Elektron Releases Digitakt 1.08

Even though this isn't the long awaited Overbridge update we've all been longing for (fingers crossed it's very soon!), this latest update is still worthy of your attention if you are a Digitakt owner.

The addition of a master compressor does give the Digitakt a lovely "finished" sound as it were, and will be especially useful for the people out there who use the Digitakt in a live environment.
as well as sounding very nice you also have the option to side chain which is a great addition.
There have also been some nice improvements in the sample management dept and lots pf general bug fixes.

I've listed all the relevant changes below for you to peruse.

List of changes from OS 1.07 to 1.08
Improvements
Master compressor added.
The name of the sample loaded to a track is displayed when you press and hold [SRC] or if you are in GRID RECORDING mode and press a trig with a sample lock.
Screensaver mode is implemented. If there is no interaction with the Digitakt for some time, then the screen intensity is automatically lowered. When you add a retrig, the first up/down-arrow press now only engages the retrig on/off (and does not change RATE) on the first press.

Bug fixes.
When you load a Sound to the Sound Pool, its associated sample was not loaded to the RAM, if the original sample slot was not empty in the active project.
The last entry in the sample list was empty when viewing RAM in the Sample Manager.
Parameter locks on lock trigs are applied additively, but only the parameter locks from the latest lock trig were reset by the following note trig.
BPM was sometimes displayed with two decimals instead of one.
Press-and-hold encoder turn sometimes resulted in reverse-turn on release.
