Tip: the filter envelope delay (which you explain around 2:18:00) can be adjusted from the first filter page using [FUNC] + (A). You don't need to go to the second filter page to tweak it. I only learned this myself today.
Thank you so much for creating this! I'm familiar with elektron devices but recently picked up a digitakt and it was wonderful to feel fluent after 2hrs and this video.
Thanks Elaine, hope you like it. There are a couple more to yet to be released. This year is Elektron year for the channel. I plan to cover all or most of them.
So usefull!!! I watched this video the day before i got my Digitakt and was able to immediatly have fun with it right out of the box without even touching the manual thanks to you!
Got the Digtone synth a few weeks ago and ive been playing ur video over and over again and I've learned so much from watching keep up the good work man.
This is one great tutorial. First I thought.... yeah yeah, I know that already.... but suddenly you deep dive into the possibilties. Great!!! Helpes me a lot!
Dang you back !! Thanks for the help, glad to hear you liked it. Digitakt 2 will happen for sure, but I need an extra 1k to get it, I will at some point. Thanks for the coffee.
Awesome ! I actually noticed your guides are the best for to watch to really understand the devices. Funny thing - my Digitakt arrives tomorrow, so the timing of releasing this video is perfect 🤩
thank you very much! You have a talent for explaining complex things simply and clearly. This is the second time I've watched this video. It helps a lot!
Oh yeah I know mate! ;) No but seriously I kept telling myself "I'll go grab my digitakt and try what he just showed me" but then you kept coming with more and more interesting things I ended up watching the whole thing. Great video, fast and clear talking, great quality. Please keep doing more of these.
@@XNBeatsMusicThis is freakin awesome!!! By far the best in depth tutorial on the Tube! Thanks man!🙏🙏🙏 Is there any chance you might do one for the Octatrack? That would truely be revolutionary.
@@TK421SSDD thanks 👍, glad you liked it.For now Octatrack is a no, is a way too large device to cover, it would take me a lot of time, effort snd money because I would have to buy it. And I am barely making money with these videos. But, idk maybe in the near future I would :)
Thanks for your awesome response my man! 🙏 I can imagine you’re not going that path, but it was worth asking right ;) If anybody knows a really good Octatrack tutorial than by all means..
Holy crap !!! Thanks for the help !!! Glad you liked it :). Yesterday my coffee machine broke, no fix. So this will help to get a new one. Men I miss coffee so much.
thanks! i just picked up a digitakt to complement my syntakt and digitone. this & your other tutorials on the DT helped me get up & running quickly with my first sample based synth. excellent tutorials!
So thorough! Very grateful for your clear presentation and all the thought/time you put into this. You have really helped me master the basics. Sending you a YT "thanks" donation
Really good video tutorial. Super compact, and if you feel it's going too fast, - you can always slow down the speed of the video. Sure it'll sound like the author is drunk, but I'm confident most of you will overcome the impulse to laugh after a short while.
Wow & thanks for this. The first 60 minutes basically are an overview of the basics for the Digitakt, Digitone, and Syntakt (and more?). Learn this well and enjoy exploring them all. Great work.
Yes! That is was we need, deep dive! Thank you! Manuals is not he best way to learn how to use such stuff. Only thing I dream is videos about ST. And how to use in different ways, routings, sound design stuff. Yay!! :)
Thanks !! Hope you like it. I am planning a run of Elektron devices, coming up next is Syntakt, Analog rytm and Digitone. If they do well, I'll do more videos, like chaining, creating performances and so on. Thanks for the comment :) !!!
Totally agree. Although much of what is mentioned in this video applies to syntakt as well. I own Syntakt but not the Digitakt. Nevertheless I watched most of this video and it was very helpful. BRAVO XNB!
Useful tip with mute mode: The Pattern mutes are affected by the temp save/undo function. This is great when using the Ctrl+All function. 1. Mute the kick in pattern mute mode 2. Use ctrl+all (TRK+param) to mangle other parameters 3. func+no to bring everything back to the temp save state including the now-unmuted kick.
