Introducing Digitakt II

Overall a really cool update, people will undoubtedly do amazing things with it.

Bummers for me:

No retrigs over MIDI
No slide trigs
No delay/reverb inserts per track
No loop crossfading? (thought I saw that in the loopop video)

I think thatā€™s just the metronome settings- I doubt it changes sequencer behavior

Ah yeah, you might be right.

For now. I do hope it will make it soon enough.

Donā€™t do that to meā€¦donā€™t give me that hopeā€¦

Loopop said max 2 channels MIDI in and out through USB, can that be right? Seems strange to me or maybe Iā€™m misunderstanding.

Iā€™ve been hoping for ā€œtrig skipā€ as a preferable method of implementing a break to the 4/4 box.

Could still do the diff time signatures, while also teeing up for some wild tricks

I havenā€™t seen the manual with the site down. But even 4 is not enough. I got an OB-6 and a P-6. The internal sequencer jumps back to start when switching presets. So itā€™s gets thrown off grid when being slaved to MIDI clock. Makes me wish I still had an MPC.

Customizable to the ones you want. 4 mod trigs for 4 fingers readily available. A god-tier kind of UI/UX decision.

Here you have to enter a menu and select through a drop down so not going to be as accessible by comparison from what I see. Either way on Syntakt or Digitakt II the retrigs still arenā€™t quantized in live play which is a bummer.

Iā€™m right there with you. This and other workflow improvements, quality of life stuff, etcā€¦ very nice!

That would be cool as hell. It would add a really interesting additional performance layer.

This alone is kinda making me want to upgrade. That sounds phenomenal

Not individual tracks via Overbridge, unless there was an update I missed?

I think he was referring to audio - Two channels (i.e. a stereo pair) IN and OUT.

How many voices? Anyone know?

It doesnā€™t match the slice points to zero crossings for the reasons you mention :slight_smile:

16 stereo audio voices, three send
effects (chorus, delay and reverb), and master effects (compressor, master overdrive).

Any idea on when these will roll out? I ordered one early this morning and got a ā€œTBDā€ messageā€¦

Hmm, i would have liked to see some more fx, to be blown away, granular, scatter, other reverb flavours. Better macro control.

Thanks for checking, sounds good. Iā€™m hoping this could pave the way for some kind of automation lane/track in song mode so we could record parameter changes into a song without them resetting on pattern changes.
