Hadn’t noticed it was a mirror. That’s so analog ingenious!. Love it. Really liked the guy, now he’s my hero. :)

Great video as always Cuckoo! You really connect people to the machines. I feel like Elektron has really worked to smooth out the workflow with this machine, I'm impressed!

Mr Cuckoo, your tutorials are amazingly helpful. Keep on keeping on!

My God you (probably) unconsciously made the most Amazing micro house track! LOVE YOUR STYLE!

Very fun, enjoyable, educational and satisfying demo. A great insight into the possibilities. You + Digitakt = A fantastic combo. First video I've seen of yours. Instantly like you and what you do

Just ordered one, can’t wait till it gets here, love your vids dude 👍

As usual, your patience and calmness makes it such a pleasure to watch your tutorial here and the other longer one.

Thanks. The clearest explanation I’ve seen of the basic functions and other stuff that I’m going to want to get to grips with. Straight to the point and you managed not to call me ‘guys’ about a thousand times!

Watching this makes me happy I bought a Digitakt... learning slowly but appreciating the joy behind the teacher.

Watched this in 2020 and bought one straight away, fantastic video.Thankyou 🔥🔥

That part about reloading the original pattern in case you've botched it sounds super helpful. What a nifty machine. Great review as always cuckoo.

I've been messing around with my Digitakt for a few months but this video taught me a ton that I still didn't know. The Digitakt has so many little tricks!

Thanks for the tutorials my friends. Super quality

You're awesome and your vids are awesome. Just got my digitakt. Played with it a bit, but now will watch your vid to see whats up

Happy that reverb sent me to you! Nice to meet you cuckoo... sounds awesome with headphones on. I know it's 2017 but thanx for the upload bro cheers

This one is just amazing!! Please more Digitakt stuff...

Nice!! I ordered mine last night so can't wait for some serious knob-twiddling!

wish I could like this video more than once. could​ only watch first eight mins as it's late here in the UK but looking forward to getting into this.. more than that though im excited to hear what you create with this in future vidoes. love it.

You look so happy playing with it... Nice video !

Great little introduction... Can't wait for mine to arrive!

I spent half of last night watching every video on the Digitrakt I could find. Haven't been this intrigued by a piece of hardware in quite some time. Thanks for your videos, they're always so playful, yet in-depth. Keep them coming (and the bears growing ;)).

Yeah I know what you mean. Well, for now it's out of stock (at least for Europe) and I will have to wait more than a month for the restock anyways. Gives me more time to think haha ;) I think it clearly has limitations (monophony for example) BUT to me that's not a downside. This is a very special tool and I think it's often fun and leads to interesting results, when you have to work around limitations...

I have one of these on the way - THANK YOU for making these! @9:13 - Pure Magic!! 🤗😁👊

Totally agree! The way I learned my Moog was to screw around with everything and start with blank patch no presets! I learn so much in 2 days about how to shape cool sounds with filters and oscillators. The Elektron products are technically complex but so amazing well engineered for pros compared to the lower end toys.

What a legend. I love this guy.

Thanks for this, especially the reload sample piece

keep up the good work fella!

Thanks for posting this, very useful can't wait to get mine when ever that will be lol

One of these days I will power on one of my electronic devices and the power up sounds will be Cuckoo's Voice FX! Great stuff!

Great demo. Incredibly helpful. Waiting on delivery for mine tomorrow.

Also, say hi to your uncle for me; he was my hero in the 80s, much to the dismay of my parents, friends, and random passers-by. www.imdb.com/name/nm0935498/?ref_=tt_cl_t10

Just a week ago we had a wonderful event for musicians here in Moscow. Lot's of lectures, jams and discussions. There were few electronic gear shops representatives and they had few boxes from Elektron. Once you start talking about Elektron gear your conversation ends up at "Ÿou know that dude Cuckoo from youtube, right?" and the other says "That funny weirdo with a beard and mirror?". Keep on doing your thing! Your videos are appreciated all around the world.