At 40:00, CH.LEN is "Change Length", not "Channel Length". From the manual: CH.LEN (Change Length) controls for how long the active pattern plays before a cued or chained pattern begins to play. This setting is important when, for example, you set M.LEN to INF. If you do not make any CH.LEN setting, the pattern plays infinitely, and the next pattern is thus not cued. By default a cued pattern change happens at the end of the pattern (CH.LEN set to OFF).
Yeah I Know. Every time I see CH it's usually channel on pretty much the rest of the world, in the video I say channel but I was trying to say "change". You cannot get everything 200% right specially when you record, talk, follow a script, monitor yourself ( video and audio ). I've tried. Usually when you record a 10 min video you usually get everything right, but on a 2hs video you get tired and the mind plays tricks. Unfortunately YT removed the function of adding notes after uploading and publishing. Once is out, there is no going back :S
Yes sir. Syntakt is next, Analog Rytm and then Digitone. I already have them, I just need to do the work. It takes a lot of time. But I'll get there sooner or later :)
Best video on this exellent machine. A tutorial on how to record an external synth into Digitakt would be good. At least for me. I d line to use my Miiänilogue xd
Can you do one of these dee deep guides for the syntakt please, their so informative and I know there's a lot of syntakt users out who would really appreciate it, your is amazing thankyou in advance❤🙏
@@Dj_BruceKirby I see. It is not always easy to follow it. Come on, recording and triggers are described in sick way. Did you try with: 1) do basic thing and try to incorporate very, very small steps from manual? It usually does the trick. This kind of tutorial shows nothing more than extract of the manual
I suppose that's we us newbies would like someone who spends all day doing to come up with a 2 hour tutorial, that's why there's so many 2nd digitakts and digitones forsale, people find it quite difficult to get the workflow, and don't have the time to do bit by bit, the world we live in has a very short attention span, or a mortgage to pay off which means their working.....if theirs a complete deep dive into the syntakt we newbies would be muchly appreciated. I will keep searching and encourage the musos who do gave time to learn the syntakt to maybe share there knowledge 😉
Hi, Really nice as usual! I don't own this machine but it's a very good way to understand what it can do and for any purpose! How much I'd appreciate a same deep dive guide for the kai `force ! Take care!
Thank you so much for what you are doing for us, I think it's the best tutorial out there ! I had one question though, is there any way to use for instance the filter on the master for example while performing with song mode and we want to use as fx ? Thank you so much
hello Good morning, Do you know if it is possible in song or chain mode to use reverb, delay and LFO on all patterns and not pattern by pattern ? Thanks
This is amazing thanks. I've not got through all of it yet, but I can't find the part about sample recording and the different machines that came with 1.5, does it have this? No worries if not.
Great tutorial, thank you. At the grid record part I didn't see, what happen, when I press the Fuction button + the grid and the grid's color changing yellow. Could you tell me? Thanks in advance!
Hi, n00b question (I hope to explain myself well): I have a 120 BPM beat set to a length of 64/64, but I have to write a bassline that is like 128/128 long. Is it possible to extend the length of the audio track without having to modify BPM?
I was afraid that the 64mb storage would be a problem, but a) thats just the RAM, b) 127 slots has been more than enough for me so far. In fact, Ive only got 52 samples slots used up currently and maybe 15 in actual use in my project atm.
I have watched this and jumped around the chapters but can’t seem to get an answer on this. If you have a long sample loop on one trig, how can you make it play in full while the rest of the trigs play a 16 step loop?
@@r-e-s-o-n-a-n-t Yeah, not really. The channel is too small right now. And I don't hype products, or do reviews, for now at least. I create courses really. So, stores and manufacturers are not really interested. But...if the channel keeps growing they will at some point.

Thank you !! That is always the idea, I always plan the videos like a course, "crawl, walk, run" workflow. Thanks for the comment
one of the best tutorials ever. Perfect pace, good level of detail. Very nice. Your voice reminds me of Omri Cohen.
