MIDI tracks use the same p-lock and condition system to sequence external gear with up to 4-note chords

Any of the 16 Digitakt II tracks can be configured as a MIDI track (assign MIDI SRC machine). MIDI tracks send sequencer data via MIDI OUT or USB rather than producing audio. They support the full sequencer feature set: parameter locks, LFO modulation, micro timing, trig conditions, independent track length. MIDI tracks can send chords of up to four notes (NOT2–NOT4 on Trig Page 1), with offsets relative to the root note. Each track can be assigned any MIDI channel; multiple tracks can share a channel (lowest track number wins on conflicts). 16 freely assignable CC parameters (in two pages of 8 on the FLTR and AMP pages) allow sequencing of external synth parameters. The full p-lock system makes the Digitakt II’s MIDI output as expressive as its audio output — CC values, pitch bend, aftertouch can all be automated per step.

Examples

Track 14 as MIDI on CH 2: sequence an external bass synth with p-locked filter CC sweeps and probability trigs. Add chords via NOT2=+7 (fifth) and NOT3=+12 (octave) on specific steps.

Assessment

How do you set a MIDI track to send a different CC value on every step? What is the maximum chord size a MIDI trig can transmit?
