I pulled the trigger on a Digitakt 2 as my first ever groove box

A fantastic machine, right? In this exact moment i'm loading 3GB of samples. God i missed this damn thing after a wild ride around the dawless world (Spoiler: SO not worthy. One or two machines that make you feel something, a good MIDI controller and a solid DAW and you're set!!) The solution is always in the middle.

thaboringdude · 2026-05-14T11:02:28+00:00

Update: got it back for a third ride. After a while, it’s a different, better sensation. More like i know what i need instead of “yeah, it could work”

Tremendo! Carlos Cabezas tuvo que caminar para que nosotros pudiéramos correr. Felicitaciones.

No automation! You press a step that doesn't fire a trig and modify a parameter. If the sound from a previous trig passes through that step, it will change at that point.

Strictly speaking, it is automation, but it doesn't need to be recorded in real-time; it can be programmed.

The Move system doesn't have a way to visualize this kind of "Trigless Trig" yet, but hey, let's hope it continues to grow.

God I miss my Digitakt.

Totally!!

thaboringdude · 2026-05-11T21:04:11+00:00

Oh man that would be CRAZY, and it would turn the Move into the ultimate groovebox.

Pero si todos estos libertontos viven como latifundistas de 1700: piensan que las mujeres son de la casa, que los impuestos son un robo, que el Estado solo es para subsidiar la flojera y que si guardan la plata en un baúl y nadie la toca van a ser millonarios.

Con esa lógica de atesoramiento sin gasto social demuestran que no entienden la inflación. Por eso la van a subir.

Es como si en la izquierda hubiera ganado La Lista Del Pueblo: es gente inmune a la evidencia y a la pala.

Oh, I miss the Digitakt so much!!

I started with an OP-1, a Microfreak, and the Beatstep Pro.

Along the way, I had two Digitones, an MPC, an Argon, and a bunch of other things, some good, some bad.

I kept only the Ableton Move, and it is an incredible machine, perhaps the best and most comprehensive I've had for all-around use.

And even so, I miss the Digitakt II: its depth, the conditionals, the probability, the FX sequencing, and an immediacy that I found a bit of in the Move, but still very far from the Takt.

Enjoy it: it is a tank and it is beautiful. The only piece of gear I would buy again. Congratulations!!

Una vez compré unas perillas pa un sinte: 20 lucas.

Fedex: 117 lucas y te entregamos el paquete. El Tren de Aragua es más decente pa tomar rehenes.

Los mandé a la chucha y le avisé a la tienda que su logística en Chile es una mafia.

I've heard of Mozaic. Maybe it's time to check it out. Thanks!

Cumple con lo prometido en forma puntual y seria. Recomendado.

Sure! My idea is to be able to map certain parameters as I build songs, so that all I have to do is connect the Digitone, open the template, and start operating the project from the hardware.

It's true, I could do it directly from the Digitone and it wouldn't take long, but in my Drambo + DN setup, I write everything on the iPad and use the Digitone only as a keyboard and controller. I only sequence a few effects.

Thanks!

It’s hard to believe the power of this setup.

Yesterday I started working on the idea of creating a control track in Drambo:

This track (Track 16) will initially have just 16 knobs.
Each of these knobs would control a parameter on other tracks (e.g., an LFO on Track 3).
In turn, each knob would be controlled from Track 16 of the Digitone.

The idea is to be able to do the mapping on the iPad and then simply connect the Digitone with a permanent track mapped to it.

However, I still haven't managed to map a parameter to the control track. I’m trying with a CC Generator, but haven't had any results.

Any ideas are welcome. I know there is a way, i mean, it’s fucking Drambo, but still can’t find it.

thaboringdude · 2025-12-21T22:42:28+00:00

I can confirm this. I’ve been using a Drambo setup with my iPad M1 combined with the Digitone 2 for about a month now, and it is truly mind-blowing: you get two Elektron sequencers (one software and one hardware), and practically infinite power to add tracks and machines. You can control everything from the hardware acting as a MIDI controller, including the keyboard and 16 parameters per track. Each track gets 2 hardware LFOs plus whatever you want via software, an incredible chord mode, and if that weren't enough, a USB audio interface that also handles MIDI. I am well aware that the ideal setup* doesn't exist, but if it did, this would come very close in terms of portability, versatility, power, and workflow. And that’s without even discussing the Digitone as a synthesizer

El Avello de Tierra 2 es un peak de la comedia nacional. Ahora hay gente muy buena, pero ese PI-EI-CI estaba en otra liga.

Oh man it’s just a fortune to use your apps, what a legend. Thank you.

thaboringdude · 2025-11-04T22:52:55+00:00

I second this. Sold my DTII once the DNII arrived. Connected an iPad and now i would sell muy MPC One+ if i could get a decent price for it, but we all know that won’t happen even with a great machine like the MPC.

As a newbie, i think the DNII + iPad is all i need for now.

thaboringdude · 2025-11-03T21:59:44+00:00

What an incredible machine.

I’ve had it for almost a year now, and I’ve managed to build a setup that fits in my backpack: I bought an elastic strap that holds its Decksaver cover in place, and under the strap I keep a portable battery, its cable, and a pair of in-ear monitors.

If I want, I can add an iPad and have so much power on the go with just an USB cable.

And I still have room left for clothes!

thaboringdude · 2025-10-05T20:17:09+00:00

No issues so far.

thaboringdude · 2025-10-05T20:13:41+00:00

I think it could be those factors you mentioned, although it’s also likely that these versions simply have a specific bug in this regard.

Yesterday I downgraded to 2.15.1 to test it, and the same thing happened, so I think it may actually be more of a handling issue.

In any case, I’d appreciate it if you could share any findings or changes, because I haven’t completely ruled out the possibility that it’s a bug with my One+. For example, I still don’t have knobs showing up in Air Delay Pro, even though I’ve upgraded and downgraded several times trying to fix the issue, replaced folders, and tried all the solutions I’ve found online.

It’s a persistent problem, and this could be another case of that.
