The voices use the OP-XY’s envelopes, filter, modulation and effects and can be selected through Open-XY. The repository also describes Ghost and Recur, which are outside the released catalog selection covered here.

digislicer

Elektron Digitakt MK1github.com

digislicer adds a sample-slicing machine and waveform editor to the original Elektron Digitakt. Slices can be placed and edited directly on a sample, created from transients or divided into an even grid, then auditioned from the trig keys and played from the sequencer. Waveform zooming and a playhead view help with detailed editing, while forward and backward playback extend how a slice range can be used. Slice information is retained with the sample so it can be reused across projects. The workflow keeps chopping, auditioning and sequencing on the instrument, without requiring a separate sliced audio file first.
