Digitakt II 1.02/1.03 : Bug reports

Adding to what sezare says here, you can also turn off tracks receiving midi in midi config > channels. By default tracks 1-8 receive those channels, turning all off should fix it.

this has happened to me once too. Had to power off as well.

Hello. Does any anyone try control all in song mode?
I exclude some effected tracks in cntrl all configs. And start jam with cntrl all in song mode and itā€™s super random glitching. Somtimes itā€™s works and somtimes itā€™s effect all tracks even that that I was exclude. After this I back into cntrl all configs menu and itā€™s back like I wasnā€™t set it up

Not yet. It worth a try to checkā€¦

Control All is per-pattern, so if youā€™re combining multiple patterns to make a song, I guess thatā€™s why it seems to be glitching.

Also, Control All still works on tracks that have been disabled from the Config if youā€™re actually Control All-ing from one of the disabled tracks - a feature, not a bug, but one I donā€™t likeā€¦

I donā€™t send Midi from Logic, or to Logic. As I said already.

Did you check with a midi monitor ? As you said tracks 1-8 were set to VEL 1 when you quit Logic, it seems midi related, especially because tracks 9-16 midi channels arenā€™t activated.
Thatā€™s a guess, but Iā€™d search more around thatā€¦

Definitely agree

Yeah I know this. That was songs that I made from one patern.

Didnā€™t know second thing about that you need cntrl all from tracks. Itā€™s realy stupid if itā€™s like this because I canā€™t remember settings for all paterns.

Anyway itā€™s not changing situation. Somtimes it just drop off all tracks like I newer made any settings in cntrl all config menu.

Today I will try reproduce it and record video

Wondering if anyone have tried to use MUTE DEST to ableton via USB. I cannot have it working.
With midi monitoring I see midi notes coming in, cc encoders, but no mutes, also trigs are instead always sending even if I disable the feature in settings.

This is the only logical explanation.

You might not but Logic might do this when shutting down. Just check it with USB midi disabled, or with the receiving channels 1-8 disabled on the DT2 to see if this makes a difference.

Iā€™m experiencing the same symptoms, when CCs are mapped to external gear from a dkt2 midi track, even if the specific track does not have any sequence information on it. It seems CC are still sent out and makes random parameter changes to the controlled external gearā€¦ are these the only CC numbers that are affected?

Did you create a support ticket? Sounds like itā€™s hard to work around.

In Logic uncheck this:
Main menu \ Settings \ MIDI \ Reset Messages \ ā€œControl 4 (Foot Control) to zeroā€
(CC 4 in Digitakt is mapped to velocity.)

Hey all! Iā€™ve got a digitakt II and something unusual happens. When I set the step length to anything above 64 steps, a quiet and high pitched buzzing starts coming from the headphone out. It goes away when I set the step length back below 64. To make matters even more unusual, the buzzing goes away when the master output is set to 100% and is loudest when the master output is somewhere around 70%. I am plugged directly into a high quality rack power conditioner and have nothing plugged into audio in, audio out, or midi, aside from the headphones out.

Let me clarify.

As a start, I just formatted the plus drive and factory reset. From a completely blank project, with no sequencer running, when I change the sequencer pattern length above 64 steps, the buzzing starts (quiet, high pitched, and only out of the left ear). No trigs placed, sequencer is off. When I bring the pattern length below 64 - no problem. I also have replicated with the main L+R outs - same issue but slightly quieter for some reason.

USB audio test - recording audio over USB has no issue at all.

Headphone out test - Produces the buzz in recording.

Main L+R test - Produces the buzz in recording.

Either a hardware defect or perhaps a power quality issue. Try a power conditioner?

Using a high quality rack mount power conditioner. Just submitted a support ticket. Thank you for the response.

Wow yeah, thatā€™s weird.

Just to say youā€™ve done each to no avail, I would try swapping the headphones, try using it without the USB connected, and directly into the wall outlet (not through the conditioner.)

Hi, are you saying that if you set the trig length on the trig page to anything above 64 that the buzzing starts without the sequencer running, no trigs placed, but when you bring it back below 64 the buzzing goes away without any further interaction?

Or is this in the sampling screen and youā€™re setting the step length for gated length based recording?

Or something that is neither of the things that I said? Because to be frank, thatā€™s a pretty damn weird bug. There is a bugs thread, if you want to check there, but I havenā€™t heard of this before based on what I think I understand it is that youā€™re indicating the problem to be.

Not implying that youā€™re doing anything wrong, but if we can rule out user error which is the same thing you always want to do when something is incomprehensible, I would definitely suggest reporting it as a bug and possible even filing a trouble ticket with Elektron support.

If anything, Iā€™d make sure that monitoring for the external input is off (in the mixer section or monitoring for sampling) just to rule that out as a source of line noise, however why it would only begin at 64 steps and 70% gain is beyond me. FWIW my understanding is that 100% gain on the volume pot represents a line level signal, and the analog volume pot just attenuates up to line level, but I canā€™t think of a correlation.

Can you try this over USB monitoring audio through your computer? We should be able to tell whether or not the buzzing is a product of the analog outputs/volume pot since USB audio bypasses them and they can be shut off as a menu option.
