Seamlessly moving between tracks

How are you using the standalone Digitakt in a live gig?

I have a performance coming and want to use Digitakt by itself. Have six tracks prepped. But how do I move between them without stopping the track?

Nice transition trick. But with a more complex pattern which utilizes different stereo effects for different tracks, wouldn’t a mono recording of the loop be quite obviously?

How I work transitions when constructing a live perform is to look at each space that requires transitional material and attack it that way. I find there is no blanket technique for transitions.

One thing I will do is create a sequence where everything is muted but the kick and have that slowly morph into the next tracks kick while using the filter etc, during this sequence I will also slowly adjust bpm as well.

For me it’s a composition thing, writing individual transition sequences between tracks make me feel like I approaching one big composition rather than putting a handful of tracks together

then I add other stereo sounds, like stereo hihat, perc, etc…
the loop is mono, okay… not stereo
but the sound rolls on and a new stereo sounding sound can instantly be created

and the cool thing for me… it creates this DJ vibe mix through the live set
