Thank you for being here ! Tracklib is a game changer! Feel free to join up: ►tracklib.com/killen Here's a link to the Tracklib Digitakt Playlist I used in this video: ►bit.ly/3Q4Oa7B

I like to use the CitizenDJ sample libraries for interesting sample flips (as the samples are in the public domain/expired copyright). I often process them first in digichain before moving to the digitakt.

Oh interesting approach indeed !

I love my digitakt so much. That’s all I can add to this conversation. Liam is one of the artists that truly unlocked the device for me - among others like Ivar Tryti

Awesome!! Thanks for watching as always! 😊

One thing worth mentioning about how Digitakt converts stereo samples to mono. Digitakt just takes the left stereo channel and thats it. Sometimes it sounds weird. So the safe/paranoid option is mixdown to mono in an audio editor. For one shot drum or synth samples its not necessary, but with full mixed tracks it could be worth trying.

It was quite funny to watch! Looks like a great update though..

Yo that random pattern at 6:15 was sick! Guess you still got the recording if you need to get it back. Btw, how do you feel the oxi is a better sequencer? Big thing on the Elektron boxes are the parameter locks right, so how does that work on an external sequencer?

Yeah they both have their advantages- I might do a comparison one day because it’s a whole can of worms

Semi-related: What are similarly priced/classed grooveboxes to the Digitakt? I assume Akai-MPC One & maybe the Polyend- Play Plus are in there. (Edit: Ah. I see the Oxi-One was compared to it. Mainly the seq.)

Maybe even the sp 404 mk2 might be in the mix. It really all depends though on the approach you’re going for.

Circuit Rhythm. It does everything the digitakt does (bar the 8 midi tracks but they're useless anyway cos of the hopelessly clunky sequencing), just presented in a sensible logical easy to understand coherent package without the "UI designed by a moron with a head injury" that all the Elektron boxes have. And does it for half the price too.

So how can you integrate the oxi with the digitakt, but use the oxi as the masterclock? Will the oxi trigger patterns on the digitakt?

@LiamKillen

3 ай бұрын

Yes! There’s a multi track sequencer which works great with it

Hi Liam, just a question, could the Rytm MKII achieve the same thing as the Digitakt in terms of getting in samples and creating a track?

Loopcloud is the sample library with the official Digitakt integration - why not talk about that rather than Tracklib or Splice?

@LiamKillen

3 ай бұрын

Because Tracklib just changed their model and the quality / vibe of their samples is not something you’ll find on loop cloud (or splice) - the sound of Tracklib contributed to how this flip turned out

I just bought a digitakt to mess around like this. Great video

WHY BOTHER COMMENTING NEGATIVE STUFF? I often see Liam getting these stupid comments. I've learned A LOT from his videos. He is inviting and focusing on the music creation and is really good for the community. So what that this update came a long time ago. Somebody have missed it. And somebody is picking up the Digitakt today. And will find this video inspiring and informative. Stop spreading negativity!

There's not a video out there on the Digitakt I've not watched, I don't know why I even get excited to see new ones anymore, there's really nothing left to see now... This is just an advertisement. If someone only just bought it and found this useful fair enough but it's unnecessary content at best literally one small piece of information which could have been explained in ten seconds, spread out into a whole video.

@DrSmileyFace18

​​@@samhughes3527yes because the only purpose of art is so that you, who apparently watches every digitakt video, can learn new information. What a strange thing to ask if a creator. Maybe it's just fun to see someone else's workflow and see what they create? Or is music just about advertising synth products to you specifically?

Sorry, paying for samples is just embarrassing

@@LiamKillenYou’re right. For people in the industry, quickly amassing large sound libraries is a means to an end. Payday. Others who love sample-based production as an art, find that digging, chopping and discovering one’s own library is 1/2 the fun of the process. So if you approach it as a task, vs. a passion, it makes sense to just buy samples. Not my style.
