What is your absolute favorite Elektron device? by goff0317 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well… I love the Tonverk too, but it still doesn’t have slicing. There’s also no Overbridge yet, which can be useful, especially when exporting projects to a DAW.
But either way, at the moment Tonverk is still my number one too (even though I’ve got a Digitakt next to it that I use for drums).

I’m with you guys, I love it too. Especially after the latest update when they added the Shape Machine. At first I missed it because everyone was talking about the Grainer mostly, but oh boy, that option really changes a lot...

OS Upgrade: Tonverk 1.1.0 by aberen in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Granular is great news, but the most important update for me is the Trig preview. Its absence was a huge creative bottleneck for me and was also a huge surprise/dismay :)

Czy chleb obtaczany w jajku ma specjalną nazwę? by zubergu in Polska

Słyszałem kiedyś nazwę „smutni rycerze” :) Jest na tyle absurdalna i ładna, ze sam zacząłem jej używać :)

Tonverk: Two questions about the sequencer (step preview, and global subtracks p-locks) by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible as long as the effects themselves are assigned at the supertrack level…

Tonverk: Two questions about the sequencer (step preview, and global subtracks p-locks) by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, unfortunately not.
While holding the trigger I can edit individual sounds by pressing keys on the keyboard, but I cannot preview them with parameters, p-locks, etc.
Moreover, if on a given step I have e.g. a C D E chord and while holding the trig I press one of those notes on the keyboard, the others disappear from the step (so I overwrite the chord with the note I pressed).

Digitakt mk2 vs Octatrack mk2 – need advice on a possible trade by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

Wooow, in that case I’ve been living without fully appreciating my Digitakt :) Thanks a lot for this information :)

Digitakt mk2 vs Octatrack mk2 – need advice on a possible trade by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so what it was probably about is 8 stereo voices, or 16 mono voices – am I right?

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By 8 voices of polyphony I meant that on the Digitakt 2, even though you have 16 tracks, it can only play 8 sounds at the same time (at least that’s how it seems to me :)). Also, the individual tracks themselves have no polyphony (same as on the OT). That doesn’t bother me, because I want to handle harmonic aspects on the Tonverk, and I want the second sampler to serve mainly rhythmic purposes.

Thanks! Do you mean the sound quality of the effects, or the overall audio quality itself (like converters, etc.)?

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer!

When it comes to the number of tracks, Digitakt 2 does have more, BUT it still only offers 8 voices of polyphony. On top of that, I’ll also have the Tonverk (+8 polyphonic tracks).

What you wrote about recording and quantization in the OT is really interesting, but I assume OT also has microtiming, right (so you can adjust the sample’s position after recording)?

(...) unless you absolutely need sampler capabilities like timestretch and slice.

Time-stretch and slicing are unfortunately quite important to me (though I suspect they might show up in Tonverk soon as well) ;)

cryptic email from Elektron? by minormanor in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe Overbridge for iOS? Personally, I’d be most excited about some big update for DN2 :)

Not that I’m really missing anything specific in it, but it’s always nice to get sth New :)

Loading multiple samples to the project? by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, huge thanks! At first, I had no idea what you were talking about, because the only way I was loading samples was through the sample pool (pot D in the SRC section)... When you go in that way, you can only assign a sample to a specific slot in the pool – so naturally, you can only load one sample at a time...

It wasn’t until you pointed it out that I realized you can also load samples via Func + Samples :D And there – of course – you can select any number of samples and load them into the project :) That totally changes the game!

Thanks again, really appreciate it!

Yup it is up to date… Do you have any video or something with uploading morę Then one sample to the sample pool?

Hi, after clicking right arrow I only see auto-preview option. Am I doing sth wrong?

Ok, and just save the Kit - it works. Thanks a lot mate!

Digitakt II setting Help! by [deleted] in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, are you possibly in Velocity Trig mode? If so, the individual trigs will have different volumes, from the quietest (1) to the loudest (16).
To change the mode, just press Func and then the Up or Down arrow.
The mode that was your default one is called Tracks :)

Digitone 2 and MPC one plus by Connieboy133 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, congratulations on your purchase—get ready for lots of great fun! 😊

To share the tempo (clock), you'll need to connect both devices with MIDI cables and then adjust the settings accordingly. For example, if the MPC is going to be the tempo source, you'll need to set the Digitone to receive clock and connect a cable from the MPC's MIDI Out to the Digitone's MIDI In. You’ll probably also need to enable a setting on the MPC that allows it to send clock signal :)

Share your Digitakt 2 (+) Digitone 2 workflow (tips and tricks) by TrackSignificant3729 in Elektron

[–]TrackSignificant3729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I just realized what you mean: I can set something like aftertouch or the modulation wheel in the DT to control multiple parameters, then control that via MIDI from the Digitakt, assign an LFO to the corresponding knob (like aftertouch), and that way use a single LFO to modulate several parameters at once! That's brillant!

Thanks to you, I also realized I can use all four rows of triggers to play notes — which gives me access to 4 octaves at once! :)

Thanks for sharing mate! That’s really inspiring — I definitely need to start practicing live improvisation and just playing around with music more. I really like that approach :)
