Track Names for Elektron Digitakt II

The Internal Mixer shows each track's own name instead of TRK1..TRK16, with the track number above every fader.

Module version 0.1.3-experimental. Base firmware: 1.17.

About this module

Track Names puts the names you give tracks in SETUP > RENAME on the Internal Mixer: the first 5 characters replace TRK1..TRK16, and each fader gets its track number in an inverted box at its top left. The names are the Digitakt II's own track names, kept in each pattern's kit, so every pattern has its own and they are saved with the project. The mod only draws; it saves nothing.

• Your track names on mixer pages 2/5 and 3/5, first 5 characters
• Track number above every fader
• Per pattern and saved with the project, by the stock names themselves
• Pop-ups such as pattern select stay on top

How to use it

1. Select a track with TRK + its trig, open SETUP with FUNC + FLTR and scroll down to RENAME, the last row of the TRACK section.
2. Press YES, enter a short name with UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT (FUNC + NO deletes) and press YES to save it.
3. Open FUNC + MOD, then press FUNC + MOD again for Internal Mixer 2/5 (tracks 1-8); once more for 3/5 (tracks 9-16).
4. Each fader shows its track number at the top left and the first 5 characters of its name below; a track still named PRESET n keeps TRKn.

Compatibility notes

• Only Internal Mixer pages 2/5 and 3/5 show names; other pages are unchanged.
• The mixer shows the first 5 characters of a name.
• A track whose name is still PRESET n keeps its stock TRK label.
• With PERFORM KIT on, the names shown are those of the pattern you are on (not tested).
