Isn’t that the other way around? at least I saw it in thomann.de for 999€, and dolars < euros

Looks really nice. Well done Elektron! I suspect I’ll be selling my Octatrack soon.

Looks to be a good incremental upgrade over the original. I will not be selling my Octatrack :wink:

I’m noticing that it’s extra ā€˜pagey’ now, something I guess you’d have to get used to.

I guess this is going to make the second-hand market full of digitakts?? they are still great machines!
And thomann is not selling them anymore… not available. so is it a replacement?

I hope at some point cenk makes music/videos with it

Is the case identical to first Digitakt? Could they sell this as software update to mk1 owners?

Ah perform kit is what I dreamed of for so long. If this comes to other boxes without needing a hardware revision I’d be so happy!

I understood that some sort of polyphony is there. At least harmony was mentioned.

congrats Elektron, looks like a proper upgrade and the sounds on the stream were really good for stereo outs!

Hey all :heart: I made a comparison between Digitakt and Digitakt II. I also - surprise!!! - show off the Master Overdrive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUDezMwYsK4

Stoked! Just pre-ordered locally :smiley:

You can trigger multiple tracks at once, that’s the polyphony. It’s not the same as being able to play one sound across different notes with a keyboard to make chords, you’d have to use a note dispatcher in a MIDI processor to do that, and it’s a bit of a shame that Elektron didn’t integrate such functionality. I think they could have done so.

ā€žBuilt on a new platformā€ - I guess that means we should not have high hopes for MKI firmware updates. Octartrack, Rhythm and other MKII’s were more or less cosmetical changes. It seems like this is a whole new thing, but in a familiar and tested interface.

Can you use trig modes and retrigger on midi tracks?
