Jupiter 4 samples mapped into Digitakt 2 sampler

The Lounge General Discussion

I’ve got my hands on a load of great Jupiter 4 oscillator samples, about 20 single hits, which I’ve mapped in Ableton’s sampler from -C5 to C4. With the right tweaking, it sounds perfect.

Getting pretty tired of Ableton and considering getting a Digitakt, so wanted to know if I could do something like this on the Digitakt 2? I know about the single cycle oscillators, but I want something that is higher quality. Also, what would the polyphony be if this is possible?

Thanks
(I did read the manual and look at a lot of YouTube videos, nothing is very clear)

The DTII is monophonic.

There are ways to fake/hack polyphony by loading the same sample onto multiple tracks and using something to select the tracks in a round robin fashion. I believe Retrokits has a device that helps achieve this.

Great. This looks interesting. I’ve seen some other hacks. Doesn’t the D2 have four note polyphony? Reading that from the manual. Maybe it refers to something else.

Nope. Strictly monophonic. :slight_smile:

I’m slightly confused. It won’t play two drum hits or two notes at the same time? Sorry if this is obvious to most people.

On one Audio Track, you can’t play more than one Sample on a Step but you can play Samples on the same Step if you use other Audio Tracks. The 4-note Polyphony is only possible with MIDI Tracks.
