Getting started

From the project's README ("Install"):

In the elekloader app, add both files for your OS from elemods/: digisnake-dt-0.3-os1.54.elemod and seq-events-dt-0.1-os1.54.elemod (or the two -os1.53 files). Tick both, keep the app's core ticked, build, and send the firmware to the Digitakt. From the command line:

python -m elekloader.patch --stock DigitaktOS1.54.syx
--mod core-4.1-os1.54.elemod --mod elemods/seq-events-dt-0.1-os1.54.elemod
--mod elemods/digisnake-dt-0.3-os1.54.elemod --out Digitaktdigisnake.syx

It combines with other Digitakt mods: tested on a unit in one build with PUMP for Digitakt 1.3, DH-101, Digi Mono, digihealth and the LØST LVLS boot splash.

From the project's README ("DIGISNAKE for Digitakt"):

This is the Digitakt version. For the Elektron Digitone mk1 / Digitone Keys, use DIGISNAKE for Digitone instead: the files here do not run on a Digitone, and the Digitone's do not run on a Digitakt.

A Cartesian step sequencer for the Elektron Digitakt mk1, after Maxime Dangles' MDD Snake and Make Noise's René, as an elekloader mod (id digisnake-dt). Eight cells sit in a 4 × 2 grid that matches knobs A–H; a path, the snake, walks the grid and each sequencer step plays the cell it lands on. It runs on all 8 audio tracks (a note is the sample's pitch, like a note lock) and the 8 MIDI tracks, for external gear.

By Robbie (tested on a Digitakt mk1, OS 1.54). GPL-2.0-or-later.

DIGISNAKE carries on in DIGISEQ for Digitakt, as its SNAKE type, unchanged, next to a second sequencer type, 185 (a stage sequencer after ML-185). Each track picks its own type there. Use one or the other, not both: DIGISEQ replaces DIGISNAKE in a build. DIGISNAKE for Digitakt 0.3 stays here for builds without DIGISEQ.

> Unofficial and unsupported. Flashing modified firmware is at your own risk; the stock Digitakt OS always > recovers the unit (send the stock .syx from the boot menu).
