@@e-conrecords4665 true that is why I like to focus on Elektron boxes makes life easier. Roland and Korg synths have terrible workflow in comparison. Modular is even trickier and makes me appreciate my Elektrons.
I picked up a Syntakt last month on a whim and immediately clicked with it and the whole Elektron workflow. I soon after grabbed a Digitakt to pair with it and they complement each other so nicely. My partner and I now spend most nights making weirdo beats together with one of us on the Syntakt and the other on the Digitakt. Thanks for the video, this is a great set!
Hello, I have a limited merch drop with a cool shirt with a cool crow and a cool synthesizer going on right now. All proceeds go to charity. Head on over here and get yourself something comfy, for a cause! www.bonfire.com/noisewins/
Like everybody else in the comments I too am stunned that you could come up with an amazing set in 5 days. Could you do a video to show us how you prepped to make such a seamless set? Thank you for the great content as always!
You can exclude trigs from the „control all“ by parameter locking them. E.g. you can lock the filter cutoff on all of your kick drum trigs, then you can happily tweak the cutoff via „control all“ and your kicks will stay as they are. It’s a bit tedious, but better than nothing.
Glad they finally sent this to you. The box is impressive, but I’m more impressed with your skill in using it (and seemingly every other musical device sent your way). Fantastic job!
Listening to the full set, its insane you manage to put it all together in 5 days. Really made me appreciate Syntakts power. One day! For now I will focus on the Digitakt :D
Hi Jeremy, maybe the 10th track is the "best" one to transform as a "real" track to release and mix properly as I feel it more deep, powerful and special than the others. And I think I would buy it on your BandCamp. Congratz as usual! ❤
I literally submitted a feature request for the DT two months ago begging for a Ctrl-Some feature, where you could option which tracks are affected by the ctrl-all. Glad to hear a larger community voice expressing the need!! It's not just a Syntakt issue, it's a frustration across all of the boxes that have ctrl-all functionality. Optioning which tracks are affected on a pattern-by-pattern basis would enable you to be much more free with your use of the feature without completely destroying the underlying groove, it's a no brainer.
Just picked up my first Elektron box, a Model:Cycles and have absolutely loved it. I think this has answered which Elektron box is next for me. Thank you for this performance!
This would basically make the Cycles obsolete as it has improved versions of all the included machines. Maybe swap the Cycles for a Samples and you’d have quite a decent Elektron setup.
Jeremy this was a great set. Great job man!! But who else misses the little comments and funny captions that he used to do on his OP1 videos. :) We love you man...
Great set. But I also had to laugh at the subtle “how many times do I have to say quick asking” positioning of the two oscilloscopes! “Figure it out already.” Lol!
I’ve been struggling for a while on which box to get. Between the digitone, this Syntakt or another. But I do love that this one can sort of “do it all” and do drums well. Is it the best one for drums? I mainly want a drum variant. As I own like 6 analog synths and create my music in the DAW so I don’t need to “do it all in the Syntakt”. That being said though… would one be able to do intricate beats , tonals and percussives with this solely if that’s the focus? I love the sounds of the rhythms, percussions and drums :)
jeremy, this is sick! I think this has finally convinced to prioritize purchasing a syntakt over a modular system or any software... time to start saving
So good! I honestly don’t understand the hate people level at the ST for not having sample functionality when you listen to what you can conjure on this thing. Great overview ❤
This seems like a good one. The music was definetely cool. I tend to find this type of instrument - grooveboxes - to be inevitably frustrating in one way or another, but so far I see no fault there.
What’s up! I know this video has been here for a minute but if I’ve never owned an elektron device before would you say there is a steep curve here? Like maybe entering with a Cycles would be less overwhelm? I have some minimal experience with grooveboxes but definitely a guitarist by trade so…
I concur with you, this great music coming out of a single box performing in real time is as good a review as a function overview could be. Now, that doesn't mean that us mere mortals could make music come out of this box so effortlessly, but the box is drool Worthy nonetheless. Thanks for the great set. Can't wait to hear what you'll do with this as part of your modular rig.
Without even watching. Just listening to your video (honestly thats how I consume most of your videos). I can without a doubt declare. Best Syntakt Review out here.
Would love to see you revisit this box two years in. Still liking/using it? Also; the sound in this set is very consistent, which is great. I do wonder, is that all Jeremy, or does this box bring you to a certain sound?
I draw. But I'd assume, that if you're a musician, and you're watching this, what better review could there be, than to just show off how fucking BALLER you can make music in real time. Do we really need to talk? Chef's kiss, every time Jeremy
Midway through saving money for this bad boy absolutley can not wait. Amazing job as always Jeremy from Red Means Recording, you are an inspiration and source of toxic envy to us all
Woo! Jeremy... bro... best Syntakt video on YT rn. Thanks always for a fuckton of amazing content sir. Not requesting a keystep/syntakt video with some cool-ass mod destinations wheel/pb/velocity/aftertouch etc. (not requesting at all)
Great set! Also totally agree on the ctrl some feature . What are you thoughts on the chord machine? Any tips to make it easier to create chords? I wish I could just press a bunch of notes in keyboard mode and the machine figures out the chord/inversion values.
how do you recommend one goes about setting up gigs and actually playing live in front of people. I'm prolly not there yet, but I want to work my way toward it, rather than just making tunes that go nowhere in my basement
I know it's not a full review, but I was wondering if you ever found a use for the Modifiers? I feel like there's some potential there but they way they work seem to hinder that. The best use I've found is to tap in closed/open hats without having to trig lock each one manually.
I’ve taken your how not to buy a synth video to heart and sold a lot of my gear that gets little use to buy one piece of gear. I like the groovebox idea as you can do a lot with a little. I’ve whittled things down to the Syntakt and the Deluge. I’d really appreciate your opinion. The deluge seems more flexible but to my (damaged) ears the Syntakt sounds better, more punchy and direct.
Although this is a wonderful jam and really shows your strengths as a musician and performer (really!), I can't help but feel like it still sounds so much like a Syntakt. I'd love to hear this kind of jam on the Digitone and Digitakt duo and I bet it would sound much better. Again, not at all a criticism against you as an artist - on the contrary, this is criticism against the sound of the Syntakt which reminds me of a higher fidelity Sega Megadrive.
Jeremy has box for five days, learns it, and makes a whole EP's worth of music on it.
...as is tradition. I still go back and listen to his model:cycles jam on the regular.
I know... my thoughts exactly. I have it for a couple of weeks and look - a few patterns! Five days in Jeremy's hand and there is a 20+ minute set.
Yeah it's fucked up lol