+russianvoodoo ha ha.. well thank you sir! It's good to know my channel is getting into hands of likeminded ✊🏼

Fantastic!

nice video Cukoo! this is a good drum machine, ease of use, good sound quality, a fun instrument you play with, there are topics I'd like to know more about: sample retrig (as in machinedrum , I don'nt know if Digitakt has this feature), sequencer swing, parameter locks.

So so great

I'm excited for mine. It's on it's way. Hell of an intro btw

Looks like a dream machine. I'm going to save up.

awesome man sweet to know you

Awesome really helpful and inspiring dude

Suave/cool! Digitakt looks like lots of fun. Gracias/Thanks!

So good.

very cool stuff!

Never considered one of these but now I want one!

Cuckoo is the best!

nice demo, Cuckoo ;)

Thank You!

I never really clicked with Octatrack, but this seems to have taken some of the aspects of Rytm that I adore and expanded upon them. The CONTROL ALL is HUGE for me. GAS through the roof - can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm salivating thinking of my Digitakt-Rytm-Heat combo.

Cuckoo, u're funky as shit. Now I need this, thank to those stupid dope beats you were making. I plan on pairing this up Kilpatrick's Carbon.

After watching the video is there a way (or maybe future suggestion ) to toggle the button for master parameter control instead of having to hold the button and only have one hand for knob twiddling?

So cool dude..

any plans on a MPC LIVE review. Just got mine and it's pretty awesome.

Excellent intro sir 😁

Great video, so chill. I want to download your personality to alexa.

Love your wacky reviews Cuckoo! Question: if I am looking for a good drum and sequencer to pair up with my Korg synths, should I get the Digitakt or spend more for the Octatrack and why?

Great video dude as always! ;) could you show us how can you transfer samples ? which kind of samples,etc...? Tysm

8:30 Suddenly we're playing Earthbound

thanks!!! good one

I wonder if Mr. Oizo will get his hands on this. Cuz what I'm hearing definitely has his vibe on it.

Hello! This is Artiom from Murmansk (200 km far from Kirkenes) I've got Machinedrum and Octatrack! They're awesome! You are awesome.

Future Kitsune I feel you

Love your vids...how do you unlock patterns like you did in video? Patterns seem protected?

Does it record, in real time & play back, the continuous value (pitch) changes you're doing around 12 mins in?

nice one brutha

this seems to surpass the Octatrack in terms of "playability". globally applying changes and taking a pattern to another place entirely really sounds great. ive learned a lot from your OT tutorials. the OT does Slices better, judging by what I see here. but do you think these two boxes are similar enough to say that for most users its a 50-50 split on which is right for them?

cuckooc00lest! thx for doing what u do !

very nice tutorial .the mirror is funny.

Cuckoo my boi

Yeah finally

I would like to buy a cuckoo effect..

Love your videos. I was wondering if the Digitakt allows you to slice a sample into different slices and assign them to separate pads within the same track. Or is each track limited to one start/end point sample playback? Like if I chopped a drum break, would I be able to chop and sequence all the hits on one of the eight tracks, or am I limited to one hit per track? Thanks in advance :)

+casey krupp the Octatrack has 64 slices per sample. The Digitakt has no slices. But when you sample it, while it’s still in the recorder memory, you can slice it several times and save different slices as different files, and assign them to each pad. It essentially becomes multiple files. Another way is to use the same longer sample on many pads, and per pad/ track set the in out accordingly. But then you’re using up the tracks. You can also in the sequencer edit the in and out points manually per trig. Then copy and paste the trigs to move forward a little quicker. Although this can’t be performed in real-time you can still program the sequence this way as if it was slices.

ahhhhh, ok. I'm familiar with the octatrack, and was wondering if the digitakt could slice like that.......darn, I wish it could. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. All your videos are the best. thanks again!

