I’m a new Elektron user. Hi.
I read the Digitakt manual three times and I understand the basic differences between samples and sounds. But being able to do similar operations in multiple places threw me a bit. Could somebody could check my notes to see if I’m mistaken or missing something somewhere?
Thanks!
- SAMPLES must be loaded into a project to be used on a track or to be available for p-locking.
- SOUNDS don’t have to be loaded into a project if they’re simply being applied to a track. But SOUNDS must be loaded into a project to allow p-locking.
- SOUNDS loaded into a project become independent copies of the +Drive version and are saved with the project. If a SOUND isn’t loaded into a project, that project is referencing the SOUND directly from the +Drive (<- still not sure about that last part. Isn’t the SOUND being saved with the project even if it isn’t loaded into the POOL?).
- There are three ways to load SOUNDS directly to tracks …
i) FUNC+LEVEL/DATA -> YES
ii) IMP/EXP -> IMPORT SOUND -> YES
iii) MANAGE SOUNDS -> RIGHT MENU -> IMPORT TO TRACK -> YES - There is only one way to load a sound into the SOUND POOL without applying it to a track at the same time …
i) MANAGE SOUNDS -> COPY TO -> SOUND POOL - There are two ways to save a sound to the +Drive …
i) IMP/EXP -> EXPORT SOUND
ii) MANAGE SOUNDS -> EXPORT TO HERE - There is one way to unload a sound … MANAGE SOUNDS -> LEFT MENU -> VIEW POOL -> RIGHT MENU -> DELETE
- There are two ways to load (existing) SAMPLES into a project …
i) FUNC+SRC -> FUNC+YES -> YES
i) SAMPLES -> select -> RIGHT MENU -> LOAD TO PROJ - There is one way to unload a SAMPLE … SAMPLES -> VIEW RAM -> UNLOAD
- SAMPLES aren’t loaded into a project in the same way as SOUNDS - they are loaded into RAM but always reside as a single copy on +Drive.
