@Kuro only left and right in stereo files, if I understood well.
For inputs, EXTERNAL MIXER settings make the difference.

Oooof, that’s a hard one since there’s no real audio editor and no spacializer. :I
Should be possible with EXTERNAL MIXER settings.
DUAL mode, change INL L / IN R levels depending on what do you want to record.

I suppose dual mono files could be used as dual-layer sounds , with interesting cross-faded possibilities for sound design.
Are MODULATION SETUP (VEL, PB, etc) destinations same as lfos, or is it more restricted ?
Didn’t see them in the manual…
Could someone list them or list the differences ?
In Cukcoo’s mega tutorial, at 1:10:00 when he’s saving presets
the tags he gives to them are showing up as something else when looking at the Pool
he’s using a beta firmware, but can someone confirm that it has been fixed?
Think the idea is great. Didn’t get the project preset pool to run yesterday.
Would love to have that 16 trig thing for selected sample slots in one track.
Haven’t seen everything yet: does it work that way that you can have different presets in one track (choking each other) as automatic plocked trigs?
With so many tracks available a feature assigning several to one sequencer would be nice for polyphony

Yes, should include internal midi loopback (or just routing the 4 voices of a midi track to 4 sound tracks, RK-002 style) - would give nice MonoPoly stuff.
Good to know. Too bad that section’s text doesn’t make it sound like you can monitor the resample through headphones. My guess is the HW signal path doesn’t support separate headphone or main mixes.

I appreciate this summary and based on your list of grr’s, it sounds like you come from a place of wanting to produce melodic electronic music, similar to what I do. I have a Syntakt and when seeing Ezbot’s live stream, it almost feels like the Digitakt 2 rivals the Syntakt as a pure synth.
It even comes with perfectly trimmed wavetables, which you can use with the Slice machine to modulate the slice slot and effectively end up with pretty much any wavetable sound. And you still have two other LFOs to work with, plus ADSR, portamento, chorus… even a greater pitch range. Sort of like a Minifreak in a way - there you pick an engine, and on the Digitakt 2 you pick a wavetable sample.
Of course you’re always going to be more locked in by the sample you choose so morphing from a sawtooth to a unison will require one wavetable sample, and morphing from a sawtoow to a square another one. So the workflow will probably never be as fast as on the Syntakt. But then again the sound palette on the Digitakt 2 will basically be unlimited whereas the Syntakt always sort of sounds like a Syntakt.
You’re probably totally right about the lack of instant gratification because you can’t just take a sawtooth and morph it into whatever in seconds. You have to pick a sample or a sound preset that will lock you in to whatever that sample can offer. Maybe you can get really fast at finding your 5-10 favorite wavetables that give you your typical bread-and-butter sounds in seconds though? Then build a preset library with those presets already created and properly tagged. But then you definitely have one foot in the preset browsing territory, unlike on the Syntakt where you are unlimited to how you can tweak a sound (within the limits of its sound palette, however).
This would be a really interesting comparison to make: Syntakt vs Digitakt 2 - Which is the best synth-heavy all-in-one groovebox?

Digitakt 2 has master overdrive fx??

I’ve had some folks thoughtfully PM me and suggest my comments were a bit harsh. Upon reconsideration, I think I’m going to double down.
HOT take - what counts (and is often seen) as a “spec bump” in the Elektron world often has far broader implications for the functionality and workflow of their devices. As I’ve mentioned previously, DT2 is going to look rather different (functionally) in a couple of years 
Yes, major draw for me

I reckon it’s cool (master OD). Does it really add a lot to you (I mean, you could just overdrive the preamps of the mixer (if live) or apply some mastering tools to the recorded track (if not live)? Or use analog heat
Hi everyone, I apologize if I missed this information and it has already been said, is it possible to import the factory sounds and presets of the dt1?

Haven’t read most of the messages here but just wanted to say thanks to Elektron for this release! This is by far the most fun and rewarding device I’ve ever worked with. So many improvements compared to the previous device and everything is very well thought-out (prep mute groups, pattern/bank change, option to remember pages, etc) which makes it such a joy to work with.
Also worth noting that I haven’t seen a single bug/crash in the first +14 hours I’ve spent with it (updated to 1.01). This is exactly why people choose Elektron: It just works 
The product launch focusing on top-class artists was also very classy. Congrats to the whole team!

Having had the digitone, I loved this master overdrive

Many influences:
- Detroit techno;
- polyrhythmic structures
- short melody phrases in repeating cycles
- sound of 8 bit DAC (FM synths)
- chords used in looped phrases (by not adjusting the chords: leaving the scales)
- EBM
- phrases with
- odd number of steps
- microtonality
- transposing the whole sequence (normally via CV add with keyboard/synth) - syncopated drums with flams
- phrases with
- Synth Pop / wave
- simple song structure
- melody, bass, chords
- Bach polyphonic pieces
- HipHop
- break beats
- 808 based Electro and Miami sound
- 80s style drum machine sound (Run DMC)
- 12 bit sample sound (early nineties MPC60 and SP1200 stuff)
- jungle
- loops, chops, reverse pointer to original funk (James Brown etc.)
- reggae, dancehall
- groove
- cheesy synths
- different classic dance rhythm structures
- dancehall FX (phaser, delay, dub)
- dub techno
- filtered sound
- dub delays
- chords
And to stay on topic:
- the DT2 can do all of this
- it could do it even better if it had transpose functions (live or destructive) and other melodic stuff (tune in senitones/intervals, chords either live or offline rendered, arp etc.)

Got it. Yeah for those genres, the DT2 is an even more obvious choice than what I’m contemplating it might work for.