Nice gadget for sure, if it had an analog circuit "Heat" knob to "color" the samples it would make sense to buy, otherwise maschine is still the best choice for sampling etc

Have you done any DT video showing midi slave/master with synths and DAW by any chance?

My Digitakt is on the way. As a Guitar Player, I want to see what I can do with sampling guitar tracks in interesting way. Looking forward to learning how to use the sequencer for my other Midi gear. Wondering if there is an interesting way I could use midi with Guitar Effects, like the Strymon Timeline or Mobius, for example, beyond just patch changes.

Hi, unfortunately I can't find a video that talks about a very important thing like the Pattern Change in sync between Digitakt and Digitone ...

"Hello, this Michael Winslow" :D

Is it possible to make a pattern and then put all the sounds on to one of the pads? Like some sort of transition from one song to another. I guess you could record everything and do it that way but it would be cool if it was possible to transfer a pattern to just one pad.

this mirror tho... good idea lol

Mr Cuckoo, if you have the chance, please review as well the midi sequencer!! thanks bro!

If you sequence an external synth and run it through the Digitakt inputs, can you use CONTROL ALL on those midi tracks too?

Why arent there any specs on this thing? How long can samples be, how many can you put in and does it have an SD card slot or how do you get samples into it?

You are some kind of friend already =D I need help! to decide which one to get first .. Digitone, Digitakt or OP1?

how does this compare wit machinedrum because I am interested in one plus Yamaha ex5

Reminds me of the korg electribe esx

Hey Cuckoo, Which do you like more the Digitakt or the op-1. I really love how you can sample anything from anywhere right into the op-1 and it looks like you can also do that with the digitakt.

Christopher Ruiz - I'd still get OP-1 or OP-Z. This looks cool, but there's only one demo that gets me weak at the knees. This is nice but not the demo. The OP-1 is still super unique. I guess it depends on the type of musician. The answer is either learn one piece of kit really well or if you have lots of money - buy them all! 😎

What do you mean by 1 demo? Thanks for the response

Someone help!! Just finally got my Digitakt, updated the firmware and just wanted to start jamming?! No sound at all?? Tried headphones, into the mixer nothing at all!?? Sequencer is running but not a single sound?? Any ideas? Cheers

does this have the same awkward paten management system as the mono-machine ? if i can load up a song like i do in renoise and save instruments and arrange patterns within the song then save it then i will definatly buy one. I RTFM 5.1 +DRIVE keeps up to 128 projects stored internally, and it also holds all saved sounds. The +Drive also contains the sample bank. All projects have access to these samples. 5.2.1 PROJECT A project contains 128 patterns. General settings and states are also stored in the project. When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of the Digitakt. From here it is possible to edit the patterns and sounds of the project. Every time the Digitakt is switched on, it boots to the active working state, the active project. So i can load up a project set a side 16 patterns per song and have 8 songs per project for example if im not mistaken. so is the sample library then imported into the project? Sounds are stored in the +Drive Sound library. The +Drive Sound library holds up to 2048 sounds. You can use the SOUND MANAGER to manage sounds Ah so it looks like you have a global sample library that all projects have access to but any editing to said sample is saved in the project state thus making it non destructive sample editing. So best to not delete samples from the library then :)

Dude this tutorial is entertaining. Did u hit a little doobie just before you recorded this session?

Thanks for the video. Have you had any issues with the Digitakt "crashing" Ive heard that this is and issue with it. Thanks.

It had some early bumps, but I’d say it’s pretty much sorted now. I haven’t had any crashes since mid 2017

I think your verbal sound effects are beginning to rival your synth skills. ;)

great video, was going to buy one of these today but still felt a little odd about it. Changing the parameters for all the tracks at once and then reloading the pattern is just what I need. Thanks for hurting my wallet

Haha, you're welcome (I guess 😅) I think Control-all and reload is one of the most fun immediate performance wiggles you can do.

can you switch patterns without having to stop them?

How about a video of the "Waldorf - Blofeld" pls :D
