Things I find most dissappointing about DT sequencer

Thank you guys this answer a lot of my questions i keep an eye on the thread because I’m interested on DT and DN sequencers so i stop wasting my time and maybe later now i go for the octa mkI

I was thinking about this some more, and I got excited about an idea.

I think the conditional trigs are really cool because they kind of remind me of operations in code. You can get real creative and make really complex sounding things happen with the right logic and combination of operations.

Perhaps this could be done with an LFO somehow; wouldn’t it be cool to have an iterative operator that just basically increments by one, each time the pattern plays through once?

You could make this constantly affect the program change command being sent out a midi channel to tell the other DT/DN to constantly move forward by one after playing a pattern, and this could be stopped by just muting the button for the corresponding midi channel. To loop back to any earlier pattern within the series, just manually trigger it.

This sounds like it would be a fun workflow that could promote creative improvisations.

No edge here mate, just replying to the OP’s question. I think I’ve contributed some pretty heavy knowledge to this discussion. What you think makes literally, no difference, in how I feel minute to minute. You are the one that chooses to expend mental anguish over my simple request of Elektron as a consumer. Maybe worry about yourself a bit more and less about what I think.

I said it once, and I’ll say it again, if the next firmware update doesn’t work for me, I’ll be selling the DT, plain and simple. It’s a crippled device in my opinion, and hopefully a more robust firmware is on the way. If not - oh well.

Out of interest, does the MIDI sequencer built into Digitone address any of these issues? If so maybe these will come to DT.

I know the Program Change “bug” (or whatever we agreed to call it) hasn’t been addressed and there is no song mode, but it looks like you can set user scales on the keyboard. Can that be used on external MIDI tracks?

How about Track Transpose? I thought I read someone said that has been implemented. Can you transpose individual tracks up and down or only whole patterns?

Anything else?

Elektron Confirmed to @Airyck its a bug on the digitone. Same one on the DT. Pattern changes are not functioning properly.

This is my biggest qualm with the Elektron sequencer.

I’m not a huge fan of the almost-linear ramp shape of drum rolls when using Retrig with velocity. Would be great to have the option of exponential ramps for rolls/fills here – would make things less rigid-sounding i think… :slight_smile:

That has nothing to do with the issue presented, retrigs have a linear velocity map per retrig.
