Most creative DT tutorial i've seen yet. So many tools! thanks

Amen brother

Fantastic demo! Very psyched for the ambient demo. I'm a digit user and have employed most of these tactic here and there in my projects, but it's really wild to hear them all come together in once pattern like this. Extremely well done!

Wow the Four Tet type sounds and the pads from an amen break is super creative. Really enjoyed this.

Some of the best breakbeats I’ve ever heard in my life. Fascinated by your efficacy with this instrument. This video was the best display I’ve seen of Digitakt yet

That's very kind of you. I am by no means an expert but I believe in sharing what you know. Haven't been using my Digitakt much lately because I have gotten more into an Ableton Live based workflow but I have been thinking of trying to work on an all DT EP or something. Thanks for the support!

This is really excellent. It makes me happy that your process is very methodical and mathematical, it is a fitting tribute to the source material and also sets you up to play really complex material with ease. This was mind opening for me. I've been messing with my digitakt for awhile but I've never had a machine like it and there's so much to it that I get overwhelmed. ... I also lol'd at the John Cage "set the LFO to cycle through empty slots and contemplate the mysteries of the universe" quip. Subscribed.

Creative stuff!! Love the ambient weirdness, really shows the power of this machine.

Just about to pick up a digi and as a lover of breaks this filled me with joy. Great depth and knowledge thanks!

Dude this is awesome and really inspiring! I got the digitakt a while ago and I’m still exploring it. I love how versatile this little box is!

Thank you so much for this!! Looking forward to seeing the next one, been having a lot of fun doing ambient stuff on the Digitakt as well. Can't wait to see your workflow on that.

This is one of the greatest digitakt tutorials out there. Awesome performance at the end too! I seriously get jealous, this takes skill!

Thank you so much. Lately the negative comments about my vocal tic and loud breathing have been making me want to delete this tutorial and even delete my entire channel. So, it's really nice to get a comment like this. I am trying to find a way to get motivated to start making tutorials again, hopefully with some better production value, but its been really hard to feel positive about it recently. It warms my heart to know that folks like you are still getting a lot out of it and enjoying the musical performance aspects as well. Sincerest thanks!

This helped me so much! You really show how deep the digitakt can be with some creative techniques.

Reaallly excited for the ambient tutorial!!!

yeah! I would +1 this. I am on the fence to get a DT or DN for ambient and I would absolutely love to see how you do it. Right now I am mostly iOS mobile but I want to go more hardware :) thanks for your videos, Sir! Keep them coming!

also would love to see that tutorial... this is most awesome.. a BIG help thanks

This is a super informative Digitakt video. Thanks for making it! The jam at the end is awesome too.

Really great tutorial, it gave me a lot of ideas to spice up my music! I found that you can transpose a single cycle waveform by two octaves by setting end loop point at 30. So in other words, original octave is 120 +1 octave is 60 and +2 octave is 30. I found that the single cycle waveform were mainly good for bass. But with this technique you can get some lead sounds out of them as well.

Great video. I bought my Digitakt only a couple of weeks ago and I've learned more from this video than all the others I've viewed so far. I'm particularly interested in working wth breakbeats so it's really inspired me. Thanks!

You basically sold me on the Digitakt here, really enjoying it!

Thanks so much for sharing your skills. It's a big help. Been subbed for a while and have wondered how you achieved the ace results. Really looking forward to the next one.

Brilliant explanation and a great jam! thank you for taking the time. Digitakt is so deep! It's like a programming language constructing arrangements and sounds like this, but somehow it still manages to be organic, fun and inspiring. Great stuff

Great video and jam. I'd never tried resampling on the Digitakt, but after hearing that...

Another +1 on the ambient tuto vid! I like how another commenter put it by saying "love to see how you do it" because there are plenty of cool ambient vids and tutorials on the DT but I'd specifically like to hear how you'd approach things.

Been looking for a video explaining how to make this electronic break sound thank you

Not sure why it took this long for the yt recommender alg to suggest this one to me. I can't wait to try these tips/tricks/ideas/recipes out on my own. Thank you!

