check if there are trigs in the gridmode. trigs can be trigless but not hidden. fight your fears! if you want to clear them, press func+clear(the play button). make sure to be in grid mode, otherwise you will clear the whole sequence.
clear lfos by pressing lfo+clear
unplug midi loopback cable, yo!
sample should play fine now.
some bonus goodies:
func+trig to change from and to chromatic playmode.
func+yes to save current pattern, tweak any sample parameter while holding TRK to change parameter for every track, func+no to reload your pattern.
Also, are there any controls on Digitakt for creating Arpeggios, similar to the incredible (and easy) options (multipliers, arp direction etc) on the Analog Four? thanks
which is a pity, cause their gear is so flexible they all lend themselves to defy title. their drum machines are great synths n their synths are wicked drum machines.
Retrigs and/or arps don’t get sent out over Midi do they? Could be a great workaround linking boxes together. How good would it be to occasionally trigger notes at 1/96 on the DN?
arguably the best drum sounds come from their synths
certainly a pity.
A4 with direct jump, scale per track and tempo per pattern could deliver some great retrigger effects now. But not as direct
Christ on a bike! I was already thinking of purchasing an OT on payday next week. This has just sold it to me 100%. My DT and DN are going to be in heaven. Thank you!
Short answer = no. (Not to me…)
I think it really depends on your experience with different types of synthesis / sampler hardware and dealing with different forms of menu navigation.
Personally I find the DT one of the most intuitive, efficient and well thought out peices of kit I’ve ever had the pleasure to use.
It does help to wear a welders helmet while using it though… some of the more modern gear is too damn flashy - I feel like I’m a freakin’ fairground ride operator. DO YA WANNA GO FAAAAAAAASTAAAAAAAA??
Do people really think there is too much in the DT? I find that be be extremely strange. Also, why so much confusion about the lights? They are easy to understand. And the brightness? Are some of you using your DT in a pitch black room? Turn on a lamp, the brightness is fine! Also, @weepwow, any arp you could imagine is at your fingertips instantly, just turn on live record, use keyboard mode or a MIDI keyboard, and play the arp you desire. If you aren’t able to play it fast enough, crank the tempo down super low and play it slow baby.
