EDIT: WRONG = That’s recording time!
I heard it’s 66 seconds. <- WRONG

66 seconds (stereo) is max recording time, also max sample length?

No, 66 sec is the max sampling time.
Loaded samples can be bigger.

If DT2 behaves like other Digis, iirc you can only record CC70 to CC77 (Midi tracks Values). These can be mapped to CC1 (MW) and CC64 (Sustain).
More complicated for Values 9-16 apparently…

Anyone have a “Project on Digitakt 1 vs Project on Digitakt 2” sound comparison video? Less interested in the ‘specs’ more interested in the colorization the hardware does.

Actually there are also some parameter conversions that may introduce some slight changes, so you’ll still have to tweak a bit to get closer to the original.

I wonder if you can manage your samples from a usb drive.
Sure, still interested in it if someone has the two devices!
So internally, all files are stereo, even when the original was mono ?

That’s a very good question.
I don’t think so but will have to make some tests.
One would be to find the max size Transfer allows and send both a mono and a stereo file with the same size.
The other test I’d do is exporting the project and unzip the file.

When did you place your order? Meaning the time on the 24th.
it’s just occurred to me, why had they made it mono sample initially? there was some processing magic i thought related to it. did they give up the initial idea behind Digitakt?
this sounds like a “Elemtron lost their way” thread but i’m genuinely curious how the product design process works in this field. it’s now sold like a big new feature, but if DT had stereo from the start no one would bat an eye
so, is this a step backwards from some sort of planned concept that didn’t go well and hence just following the market dictation?

Analog Rytm MKI DNA.
Mono analog tracks with mono samples. Less RAM use.

I just ordered one. Couldn’t resist any longer. It has all the features I was hoping for exactly.
Expensive though…
I’m most excited about SIXTEEN TRACKS as I always ran out on the original, and KITS is going to be so super sweet.

Just copying the OT sample lib (stereo) to the computer and from there to DT2. OT sample transfer (card mode USB) is much quicker. Will see how timestretching and other stuff compare soundwise. Lost an hour with the OT - that‘s a rap battle machine. The 4 parts per pattern are genius (plus fader settings). Can’t record directly. Will post examples tomorrow.
DT1 was/is ostensibly a drum machine/ or ‘drum computer’, so the focus on mono (and until fairly recently only one-shot) samples was pretty logical within that paradigm

Was going to write something similar.
Been lurking a long time. Time to get on the hype train. Have a Digitone I’ve been using for a few years, and its new friend has now been ordered. This will be my first sampler and I’m stoked. I’ve had more fun with my Digitone than I did in years of DAW use, and I’m willing to be the DTII will do the same. Going from four tracks and 64 steps to 16 and 128 sounds amazing. And now sampling stereo synth work from my Digitone. Heck yeah.
