Thanks for watching! Quick note, I didn't mention song mode because I haven't really put to use yet. We will for these set of jams when we record them, but I didn't intentionally ignore it. It's an incredible addition to the Digi boxes! Also forgot to mention we'll be uploading the samples from the Digitakt to our Patreon later today/tonight as well. Have a great day ❤
Ok you’re just showing off now. I have argon and cobalt in my shopping 🛒. Purchased the Peak and Model D because of you too. I’m blaming you for my GAs 😂
@TeftyMeems: nice little setup you've got there. Thanks for sharing! As for your stuck note problem: it looks like you've configured the minifreak on the 'auto channel' this means when you hit a note on the minifreak and switch tracks on the digitakt before releasing the key on the minifreak your typhon never recieves the midi note-off event, because that is now being send somewhere else... So what you need to do to not make this happen is always release the keys on your minifreak before switching tracks on the digitakt. If you make a mistake, which happens to me all the time, the quick solution is to hit stop on the digitakt twice. It will send a all-notes-off event on all configured midi tracks. Neat hey? Those guys at elektron are smart...
I just picked up a Digitakt and this is just the video I needed. Also own a Cobalt and a few volcas (the gateway drug of the synth world) so it's awesome to see the Digitakt can work well with everything. I own an SL MKiii and really adore the arp on it so would be interested to know if the Digitakt syncs well with other sequencers?
Yeah you should be able to get the SL synced up. You might have to clock the SL to the Digitakt though. Although you might be able to have the Digitakt clock to the SL, but if it’s going to be the main sequencer in the setup, might as well make it the master clock. And yes, love those novation arps!
That was nice, mate, Appreciated the deeper dive into the MIDI setup on the Digitakt - something that I've been putting off playing with for while. Just seems a little too daunting at the moment. That being said, did have some success getting the DT to talk to my NDLR MIDI controller, and I've been using that as my MIDI part generator. What I do like about the NDLR is the multitude of modulation options available to me. Couple that to the Digi and I have an incredibly versatile setup that's good for those rare moments of inspo where I definitely don't want to spend ages programming a track.
Thanks Bottle! I hear ya on the ‘daunting’. The Digitakt isn’t too bad honestly. Not like the Octatrack 🤣. My suggestion, if you’re interested, would be to grab one synth and control it with the Digitakt until it’s super easy for you. Also get a few custom samples loaded on the DT. The Elektron Transfer app is pretty easy to use nowadays so you can just load samples. Just my 2 cents ❤️
Sounds awesome Tefty! HNY to you and Meems! Now that Digitakt has song mode, could you do a video on live recording midi into saved chained patterns so that longer than 64 step sequences can be played without having to lose resolution? ✌🙇
Really nice video! I learnt a lot. The step sequencer on the MPC One is a bit rubbish compared to the Elektron sequencer :) I find it weird that what you can see in the grid view doesn't show in the step sequencer - is it like two sequencers per track? I find it weird to work with.
The step sequencer in the One is pretty useless. I can't figure out what features it has that the regular tracks don't. I never use it in mine - if I want real step sequencing I use my SQ-1 for CV or my MonoStation for MIDI.
Is it possible to connect all MIDI Tracks just by connecting MIDI out/trough? And does the digitakt have the ability to record every channel separate in Ableton ?
You always make some killer jams! To a question I want to ask, If I own the MPC one, TR-8s would the Syntakt or the Digitakt be wiser to purchase? I know you have both I want to get into elektron boxes I'm having a hard time choosing. Thanks
Thanks Darkice! To answer your question … it really depends 🤣 If you plan on having the MPC as the master clock and in the mix of everything, then I’d go with the Syntakt personally because the extra midi channels won’t be used and the MPC can cover those sampling duties. However, If you’re looking for an alternate master sequencer to change things up and maybe make the MPC just a sound module to trigger some samples/synths, then I’d go Digitakt. Hope that helps! ❤️🙏
Honestly, could make it all work on just the Digitakt, but I’d be super limited. The reason for the Argon and Typhon is hands on control of the parts while recording the jams live. If they’re just samples in Digitakt, I find myself way less likely to manipulate them live. Plus, it’s a different sound (especially the mono part). Thanks for watching 🙏
Hi Tefty. Can you explain how do you feed Typhon with midi, I can clearly see midi out of the DT and split cable going toward Modal Synths, midi in of DT comes from the MiniFreak. It's not clear how the Typhon and the MF were fed with midi from the DT. Thank you.
I have a midi splitter connected to the main out. One end goes to the Argon and the other to the Cobalt. The Argon then feeds the Typhon. The Cobalt feeds the MiniFreak. And that's it 👍
Thank you! There’s only one Digitakt. You might be thinking the Digitone or Syntakt. Neither of those handle samples, only the Digitakt. Thanks for watching 🙏
This is the channel I’ve been looking for! Why has my yt algorithm ignored you for so long?!

