Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to tie two notes or more together in order to make a longer note that does not retrigger after each note? I know I’m able to do this with my Korg minilog and my mc707. I cannot seem to figure out how to tie notes together with the Digitakt.
Thank you
Digitakt II has a legato setting. Digitakt I does not.
Ok. I’m wondering if using a midi keyboard would do it since they are legato programmable?
That’s not going to work either.
There is no easy solution to this and honestly the best thing to do is buying a sampler that already has this function like the Digitakt II.
A not easy solution
If you can code I can tell you that it’s possible with a custom software solution, but not a simple one. Technically it can also be done with a BomeBox/Midi Translator, but it will be agony to take that route.
I am not a MIDI expert, but my sense of it is that legato is a property of the sound source. A keyboard can be told to not send a note-off command when notes overlap. But it depends on how the second note-on command that it does send is interpreted by the receiver. And I would be surprised if DT1 does anything other than retrigger at that point.

One workaround that might help you out is to set a “trigless trig,” AKA creating a yellow step instead of a red step in the sequencer.
It won’t work played live, but if you want to sequence, say, a legato drone that doesn’t restart, you can hold down FUNC and the step you want to change the pitch/note on, and then use either Pitch or Note to change just that value without restarting the sample.

Can you make a long note and p-lock pitch changes with trigless trigs?

Note length is on the trig page. It can be locked to steps manually or recorded in.

Are you trying to do this with samples or MIDI?
just looking at this and I don’t have the option to enable it for midi tracks…
I usually tie notes together with string, often in a half windsor.
