In this video I make a techno track from scratch using only Elektron Syntakt. I use many different techniques and explain my workflow in all the details. You can learn how I make techno and hopefully benefit from watching this video by learning a few new things.
If you join my Patreon you'll get access to the project "Ihor Collection for Syntakt" and will be able to try it out on your own Syntakt!

🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.
This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.
I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.
I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!
I watched all the Techno Tutorials on KZread! (I think)
📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!
✌️ Peace.

Fun fact. 133bpm is the classic techno bpm used on many classic early 90s Detroit artists. Why? Because that’s the speed you need to cut a track to vinyl if you wish to make an endless playing lock groove loop. Accidental bonus also if you are a maniac DJ like Jeff Mills back in the day, if your records skip while mixing it won’t knock your kick drums too out of sync!

....Detroit Techno, Rotterdam Techno, Man Parrish, Steve silk Hurley, Juan Atkins and many others that have contributed to this genre...imo techno should be about bringing in new experimental sounds that takes people on a musical journey...if it's 133 BPM, change it, bring the journey to a different level... Peace out 💕

@@jonnyd4nger I like to play melodic techno at 127 bpm. It just makes it vibe more, IMO. It's a more sustainable tempo for dancing as well. A lot of purists would scoff at that, as well as say that melodic techno is basically just trance, but I don't care. It sounds good to me.

Wow thanks so much Ihor, this is simply my favorite track from scratch for the Syntakt that I have seen. Gonna try and follow it. Please. Please do another track like this!
Easily the best showcase I've seen on this. I know I'm late to the party but I'm giving some serious consideration to getting one. Been using the Maschine + for a while. It's fun but I find myself taking a route that the NI sound packs take me. And it's not authentic, to me at least. You made the syntakt sound great. Fair play.
Very cool video! Learned a lot. I need to admit that my biggest problem with Techno on Syntakt was rumble, but you pointed me to a thing that is now so obvious, but I could not see it before - smart programming of kick/bass sounds. Really appreciate it! 🖤

You have me falling in love with how you play techno. Do you find there is so much space to explore by ourself with techno, free from the ego and the hype and only immersed in our spirit and a connection to our inner existence? I love how we can share our journey these days. I grew up in the bush in the 90's listening to AFX and only being able to dream about how it was created. Thanks very much for your insight, and inspiration.
Another wonderful and inspiring jam. Thanks as always!
Just bought a syntakt and watched a few vids, then found this! Best tut by miles, thanks! More please like this

Great and inspiring demonstration. I love the Syntakt, this is a really powerful device!
Thanks for this Ihor, I had a lot of fun following along in my DAW, and learnt heaps along the way.
Great Jam! Love your energy !!!!
This was really an amazing video on how to create an amazing techno beat. I will definitely try this step by step 😄
Love your setup and flow, definitely gonna have to roll some of that into my own, great video and great sound!
This video decided that the Syntakt was for me. And after two days of owning the Syntakt, I've completed your tutorial. Thank you so much, my version of your jam is the most polished tune I've made after coming from Circuit Tracks, Ployend Tracker and Maschine MK3. You're a natural teacher. Great work sir!

Very nice, I don't even have a Syntakt or Electron device, but I just enjoy watching the simplicity of creating and performing Techno on this machine. I might have to consider a Syntakt as a sound source.
Thx you! view in repeat
Love these vids ❤
Cool 🕺 Think it will be my next Elektron after digitone 😄. So much sound designing features, wow.

Syntakt coming this week. I’m super excited. I’m gonna copy this tutorial for myself first of all a) to learn the device and b) to create a banging techno track! Nice work. Thanks so much!
