. I might end up getting Octa for that. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:.

These machines really made my day today. ^_^.

33s is max recording time for DT, but I think you can play longer samples, using RAM, theoretically 14 minutes max for 1 sample. So you should be able to play 8x33s samples (or longer ones) without problems…

Yeah so like recording max 33. sec, then saving it to a track. Rinse and repeat until I max it out?

It will get summed to a mono signal but if I will play with panning and fx then the output will be stereo via a L/R input setting on w/e?

Give it a try !

Hello to everyone.I searched for a similar post but didn’t find one.Although I’m sure I saw this discussed on Facebook groups.

Has the fill latch been removed on 1.40 on Digitakt?It was a feature I really used a lot since I play along with Model samples and I used latch fill a lot with control-All pattern reload.

Model samples has the perfect implementation with Track+Page.I can’t remember if we have a shortcut for something in the Digitakt that uses this combo.If not,I really wish it could be used like that.Easy and unified.
