Digitakt II gets a tasty boost with OS 1.15, introducing the eagerly-awaited Slice machine to the menu. Chop up and wield your sample slices however you like, opening up for new rhythmic and melodic exploration.
Slice is nice
Cut your samples up into as many as 64 editable slices. Deconstruct loops for wild implementation across your sequencer, and tap into unpredictable beat and melody variations with ease.
Create slice grid
Choose how many slices you want on your plate by placing an equally divided slice layout over the current sample. Or enable transient detection to adjust the slices according to your sample’s peaks.
Edit slice points
Use the slice editor to precisely adjust start, end, and loop markers for each and every sample. Link or unlink adjacent slices for creative control.
Random or Linear Locks
Assign slices to existing sequencer trigs - randomly for glitchy grooves, or linearly for straighter cuts.
Slice Trig Mode
Easily access your different slices using the trig keys, with the ability to reach every single one even if you’ve gone for the max number of slices.
Overbridge
To use Digitakt II OS 1.15 with Overbridge, please update to the latest version 2.21, released today alongside the OS.

Note: After upgrading to OS 1.15, the device will run a file system integrity check during its first reboot. This check can take up to a minute, and then you will be prompted to close the popup dialog.
If the integrity check detects any errors in the file system, you need to use Transfer to back up all your projects and samples on the device. Once the backup is complete, format the +Drive. Go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM > FORMAT +DRIVE. Tick SAMPLES, and then proceed with the formatting. After the formatting is done, use Transfer to import your previously backed-up projects and samples to your device.
