The Microkorg gets hate proportional to how insanely well it's sold. It's arguably one of the very best selling synths ever and certainly the best selling synth of the last 20 years. That's gonna breed some haters...

The great thing about your channel to me, is this: Some folks will wake up, discovering it's not the machine that makes or breaks a musician. Great machines are the ones that allow your expression to flow. What's terrible for one, is great for another. Wanna know what one of my favorite machines of all time is? Don't laugh! Promise? -Yamaha SU700. I bought one new, when it came out in 99. I worked in kbds/pro audio at Guitar Center in Roseville Michigan at the time. I made so much music on that weird thing, I literally had to turn one entire large dresser drawer into a 3.5" disk storage. I bought 3.5"'s by the case. Before I went to the SU700, I was on the Akai S900, sequenced by various other machines. 🤪😁 Kero over in Canada has my old SU now. He installed a microSD drive. (I think) 😂

I admit, I'm an Elektron virgin. My first purchase was the Model:Samples based on the strength of Stimming's review. There seems to be a special nature to the Elektron workflow and people who know it inside and out seem to love it for what it is. I haven't familiarized myself with the Model:Samples enough yet to know whether I like that workflow, but I'm pretty sure I do. The M:S is an absolutely amazing machine for its (admittedly discounted) price and you cannot go wrong with buying one for $299. I think it's a damn steal. The thing has a way of making me want to play with it and I often find myself fairly shocked at what it can do. If Elekton's more expensive stuff is as good as it seems, then I think they're probably worth buying. It seems like opinions heavily depend upon whether they like the Elektron workflow or not. I rather like it. It's one of the most intuitive instruments I've ever owned.

I enjoyed your thoughts on this. This is maybe the 10th item I own that you've covered. lol. The Digitakt was my third Elektron box after the Analog 4 and Analog Rytm (both Mk 1). I have zero regrets about buying it even though I would have been fine to just stick with the Rytm. I had several years with the Elektron workflow so it was easy to jump onboard with the Digitakt. It's actually a lot of fun to play both drum boxes together.

Enjoyable as usual. And of course, Pilz can make an old Nokia sound like an Access Virus. Crazy talent. Thank you for doing this. Now...the Digitakt. I bought it in 2018, with a lot of love and excitement in my heart. It was finally going to be my 'go anywhere, ditch the laptop, MY sampler'. Nope. Couldn't get into it. Could barely get it to make a sound. And I've been making electronic music for over two decades. Watched some videos, read the manual, decided to just dive into it, and nothing. At some point, the Digitakt started to piss me off. Sort of like a malcontented ex: no matter how much attention you pay her/him, it's never enough. Eventually, I returned it to the retailer, even though it actually cost me shipping. Boo. I've since thought about getting it again, but each time I look lovingly at my all software studio, my Akai APC 40 MKII and my classic Roland A-49 controller, and think: oh Digitakt, there is no room for you here. Sad, because the demo tune at 6:05 is a thing of beauty. Excellent video.

OP1 next please! Anyways glad to see somebody approaching it with a critical style rather than only trying to justify the massive price. When you can for example buy a midi controller and an ipad and apps that turn it to a music making beast that can do more than a digitakt or op1 and for about half their price you really start to question... Sure these devices have that tactile feel and the aesthetics are on point but these are all computers at the end of the day and a pc/ipad can do everything a digitakt does better for a better price with the right software and midi controllers also you get a device that you can do other stuff besides music! But I also understand why elektron/teenage engineering devices are overpriced after all they appeal to a much smaller audience compared to general computers so if they wanna make money the profit has to be high per unit too.

Great Job! It's without question my favorite instrument in my setup. It just has to be placed in the correct context. Its a sampling drum machine, with an incredible sequencer attached. Don't bother trying to do anything else with it other than maybe sequencing a mono synth. Sample into a daw or an mpc, edit your samples there, and then import them. Its entirely worth the effort.

The Elektron workflow will always have its critics, for sure. Their instruments require a bit of patience, but once you get there, it's awesome. I find I don't mind the mono samples, because of the ability to change panning per step (and any setting per step). It beats other samplers hands down with its modulation and trig conditions. Given what some other companies charge for grooveboxes, its price is reasonable, given the quality of the device. I get the hate over the learning curve, and surprising limitations, but frankly they couldn't do everything. It's jumping over to the Elektron way of thinking that leads to "bad gear" quotes. Nice episode!

The Digitakt is a great machine but I sold mine. Actually, I've bought and sold two. It's not because it's a bad machine, it's because in my setup it was too redundant. I have a MPC One and a TR8s and the Digitakt just wasn't needed. Also, the MPC One can do a lot of stuff that the DT can't. My main gripe about the DT is the lack of timestretch. That said, the DT is an excellent machine and I think the form factor is just about perfect. It's also a hell of a lot easier to learn and use than the Octatrack.

omg man, the octatrack has a steep learning curve just like this too. I feel like I have to make videos for myself about the things I've discovered so that I could remember them later :-)

Great episode, good on you for keeping things surprising & unexpected. Jeremy aka @RedMeansRecording did a whole album called “Soft Music To Do Nothing To” which was a live jam with only the Digitakt, Digitone & Analog Heat & it’s one of my favourite works. I think it & also a lot of Jeremy’s RMR videos as well as the other creators you mentioned do a great job of demonstrating the strengths of Elektron gear being so different to the norm instead of behaving so similarly to common gear edit paradigms. It makes sense that some bounce off it so hard, yet so many end up really digging the creativity it offers.

