Hi guys and gals,

I’m a Digitakt noob, new owner, just starting.
Could anyone help resolving the (my) mystery of the first pattern (Subaquatic) track 6:
It has trigs on 1, 3, 9 & 14.

  • Why do I hear trigs on every step?
  • How do trigs 3 & 14 shorten the (kind of) loop length, and sound like a double or tripple trigger?

I do understand the trigger conditions of trig 3 & 14

Excited! :smiley:

Hello, maybe some trig use the “retrig function” ? Hold the trig and press the up arrow to open the retrig menu and check if it is activated.
Retrig function will retrig the sound at a specific speed until another trig happen or the lenght is over.
