# 5.3 ABOUT THE TRACKS 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. 6. INTERACTING WITH THE DIGITAKT II 6. INTERACTING WITH THE DIGITAKT II The screen shows all the information needed for real-time interaction and editing on the Digitakt II. The eight DATA ENTRY knob parameters shown will vary depending on the given situation. Below is the main interface screen of the SRC page. 1. The current bank and pattern. 2. The current pattern name. 3. The selected TRIG mode. 4. The current tempo. 5. Eight track parameters. They show what the DATA ENTRY knobs control and their current parameter values. 6. Parameter page indicator. Indicates the number of pages for the selected parameter section and which page is currently selected. 7. The main level setting of the active track. Use the LEVEL/DATA knob to change the volume setting. 8. The current active track. 9. Track type. Audio (SMP) track or MIDI (MID) track. The Digitakt II features a screen saver that dims the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity and turns off the screen after 60 minutes. Press any key or move any controller to wake the screen. 6.1 SCREEN NAVIGATION Use the [ARROW] keys [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT] or [RIGHT] to navigate menus or sub-menus. The LEVEL/DATA knob can be used to scroll through menus and lists quickly. [YES] is used to affirm, select, enter sub-menus and tick/untick boxes. [NO] is used to negate, deselect or go back one or more steps. When in a menu or sub-menu, the [NO] key can be used to go back, one step at a time, all the way to the main screen. 6.2 PARAMETER EDITING The DATA ENTRY knobs are used to change the values of the track parameters. The positions of the pa rameters on the screen correspond to the physical locations of the knobs on the front panel. Some of the parameters on the screen tell you what DATA ENTRY knob controls that particular parameter. For example “(E)” in the PAGE SETUP menu. • The parameters are adjusted in larger increments if you press down the DATA ENTRY knob while turning it. This makes it quicker to sweep through the whole parameter range. • Press DATA ENTRY knob + [NO] to reset the parameter to the default value. • Press [PARAMETER] key + [PLAY] to reset all the parameters in the selected parameter page to default values. • Press and hold a [PARAMETER] key to see the values for all parameters on that page.
