I just got a digitakt 2 days ago and I’m learning the workflow. I also have a model cycles. Very similar workflow but the digitakt is a monster. So much more to learn. It’s very exciting. Thank you Cuckoo!
@@diegod369 Just got mine yesterday, and agree -- there is quite a learning curve to this beast.... but in a good way! I have plenty of analog style equipment, but my music style tends to benefit much more from heavily modified whacked-out samples as drum and rhythm tracks. 🙂
Now that the D2 dropped I got a great deal on the D1 and I just want to express my gratitude for this video. There is just something about the way you teach that is just so accessible and friendly, logical but fun. Thank you SO much. Keep being you.
For the newcomers like me, the Save Ptn functionality works different now. It just saves the pattern into a temp location, if you want to save the current pattern into the project you need to do Save Proj/Patterni/Save to Proj
Just got my Digitakt a week ago. I read through the manual, but it's very basic and not particularly clear. I've watched this video 3 times now (as there's bits I forget when I get to sit down and play with the Digitakt. It probably won't be the last viewing either!) and it is a fantastic tutorial. I really dig that you show all the different ways to do one thing, and also what to be careful of (like clearing whole patterns instead of just tracks), stuff that isn't obvious on the surface or particularly well explained in the manual. When tutorials like this exist, you don't need to touch the manual. Brilliant tutorial, very detailed and expansive yet totally n00b friendly.
It was the most boring manual that I have ever read. It is dry in a way that also makes it hard. The Moog manuals are also dry to the point but the have examples, more images and take you on a journey.
elektron should just hire you at this point, this is so much better than those nightmare videos they put out which are just cryptic and full of unclear moves
I just got mine and am like pause.....play.....wait, shit, pause.....play......hell yeah. I'm definitely watching this tutorial all week during my free time. :-D
Man, I went to bed a few weeks ago watching this video and went out the next day and bought the Digitakt and watched it again and again and still turn to it. I'm an MPC Live surviver who thought he had lost all hope and this little machine with your help has changed everything. Thanks, dude.
+Diego Ferrey yes. You can select wether to sample from just one port or both. Also monitor just one, or both. You can also resample the Digitakt audio output.
Dude, I just watched the whole shebang in one goddamned go and I don't think I've ever learnt this much in 90 minutes, ever. I lack words to express how informative this was for me.
You guy are a massive sunshine in the web area, and probably in real life! Your tutorials helped me to chose my new setup, and way more than that, having a very good moment, funny, chill, and peaceful. Keep goin' man, you ARE the good vibe ! big up
You have got a natural talent to share your knowledge! I have only had the Digitakt for a couple of days, going slowly through your excellent tutorial and enjoying playing with all the functions! Many thanks for your time spent creating this video. I am still only doing the very basic things with the Digitakt but I am already quite pleased with the results. And I must say I was quite scared thinking that I will never be able to learn how to use this device, not even dreaming of using its full potential. Wrong! The workflow is amazing and your way of explaining it step by step is just superb! Bravo!
Through your tutorial videos, I'm sure you have the gift to motivate people in their musical creations, both in terms of ideas but also material. Thank you for that, sir
It's one thing to make a super long, incredibly informative tutorial reviewing an instrument, it's another thing to create a cool ass song while doing it, bravo.
Hey Cuckoo. I bought a Digitakt years ago and mistakenly sold it. And just bought a second one today. Thank god for this tutorial. It is teaching me all the things I forgot first time around. Thank you for your service.
My God I have just purchase this because I thought it would be a cool addition to my setup but was clueless as to where to start. You are, SIR, AMAZING. I can't thank you enough for this entire tutorial: I am now up and jamming !
that thing you were doing at 56:56 was not what i expected Digitakt to be capable of! had no idea that holding TRK down would allow one to pitch every single audio-track up and down and change filters globally. i really gotta try that out. thanks for making this longform tutorial!
Ez Cuckoo I bought the digitakt didn't have to even read the manual and this tutorial filled in the gaps. You do an amazing thing, for people like me to get the most out of gear. Big Thankyou New Patreon coming your way Keep onkeepin on
I have my Digitakt for about three weeks. But, wow, this video featured that much stuff I didn't know or even didn't think about. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your tutorials! 🙏
Thank you so much. You got a real talent in teaching. I think this is great specially in this era of new music made with new technologies, where teachers like you are not frequent at all.
You taught me the Octa, now you teach me the Digi. Can't wait to get my hands on mine. There are heaps of videos popping up with super cool demos! I feel like it's the Octa distilled. I think it's way more accessible and will be very popular!
Picked up a digitakt recently. Had a blast with it but I'm only really using it with the help of this tut, thanks a million Cuckoo for your excellent work ❤️❤️
Brilliant video - want want want. Damn thing's not in stock in UK until August. I shall pace up and down the room muttering 'come ooonnn...Come ooonnn' until then. Thanks for doing such a great and detailed tutorial!
Just bought mine and this has definitely helped me get it down way faster! I recommend playing around with some of the features before starting this tutorial, so you can really understand the power of each of these features!
33:21: - "yeaah, this is a kick I made" You can feel how proud he is just by the sound of his voice. 😅 And thanks for the tutorial... I'm new at this and it's really making me see the possibilities of the machine.
Can't believe you already this product. Dude you playing with the prototype months ago! This is good tutorial for the peeps who has Digitakt. Good on ya bro! 👍 It's nice watchin' n chillin' this on a saturday in a summer's day 👍😊
This is amazing! As a newbie to hardware based music production, I've had a hard time understanding all of the Digitakt features and possibilities. This tutorial is exactly what I needed. Thank you sir!
A genuine thank you for spending the time and energy doing this tutorial, had my digitakt for a few days now and as much as it really is electron's most straight forward box this has massively helped and been full of 'OH of course' moments. Thank you kindly! x
your enthusiasm is infectious. thanks for a great vid. I was a little bit overwhelmed by the digitakt as it was my first sampler. then i watched this awesome vid. now i am in digitakt heaven.
First thing I did after receiving my Digitakt was to watch this video. Covers everything you need to know to get up and running. Muchos gracias Cuckoo!
Wasn't so interested when the Digitakt came out, but after reading the Sound on Sound review last month, I'm now kinda curious and fairly impressed. Awesome coverage and detail on the functionality in your vid. Thanks for the time and effort.
