Can samples in stretch mode be played chromatically via keyboard?

First impression: The factory stuff is great and organized a lot better. The new filters are great in combination with CTRL ALL.
But iâm loading samples on and it takes a hell of a lot longer to fill 6GB

What is the best way to kill a sound or tail when switching to another pattern?
Since I havenât used a digi in years, I forgot.
A.2.3 STRETCH
BARS
Bars sets the total duration of the sample measured in bars and is relative to the set BPM.
But how many bar max ?
Ahh thanks for clarifying 
The videos I saw, it looked like we only had 1 filter, that you selected from the menu.
I obviously missed something there.

Could use a trigless trig at the start of the next pattern

Thatâs a huge boon for the TR8S! Being able to copy pages (âVariationsâ in TR8S parlance) to other pages and work on them while theyâre not being played is a super fast way to make tweaks before bringing them in.
I would love for this to be do-able on the DTII. Loop the first 4 pages, copy page 1 to 5. Go to page 5 and makes tweaks. Copy 5 to 6,7,8. Set loop to 5,6,7,8.
Tweak page 1. Copy 1 to 2,3,4. Set loop to 1,2,3,4. etc.
Itâs wicked being able to do this on the TR8S.

I am planning on postponing this as long as I can. Just to limit myself to the stock samples and what I sample directly into it. See how far I can get (and limit myself a bit, because I will otherwise be scrolling and auditioning until my creativity has fled back to his mama).

Yeah that was my plan as well but I didnât have a stereo cable to sample from my phone or recorder yet for some reason. And it doesnât feel right to sample in mono now 
But now itâs been loading for quite a while and I donât want to pause it in the middle.
The factory stuff is quality though

ordered the minute they became available in Elektron webshop (around 11:30pm). arrived to me (london) in ~36 hours. genuinely surprised.

The legacy LP/HP filter is still here.
There is also a 4-pole LP filter.
I donât really observe a digital character to the sound tbh, and even tend to add some with the SRR pre-filter.
Maybe youâve heard people using BR/SRR, youâll have to try it yourself to be sure,
Cause YT is not precisely hifi.

Not possible to loop all tracks ? Doesnât seems convenient, and a pity for live performanceâŚ

I think it does if track length is per pattern. Have to confirm this.

I donât know if this was posted somewhere already, but someone asked us if multi-sampling was possible on the DT2 so I experimented a bit. Hereâs how to setup velocity layers (play a different sample depending on the velocity):
- Create a sample chain of 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 samples with the samples going from lowest to highest intensity. You can use any DAW or a tool like OctaChainer for this. The samples in the chain need to be spaced equally, so be sure to use a grid.
- Load the sample chain into a grid machine
- Set the grid machineâs âSlice Gridâ parameter to the number of samples in your chain (e.g. 8)
- Be sure that the âSlice Selectâ and âSlice Lengthâ parameters are set to 1
- FUNC + FLTR > Velocity mod
- Set the modulation destination to âSRC:Slice Selectâ and the modulation depth to the number of samples in your chain (e.g. 8.00).
- FUNC + FLTR > Velocity to vol: off
This prevents the velocity from additionally controlling the sample volume, which is counterproductive since thatâs usually already taken care of by the different hit intensities in the sample chain.
Hereâs a quick test with a sample chain of 8 acoustic snare hits with different intensities:

yeah and now that theyâve revamped the platform and made it even better for improvements just imagine how it would be if they implemented a new Slice machine with all the trimmings 
if they bring anything else to the DT2 I hope itâs that!

Thank you for responding. I remember someone writing about a certain bump around 6000 Hz in DT1, I wonder if this is what made its pleasing âsoundâ for meâŚ
I think some objective technical investigation may be in order, someone can record from a white noise or a sine sweep sample on DT1 and DT2 with overbridge/good converters and we can have look at the spectrum.
Iâm not saying it sounds necessarily bad. But different.
Iâll soon know if I can adapt.
Thanks confirming it works ! Was on my to do list.
