All projects have access to these samples. 5.2 DATA STRUCTURE 5.2.1 PROJECT A project contains up to 128 patterns. General settings and states are also stored in the project. When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of the Digitakt II. From here it is possible to edit the patterns and presets of the project. Every time the Digitakt II is switched on, it boots to the active work ing state, the active project. Projects are saved, loaded and managed in the SETTINGS menu. For more information, please see “14.1 PROJECT” on page 75. 5.2.2 SONGS A song is an arrangement of patterns set up to play in sequence. Each row in the SONG mode arrange ment can have separate settings for pattern, row repeat, row length, tempo, and mute. A song can be up to 99 rows in length, and each project can contain up to 16 songs. For more information, please see “10.9 SONG MODE” on page 50. 5.2.3 PATTERNS The patterns are the primary data container for the Digitakt II. 16 patterns are available for each of the eight banks, which means that 128 patterns are available for each project. A pattern contains up to 16 presets (one for each audio track), a kit, and sequencer data like trigs and parameter locks for the 16 tracks.. It also contains the settings on the TRIG page and BPM, length, swing and time signature set tings. For more information, please see “10.