This is absolutely incredible. Possibly the best music I've heard from the Syntakt. You even managed to make the metallic hihat machine sound good wtf
God it's a challenge with that one. I hate that engine.
@@RedMeansRecording I hope Elektron is listening. Everyone is complaining about it.

Oooohhhh when that dark melody came in at 6:18 🔥
i love the transitions! they happen very smoothly and those songs were very groovy
Bless you - came here looking for a review but your creations knocked the functionality out of the park. Awesome 👏

My god that last track is incredible.
I love this, you can always conjure such good sounds on any machine
Ooooh Jeremy, there is a lot of good techno in there. Kudos.
Whats that tiny blue box on the right with the wave readouts? so tiny and fun I'd love to buy one!
Amazing performance on what is perhaps elektron's most inspiring piece of gear

This would basically make the Cycles obsolete as it has improved versions of all the included machines. Maybe swap the Cycles for a Samples and you’d have quite a decent Elektron setup.
The versatility of these little box's is insane!
incredible, love the sounds you get out of sy toy!
Your demo is a cut above as usual! This box is definitely a future classic, looking forward to see what other gear you pair it with.
Jeremy this was a great set. Great job man!! But who else misses the little comments and funny captions that he used to do on his OP1 videos. :) We love you man...
Thanks for the inspiring set. I've really been mistreating my Syntakt with too many basic drum patterns. 🙂
amazing! proper vibe, such a nice clean sound and proper groove.. awesome
Great set. But I also had to laugh at the subtle “how many times do I have to say quick asking” positioning of the two oscilloscopes! “Figure it out already.” Lol!
Woof! Definitely copying that ctrl all delay thingy comb filtery sounding thing at 4:40
you know, I have been checking TH-cam daily since Syntakt was released to listen to this right here. The music machine gods have answered my needs!
Particularly loved track 10 👍

I also totally want a 'control some' feature! Would be very useful
Also this music slaps most thoroughly
Seconded
Amazing performance, specially we only get to see this box only, not making it overly complicated with other 3 elektron boxes. amazing tracks
jeremy, this is sick! I think this has finally convinced to prioritize purchasing a syntakt over a modular system or any software... time to start saving
I love my Syntakt. It’s the best of the elektron boxes for sure
What is that oscilloscope on the right opposite of the Korg?
lol

Hey Jeremy, the Blue Oszilloskope Box is nice! Where can i find it ?
After watching this and MrDataline .. and just ordered a 2nd hand Syntakt. So excited. Amazing demo/tracks!

Might have to pick one up to go with my Digitakt after all... Just wicked! I'm a track 6 & 10 kinda guy myself... 🔥
I’ve listened to this so many times, a shame I can only like the video one time!
I'm new here... what's the little blue waveform display box on the right?
cool touch with those oscilloscopes how did you set that up? where do the outputs of the ST go?
They go into my audio interface and then I use the headphone outs to send to the Scopes
what is that blue tool on the right?
Ja there a way to use the fx ducking Effekt for a pair of tracks AND the Analog Drive for all Tracks?
Great set! Also totally agree on the ctrl some feature .
What are you thoughts on the chord machine? Any tips to make it easier to create chords? I wish I could just press a bunch of notes in keyboard mode and the machine figures out the chord/inversion values.

how does this compare to the Analog rytm? im looking for a partner to the deluge. any reccomendations?
You should go on tour with just the syntakt

Elektron should put your tracks on their official website as audio examples.
And has Ninja Tune reached out to you about a contract yet?
Neither sadly but thanks for the encouragement :)
Is the Syntakt worth getting if you have the Analog 4, Octatrack, Rytm and Digitone already?
Hard to say. A lot of overlap there.
@@RedMeansRecording agree think I will pause as Rytm works great for main drum synth.
What’s that blue gadget on the right?

whats the diference between digitakt and syntakt?
