# 5.2 DATA STRUCTURE 5. OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAKT II DATA STRUCTURE 5. OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAKT II DATA STRUCTURE The image below outlines the data structure of the Digitakt II. 128 PATTERNS 1 Kit per pattern 16 AUDIO/MIDI TRACKS (per pattern) PROJECT POOL 128 Presets. 1016 Samples +DRIVE Projects, Kits, Presets, Samples 16 SONGS 5.1 +DRIVE The +Drive is a non-volatile storage. It keeps up to 128 projects and 1024 kits stored internally, and it also holds all saved presets. The +Drive also contains the sample bank that can hold up to 20 GB of user sam ples. 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. THE SEQUENCER” on page 40. 5.2.4 KIT A kit is a collection of 16 presets, one for every track in a pattern. For more information, please see “9.3 PRESET/KIT MENU” on page 30, “9. PATTERNS, KITS, PRESETS, AND SAMPLES” on page 29, and “11. TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 53. 5.2.5 PRESETS A preset is a sample (for audio track presets), plus all the track settings in the SRC, FLTR, AMP, FX, and MOD parameter pages. Or, in the case of MIDI presets, the SRC, FLTR, AMP, and MOD PARAMETER pages settings. Presets are stored in the +Drive library. The +Drive library holds up to 2048 presets. You can use the PRESET MANAGER to manage presets. For more information, please see “9.3 PRESET/KIT MENU” on page 30, “9. PATTERNS, KITS, PRESETS, AND SAMPLES” on page 29, and “11. TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 53. It is also possible to save/load/manage MIDI track presets in the same way as you do with audio track presets. 5. OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAKT II DATA STRUCTURE When a preset or kit is imported to a pattern, it becomes an independent copy of the preset/kit on the +Drive and is not linked to the original preset/kit on the +Drive. Instead, it fully becomes a part of the pattern. 5.2.6 SAMPLES You can load up to 400 MB (about 72 minutes in mono, 36 minutes in stereo) of samples in a project, us ing a maximum of 1016 sample slots. Samples are stored in the +Drive Sample bank. Additional samples can be transferred to the Digitakt II from a computer with the Elektron Transfer software. You also have the possibility to sample straight into the Digitakt II. For more information, please see “13. SAMPLING” on page 68. 5.3 ABOUT THE TRACKS The Digitakt II sequencer has 16 tracks that can be either an audio track or a MIDI track. 5.3.1 AUDIO TRACKS AND MACHINES Any of the sixteen tracks can be used as an audio track. This is the default track setting. Each audio track contains one sample, and the parameter settings in the PARAMETER pages TRIG, SRC, FLTR, FX, AMP, and MOD. A track that contains any other SRC machine than the MIDI machine is considered an audio track. A machine is a module within the Digitakt II with specific functionality. A machine can be switched out for another machine in the same category. For example different sample playback engines or a selection of filters. Every machine has a specific set of parameters tailored to give you the most relevant and useful sound-shaping possibilities for that particular machine. For more information, please see “APPENDIX A: MACHINES” on page 93. 5.3.2 MIDI TRACKS Any of the 16 tracks can be used as a MIDI track. They are used to control external, MIDI equipped, gear. Each MIDI track can trigger a chord of up to four notes with adjustable parameters such as velocity and length, control pitch bend and aftertouch, as well as sixteen freely assignable MIDI control change parameters (MIDI CCs). For more information, please see “A.2.7 MIDI” on page 101. Any MIDI channel can be assigned to a MIDI track and several tracks can share the same channel. If several tracks are assigned to the same MIDI channel the track with the lowest number has priority in case of parameter conflicts. The MIDI tracks function almost the same way as the audio tracks. Parameter locks, LFO modulation, copy and paste commands are available. Each MIDI track also features micro timing, individual track length and time signature settings. The main difference is that the MIDI tracks do not generate any sound and the sequencer data is instead transmitted through the MIDI OUT or USB ports. To use a track as a MIDI track, you must first assign a MIDI machine to it. 1. Press [FUNC] + [SRC] to open the MACHINE menu. 2. Use [LEFT]/[RIGHT] to navigate to the SRC machine category. 3. Use [UP]/[DOWN] to select the MIDI machine, and then press [YES] to assign it to the track. 5.3.3 EDITING THE TRACKS The six [PARAMETER] keys open parameter pages that are used for editing the tracks. • The TRIG page contains parameters such as NOTE, VELOCITY, and other trig related parameters. • The SRC page hosts the parameters that deal with machine specific functionality. • On the FLTR page, you find parameters for the selected filter/EQ machine and the base-width filter on audio tracks. On MIDI tracks you find the CC value settings and the CC select settings for CC param eters 1–8 here. • The AMP page for audio tracks hosts parameters for the amplitude envelope. On MIDI tracks you find the CC value settings and the CC select settings for CC parameters 9–16 here. • The FX page contains the Bit Reduction, Overdrive, Sample Rate Reduction, and the send effects send levels for audio tracks, The FX page is empty for MIDI tracks. • The MOD page hosts LFO parameters for the active track. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to edit the corresponding parameters. Press and turn a knob to adjust its parameter in larger increments. Press and hold a [PARAMETER] key to see the values for all param eters on that page. For more information, please see “11. TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 53, and “A.2.7 MIDI” on page 101.
