Digging into Digitakt + new polyphonic script
Added 2018-09-24 12:24:55 +0000 UTCHi!
The Digitakt is quite a special box! This clip is part of my effort to dive deeper into samplers and expand the sampling section of my ebook (which is admittedly too thin now... hence why I'm working on it!)
There are quite a few tricks in this video and I recommend you have a look even if you don't have a Digitakt, as many of these may be relevant to other samplers. They'll be added to the October version of the ebook, so if you want their essence distilled, it will be there too.
As part of the prep for this clip I reached out to Bome - the makers of BomeBox and MIDI Translator Pro and challenged them to create a script to enable polyphony on Digitakt, which they did.... and in a day too..
This script will also be available on their site, which makes sense because they wrote it... so I can't claim it's a Patreon exclusive... but if you have a Digitakt and want help getting it set up, I'm happy to do so - just comment below or reach out via PM with any questions about this, or any other topic mentioned in this clip you want to chat about.
EDIT: A viewer alerted me to the fact that if you double-press "stop" on the Digitakt while using a MIDI loopback method it freezes. I traced down the problem to a MIDI CC 120 message sent thru the MIDI out port, which causes the Digitakt to freeze if it's sent back in. The Bome script has been updated to filter out this message, so you're good if you use this script, but if you use a regular MIDI cable, make sure not to press stop twice... or filter CC 120 through a script like mine which solves the problem. Enjoy!
Have a great week!
