Today, Elektron officially introduced the Digitakt II, an updated version of the drum machine and sampler.

The Digitakt II is a big update of its predecessor, offering 400mb sample memory, instead of the original’s 64mb; 20 GB of internal storage; 16 tracks, double the original; support for stereo samples; 128 steps per pattern, vs the original’s 64; new FLTR machine options; 3 LFOs per track; new effects; and more.

What they say about it:

“Send yourself to another sampling dimension, weaving splinters of sound in stereo, ripped from the moment and brought to your fingertips for marvelous audio manipulation and beat arraying. Preserve or distort reality as you so desire with 16 tracks ready for stereo or mono samples, or MIDI.

Choose from several swappable filters for each track and utilize a wide assortment of effects and modulation, pull on massive processing power, and enough memory for a lifetime of samples. And with further tasty features like a Euclidean sequence generator, an extended 128 step sequencer, kits, trig modes, an extensive sample library, and a modular workflow to play with, your sonic-montage sculpting potential will know no beat-making bounds.”
