    Ok so this is my first Elektron product and I must say it is very very VERY impressif ! I coupled it at first with the Nord Drum ( make it pure Swedish drum couple ) and now with the Vermona drm1. I was surprised how easy ( sometimes too easy ) it is just to do a beat on the fly. The midi section is really easy to understand ! Plus the construction is really well made ! sharp machine and a real pleasure to play.

    Hi Bo! Thank you so much for all of your videos, I’m a big fan! I’m curious about the process of recording the Digitakt into a DAW like Logic. Would you essentially create a pattern and record it as audio via an audio interface? Are you able to record midi notes from a pattern and assign the Digitakt sounds to those midi notes inside the DAW? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. I’m new to hardware. My usual process has been a midi controller into a DAW, and I’ve been curious about how to integrate outboard hardware into the process. Thanks again!

    Loved this video! One of your best and about an instrument that I am personally very interested in. I'd really love to see you dig deep into the Digitakt as a complete solution for building tracks. Using the sampling functionality (that you did touch on a bit with the kick drum) to create a fully fleshed dance tune without the assistance of a computer or secondary gear. I know both the Rytm and Octatrack can be used as such, would be great to see how the Digitakt stacks up in that area.

    Thanks for the great overview Bo! I think you convinced me to get this little guy based on the morphing on that kick drum and the chromatic playing. This is exactly what I want in a sampler, quick interface, fun synthesis and the ability to play samples melodically and trigger then like a drum machine. I was worried that this would be too redundant with my octatrack but this feels much quicker and more fun (I love the single button sampling). Quick question: do you know if it's possible to connect a MIDI keyboard and play the sounds chromatically that way? If that is the case I may need to unload my wallet immediately lol. Looking forward to your other Digitakt videos.

    Glad you like the video my friend! You can most definitely hook up a keyboard and play those sounds chromatically. I have tried it with a Keystep and voilá: you have a very playable synthesizer. Because there are no arp on the Digi or other ways to really play it "live" except from the chromatic mode.

    I have a few hardware equipment like a Aira TR8, 303, Korg KP3, 2 Synths, and a MPC 1000. Which Elektron device would you recommend to pair with my setup? I am moving forward with a DAW setup to record and I will most likely channel my hardware for tracks. I don’t have an Audio Interface or any Midi connections. And I usually go from one instrument to another to track on my MPC. From the monomachine, to more recent projects like the digikat and Digitone, I am interested in getting something more modern and in date while prioritizing sound quality and workflow. I’m interested in having a synth sequencer and I will have time to invest in a machine and would just like to know which one will work best with my current setup to better shape my sound and for better future recording.

  • @BoBeats

    @BoBeats

    7 жыл бұрын

    Samples are saved on the +Drive in a "sample" directory. When you import a sample into the project it goes into the RAM from what I understand. But you can also save sounds. Sounds are samples+settings. They are avalible to all projects from the sounds menu. And can be quickly previewed and sorted.

    Great vid! Best vid about the digitakt so far!! So just to get my head around it. Every project has 8 banks of patterns which consist of 16 patterns per bank? and every pattern has 64 steps or?

  • @BoBeats

    @BoBeats

    7 жыл бұрын

    You are correct sir. 8 Banks. 16 patterns per bank = 128 patterns per project. A pattern can be 1 step - 64 steps long. But can also have changes to speed which makes either the pattern go faster or slower. That doesn't really add steps beyond 64, but it can give you access to 32th (instead of 16th at normal speed).

    Great review! and Hi from NW Florida - watching this makes me question my new studio current equipment choices, If I may solicit your opinion... As an "Old School" trained musician and new to the production studio side. I am heavily vested in Novation.. ie.. Circuit, BS2, MiniNova, and Impulse 49 plus my non-electric instruments. My Question is should I be married to one manufacturer as I am to Novation or try to manage many others like adding Elektron devices as well. I want to produce the best output I can within reasonable cost, but not get lost in learning ten different kinds of device workflows. Hope this question makes sense.. Thank you in advance

  • @BoBeats

    @BoBeats

    7 жыл бұрын

    I will make a more detailed video on this since its a question many ask. But here goes: Its a complicated comparison because both have big strengths in the same areas... Digitakt is much more versatile as an instrument goes. Analog Rytm is much more impressive as a drum machine and for actual live performance of drums. Performance controls are lacking on the Digitakt... BUT at the same time the CONTROL ALL function of the Digi is super impressive... The effects sound better on the Rytm. The overall sound of the Rytm has a more musical feel to my ears ... BUT... Playing samples chromatically is a lot better on the Digitakt. It just seems more musical to me. My guess is that the AMP ENV is not the exact same or that some other witchcraft goes on under the hood. The Rytm has a real master section - the Digitakt has 8 volume knobs...

    Hey Bo! Love the vlog. Big fan. About the digitakt, it is about the reverb and delay effects. Is it possible to individually assign the effects per sound or track. If for example i want to play a sequence or pattern and i only want the kickdrum to be effected by reverb or delay. Is that possible? Or is it more of a effects that works globally? Cheers Leon

    +Leon Ardos hey! Thanks Leon! the effects are send effects which means that you set an amount per track that is sent to the fx. So yes you can have no fx on say track 1,4,8 and some lvl of fx on the rest. But the settings for the fx (delay time for example) are the same for all tracks since they are global and not insert

    +Stephen Kyburz i should say also that while you can play a couple of octaves from the chromatic mode there is no way to switch the root note of the actual pad... so when you are not in chromatic mode the midi track you press will trigger C3 I think. But in step sequencing you can ofc sequence whatever notes you want. And you can play an octave in chromatic mode
