# 2. THE DIGITAKT II 2. THE DIGITAKT II 2. THE DIGITAKT II Welcome to Digitakt II. The Digitakt experience, but multiplied. A whole new dimension, in fact. Resetting the boundaries that its predecessor pushed. Idea after idea, OS after OS, the original Digitakt went from strength to strength, until finally reaching its brim. This next chapter is about what’s beyond the brim. Digitakt II emerged as its own beast, pushing what’s possible beyond the horizon. This is a box that offers an immeasurable collage of possibilities: 16 tracks that can be either audio or MIDI tracks, stereo sampling, a 128 step sequencer, and oodles extra power and memory letting you do more than ever. And then there’s a more modular workflow, swappable filters, additional sequencer mode, and kits and trig modes, all giving you a more customizable creative experience. So, now, for you with all of the above at your fingertips, it is time to take your place in this beginning. The start line beckons. Flick the switch and set off on your own sonic adventures. Who knows what the destina tion will be? We can only guarantee that the journey is going to be a fun-filled blast. Sincerely, The Elektron Team Digitakt II User Manual.
