Press [FUNC] + [SAMPLING] to open the SAMPLES menu.

Use the [UP]/[DOWN] keys to select if you want to view the +Drive or the RAM storage. Press [YES] to open the selected storage space.

Here you can manage your samples. Initially, here are two directories FACTORY and INCOMING. A wide array of factory samples are available in the write protected FACTORY directory. The INCOMING directory is the default destination for samples sent to the Digitakt II +Drive storage via a SDS transfer software. A third directory, RECORDED will appear once you have done the first sampling on the device and will contain the samples you create when you sample with the Digitakt II.

Use the [UP]/[DOWN] keys to highlight a directory, and then press [YES] to open it. To exit a directory and back one step up in the directory hierarchy, press [NO]. Pressing and holding [NO] takes you to the top level of the SAMPLES menu. When browsing a directory in the +Drive, a sample assigned to one of the 1016 sample slots of the active project will have its slot number shown as seen below.

13.6.1 LOADING A SAMPLE

You can load one or several samples to the RAM memory of the active project.

  1. Press [FUNC] + [SAMPLING] to open the SAMPLES menu, and then use the [UP]/[DOWN] keys to select +DRIVE. Press [YES] to open the +Drive storage.
  2. Open the FACTORY directory, and navigate to the samples you want to load.

13.6.7 TRANSFERRING SAMPLES FROM A COMPUTER TO DIGITAKT II

  1. Connect Digitakt II to the computer via USB.
  2. Open the Elektron Transfer software (Available on the Elektron website) on your computer.
  3. On the Transfer CONNECTIONS page, set the MIDI IN and OUT ports to your Digitakt II.
  4. In Transfer, click the EXPLORE tab to open the EXPLORE page.
  5. On the top right side, in the drop-down menu, select “Samples”.
  6. On the top left side in the drop-down menu, make sure “My Computer” is selected.
  7. Under “My Computer” navigate to the files or folders you want to transfer.
  8. Drag and drop the files or folders to your preferred location on your device. Transfer automatically converts all audio files to 16 bit, 48 kHz audio files, the Digitakt II native audio format. Both mono and stereo files are supported

To use the samples, they need to be loaded to the active project. For more information, please see “13.6.1 LOADING A SAMPLE” on page 71.

13.6.8 CREATING A NEW DESTINATION DIRECTORY

The Digitakt II still supports receiving of samples via MIDI Sample Dump Standard (SDS) and Extended SDS. You need to enable SDS Handshake in order to secure the transmission over fast interfaces like USB MIDI. You also have to enable the transmission of the Extended SDS header if you want the sample name to be sent to the Digitakt II.

This procedure is only for when you use a SDS transfer software tool. If you use Elektron Transfer you can create a new destination directory in the Digitakt II directly from Transfer.

Press [FUNC] + [SAMPLING] to open the SAMPLES menu, and then use the [UP]/[DOWN] keys to select the +Drive. Press [YES] to open the +Drive storage. Press [RIGHT] and select CREATE DIR to create a new directory by pressing [YES]. A naming screen will appear. Give your new destination directory an appropriate name. Press [YES] to open the new directory. In the initially empty directory, press [RIGHT] to open the SAMPLE ACTION menu. Highlight UPLOAD HERE and press [YES].

13.6.9 TRANSFERRING SAMPLES FROM DIGITAKT II TO A COMPUTER

  1. Connect Digitakt II to the computer via USB.
  2. Open the Elektron Transfer software (Available on the Elektron website) on your computer.
  3. On the Transfer CONNECTIONS page, set the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports to your Digitakt II.
  4. In Transfer, click EXPLORE to open the EXPLORE page.
  5. On the EXPLORE page on the right side under DIGITAKT II, navigate to the samples you want to transfer
  6. Drag and drop the samples to your preferred folder under MY COMPUTER.
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Elektron Transfer software installed on your computer. You can download the free Transfer software and the Transfer User Manual from the Support section of the Elektron website.
  • If MIDI+USB is selected in the INPUT FROM and/or OUTPUT TO settings on the MIDI PORT CONFIG menu, MIDI data transfers will limit the USB speed. When sending or receiving large chunks of data, make sure you use the USB setting.
  • Sequencer playback stops when you transfer files to the Digitakt II.
