Heh, they made yet another new box, but my digitakt still can't transpose tracks.

Some of the missing features from box to box are annoying for sure, e.g. also no arp on here or Digitakt, but to be fair Elektron do support their devices with significant feature updates for quite a long time so I don’t feel hard done to. But there’s definitely an element of feature segmentation to make you want to buy them all (and it works, lol)

I can totally agree with them not implementing complex things the community is dreaming of for the Digitakt. Be it a business decision or a hardware/architecture limitation. But I cannot imagine what kind of software design would prevent moving all notes on a midi track up or down n semitones.

Also for any reasonable sequencer architecture implementing such a feature should not be difficult (might even call it trivial(tm)), leaving only the option that this is intentional.

Would be very interested to know the reasons behind this.

this also has scales i think which we dont have either.. waiting for an update soon
