7. QUICK START
20
When in the TEMPO menu, holding
[FUNC]
while turning the
LEVEL/DATA
knob will not change the tem-
po to the selected value until the
[FUNC]
key is released. While doing this, “PREP.” will flash in the bottom
left corner of the screen.
Nudging the tempo is very handy when manually syncing Digitakt to a turntable or an
external sound source. Note that you do not need to be in the TEMPO menu to perform
tempo nudging.
7.1.4 EDITING PARAMETERS
Each track has five PARAMETER pages. Press
[PARAMETER]
keys TRIG, SRC, FLTR, AMP, and LFO to
access the different PARAMETER pages. These parameters affect the sound and signal in various ways.
1. Make sure a pattern is playing.
2. Press
[TRK]
+
[TRIG]
keys 1-8 to select one of the eight audio tracks.
3. To change, for example, the cutoff of the filter, press the
[FLTR]
key to open the FILTER page.
The parameter labeled
FREQ
changes the cutoff of the filter. Turn
DATA ENTRY
knob
E
to change
the parameter value, and hear how the sound is affected.
Try out the rest of the PARAMETER page parameters to explore a variety of sound shaping possibilities.