Your videos have been so informative to the utmost degree. Having something this in-depth is ideal for someone that's wanting to learn visually. Thank you 🖖👽
Great stuff once again! Cuckoo and his classic mirror telling people like it is. Thanks for doing these :) Considering getting a Dikitakt, and this was a good watch.
+Fanu did you get the digitakt? would be interesting to take one to one of your ableton live classes, so ableton live + overbridge + digitakt == some hardcore learning experiences with midi sync, sampling etc.
I like you. thanks for doing this! I've owned a Digitakt for 8 months.. and I've barely touched it, work.. and other life stuff getting in the way. getting to it now.
Go to Novation's site and use there in browser music maker called "Launchpad Arcade" try it out. It's free and fun. Then Google "browser instruments" or "browser drum machine" there is a 303, 808, and a 909 you can play with and won't break. again free, and no ads, or spyware, etc... It'll add to your enjoyment, especially if at work... ;)
Watched this once before getting Digitakt. Then lots of other reading and video demos. Came back to this step by step after getting Digitakt. Outstanding. Up and running in no time! Thank you!
Just bought the Digitakt in 2021, really should have bought it earlier. This is by far the best tutorial I've seen that explains the basic workflow. The Digitakt can be overwhelming, but this video helped me make sense of it all. Keep up the good work Cuckoo
Hey Cuckoo, you are extremely talented, funny and an inspiration for the rest of us. Great tutorial, love your channel. Now, i need to add something to my shopping basket 👍
I don’t own a Digitakt (yet!) but I own a Model: Cycles. I’ve learned more about the quirks and practices of the M:C in the first 20 mins of this video than any other M:C video I’ve seen! I love the fact that the Elektron workflow is identical on each machine... Cheers dude, peace ✌️
this is super helpful. elektron's manual is pretty well written, but the organization of information here is great. i also like the creepy jail cell mirror use- clever!
Thanks for the vid, I'm still on the fence with Digitakt. My main problem with it is the lack of a song mode. Maybe this can be added in an update. Even Korg figured out the Electribes needed a real pattern chain feature. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, thanks again Cuckoo. You've been a great help:)
Mike Logan You can chain up to 64 patterns which can have up to 64 steps or 4 bars. Plus each pattern can have an additional 8 bars of trig condition changes... So each of those could be a song.
Yes, but you can't save the chain. It's gone when you switch a pattern manually or when you power-cycle the machine. It's a shame they always cripple their products down somewhere.
It's difficult for me to take this product seriously without playback. It's my feeling that an artist should be able to stand back and observe his or her work. This is how I fine tune my songs, for a lot of us out there the "playback" is key to a well thought out creation/song. Just my opinion.
+Mike Logan yeah, playback is very useful, and common in electronic music. Especially for straight up songs. In acoustic music though it's impossible. I think when you're performing live and devoting your attention to the instrument, you can reach new heights. But a regular song mode should still be there, I agree.. I think it's a shame they left it out.
I think the pattern save caught me out on the first day. Saved the pattern, not the project. Loaded a new project and when I went back to the old project the pattern was there but all the sample slots I'd loaded were blank so I had to reload them all from the +drive. Slightly confusing. I wish the manual said more about the copy and paste functions, too.
I can’t for the life of me hear what your saying when you plug that second midi device. What is it ? Wooden enclosure pile square? That’s what I keep hearing ha
incredible tutorial for starting out on the digitakt. I would have sat clueless without this video, so thank you for making it so clear. My confidence with this machine is so much more comprehensive as a result of watching this.
Glad to see the PL2 getting some love :) Btw you can also create a USB midi host using an old Raspberry pi (even the first one) and a USB midi adapter, for like 20-30 bucks total.
really great tutorial, clearest i've found. thank you sir for putting in the time & effort to make this magic machine vastly more accessible for noobs in such a clear way
Cheers Cuckoo. My Digitakt arrives next week and I just watched this right through - feel like I'm 51% prepared for it now :D Clear and humourous tutorial as always.
This tutorial should be burn on a CD and put in the Digitakt package. Well, in a "back-in-time" alternative reality :D. Thanks, Cuckoo, massive tutorial as always!
Just got my Digitakt. This is just what I needed to get me going without all the usual head scratching and frustration. Thank you Cuckoo! You are my hero :)
Even 4 years later this is essential viewing for any new Digitakt owner.
40 years later, this was essential to our dear ancestors, the now gone but not forgotten, Digitakt owners
I just got a digitakt 2 days ago and I’m learning the workflow. I also have a model cycles. Very similar workflow but the digitakt is a monster. So much more to learn. It’s very exciting. Thank you Cuckoo!
@@diegod369 Just got mine yesterday, and agree -- there is quite a learning curve to this beast.... but in a good way! I have plenty of analog style equipment, but my music style tends to benefit much more from heavily modified whacked-out samples as drum and rhythm tracks. 🙂
Same! @@diegod369
Even 7 year later 😅
Now that the D2 dropped I got a great deal on the D1 and I just want to express my gratitude for this video. There is just something about the way you teach that is just so accessible and friendly, logical but fun. Thank you SO much. Keep being you.
For the newcomers like me, the Save Ptn functionality works different now. It just saves the pattern into a temp location, if you want to save the current pattern into the project you need to do Save Proj/Patterni/Save to Proj
The real joy of elektron is watching the Cuckoo tutorial each time you get a new unit ♥️
Just got my Digitakt a week ago. I read through the manual, but it's very basic and not particularly clear. I've watched this video 3 times now (as there's bits I forget when I get to sit down and play with the Digitakt. It probably won't be the last viewing either!) and it is a fantastic tutorial. I really dig that you show all the different ways to do one thing, and also what to be careful of (like clearing whole patterns instead of just tracks), stuff that isn't obvious on the surface or particularly well explained in the manual. When tutorials like this exist, you don't need to touch the manual. Brilliant tutorial, very detailed and expansive yet totally n00b friendly.
Lovely hearing that Joe! Keep it up!
It was the most boring manual that I have ever read. It is dry in a way that also makes it hard. The Moog manuals are also dry to the point but the have examples, more images and take you on a journey.
Very good rock keyboard WAV samples:
th-cam.com/video/2C9RmV6hzFI/w-d-xo.html
elektron should just hire you at this point, this is so much better than those nightmare videos they put out which are just cryptic and full of unclear moves
I'm only at 12th minute and I've learnt tons more from you than from other tutorials on TH-cam. Thank you! You're amazing.
+MoogerTuber thank you so much! So glad to hear that ✨

