Break your creative boundaries wide open and set the stage for a striking encounter with the Elektron Digitakt II, a compact sampling drum machine that can capture and manipulate fragments of time with its dynamic feature set and exquisite sound engine. The Digitakt II now features stereo samples with 16 sequencer tracks and 32 audio voices in total. You can utilize dual mono samples to layer and shape two sounds per track. The machine has been updated with 20GB of sample storage and 400MB of sample RAM (35 minutes of stereo samples) and each track can be configured as a MIDI track.The live-performance-friendly sequencer not only works with the onboard sounds, but provides a means to control outboard MIDI equipment. Like all other performance machines by Elektron, the Digitakt II offers parameter locks, which allow any sound-shaping function to be sequenced to any point on the sequencer; this results in powerful effects that are accurately timed. What's more, any parameters that have been adjusted can be undone at the press of a button. A Song mode lets you create, edit, and play compositions made from dozens of patterns. Full Overbridge support allows for full integration with DAW environments, including a dedicated VST/AU plug-in interface.Key Features Balanced audio inputsStereo sampling16 stereo tracks16 sequencer tracks32 audio voices in totalDual mono per track to layer and shape 2 sounds on a trackEach track can be configured as a MIDI track20GB of sample storage400MB of sample RAM (35 minutes of stereo samples) More sample slots (1024 = 8 banks of 128)Up to 8 bars (128 steps) per patternDigitakt MKI project importKitsOT style Trig modes16 Velocities16 Retrig rates Sample Playback Machines Repitch: Automatic classic beat matchingWarping: Quirky old-school way of time warping Slice: Chop up your audio and place the pieces back in any order you likeOneshot: Default Machine for playing your sample forward, backward, or loopedBeat Maker / Wave Bender A compact sampling drum machine that is capable of summoning monstrous beats or delicately layered sample-scapes before setting you up to unleash your creation using the powerful sequencer. Drum machines are something of an Elektron specialty, but this is only half of Digitakt's story. Watch it weave a spectrum of wonderful sounds into any tale. Let the machine do the talking, and see where the story leads.Pandora's Audio Box With a multitude of sound-sculpting features, this is a box you should open at your own risk. Using the hi-res encoders, you can easily begin sample crafting. Using versatile multimode and base-width filters, break the sonic ice with overdrive and various send effects, and wield two LFOs for twice the modulation.In addition to using eight sample tracks, you can MIDI-control and sequence up to eight external instruments too. Or, stereo process an external audio source and bolster it with some lush reverb and delay.Song Mode Sings Digitakt has Song Mode at its disposal, a feature that lets you create, edit, and play compositions made up of dozens of your patterns. It s a hugely useful feature for all kinds of scenarios and for all kinds of artists.Want to have a deeply customizable backing track, leaving your hands free for other sweet gear? That s entirely possible. Extend beyond the limits of the 64-step sequencer; create entire setlists in a single song, and so much more.Superior Sequencing The full-featured step sequencer lets you control both structure and sound. Press a step and tweak any parameter onto it for ultrafast and detailed sequencing. Real-time record every twist and turn you make, or build your composition one tonal nuance at a time. Add some controlled randomness and logic with variety-inspiring trig conditions.The amount of musical content you can fit into each of the 64 microtimed steps per track is astonishing. You can choose the transport speed and number of steps per track, for some proper polymetric power. The sequencer
