Don't know if anyone's commented this yet, or if you have worked it out yourself, but the function copy and paste works when naming the samples. So you can spend time naming the first sample something ike DrumLoop_Slice1 or whatever then hit func+copy before you save the slice. Then the next slice you just hit func+paste when you go to name and edit the number. Then all your slices will show up in your browser in order with minimal effort.
I’ve been using the func+clear for track titles for a yr now and didn’t even think that the copy/paste would work as well. Thanks, mate! This wil speed things up a lot.
You can't chop pc imported sample, but you can resample pc imported sample (press Sampling button and select source (SRC on Digitakt) with G knob) , then, you can chop them! 🔥🔥
First off, thanks for breaking this down the way you did. Super appreciate that! All this time I've been loading each sample chop or slice into individual tracks and obviously not leaving me with much tracks available or open. I saw a suuuuuper quick thing on this before but didn't see the part where they weren't saving them to a track and dropping a different track into each step in the step sequencer.
Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Would be quicker and non-destructive to the original sample. Though no ability to zoom in on the waveform in the SRC parameter section
@@jimbocrowhurst5503 - doing a similar thing with slices on the Octatrack it’s easy to zoom in and get the zero crossing point - but even so I’ve still had to tweak some start points by ear so that they sit right.
Great explanation and teaching of the method, this is just a very over complicated workflow for something as simple as making sample chops. This is super easy coming from NI Maschine and also having used the Pioneer Toraiz SP16. There's a lot of love for the Digitakt and "Elektron Workflow" I was acutally suprrused something as basic as this is so labor intense. Another was that Midi tracks don't have a basic scale mode. I want to pick a key and scale dammit.
Happy you liked it 👍 I'm gonna be doing more beat making videos soon instead of tutorials so you'll be able to check out how I typically work with all my equipment. Stay tuned!
If you have a more recent iPhone, you'll need the proper adapter and a 1/8th to dual TS Cable. The adapter can be purchased at an Apple Store, and the cable can be bought from most music retail stores as well as Amazon.
I feel that. Or even some kind of auto/grid slicer of some sort. At the end of the day, it is basically designed for one shots and smaller samples so I get their initial thought process. I do hope for some kind of slicing update in the future though.
Depends on the source really. Especially with how sensitive the encoders are. Sometimes it's a real pain trying to get slices exactly where I want them. But I use both methods pretty regularly so to each his own, haha.
You can place any sample on any empty step on a track. So you can put a kick, snare, and a hat on track 1 but the samples can't overlap each other. Think of each track as an individual choke group.
@@minutiaemusic Thanks. Did not know that. This is a game changer for me. It’s a bit like the old trackers where you had only 4 tracks. This forces you to be very creative. I thought you could only load one main sample per group and place that one in the steps.
Thanks for this! You could possibly resample the track using the internal recorder. I think it would allow you to work on it using the method you showed.
That is also a valid option! I usually do it all in one go like this just to get the busy work out of the way, but like you said Resampling could also be used for further chops and fine-tuning of samples. Thanks for watching!
I keep getting "load error" my ram is @ 65 (free:22mb) & +drive is @ 2% (free:938mb) can anyone help me? I'm certainly a novice to digitakt and im getting frustrated with this dilemma, any help will be greatly appreciated! *Side note* im using the audio input not USB. Thanx again!
Hmm that is a little strange. I had this happen to me twice before; once when my plus drive was full, and once when my project had hit the 64mb limit. I'm not sure where to go from here but I did find this thread on the Elektronauts forum which will hopefully give you some useful info: www.elektronauts.com/t/load-error-issue-when-loading-sample-digitakt/81316/6 Also, if you updated the Digitakt's OS recently, try reverting to a previous version, or the latest version of your a few behind. If all else fails I recommend sending a ticket to Elektron support which should definitely be able to help you get this straightened out. 👍 Hope this helps!
Instead of cutting up the original just use the entire sample and then set start/end play points on different steps. as shown here czcams.com/video/MefPEo_9kiI/video.html

I actually did not know that! Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to pin it to the top 👍
I didn't know that either! Thanks!
Amazing!

exactly what I was trying to work out thanks dude!
Great work! I'm new to the digitakt. Coming from the mpc, this is a rather long process, but this machine is a powerhouse!

The music in the background is distracting.
What about just recording your sample and setting and fine tuning different start points per trig instead of individually chopping and saving?

This
That's a lot of work.. I probably would have forgotten my idea 💊🚬
It’s truly not that bad ... it’s different and wierd but not that bad
He’s doing it the long way for individual sampling parts ... the short and easy way is trigs on steps
i agree though sometime it can be a pain in the ass to find the 'sweet spot'. i'd love to be able to zoom in the "sample start" part.
@@jimbocrowhurst5503 I definitely agree

Thanks man! I couldn’t figure out how to do this. Sweet video!
Happy I could help!

Good shit - thank you for your help in understanding this incredible machine.

Goodness it takes forever to chop. Why don’t they offer a chop feature at transient?
appreciate an insight into your workflow
Happy you liked it 👍 I'm gonna be doing more beat making videos soon instead of tutorials so you'll be able to check out how I typically work with all my equipment. Stay tuned!
What's the backing track playing in the back?.., Really like it.
Just random beats of mine I like to throw into the videos to avoid having dead silence, haha.
Here's a link to the Instagram video it's from. I don't have it uploaded anywhere else at the moment.

@@minutiaemusic Good work. It really tuned into something in my brain. If you ever make that a finished track let me know and take my money!
Better use p-locks for chopping.
Agreed. Quick and easy with extra scope for happy accidents!
real nice-make me wanna record some shix!!
Seems like a pain in the ass to set up everything before you can finally start creating some music.
He did it the hard way he could’ve just used the trig conditions
Resample on internal instead of external input 😉
What type of cable do you use to connect the iPhone to the digitakt?
If you have a more recent iPhone, you'll need the proper adapter and a 1/8th to dual TS Cable. The adapter can be purchased at an Apple Store, and the cable can be bought from most music retail stores as well as Amazon.
datastrainmusic why do you need dual TS cable if you are connecting through USB? I’m confused.
I don't understand why they couldn't just add lazy chop. This would take seconds on my mpc
I feel that. Or even some kind of auto/grid slicer of some sort. At the end of the day, it is basically designed for one shots and smaller samples so I get their initial thought process. I do hope for some kind of slicing update in the future though.
In digitakt is better use p-locks for chopping samples. Different story...
Depends on the source really. Especially with how sensitive the encoders are. Sometimes it's a real pain trying to get slices exactly where I want them. But I use both methods pretty regularly so to each his own, haha.
But where are all the samples? You can’t place 3 samples on one track right? You have to use three.

Hey man, I got a pair of ring/tip cables home, how do you use it in your setup here ?
It takes two mono jacks (left/right outputs) and combines those into a stereo jack. Use it when you need to record via a stereo input.
@@leftmono1016 awesome, thanks a lot !

Are you getting this error when starting a new project? Or are you working on an existing project?
@@minutiaemusic i think its a new project because i have to load all samples for keys 1-8.