You should do a series called Rad Gear, where you find unexpected hidden 💎 gems 💎. Like underused, rare or unexpectedly powerful for its pricepoint.

Rad Gear already in planning!

First off-- that boombap beat you threw together is dope as hell. Secondly.. I feel like the Digitakt is insanely overpriced, for what it does/can do. It's now $60 more than the Akai MPC One. It used to be about the same price until everything went up. Digitakt: - audio tracks are monophonic - midi tracks are polyphonic, but you need external hardware (and only 4 notes per track) - basically a "9-track sequencer" if you think about it-- the audio track (8 sounds, with sample locks, etc), plus 8 four-note midi tracks - Chance / Probability (HUGE plus) - mildly confusing screen - no touch-sensitive pads (same-feel step buttons, as function buttons) - step / chromatic layout (a little confusing for some) - no timestretch - 64mb of sample storage (per project) - 128 total patterns (per project) - sampling directly into it - great effects - 64-step sequencer MPC One: - way more than 64-step sequencer - drumkits alone, are essentially 128 audio tracks (polyphonic, if you want) - 128 MIDI tracks (per Sequence / Project) - 8 linear audio tracks (per Sequence / Project) - detailed, full-color screen (touch if you want... you don't need to touch it, most of the time) - touch-sensitive pads (classic 4x4 grid) - polyphonic sequencing (internally or externally), more than 4 notes - monophonic sequencing (internally / externally) - timestretch / looping mode - 2GB of onboard RAM - SD card storage (up to 512GB, I think, maybe more) - sampling directly into it - built-in plugins (quite nice-sounding!) - great effects - configurable XY fx (with touchscreen) - scale mode for melodic instruments or plugins - chord mode (plus, input your own chord sets!) - step-sequencing (not as intuitive as Elektron's, of course) I like Elektron stuff a lot. I own a Model:Samples, which satisfies my cravings for chance/probability sequencing. It has two less tracks than the Digitakt, and no sampling... but, it's only $300. Transferring samples is pretty easy, via a computer. And while I wish the font was a LOT smaller when browsing for samples... (hello Elektron??), it truly does a great job. If you're craving a Digitakt... go straight for the MPC One and save yourself a few bucks. It's totally worth it. And this is coming from a longtime Akai hater. I LOVE my One. Every time I watch videos on the Digitakt, I just don't find it worth the insanely high asking price. It should be $500, not $860. And what it does, it does well.... but... I don't know. It needs some more firmware updates to make it worth the asking price.

I love my digitakt but it does take a long time , very long time, to master. I have been using only basic functions so far. and it's really good for sequencing vintage gear. the biggest issue for me now is the rubber coating on the buttons that is starting to degrade and become sticky.

Agreed! Haven't experienced the rubber coating issue (yet). Thanks for posting!

Update! Water and baking soda solution worked wonders. Brush all buttons with an old toothbrush. That got rid of the external gooey degraded rubber layer, the buttons still feel good (the rubber is still mostly preserved) but now they're dry and feel like new.

Out of my price range but still not a bad box. I’ve put all my money on the novation Circuit. It fits my workflow out of all of the groove boxes I’ve burned through. I can load samples in the circuit or the volca sample if I’m feeling lazy.

@@AudioPilz Did you know that the tempo on the Volca Sample can be set to 10bpm to 600bpm. Korg puts little Easter eggs into each all their gear - it's just a matter of pressing the correct buttons together before powering on.

Its impressive as hell you managed to point literally every negative aspect without saying once that its overpriced; only in the title.

First of all, the Fibonaccitech was perfection. One of your best yet. Secondly, you could fill a screen of gear nerds complaining about a Fender Strat, so if that's the only benchmark for "bad", then I feel like almost anything can make it into the series.

far and away my favorite youtube channel. how does the interface compare to something like Yamaha's QY100? Curious because I pretty much learned all my sequencing off a QY70.

You either really vibe with the elektron work flow or you hate it. Its not for everyone. I like the digitakt but wouldn’t be able to work with say an octa. Especially the mk1. i think for the money it makes a great central control of a 2/3 machine dawless set up altho it can support up to 8 if say you just do dawless jamming for fun. Its also very portable. Its a great grrovebox and drum machine imo as well.

Wow - had no idea about no song mode/express save. With the price tag I assumed it was more like the MPC One. Elektron has some cool stuff (like SID STATION!) but the price is almost always out of my budget, or not enough features to justify a purchase. Solid and fair review for sure.
