ELEKTRON Digitakt [21/70] Digitakt controls

8. DIGITAKT CONTROLS

8.1 TRIG KEYS

The [TRIG] keys have several uses, including for example, trigging an audio track sound (track 1–8) from

the active pattern. (When sequencer recording is deactivated). They are also used for placing trigs in GRID

RECORDING mode. When pressed in combination with the [PTN] and [BANK] keys, they select patterns

and banks. The [TRIG] keys light up to indicate the position of placed trigs and to indicate the selected

bank and track.

8.2 ROTARY ENCODERS

The MASTER VOLUME is an absolute encoder, spanning roughly 320 degrees from its left extreme to

its right extreme. The LEVEL and DATA ENTRY knobs (with which you set various parameter values), are

relative encoders which may be spun any number of turns. Pressing and turning these encoders will change

their associated values at a greater speed.

8.3 KEY BEHAVIOR

As a group, the track selection keys ([TRIG] keys) have radio button functionality, i.e. when a new track is

set to be active, the previous one is simultaneously deactivated. Only one track can be selected at a time.

Likewise, the group consisting of the ﬁve [PARAMETER] keys have radio button functionality.

The [FUNC], [TRK], [PTN], and [BANK] keys must always be used in combination with other keys.

8.4 MIDI NOTES

Some functions can be triggered by sending MIDI note values from an external MIDI device (a MIDI key-

board or a computer, for example) connected to the Digitakt via a standard MIDI cable or a USB 2.0 A to B

connector cable.

Of the 128 notes in the standard MIDI range, Note numbers 0–8 correspond to notes C0 through to G0, the

leftmost octave (which is sometimes called C-2–G-2 in certain applications). These notes will trigger the

sound of track 1 through track 8, respectively (provided they are set to their default channels 1-8). These

notes values map to each of the eight tracks, regardless of which track is active.

MIDI note numbers 12–59 (corresponding to notes C1–B4, the second through to ﬁfth octaves in the MIDI

range) will trigger the sound of the active track in any of its 49 chromatic variations (as if played by the

[TRIG] keys in CHROMATIC mode, see section below), from lowest to highest pitch.

MIDI program change messages 0–127 will select pattern 1–128 (A01–H16) on the Digitakt. Additionally,

MIDI CC and NRPN messages can be sent to control various aspects of the Digitakt. For more information,

please see “APPENDIX A: MIDI” on page 66.

8.5 MODES

There are two special modes of operation on the Digitakt: CHROMATIC mode and MUTE mode.

8.5.1 CHROMATIC MODE

Press [FUNC] + [TRK] to enter CHROMATIC mode. In this mode, you can play the sound of the active

audio track (or send MIDI notes if you have an active MIDI track) chromatically. The [TRIG] keys will light

up in a pattern that resembles an octave of a piano keyboard layout. Only lit keys are playable. Press

[TRK] + [TRIG 1–16] keys to select the track you want to play chromatically.

Press the trig keys to change the chromatic note pitch of the sound. The range from [TRIG 9] key to

[TRIG 16] key is one octave. The whole range for audio tracks spans four octaves: middle, 1 up and 2

down. The whole range for MIDI tracks spans eleven octaves. Press the [ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN],

to transpose the virtual keyboard up or down one octave.

Notes trigged chromatically can be recorded on the sequencer in LIVE RECORDING mode. Find out how

this is done in section “10.2.3 LIVE RECORDING MODE” on page 28.

Like MUTE mode, the active state of CHROMATIC mode (the portion of the chromatic keyboard current-

ly visible on the [TRIG] keys) is not stored per pattern but stays in the state to which it was set until it is

changed.

Press [FUNC] + [TRK] to exit CHROMATIC mode.
