Is it possible to do something similar on Model Cycles please?

I think it is important to mention that a big difference between this technique and sidechaining is that with triggered ducking, when you mute the kick, the ducking continues, whereas with the compressor the ducking stoos when te kick stops. Creative choice.

Definitely. In that case, I'd probably have at least two different patterns - one with the kick and the sidechain trigs and one without the kick and no sidechain trigs.

I usually hate when the ducking stops when the kick is off. That's why in DAW I always have a sidechan running if I do ducking with compressor. Although in Ableton I mostly use Auto Pan for ducking.

perfectly smooth and casual tutorial to send to your creative non musician friends with an expectation of them not understanding a single sentence and being completely overwhelmed by all the technicalities 😂

It's my fav Elektron box for writing music, hands down!

You can also create a sidechain compressor effect on your bass line using only midi. You start the bass note an octave or two higher than the bass note destination, but on the kick. Then turn on glide or portamento and let the bass note start on the kick and glide down to the note after your kick.

But there is no portamento on DT? You use the LFO for that I imagine ? Or you mean with an external bass instrument sequenced from DT with audio into DT

@@vagueversatile He says using Midi so he means with an external synth. But I still think his method is overly complicated. You can use the same method in the video but just set the LFO dest to a Midi CC controlling synth volume. Unfortunately my synth has 3 separate volumes knobs so only works with 1 oscillator.

Very simple and useful indeed, but the problem with this is that using internal COMP, you have chance to set the internal Reverb PRE COMP, that in some context is a must have, feature that you haven't using the LFO per track. However it's really a good and surgical method, thank you :)

This technique is exactly what I needed in my Digitakt life. Definitely gotta learn to make that Moog sound also, that bass line is amazing,

Your videos will earn some views, I'm sure. Because we are buying those OG digis that are priced so good today). Waiting for mine in a couple of days. Get ready, I'm gonna go deep on your tutorials. ❤

This is also a great technique with modular setups using Inverted envelopes into VCA cv inputs.

Digitakt is an instrument that everyone plays differently, it is like a sandbox of music with endless uses!

This is the only video that shows the correct way. Thank you!

Two years later and still finding new ways to do stuff on this little machine. Thank you, man. Great tip!

This is my fav ‘secret trick’ on the OT/DT! Really organic sounding

I love your long videos, but these short ones are golden nuggets! 👌🏻 Gonna try this on the OT and my Polyend Tracker.

Thanks man!

Great tutorial. Thanks for the awesome tip.

great tip

I’ve been window shopping for a new drum machine, trying to find something comparable in form and function to my TR8S…..while the Digitakt isn’t exactly an apples to apples comparison of the TR8S, I believe it can achieve a lot of what the TR8S can do, but in a different way. Well done tutorial, and I think this has helped to make my mind up. Thank you.

thanks! great format

what a great lesson, thank you 🫶

Thank you so much brother , recently got a digitakt and it just wouldnt techno for me... until right now that is 😂❤

Thank you!

Works also on Syntakt 🙂 Thank You 🙏🖤

super useful, thank you!

Thank you so much, this was awesome

Stellar tip EZBOT! ☕

I feel like this should be a tool in our belt but absolutely not a replacement for a compressor.

@EZBOT_

Ай бұрын

A replacement for using it to duck on the digitakt 1 though

Great Tip. I'm wondering if you could do something similar with the amp settings so you don't have to use any LFOs. You could trig lock the attack or volume in the amp settings.

Thank you for being the anthropomorphized manual. You keep dropping these grail worthy tips that I've been beating my head agains the wall for eons to figure out. Now if you could do an updated Push 3 episode where we can pump the 'takt's into it without having to open a DAW... boy howdy that would be a good time.

Great tip

I thought the answer was going to be "Buy a Syntakt from Patchwerks and run the Digitakt through it" 🤣. - I just realized that the LFO T toggle is for both. Since they added a second LFO they never added multiple toggles.

Why can't i do this technigue on a4 or rytm? They have also lfo and AMP volume.

@EZBOT Is there a method to doing this that allows you to duck and then release across multiple triggers that are not a simple 4 to the floor kick? For example what if the kick is on steps 1 and 7, and you wanted to use those points to duck a sound and make it release from there? The trigger setting on the LFO will reset for every trig and you cant get a gradual release sound. But alternatively if you use the free LFO setting, then its phase wont sync up with the desired trig points properly. Any workaround there you can think of?

@EZBOT_

2 ай бұрын

Just select the trigger you want to have be a part of the ducking process and not ducking process. The Duck start point you lock the LFO trig on and the area you want to be duck you lock LFO off.

So how/when do you use Digitakt's compressor, if you use it at all?

EZBOSS

for quantized beats is fine.

@EZBOT_

2 ай бұрын

You can go it with any beat

Can't you just trig lock AMP volume decrease on kick trigs instead of making lfo do it.?

❤❤❤

As long as you are not using polymeters and kick has no conditional probabilities with percentage.

Is that possible to do on the input signal?

@@EZBOT_ Damn, bummer! At first I assumed you would've used lower velocity on trig locks to make the SC effect happen. This works great as well AND lets you keep both LFO's for sound designs. Using the LFO is a bit more convenient to setup though.
