Anybody got a nice solution on how to make nice custom trance gates with some voice sample on DKII?
I could manage on OT with Trigless trigs that triggered onehot LFOs, but I cannot make it happen with on DKII. I miss the trigless trigs here and the oneshot LFOs.
Or do i completely miss something here? Rereading the DKII manual didn’t help me neither.
I would be thankful for any help.
Just for clarity, I am trying to accomplish something like he is doing in Ableton:
Cheers to all of you!
Not sure if trigless trigs trig the lfo
Why not just plock with volume?you need 2 trigless trigs, one vol down and one volume back up (or reset)… decide what is the best distance from one another… copy both and past where needed, maybe double the speed of the sequencer to create space for the trigs if needed
What i like to do is to gate my noise wash with a square lfo on volume, and then a anothe lfo on the multiplier of lfo1 —> this way i can vary the size of the gate
program the gate rhythm as trigs
on the sample:
slow saw lfo, hold mode, to sample start
Trigless trigs do not trig the LFO ime.
Volume plocking is a sweet simple option! Love it! Thank you. So simple…I wonder why my brain does not come up with the obvious… hahah
As I understand what you say, it would imply that with each trig the sample gets triggered, and with the LFO you design the gate effect.
What i find beautiful is, that the sample plays and changes in the background, while the gate rhythm chops it up. Especially with long voice samples this sound nice. Your option would not allow this, as with each trig the sample gets triggered again. Trigless trigs do not trigger the LFO ime.
You can still use trigless trigs. By default they don’t trigger the LFO, but if you go to the first “trig” page you can p-lock the “LFO.T” control on to make them trigger the LFO.
No, the gate effect is designed with the trigs, trigh length, retrigs (and Amp), like a normal sequence.
The LFO makes the sample (start) advance despite the trigs and retriggering.
You can even make the sample ping-pong loop, if you use Triangle instead of Saw shape. Perfect time stretch comes for free.
It’s the most elegant solution.
Wouldn’t simply a saw wave LFO on the amp volume do what you want while the sample is playing? Then you can p-lock the LFO to double the speed or set zero volume to skip the 4th step like he shows in the linked video (0:57).
Could you resample the phrase, then use grid mode to chop it up and put trigs on every step, then turn the amp hold and decay for each step down so you have a short gated trig each step.
This is easy to do:
Load a long sound into a track
SRC: set start = 60.00, everything else default (play fwd, no loop)
AMP: hold time = 10, decay time = 20 – mess with these to your liking
MOD: dest = src start, dep = 60.00, wave = saw, mode = free running, mult = BPM 1, speed = -16.00 (but play with this, depends on your sample, and how many bars in your pattern)
Now set various trigs as desired. I start with all 16 in a one bar track, then take some out.
Nice to add:
FX: reverb = tons!, delay = just a touch
Add the FILL condition to a few trigs and have a performable gate effect 
Hello everyone. I’m new to the Digitakt II and just received mine yesterday.
There are several posts in this thread that refer to “trigless trigs” and yet there’s no mention whatsoever of such a thing in the current version of the user manual.
Has the nomenclature of that feature changed? If so, what’s it called in the manual?
It’s called Lock Trigs now.
A-ha! Thank you very much.
Oh fuck, what are you doing with the LFO there??? How come it runs through the sample while placing multiple trigs on the sequencer? The SRC start is set to the middle of the sample, then the LFO scrubs somehow through it. Somehow I do not get whats going on.
The AMP settings are the gate, this I understand, but the LFO is somehow mystical to me… 
I interpret as if the LFO takes over the playback of the sample.
awesome technique! thx for this!!
@Jeanne gave you an answer 4 days ago?
Try this:
Setup like I said, but don’t set the MOD at all.
Then set all 16 trigs on the track and press play.
Now, go to the SRC page and play with the Start knob (E) smoothly and slowly…
See how you can have the notes move through the sample? What’s happening is that you are changing where the sample will play from each time it is triggered…
When you add in the MOD settings, all the LFO is doing is twisting the Start parameter knob for you.
