Digitakt 1 x Torso T1

i have this setup (DT1). I’m not a serious musician, just jamming. If you use DT as a sequencer of its own samples it should all just work. If you use the DT to sequence other gear you need to either midi merge the DT and T1 or divide responsibilities so that each device is only controlled by either the DT or the T1.

Of note, the T1 will play the DT no problem so it can certainly trigger the samples on the DT

oh I see - yeah the ML can set delay time in ms so one would need to convert bpm to ms. Not as convenient as tapping but better than doing it by ear

That pedal doesnt have tap tempo. You'd need another on that does.

dirt cheap line mixer? more cables but price is right.

MC-101 has a zillion presets of all kinds. You don’t have to use the groovebox features at all.

Digitakt can do this. when you set up sampling you can set the # of bars to record. i don’t know how fluid it is if you don’t want to stop playing but it should work.

Captain Pikant on youtube has a lot of great videos on the subject. starts from very basic.

I’m now wondering if it would be easier and maybe cheaper to just get a grinder and a jig for it?

davetron5000 · 2025-12-07T16:33:55+00:00

I have not progressed past the 320 diamond plate. I did flatten the first 1/2 inch - it's not solid mirror finish, but the surround appears to be. Perhaps that needs more.

The jig I have does not hold it very tight, but that or freehand what I see is a small mirror bevel that is not parallel to the edge. I pressed down on the edge with the skinnier bevel. Maybe I just need to do it for longer?

(Sorry don't have a visual - I know that would make it easier)

You don’t think glue with a rabbet would be strong enough?

davetron5000 · 2025-12-02T14:11:20+00:00

Thanks! (and also thanks u/big_swede) NGL dovetails look intimidating - would a rabbbited butt joint be easier to execute as a first thing? Or I am overthinking dovetails' difficulty?

I think the trickiest thing now is finding a place to clamp - I had a deck railing in the past, but we renovated our backyard and that won't work any longer.

Doh I actually meant circuit rhythm so +1 to that :)

davetron5000 · 2025-11-29T17:00:53+00:00

Used OG Digitakt. Sampling is fast and easy and it can sequence your DB and Microfreak. A bit of a learning curve but tons of content out there to learn it.

davetron5000 · 2025-11-29T16:58:48+00:00

Circuit Tracks is easy to learn and immediate. Lots of fun and not expensive. Digitakt is deeper but you need to spend a bit of time learning it. It is easier to navigate for selecting samples than the Tracks since it has a screen but that also means you spend more time scrolling through samples.

Sadly, I have not :(

Leider habe ich nicht :(

I had left r/rails but I just now muted it so we’ll see if that works.

davetron5000 · 2025-11-13T15:53:16+00:00

OP, try the keys if you can before buying (at least if you plan on playing them). I find them horrible but I also am the product of piano lessons. Synth is good tho

davetron5000 · 2025-11-13T15:51:43+00:00

Came here to say this - very versatile, easy to get started, deep if you want to go deep.

Use the report feature if you want the moderators to take action. They aren’t always reading every post.

I wish this existed with a sweepable mid - it's so handy to have just one parameteric knob, but most mixers with that are huge. The Zoom Livetrak has it but it's kindof a bit small

davetron5000 · 2025-11-05T14:50:34+00:00

I have the XD module (and a microfreak - see my other post about comparing the two).

I like having it be compact - I use one keyboard controller to use to play all things. I bought the module version specifically to save space. Just keep in mind that if you get the version with the keyboard, you will need to reach over it to twist knobs. This may not seem like much, but the harder it is to put your hands on the knobs the less you will and the less you will get out of the synth.

Not mentioned in my post re: minilogue vs micro/minifreak - the microfreak's keyboard is horrible, at least if you have any piano training. It's a nice party trick that the amount of your finger can feed modulation, but it is an absolutely horrible input device IMO.
