Digitakt II’s new firmware update adds a major user-requested feature – and finally lets it step out of the shadow of the original

Elektron Digitakt II.

Digitakt II arrived last year, and seriously expanded on the specs of Elektron’s modern classic sampler.

Most of what the original Digitakt could do, version 2 aimed to do better – it swapped mono sampling for fully stereo operation, doubled the audio track count from eight to 16, expanded the step sequencer and added new filters and improved effects.
