USB EXT Not possible since 1.03A. Elektron working on it.
I downgraded to 1.02 but the level is 12 db lower than MAIN with ON LR.
So to match IN LR, I have to increase by 12 db in iPad, and 18 db in DT2. 30 db ! Enough headroom for sure…

Did not find any info on that, thx for sharing.
IF they provide 12V via PD, the should last for 5-6h, at least my 18Ah Powerbank lasts that long with my Syntakt.

Can you please expand on the MIDI notes overlapping? I don’t recall this being an issue with multiple trigs in the past, as I overdub MIDI parts frequently.
My experience was primarily internal trigs but overlapping notes held past pattern end would blank out existing notes when in record mode.
At one time, sequenced midi notes cut each other off. I think the OG DN changed this behaviour and it seems to be incorporated into all the boxes now. I may be mistaken that it’s a new behaviour for DTII, as @sezare56 mentions.

Possible since Digitakt release I think, this was overlooked at first. IIRC, I am not 100% sure, but I think I remember that one because I was always saying OT was better…
What gear are you using ?
Not possible with Elektrons unfortunately…
Notes can overlap, but can erase previously recorded notes…

We’re talking about different things. I don’t mean overdubbing on the same step, but if you strike a note (or chord) during realtime recording on another step and hold it, it’s absolutely possible to overlap more than four MIDI notes on different triggers.
We apparently both talking about overdub and overlap…
I am saying you can’t overdub, on same step or on a free step with overlap on previously recorded steps without erasing them.
Notes can overlap at first recording, recorded on different steps, different lengths.
You can record additional steps without erasing previously recorded steps if there is no overlap. I’d rather call it punch in/out, not overdub.

Interesting, I didn’t realize that you actually can’t overlap them. I’ll have to do some more experiments; what you’re saying is that if you hold a chord while realtime recording MIDI past the step that another previously-recorded trig is placed, the original one disappears? I was almost sure even the original DT handled this “elegantly” - at least in the sense that the original trig would stay there and the new one would have a length parameter that reflected the actual length of time you held it, even if you’ve looped around. Perhaps I’m wrong.
I’d like to be wrong…
With DN2 you can layer notes from other tracks. But it takes 2 voices per note.

As this is digitakt 2, the way it’s done on digitone 2 is irrelevant.
Might as well be talking about hapax or something … different device.
1.1 Looping the recorded sample in the recorder without holding FUNC + Yes and 1.2 still be able to play through are definately two overlooked features in one 
I came across it by accident and thought it was a bug…
- Playing each slice in GRID Mode chromatically when one slice is selected via sample page, is also overlooked. Maybe even overlooked on the DT1.
Cheers!
On all Elektrons, overlapping notes erase previously recorded ones. I find it annoying. Digitakt have midi tracks, 4 notes per track. You can’t overdub.

Ok , but digitone2 can do 16 notes and each is editable in a table , different to digitak2
So that is a big difference.
If they’ve all been like this for decades then I’d guess many people work around it / sell the gear if it’s a deal breaker.
Anyway it doesn’t work on any Elektron.
No workaround to record live playing, you have to use an external sequencer for such a basic feature. I am not used to it after 10 years.
Do you sell your gear systematically when something important is missing ?
Overlooked missing feature.
1.1 what?how?

I have sold gear if features are missing / I don’t like how they’re implemented… but mostly if they’re buggy and every time I turn it on I find bugs and the company shows no sign / ability to fix them.
This sounds like it’s intended … and ‘how things are’ , esp if it’s on all their gear for decades.
Let’s move on … it’s never bothered me .
It potentially bothers all people using live recording to record notes.
A lot of bad things lasting for decades in the world should change…
No.
Why defending the indefensible ?
Record a sample and use top right encoder (d) to switch between the playback modes.
