Digitakt can sample sounds from many dierent sound sources. In this example, we want to sample sound
from a smart phone.

to the Digitakt’s INPUT L+R jacks.
2. Press [SAMPLING] to access the SAMPLING menu and then use DATA ENTRY knob G to set
SOURCE to EXT L+R. The stereo signal is summed to mono in the Digitakt.

sampling process, please see “14. SAMPLING” on page 52.
