- I released a video course for Digitakt! Get here: davemech.live/...
All DT tutorials in a playlist: • Digitakt Tutorials
0:28 Keeping your kicks alive and kicking
2:44 Diving deeper
4:34 Examples
Back with another tutorial. This time I show you how you can control the control-all function of the Elektron Digitakt. It's a great tool for live performance and to find totally unexpected new sounds. But it can mess up sounds as well during a live-performance which you don't want. Here's how to solve that problem. I also show you many examples of useful control-all parameters for live performances.
Don't forget guys: hit subscribe, like, and share. It really helps me a lot and keeps me going to create more great content for you !

Yes, lock the steps. Flippin brilliant, well played. I knew this but didn't think to do it, you're a clever one, Dave!
U can copy step pages (1-64) hold page and copy, go to next page, hold and paste.
True :) very useful. Forgot to mention that in the video.
Thanks a bunch, was just searching for the specific info. 🙏🙏🙏
Man, amazing tutorials! Thank you!
You're making me love the Digi more !
Love this video :) thanks for all the useful information 🙏🙏
Absolutely loving your tutorials and your sound, keep it coming
Cheers Johan !
Dave man, another SOLID as F*** video dude, thanks 🙏
Cheers :)
watching this makes me think why have i got so much gear.its all there in my Digitakt.great vid man.
Cheers harponderous:)
Harponderous thats why i sold all my gear and bought the digitakt
Less is more!
Digitakt is a sampler. It will sample all your gear!
Ha ha... I didn't realise you could lock steps. Thanks for the info 😃
Thanks for the tips, definitely will be using some of these in my live set
Cheers, Great to hear Jorge
Wicked man! Putting all these tweaks on their own little pattern and combining with mutes....🤯👍
Awesome tips, thanks! I would love to see a video of you creating a techno track from scratch on the Digitakt...
I think I'll do some live streams in the future. Probably via patreon or something as it would be quite intensive. Keep an eye on my channel as I want to set this up soon. I get asked this question quite a lot.
Really appreciate your tips. Thanks for your work!
Hi Donald, happy to share, thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, I love your music, these tips are very helpful for me , I've not long owned the Digitakt . Thank you 👍
Thanks Jacko. Means a lot :)
@@Davemech You're welcome, I also own the Xone DB4 mixer, wow what a beast! I would very much welcome a link to a great sample/pattern source.
Much appreciated.
Again, very useful! Thanks for sharing!
You make it look so easy!
Great digi vids man, thank you
Cheers Tim :)
thank u so much for the tip: keeping kicks alive. i use often "control all" but always mute the kick.
pls give us more little tips for live performance! would like to hear u in Berlin. maybe superbooth??
Cheers, Arne! Would love to play in Berlin but it's tough to find a willing promotor. I'm going to keep at it. Next year I'll be present at super booth. As a visitor at the very least :)
@@Davemech i am working on little festivals/raves near berlin, so maybe i can help u find a gig, some days. :)
@@arenreiser3643 that would be great Arne. Thanks. If you have Facebook, let's connect :)
If you also lock the trigless trigs it will help stabilise the sound when using CTRL ALL
Certainly!
@@Davemech i didnt get how u lock a step somehow me stupid :/
Hi Dave, nice tutorials, thank you....You know if there is a way to control TRK button with a foot pedal sending midi to DT, so you can control-all by pressing this and have two hands free to change parameters?
This should be a thing
very specific awesome video! I find myself at the moment to enjoy info like this. I have a question (which might have already been answered by your video): when I control all using a LPF, for example, tracks with HPF won't be affected, right (and vice-versa)? sometimes I find that bad. Maybe I should be more careful while choosing which filter to apply regarding how much I'd like to tweak a pattern, leaving it more open to mangling possibilities. Anyways, keep this awesome content up!!!
Cheers Ricardo! Yeah that is a thing indeed. I try to keep that in mind but it's secondary to the sound design to me. Sometimes I'll resample a sample with a hipass on it to lower the volume of the lower frequencies. That way I can use the low pass filter live. Sometimes I shape a sample a little bit in a DAW with an eq for the same reason. I have a video coming up about that as well.
basic but,.. awesome!
Dave, this is really cool, your vids are always really inspiring; breathing new life into the DT! Ive got a request- can you do a vid showing how you sequence from your DT into your DAW? I think it would be real interesting to see, i mean do you do what youre doing in this vid for productions as well as live stuff? Cheers
Keep it up! 😀 👊
very nice dude
nice video! I didn't know that the plocks weren't affected by control-all. I wished the digitakt screen was a little bigger in your video. I can't really read what the LFO is affecting in the end. greetings!
Thanks ! And good to know. It's hard to read even on High quality? I'll keep it in mind for a future series of videos. Cheers
@@Davemech Well, right now, reading it in my 24" monitor with HD I have no problems to read it. But when I wrote it before I was watching it in my cheap 4,5" smartphone display. So it's big part my fault xD.
Super tip !!! Thanks !!!
awesome thx for these tricks!
