Great jam & demo - I'm surprised more people dont expand their elektron boxes with midi controllers - I'm also surprised elektron don't offer 'performance' mode for more of their stuff (rytm etc excepted). It's so freeing to not be stuck editing 1 page of related parameters at a time. (Other manufacturers too for that matter). I guess us 'performers' are still the minority of use cases, but there are a lot more people jamming now than there were a few years ago.
What a combo. I’ve been thinking about adding some hardware to the digi to expand its controls for live jamming. This device looks like a winner. I am curious: why use a midi host when the digi can receive midi via usb directly?
Midi controllers are great for live jams and experiments, Launch Control XL is cheap compared to some others, I only wish there was 1 more row of knobs, faders are long enough and great. I had to use midi usb host with my original digitakt so assumed it's the same here, need to look it up and try...
Because the DT and the XL are both USB devices, and USB is a host-device protocol. So you need something else to act as the USB host, such as a PC or a dedicated USB host box.
Great Jam 👍👍👍
Man I bought the Launch control a year back and now I need to use it like this! Nice work!!! Digitone 2 is incredible
Scanning samples with faders is super fun! (btw did you mean 'Digitakt 2') ?

I guess Digitakt won’t power your midi controller
