13. SAMPLING
Digitakt II is a very competent and accessible sampler. It can sample audio from external sources via the
external inputs, and sample audio internally from the Digitakt II itself. It can also sample over USB when it is
connected as a soundcard. The maximum sampling time is 66 seconds and this is always available even if a
project’s 400 MB of RAM memory is all used up.
13.1 SAMPLING MENU
The SAMPLING menu offers settings that control the different aspects of sampling.
Press [SAMPLING] to access this menu. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs to change the parameters.
13.1.1 SRC
Source selects between different audio sources to sample from.
• MAIN sets the input source to the Digitakt II internal main audio channel(s).
• USB sets the input source to USB and lets you sample audio using Overbridge or from a connected
class compliant audio host.
• TRK1–16 sets the input source to one of the Digitakt II’s internal tracks.
• IN sets the input source to INPUT L and/or R which lets you sample from external sources.
13.1.2 CHAN
Sets which channels the recorder should sample from.
• STEREO L R sets the recorder to sample both left and right channels from the source.
• MONO L sets the recorder to only sample the left channel from the source.
• MONO R sets the recorder to only sample the rightchannel from the source.
• MONO L+R sets the recorder to sample both left and right channels from the source, but the audio is
then summed to mono.
13.1.3 RECORD NOW
Press [YES] to start sampling. Press [YES] to stop sampling. This quick way of sampling does not con
sider the THRES and ARM parameter settings.
13.1.4 THRES
If you have selected to arm the sampler, the sampling begins when the incoming audio signal exceeds
the threshold set by this parameter provided that R.STRT is set to THRES. Set the threshold high enough
so that it is not triggered by background noise, but low enough that you capture all of the signal.
13.1.5 MON
Selects the option to monitor the incoming audio through the Digitakt II’s mixer and effect settings on the
EXTERNAL MIXER page (POST MIX) or not (PRE MIX). The MON parameter is only available if SRC is
set to IN L R.
• Please note that the recorded audio will always be the dry input signal and without the
Digitakt II’s effects added.
• Setting the MON parameter to PRE MIX disables the External In mixer functionality. For
more information, please see “12.9 EXTERNAL MIXER” on page 66.
• If MON is set to PRE MIX, make sure that the IN L R setting on the EXTERNAL MIXER
page is turned up or else you will not hear any sound.
