Why are the DT's inputs labeled L/R?

If it sums to mono?

Am I missing something.

Some clues above and elsewhere …

Hmm still don’t get it.

Overbridge?

DT has many mysteries :slight_smile:
I have another one: why is it called “8 track Drum Computer & Sampler”. It sounds like it should have drum synth machines :wink:

The Tracks have a mono flow - i.e. a mono filter after mono playback - so that aspect is set

The External Ins are also useful if you want to use the device as an ad hoc sound card

You can also monitor and effect the stereo inputs in true stereo if you pan the mixer ext ins in dual mode - but it still samples in mono of course

Overbridge etc

What happens if I load a stereo sample in. Could I use up two tracks and hard pan the same sample left and right?

Any sample you put into the digitakt gets the left and right channels added together. There’s no stereo information to pan at that point. You would need to export the sample twice. One mono left channel file and one mono right channel file. Load two slots with those samples and then pan them to get the original stereo image. It’s not worth the hassle

Oh, now you’ve let the cat out of the bag.
That was one of the upcoming announcements.
Hope they’ve got a back up plan.
