3rd party Project / pattern managers
For A4

[FUNC] SaveProj - a project and pattern manager for Analog Four

Hi guys, a quick update: I just released a version of [FUNC] SaveProj for Digitone. In it I managed to implement support for Transfer files (.dnprj), working on any project without switching it on the device, and fixed the most annoying thing of the A4 version - long upload time. In the future I will retrofit these features also for the Analog Four app, but right now the focus is to continue making it available for other devices.

For DT

[FUNC] SaveProj DT - pattern manager for Digitakt

Hey everyone, the next milestone has been completed and [FUNC] Save Proj is now available for Digitakt! Just like for A4 and DN, you can drag and drop items (songs, patterns, samples and sounds) within one project and between different projects. All dependencies are respected when you’re selecting and moving items. Only the LFO link to the sample slot is ignored, so keep it in mind. Differently from the A4 and DN versions, this one is (A) for Linux (I will soon work on bringing it to Windows …

For DN

[FUNC] SaveProj DN - pattern manager for Digitone

So true. I find project management on Elektron devices and in hardware in general to be a massive pain. It seems to work well at the beginning but I always hit a wall at some point and finally give up on using a hybrid setup.