That is really cool...have you played with PlugIn Guru Unify yet? Cool for creating performance setups using VSTs.
Thanks Tony! haven’t worked with Unify yet. Will definitely check it out.
Ok you’re just showing off now. I have argon and cobalt in my shopping 🛒. Purchased the Peak and Model D because of you too. I’m blaming you for my GAs 😂
My apologies 🙏😩🤣 I’ve been really enjoying the Modal gear. They don’t get a lot of love in the TH-cam Synth’Sphere but they’re awesome synths.
@@TeftyMeems when I go bankrupt from buying all these synthesizers I’m coming for you. 😆
Oh wow, I've got to try that arp trick around 22:00!
The into song and video jam were nice. Thanks for sharing
That's one hell of a line up honestly
love seeing the cobalt8 and argon8 in jams

Great setup and jams! 🔥 But wait, the MPC has a step sequencer? 😂
Mpc step sequencer: I only use it for automation. It has preset shapes which can be fun
Interesting! That’s a good use.
great setup
Your tracks are very musical! which is my preference! lot of videos are kind of random noise!
Cool setup, but I would have liked a longer performance. 😎👍
Sounds awesome Tefty! HNY to you and Meems! Now that Digitakt has song mode, could you do a video on live recording midi into saved chained patterns so that longer than 64 step sequences can be played without having to lose resolution? ✌🙇
Thank you Sarah! That’s a great idea 🙌 I’ll do some testing.
@@TeftyMeems Thanks so much! !

Thanks Jim! And yeah, same feeling. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Dope setup I really like the typhon for sound and the fx are great yes, there is noise if you don’t use a battery power bank.
Typhon is an awesome box. The FX are superb as well!
Very interesting setup, good job ;)
Thanks Emilz ❤🙏
I was having exactly the same problem in my live setup. So the Typhon had to go unfortunately...
Is it possible to connect all MIDI Tracks just by connecting MIDI out/trough? And does the digitakt have the ability to record every channel separate in Ableton ?
Great video! What’s that midi splitter cable you are using? My band is looking for something like this
You always make some killer jams!

You have enough gear with Digitakt, Minifreak and Cobalt8M. No need for Argon or Typhon :)
Honestly, could make it all work on just the Digitakt, but I’d be super limited. The reason for the Argon and Typhon is hands on control of the parts while recording the jams live. If they’re just samples in Digitakt, I find myself way less likely to manipulate them live. Plus, it’s a different sound (especially the mono part). Thanks for watching 🙏
The bass sound of the Typhon is that a preset or ownmade? (Which preset?)
Preset - A13 I believe. I could be off by one or two.
Thanks. That patch is sooo dope sounding
The hung note happens here with digitakt midi out only... Idk if it's a bug
Awesome content btw!
Thank you!
Hi Tefty. Can you explain how do you feed Typhon with midi, I can clearly see midi out of the DT and split cable going toward Modal Synths, midi in of DT comes from the MiniFreak. It's not clear how the Typhon and the MF were fed with midi from the DT. Thank you.
Was it midi outs of Modal Electronics with midi thru?
Yup, midi thru from the Modal midi outs. The Modal gear has a lot of options for how to treat midi in and out.
@@TeftyMeems Thanks, I got both but scared to unbox them, because now and then we experienced rascists missiles attack waves.
Can the minifreak arp and seq send midi notes to digitakt?
How are you splitting the MIDI OUT from the Digitakt?
I have a midi splitter connected to the main out. One end goes to the Argon and the other to the Cobalt. The Argon then feeds the Typhon. The Cobalt feeds the MiniFreak. And that's it 👍
How you eq this synth?
I don't get the 64 step limitation on the digitakt, stucking on these 4bar loops can shorten the creativity.
🌟Awesome sounds !!! 👏👏👏🌟
Which digitak is that one ?
Thank you! There’s only one Digitakt. You might be thinking the Digitone or Syntakt. Neither of those handle samples, only the Digitakt. Thanks for watching 🙏
