Elektron Digitakt v1.50 adds Sample Playback Machines and More
Elektron has released Digitakt firmware v1.50, a free update for the 8-voice digital drum computer and sampler that adds four different Machines, each with their own flavor:
- Repitch for automatic classic beat-matching;
- Werp for a little quirky old-school way of time warping;
- Slice – to chop up your audio and placing the pieces back in any order you like; and
- Oneshot, the default Machine for playing your sample forward, backward or looped.
In addition, the update adds a new way to record your samples. You can now set a fixed number of steps for your recording. And, Sample Rate Reduction that can be inserted before or after the filter.
What’s new in Digitakt 1.50:
- Added sample playback enhancements by implementing sample playback machines that add features such as warping and sample slicing.
- Added Sample Rate Reduction functionality that can be routed either post- or pre-filter.
- Decreased the encoder sensitivity when changing MIDI parameters.
- Improved the filter type switching to reduce the amount of unwanted audio artifacts that could occur.
- Added the functionality to record loops based on the current BPM when sampling or re-sampling.
- Previewing a sample or a recording while on a MIDI track is now possible by letting it be previewed on the neighbouring audio track.
