Oscillator Sink’s video got me interested in Digitakt-as-monosynth. Obviously this thing is meant to excel as a sampler/sequencer, but with the single-cycle waveforms it’s actually got a lot of potential as a pretty powerful monosynth, especially on a gig where you don’t want to bring too much stuff.
Far as I can tell (and please tell me with as many RTFM’s as you want if this feature exists and I’m missing it) the two things that you can’t do (at least not with a simple knob-turn) on the digitakt playing a single-cycle waveform that would make it a fully functional VA monosynth are:
keyboard filter tracking: seems like this could just be a parameter with amount on the second filter page, no?
and
glide: I understand less about this, but certainly Digitakt is capable of at least making this sound by turning the tune knob on the SRC page, so it must be code to make it so yeah?
in that same spirit: would be nice to have slew on the LFOs. moving smoothly (based on an amount knob) between settings would make using the random LFO in hold mode so much more organic-sounding…
