Oh still no zero crossing detection or snapping
The OT’s reign supreme will continue!

@JoyrexJ9

was going off the EZBOT video

He clearly sates it’s not there /yet/

There is zero-crossing snapping using FUNC with START and END (and I believe LOOP). Maybe Ezbot is referring to using FUNC+POS which moves the whole segment.

Syntakt is perfect the way it is! (Don’t look for all my posts in the Syntakt Feature Requests thread )

But seriously, GREAT JOB Elektron! Slicing is such a big part of so many workflows, and the implementation looks really good to me so far (not a DT 2 owner yet). I just know this is breathing new life back into the device for so many.

Thanks again @Elektron !!!

It’s just ribbing on people who spend way too much energy on public demands only to move to the next set after getting gifted releases like these

Anyway, time to install on my end!

[ThomasJ]

In case anyone gets the kind of issues described below where the dialog can’t be closed (using the NO or YES button), they have since been resolved. We will improve this experience in a future firmware, but in the meantime - in case you can’t get out of the dialog, do one of the following (and then close the dialog) :

• Wait a couple of minutes until the samples have loaded in the background (more time for larger projects)

or

• Do an EMPTY RESET by using the STARTUP menu (holding FUNC during startup)

@raumglider

Im getting exactly that error, but how to formatthe +Drive? Because the alert covers the screen and I cannot go anywhere or to any menu. Restarting just does the file check again and will display error page again. How to get out of that alert?

@vollmero

I got the error that my samples got errors. Now, I try to format the xDrive, but nothings happens. I wait for the progress bar, but it´s not going further…

They actually did it. This is why Elektron always reels me back in - absolutely incredible support for these little boxes!!

[brian3kb]

My understanding is that the slice data will be stored in both the project file, and also within the preset files if that gets saved to one.

I’m going to spend some time to see if I can figure out the preset format for recreating it, if I can, I can expand on the XY preset generation workflow, no promises though!

Currently away visiting family in the UK, so I don’t have my DTII to hand at the moment to start taking a look.

The big feature everyone’s been waiting for.
Very last thing I wish is increased MIDI polyphony from 4 to at least 8+ and then it will be the ultimate all around sampler / grovebox / sequencer. Almost there Elektron

Oh still no zero crossing detection

Dave Mech says there is:

MANUAL SLICES for Digitakt II // OS 1.15 Update Deep Dive

EDIT: Also demos it here:

MANUAL SLICES for Digitakt II // OS 1.15 Update Deep Dive

[JoyrexJ9]

Yeah just installed it and had a play, if you zoom right in (finally having zoom is so good) and hold FUNC you can see it clearly snapping to crossings. Yay!

I don’t know what EZBOT was referring too saying it’s not there. @mpiecora ?

Can confirm that one shot machine hasn’t been touched so no zero crossings or zoom available there (for loop points)

[DaveMech]

Correct. That’s in the video as well

[FranKowo]

Thanks Elektron, great upgrade.

[shigginpit]

[moving_particles]

will the zoom and transient detection be coming to the one shot machine?

if not I can imagine this being my default machine.

I mentioned before but ping pong looping would make sustained sounds so much easier to make / it’s so useful for drums.

that to me is the last very low hanging fruit feature I’d like to see.

thanks again Elektron!

[captain8]

The Digitakt 2 has transient detection now ya barney sods!!!

[boorch]

of course no rush! in case you’re in London, let me know if you want to grab a pint

[boorch]

exactly. pingpong loop and my life will be complete

[natehorn]

How would you know if someone is using it though?

The thing with fixing problems is that generally people stop talking about those problems

Regardless I think their implementation is simple and effective - not much to hate about them providing useful stuff

[delikinesis]

The mk1 song mode “gotcha” that is brought up constantly here actually proves the banger-less feature requesters’ point, because Elektron’s Ui engineer himself said that he wasn’t happy with where they ended up with the feature - it was decent but shoehorned after the fact and cumbersome. There is a lesson there about asking companies to add features that weren’t integral to the initial device design, but it’s oversimplified to say “oh people will complain no matter what” when the designers themselves had issues with it

[bartlebytaco]

Damn! Been learning the MPC (and not enjoying the process lol) and now wonder if I should just sell it and finally get the DT2 instead, since I love my OG DT

[dfampp]

Yesssssssssss finally!
…maybe now a proper granular machine?
