5. OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAKT DATA STRUCTURE

5.3 ABOUT THE TRACKS
5.3.1 THE AUDIO TRACKS
The Digitakt has eight audio tracks. Each audio track contains one sample, and the parameter settings in
the PARAMETER pages TRIG, SRC, FLTR, AMP, and LFO.
To select an audio track for editing, press and hold
[TRK]
key and then press one of the
[TRIG 1–8]
keys.
5.3.2 THE MIDI TRACKS
The Digitakt has eight dedicated MIDI tracks. They are used to control external, MIDI equipped, gear.
Each MIDI track can trigger a chord of up to four notes with adjustable parameters such as velocity
and length, control pitch bend and aftertouch, as well as eight freely assignable MIDI control change
parameters (MIDI CCs). For more information, please see “12. MIDI TRACK PARAMETERS” on page
48. Any MIDI channel can be assigned to a MIDI track and several tracks can share the same channel.
If several tracks are assigned to the same MIDI channel the track with the lowest number has priority
regarding parameter conflicts.
The MIDI tracks function almost the same way as the audio tracks. Parameter locks, LFO modulation,
copy and paste commands are available. Each MIDI track also features micro timing, individual track
length and time signature settings. The main difference is that the MIDI tracks do not generate any sound
and the sequencer data is instead transmitted through the MIDI OUT or USB ports.
To select a MIDI track for editing, press and hold
[TRK]
key and then press one of the
[TRIG 9–16]
keys.
5.3.3 EDITING THE TRACKS
The five
[PARAMETER]
keys open parameter pages that are used for editing the tracks.
• The TRIG page contains different parameters such as
NOTE
,
VELOCITY
, and other trig related pa-
rameters.
• The SRC page hosts the parameters that deal with sample selection and editing of samples on audio
tracks. For MIDI tracks this page has parameters such as
CHANNEL
,
PROGRAM
, and
AFTERTOUCH
.
• On the FLTR page, you find parameters for the multimode filter and the base-width filter on audio
tracks. On MIDI tracks you find the CC value settings here.
• The AMP page for audio tracks hosts parameters for the amplitude envelope and effect sends. On MIDI
tracks you find the CC select settings here.
• Finally, the LFO page hosts LFO parameters for the active track.
Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to edit the corresponding parameters. Press and turn a knob to adjust
its parameter in larger increments. Press and hold a
[PARAMETER]
key to see the values for all param-
eters on that page. For more information, please see “11. AUDIO TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 40,