"No way I'm watching all this"...10 minutes in..."I want to buy this and I'm def watching this 2 or 3 times"
+Daniel DeMayo haha, thanks :)
I think I’ve watched this 5+ times. Amazing video, tutorial, and instrument.
I just got mine and am like pause.....play.....wait, shit, pause.....play......hell yeah. I'm definitely watching this tutorial all week during my free time. :-D
Daniel DeMayo this is fucking brilliant. Thank you so much
literally about to comment the exact same. ordered mine thismorning.
how would anyone learn all of this without Cukoo? The Manual doesn't give much. Heading to Patreon now man, thank you!!
Perfect tutorial! I`ve watched the whole thing and I dont even own a digitakt haha
Larry Choppins me too 🤣🤣
Same here!
Same! But mine is coming in tomorrow!
same here... i need one now ! :D

surviver who thought he had lost all hope and this little machine with your help has changed everything. Thanks, dude.
I know a lot of people are interested in the MIDI functionality. It starts around 01:07:30
Did you trim your beard?
+Robert Syrett ha, yeah a few weeks ago ;-)
can i convert the stereo inputs in two mono inputs? i interested in use with 2 mono synths
+Diego Ferrey yes. You can select wether to sample from just one port or both. Also monitor just one, or both. You can also resample the Digitakt audio output.
nice, thanks for answering

Wow thanks! This keeps me motivated, mate. Happy I can be of help. Keep it up ✨🙏🏼
I've learned so much with you, I'm making my own rythms already. Knew nothing about Digitakt.
That’s sick!! Keep it up 👍🏼

Thank you so much for this, i just got my Digitakt yesterday. I just got through your video a second time and caught a lot more. Wonderful stuff man.
I can’t for the life of me hear what your saying when you plug that second midi device. What is it ?

That’s what I keep hearing ha
'the worlds smallest synth with an enclosure, the pi L squared' (made by polytec)

This video is absolutely everything. I have already watched it twice and will be again. Heroic
Much love!
Just got my Digitakt. This is just what I needed to get me going without all the usual head scratching and frustration. Thank you Cuckoo! You are my hero :)
