I recently got a used Digitakt off ebay and so I downloaded the User manual to read and get familiar with all it’s awesomeness when I noticed something on page 10 section 1.1 “Conventions In This Manual” where the last icon is of a steaming sausage with the word “Varmkorv” written out beside it. Confused by this, I searched these forums but found no mention of Varmkorv anywhere. Is this an inside joke that I’m missing? probably. LOL

It means hotdog, of course
Indeed! but…why is it in the manual? 
It’s just a test to see if you read the manual, you passed!

It’s the last graphic for the master compressor signal chain, which makes me smile every time I see it…

I honestly just think it’s a little joke, this is the only place I know that it definitely comes up in the manual other than the table of contents. I think it’s just saying something steaming hot and beefy is going to pop out of the machine.

i’ve seen people call very compressed audio samples “sausages” because they look like sausages in an audio editor. Because they are just totally flat / smooth:

Likely a reference to the sausage fattener plug-in:

Just shows that the people behind Elektron are real folks and like to be silly like the rest of us! One of the things I love about the company.

I think the plug in is a reference to whatever web lingo is displayed in the reddit post that has compressed tracks being referred to as sausages, but it’s definitely a revolving door where all of the evidence is reciprocally in support of each other’s existence.

Side note: you haven’t truly had a hot dog until you’ve had a Swedish tunnbrödsrulle.

Varmkorv is most often used about boiled sausages, grillkorv for grilled. Varm = hot, korv = sausage. Varm korv (notice the space between, pronounced with a pause between the words) can mean any sausage type in a warm state.
You CAN say varmkorv about grilled sausages etc, but it’s far less common
