I have a sound in a track, which I modified. I am trying to save it to one of the folders in the sound library so I can use transfer and export it to my mac. How?
I tried to export the sound and I did this. It’s located on the + drive in B002. But how do I get it to one of my sample folders in order to export it via transfer?
Do you want to export a sound or a sample ?
They’re different things.
Well, I’m not sure if this is considered a sound or a sample. I assume a sound, since it’s something I already had loaded in a folder in the sample section, on the + drive. It’s just a bass sound, I modified with a little bit reduction and wanted to save it to one of the sample folders. Then I can grab it in the transfer program, download it to my mac and use it on another device.
I think you are talking SAMPLE
Presumably.
You’ve loaded a bass sample , changed one of the tracks SRC to point to the bass sound .
Altered some parameters so that when it’s triggered it makes audio that you like ?
If you want to make a new sample (audio that can be put into soundforge , ableton simpler etc) then you need to resample it , save as a new sample and then use transfer to get it from the digitakt onto Mac/pc
If you want to save the parameters , so you can use it on another pattern/project on the digitakt , you want to save it as a SOUND
A sound is the collection of the parameters (pan , Lfo , delay send etc) and a pointer to the sample being used , it uses less memory than making audio .
This also starts to involve use of the SOUND POOL and this info is exported as sysex.
.
To be honest , the best way to learn this is read the manual , view YouTube vids and search the forum on how the digitakt is structured , hopefully the info above at least points you in the right direction.
It’s an important aspect to learn and I think you just have to dig in , learn the terminology .
Another way , to get audio into Mac/pc is to use overbridge , but I would suggest learning basics first .
There are a lot of overbridge vids /info but for a newbie it’s probably a little tricky atm.
Yep, no interest in spending 10 hours of my 1 day a week to make music to learn that colossal mess of a software program.
Yeah, like Re5et explained your going to need to learn how to resample it in the DT or just record it out the audio outputs into your computer and trim it.
A computer will have no idea what a DT “sound” is, it has to be saved as an audio file. DT plays audio file samples that computers can also play, but once you go modifying it with the parameters on the edit pages of DT it’s now in a state that a computer won’t know how to read. You would need to turn it back into an audio file…
It’s not 10 hours , install it and fire up the standalone app to keep it simple.
Resample did it. I didn’t realize that resamples went into the /recorded folder. So all set. I should have known this, yes, but I do not read manuals.
I don’t care whatever you do but honestly you’d probably save tons of time, stress way less, and be able to do lots more stuff much quicker if you read the manuals. Stuf that might take you 4 of your 10 hour a week time slots could be done in one most likely if you read them…
I hear you man, I read IT stuff all week and I’m just burned out when it’s music time. I have all the manuals for all my stuff printed out in nice spiral bound manuals. I had good intentions when I printed them all out. 
Whos Kevin ?

Per the DT Manual, "A Sound contains: A sample (linked from the +Drive), plus the SRC, FLTR, AMP, and LFO PARAMETER pages settings for the audio track.
Well, that’s perfect. That’s exactly what I want. I just don’t want it on the Digi. I am trying to export those sounds, as they exist in a project/pattern out of the Digi to use elsewhere so I can do more sample work in the Digi, and play those “Sounds” on another device at the same time.
Is there a way to do this BESIDES sampling internally? Either using transfer or that cool crunch/elk-herd web thing? Maybe I’m missing something, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to even access the +Drive sounds in the Transfer App. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Because a sounds settings don’t change the actual sample and are just a saved set of parameters, it’s not possible to do what you want without internal resampling.
I have just worked out how to do this on a mac, right click on the file that contains the project and use unarchiver to uncompress the file, you will see a folder called Samples, a Manifest.json file and a file that contains the name of the project, open the samples folder and the samples of the project are in that location in WAV format
