Press [FUNC] + [FLTR] to open the SETUP menu. Here you can set a number of track and kit related parameters. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to move between the options. Press [YES] to confirm your selection. Press [NO] to exit the menu.

9.8.1 KIT

Here you can select which tracks that should be affected by control all and set up the track routing to the compressor.

CONTROL ALL CONFIG

Use the [TRIG] keys to select which tracks that you want to send to be affected by the control all functionality. MIDI tracks can not be selected. For more information, please see “6.2.2 CONTROL ALL” on page 19.

Control all operations also affects the active track, whether it is selected to be affected or not.
The control all functionality is not available for the MIDI tracks.

COMPRESSOR ROUTING

Use the [TRIG] keys to select which tracks, inputs and effects that you want to send to be affected by the compressor. MIDI tracks can not be selected. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] to navigate between the two pages.

TRACK SWAP

Use the [TRIG] keys to swap two tracks together with all settings, presets, and sequencer data and make them change places with each other. Press and hold the two tracks [TRIG] keys untill the screen reads “TRACKS X AND X SWAPPED”.

9.8.2 TRACK

Here you can set a number of track related parameters. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to move between the options. Press [YES] to confirm your selection. Press [NO] to exit the menu.

LEGATO

In LEGATO mode, the envelopes are not triggered by a subsequent note on/key press if the first note is still held.

NOTE PRIORITY

Here you can set the note priority, i.e., what note is played if more than one note is played at the same time. This setting is only available If LEGATO is set to ON.

LAST gives priority to the last note played.

LOW gives priority to the lowest note played.

HIGH gives priority to the highest note played.

VELOCITY TO VOL

Selects how MIDI velocity affects volume when playing the preset from a MIDI keyboard.

OFF means velocity does not affect the volume of the sound.

LOG applies a logarithmic velocity curve. The volume difference are greater between softer keyboard presses than between harder.

LIN applies a linear velocity curve. The volume difference between keyboard presses corresponds linearly to the force applied.

EXP applies an exponential velocity curve. The volume difference are greater between harder keyboard presses than between softer.

EXP 2 applies an exponential velocity curve. The volume difference are greater between harder keyboard presses than between softer. The EXP 2 curve has a higher starting point, meaning that a low velocity has a higher impact on the volume than on EXP.

OCTAVE

Sets the base octave of the preset. It also makes preset locking more practical since you can control the octave setting on the preset and minimize the need to transpose the sequencer notes to make two or more presets work together.

PITCH BEND DEPTH

Sets how much the pitch bend data from external MIDI devices affects the Digitakt II.

PORTAMENTO

Here you find settings related to the portamento. For more information, please see “11.3 TRIG PAGE 2” on page 54.

SLOPE

CONSTANT RATE. The pitch glides linearly at a constant rate. Longer glides take longer time to complete.

CONSTANT TIME The pitch glides linearly, but the glide is completed in a specific time, regardless of the interval between the start and end notes. Glides over wider note intervals, therefore, have a higher rate.

AMOUNT

This setting enables partial glides where just the final part of the interval is included in the glide. For example, a setting of 100 gives a full glide from start to finish. Lower values start the glide closer to the goal pitch.

STYLE

GLIDE Ordinary continuous portamento.

GLISSANDO Quantizes the portamento to semitones.

LEGATO ONLY

ON When playing notes, the pitch glides from the pitch of the last note played and held (the key pressed down and not yet released) to the pitch of the next new note played on the track.

OFF When you play notes, the pitch glides from the pitch of the last note played to the next new note played on the track.

GATING

OFF The glide continues after the key is released.

ON The glide stops when the key is released.

KEY TRACKING

Opens a menu where you can assign up to four parameters to the key tracking. Both the NOTE parameter on the TRIG menu and the key track information from incoming MIDI sent to the Digitakt II from external devices affects the assigned parameters. Press [YES] to open the menu.

You can select parameters from the SRC, FLTR, AMP, FX, and MOD PARAMETER pages. Turn the DATA ENTRY knobs A–D to select the track parameters that you wish to assign. Press [YES] to confirm the selection. Then use DATA ENTRY knobs E–H to set the modulation depth of the four track parameters. The depth is an offset of the original track parameter value.
