- This was a jam to test out how well I can integrate the Syntakt with my iPad. Using the widget feature in Loopy Pro I built some faders and mutes then just jammed out this track.
Really enjoyed making this one, the mix is a bit rough but it’s a jam so… :)
My god dude, you’re inspiring. Thanks for your help on Reddit. Damn I love this
@@tonycoon33 anytime dude ❤️
Totally inspired me to incorporate synth apps on my phone. This was great.
love it
I was just considering how to implement my iPad with my Syntakt yesterday 😄
@@visisydandthevoid the iPad goes well with all setups I’ve found. Such a powerful device.
Very cool. Really enjoyed the music first and foremost but also it got me thinking how I could try and incorporate some external control surfaces into my set up. Ive got a MIDI Fighter Twister arriving today that I was planning on using MIDI learn on my MPC one with but seeing this, maybe I can use it on my Digitakt and Syntakt too 🤔 plenty of head scratching ahead if i do but it could be worth the effort. Nice one!
@@DanChippendaleMusic thanks Dan! Yeah the fighter twister is a controller I’ve had my eye in for a while, it’s value for me is the ability to colour code and the push click functionally also, looks like a great device! I’m new to the Syntakt but getting that surface together wasn’t too hard, loopy pro does a lot of the heavy lifting which is nice, I tried a similar setup with touch OSC but I felt it had a bit more friction and actually I just kinda like how loopy pro looks 😂 Anyway I’ll sub and check some of your jams tonight dude, thanks for the listen!
I totally dig it. The iPad idea is pretty good too. Nice jammy jam.
@@Dadazoid thank you dude, I was really happy with the control surface I made for this one!
Is this Loopy app?
@@tonycoon33 yeah man loopy pro!
Ace! Time to hook up my iPad to some gear. Cheers.
@@iosmusicman no problem dude, I’m making a video on this stuff later today so check back here soon and I should have some setup examples for you!
One of te best syntakt sound I've heard ... simple but so powerful. And the sounds aren't that simple to reproduce. @StreetDogHanoi Is it possible to share it please ? Would be fantastic...🙌
@@samgamgie-tan5980 wow dude thank you so much for the kind words! Maybe I’ll do a jam breakdown video for this track. I was meaning to start doing them anyway so this track could be the first.
@@streetdoghanoi I was talking about an Stprj file actually, to have the exaxt sounds :-) i can share my project also if you want. But i understand if you don't want to share
@@samgamgie-tan5980 hey dude, it’s funny actually as this request has made me ask myself some questions about what I’m actually doing and truth is currently I don’t know what my end game is with the jams I’m creating so I’m not going to share the project but I will make a breakdown of the sounds and general thought process behind the track. By the end of it you’ll be able to make the sounds.
@@streetdoghanoi Fantastic ! We all stay tunes :-D ! Thanks a lot
Genius - never thought to do this
@@sndctrl just trying to turn my Syntakt into a Roland drum machine 😂
Super cool experiment. Guessing the Syntakt has a global mixer?
@@HalfBakedBeats Thanks dude and yeah it was fun putting this together. Ok not doing anything you can’t do on the device but I prefer these faders to the endless encoders on the elektron box and there’s a lot of button combos and tabbing views to get to the parameters I put on that control surface. I’m just trying to make it feel more like a TR8s in regard to immediacy.
Well done. Jam too!
@@krazywabbit thanks dude, just getting to know this box but the iPad played nice with it, love this combo!
Really cool. Does it mainly work via midi cc? Do you know if there is a way to get access to the fx block? Things like turning reverb and delay up or down? Or activating/deactivating the fx block with Loopy pro?
@@j.s.8933 hey dude,in the video the massive fader on the right is co trolling the sidechain from the fx block. Check out the midi implementation chart here!

@@streetdoghanoi aw man that's awesome, need to check it out. Thanks a lot :) I am sorry this dumb question, there are quite a few parameter sharing the same CC's. How do you separate them?
@@j.s.8933 that’s not a dumb question at all and it’s the point where I say I have no idea, best just go send some ccs and see what happens 😂 Good luck dude and keep hope you can achieve your goals without having to go to midi cc school too much 😅
@@streetdoghanoi Haha, yea all this midi stuff is still bit confusing to me. I`ll do what you suggested, just playing around with and having fun. Maybe I am able to figure it out in the process. Thanks anyway :)
@@j.s.8933 no problem dude, I assure you there’s usually a bit of head scratching and confused looks going on over here before I finally get a jam together that I’m happy with 😂
Nice work!
@@bo-bodad8253 thank you!