Jesus that jam at the end

Great! Please make more DT tutorial like this! Ciao from Italia! Stay safe!

that was really good thanks for putting that out there

Clap, clap,clap. Very creative. Good job,

PLEASE BRING ON THAT AMBIENT DIGITAKT TUTORIAL! PS Love your videos!

Dude! Mind blown!

Great tutorial. The granular amen sounded like karplus strong

Great video!

amazing jam!!

Thanks for this! Loved your track "can you think" and was wondering how you made those breakbeats sound so good! I really love my digi it's such a fun piece of gear :)

nice ambient breakbeat at the end!)

Excellent !

Great video! I think I've finally decided to buy one because it looks like alot of fun

Good choice! It really is alot of fun :D

I am going to have to watch this a few times to wrap my head around the process. I have a Digitakt and have only had the time to mess with it a handful of times. I need to get it out more and experiment with it when I can find a window of opportunity.

Nice work!

That sound at 24:30 reminds me of the start if Lorn - Acid Rain. Need to watch your tutorial again when my DR arrives.

Awesome !

the method around 10:09 reminds me of the intro to Beep Street by Squarepusher,,, really dang cool. ty for sharing this info, super inspiring 🙏

thanks a lot, this was really useful for a beginner like me!

Sick shit ! Such a clever use of samplez and LFO !

cool tips mate..tnxs

This is SO fucking amazing! Thank you mate!

This is so cool and useful. Thanks d00d

Thanks for the video mate. Has convinced me to drop some coin on one :)

🔥🔥🔥

Looking Good

vvvvvery nice!thanks a lot for this!

I think this is one of the best DT beatmaking vids, it's kinda pushing me to get one (and i've been on the edge since release day), i'm looking forward to the ambient video

Sebastian Hanley Thank you!

How do you chopped the samples? Because yesterday, i was struggling my mind trying to get that result of the LFO - Sample method, but i didn't get anything consistent. I sliced the break in 2 ways, one way, cutting on the transient to get differents one-shots samples, and the second way, sliced the sample in 16 parts without taking care of the transient, but i didn't really like the result that i get. Otherwise very helpfull tutorial!

Great vid

Fucking ace Man. Quality tutorial, subbed in a heartbeat

thank you a lot!!!

Sick!

cool stuff.

Nice, quality stuff, you could have split this up but it's good to have this one chunk of knowledge

Track 2 must have taken some time to set up... good job 😎

Excellent video! Learning a lot. just a question tho: I tried to replicate what you did at track 6 at 17:00( re-sampling track 5 at 40bpm?) but I cant get the same results. What am I missing?

Did you ever do the ambient video?

How did you manage to load in samples in the lower slots? when i do that it automatically adds it above. Also what are the purple lights for? i never seen those on mine.

@benallen4986

purple lights are pattern muted tracks

Nice

There is actually a way to chop samples on the digitakt itself by resampling

Any trick to how to set the parameter locks for the sample startpoints to exactly 16th notes (e.g. slicing by transient such as in Ableton's Simpler)? Or is this done by ear?

@Flohr

4 жыл бұрын

Kristian Burghard there isn’t really a great easy way to do this. I wish they added an auto slice mode. One option is resampling the full beat and using the slice mode to save each hit as a separate wav, but that still relies on your ears and eyes on the waveform display. You can also play with sample start and length and look up the ratios (I believe there is a table on Elektronauts somewhere). So if you evenly divide the total number of possible start points you can do the math and get your 16th notes. But this requires that the loop is exactly the length of your pattern. You can accomplish this by using a loop where you know the BPM, pre-timestretching it on a computer, or the hard way by tuning it by ear. Ultimately this is all just a major weak point of the Digitakt and I believe the easiest solution is to work with a DAW or basic audio program like audacity or Soundforge to prepare your samples in advance which makes your life easier. Although this advice is something that has caused commenters on this video to talk shit about me. But I stand by it. Being an anti-computer DAWless purist is silly. If using a computer for certain applications makes your hardware workflow more fun and better then I recommend doing it.

Thanks for the video. Im feeling inspired to focus a lot more time with the digitakt and just limit myself to it tbh
