Cool - thanks 
Note that you could set Next to be none, and that would stop playing.
You can also have indefinite loops like A01 to A02 to A01, which might be a good thing.
I was exploring a simpler design with [PLAY] + [UP] to access a UI panel to set up everything.
I really do need to go read about song mode…
Honestly, any of the previous song mode iterations would suffice. There is no need to reinvent the wheel on this one.
Yes that’s true - I just skimmed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnE4rUa46SE
OT Arranger does a lot more than what’s needed for DT. A simplified version of that could be the best approach.
you could always use Reaktor Blocks to sequence your patterns [or Max or something like that…if you use a computer, your DAW]
with Logic, you could set the Environment up to change patterns from a keyboard. you could manually trigger all your gear to change patterns when you want them to.
Even the song mode from the Machinedrum would suffice. Simple and to the point.
Yep - I’ve done that in FL Studio… https://www.elektronauts.com/t/digitakt-ob-2-0-beta-fl-studio-20-1-1-build-795/73375/18?u=gino
I just think it’s a very useful feature in general (outside a DAW).
FWIW - I also read the some of the docs on Machinedrum http://www.elektron.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/machinedrum_manual_OS1.63.pdf so I see what you guys mean.
Ya of course.
Just offering solutions to use inna pinch.
i’d prefer to have the same song mode that’s on the monomachine (and i think, machinedrum)…OT’s arranger is essentially the same thing.
i never really liked the AR’s song mode though.
Ok - After reading and thinking a bit here is a 2nd design, then I’ll stop I promise! 
The concept here is to do something limited in case there’s a business intention for that.
And a small scope is easier to develop increasing the chance of it actually happening.
Maybe it’s just me, but one of the most enjoyable aspects of the DT is live arranging without a songmode. Lots of control available to build, switch and advance through prepared patterns and tweak/mute/swap.
Song mode is low on my list for a box designed for immediacy, freedom and improv.
Totally just my way of working at the moment … and I can fall back to OT, QY100/700 for master arranging.
I’d prefer to see enhancements to filters, sample edit and timestretch …
the link is broken? is not working for me, it tries to redirect somewhere else and not opening.
When I opened it yesterday on my phone, it was riddled with scam pop ups and fake alerts.
I’m not saying the developer is in any way to blame, but I wouldn’t install software from what appears to be a compromised site.
probably @fenixsong got his pass snitched by some other party. He’s a nice fellow who usually hangs around here though.
It’s a very odd behavior that happens on phones especially if not using https://
or links on the site. I’m not sure how it is happening. Try
and just hit the link to Digipad for now. Sorry, will try to fix it somehow.
I think I fixed the link problem too (for now…will have to do a deeper clean next)
Digitakt Song Mode: How To Video:
Hey, thank you for sharing it! I was about to make a new thread but that’s a perfect place.
Just as a quick intro this is a tutorial explaining how to use the MIDI loopback to create a Song Mode on the Digitakt. Nothing groundbreaking I’m afraid but I still see questions popping up from time to time so I thought I would do a little video about it! It’s a follow-up to my extensive MIDI loopback tutorial I made a while ago, you can find it here :
Hope this helps!<3
Internally connecting the midi out to midi in would require what, one jumper wire? There’s ample space to add an external switch to activate it. Quite a tempting mod…
Aha, tempting indeed! Maybe I’ll look into something like this once the warranty runs out, in the mean time I got myself a 10cm black MIDI cable to keep things tidy