What do you prefer for samples as far as compression and if so how much? Say on a kick sample? Do you use compression on samples prior to loading on DTakt?
Great vid.
Cheers,
Mostly some minor eqing. Im going to release a video about this in the upcoming weeks actually. I'm also planning a video on kick creation. I don't use that much compression on my kicks. I just create them to be snappy in the first place. I often take a day to create a few kicks. Studying the waveforms, listening soft and loud etc when designing them. It's a pretty long process.
Awesome! Mind reading is my thing. I would love to see how you use the track/samples versus drive and your live set philosophy. Great job on that set you posted . 128bpm?
@@Rustik1722 cheers, definitely planning on releasing more videos in that segment. First up is how I import samples etc. Hope it's interesting.
Depending on which set you've heard but probably 134 bpm. That's the bpm where I love to be :)
Hi Dave, I just discovered you. I'm brand new with this sort of thing and was wondering if you had a video on how to sync up a digitakt a digitone and how to get the audio to talk to each other, how the clock talks (I'm guessing through midi). I'm sure it's super simple, but again I'm new at this. Thanks for your videos!
I have a script ready for such a video. First a couple of other videos coming up though. Output from DT to inputs of DN, on the master page of DN set the input left and right pan all the way left and right and both at same volume level. Clock sync via midi indeed.
Hope this helps you on your way a little :)
@@Davemech Thanks Dave! I will give this a shot. Looking forward to your upcoming videos as they are very informative. Super stoked. Cheers man!
@@Davemech dude!!, it worked out great. I have that stupid grin on my face right now. 👊
@@WW-ek6tm great to hear dude ! Cheers :)
What do you do if you mess up your pattern with control-all and then you press func-yes by mistake? That happened to me a couple of times, haha, perhaps would be use to have undo when pressing func-yes again?
Ah yeah that sucks haha. Never happens to me anymore but had it a couple of times when I just had the DT. I save like my life depends on it. I save new copies of my live set projects all the time. So the list of projects consists of the entire growth of my projects. That way you can always copy patterns that you messed up from an earlier version of the project to the current one.
I also use quick save a lot to save the state when im happy. If you then mess up a temp save, you can simply reload the project.
Cheers!
at around 6:35, when the kick was muted, and you reloaded the pattern, why does the kick start going again? My DT doesn't do this, is this some setting or anything?
Pattern mutes! Are saved with the pattern. Globale mute mode is green, pattern mute mode is purple. :)
@@Davemech Oh thats new! Thanks Dave, I hope we get some new videos soon :)
Working on it 😊
@@Davemech another question. Is it possible to record controll alls cc movements? When I try it, it only records a discrete jump to the last value :( did not get an answer on elektronauts, so I fear this might be a limitation of the digitakt?
Unfortunately that does not work no. I wish it did.
7:40 just reminder to self might sample happy accident vox
Hoowww mate, why did u wait to upload that kind of tips haha? I'd just sold my DT a month ago..
Haha, buy a new one I guess ;)
another happy accident could happen when mum calls you at the phone while in the middle of the tutorial
Dave, do you sell samples?
It's a plan for the future for sure. I do have a couple of small sample packs from videos where I create grooves from sampling the city for instance. You can download them and pay what you want.
Keep an eye on the channel as I do have big plans for the future like good organized sample packs
Does Ctrl-All work on midi tracks? if not what about on DT2?
Nope doesn't work. Not on DTii either.
@@Davemech they should add that to DT2. would be so fun to jam cc's
it do not work for me :( i don't understand why, i lock every parameter on the kick track but when i TRK + turn knob the kick is also altered like every other sound of the pattern.
any leads?
It is temporary altered but when you stop moving the knob it should snap back into the locked value.
ah ok it doesn't work if midi notes come from another sequencer.
even with trigless trigs
@@Davemech no unfortunatly if you use an external sequencer i think that p-lock do not work :/
@@tacticalgrooveorbit2379 Ah that could very well be, however with triggless locks it definitely should work. A lock is a lock. is the DT sequencer running?
When are they just gonna make it "control selected" not "control all"?
interesting, just think every thing upside down, .... why not using Fill and anti Fill for tricks you know you will perform?
Exactly! Yeap use that as well. See previous video :) it's different.
what camera are using
Top down angle: Samsung s6 smartphone. Side angle: Sony rx100iii
Bit too fast to follow, but cool tips! Nice sounds btw! Goed gedaan :)
Haha yeah, I want to give an alternative to the many channels that are aimed at a more beginner level so to speak.
Heaven forbid a TH-camr aim higher than the lowest common denominator.
On the TR6S, you just have to …. Move the fader ………..
And with that you accomplish the exact same thing, being?
@@Davemech sorry for that. I’l exhausted to be in a war in my head between TR-6S and DT.
Because of your really impressive videos, I opted for the DT obviously ^^
@@Tom_Heller no worries ;) enjoy your DT!
Beaucoup. Trop rapide pour les débutants 😡😡😡😡
You can pause the video , you know ;)
