I rarely comment on toob vids. You are a gifted communicator and i would imagine you positively empower 100x more people than your comment/count/subscriber tally suggests... no conceit, no hipster jargon, just pure, imaginative, intelligent information. thank you
Sequel please! This is so good. I can’t wait to sit down and try these all out. I’ll follow up with any thoughts and questions. Thanks for the great vid.
So good! Would love to seeore videos on the Digitakt. Like a short series or masterclass. Including tips that pertain to what's possible with the additional firmware updates in 2023
I would love to see a new video like this showing techniques you get from experimenting with the new firmware update. I’m sure the new base width filter, parametric EQ, and new LFO is gonna open up a whole new range of possibilities. The digitakt is such an innovative instrument. I recently watched a vid where someone was able to timestretch and pitch shift and even use slicing using the lfo and retrig
The tip at 13.05 about the Wavetables has featured in so many of my jams, and I'd never have though of it without your vids Loopop. Thank you so much for educating us, and for providing such clear and well presented tutorials. I would love to see another advanced Digitakt tutorial :)
This is incredible! Brilliant way of teaching. Everything actually made sense, and this is my first day with my Digitakt! Please do a sequel presentation!
You solved the PWM problem, wow! I was absolutely sure that it should be possible to do PWM sounds using Digitakt's LFO, but couldn't figure out the solution myself. Thanks for the tips!
You are an absolute madman! I've had my Digitakt for 6 months now and I never would have thought that I could get my mind blown this hard, Holy Shit. Amazing stuff!
This has to be one of the best digitakt tutorials on youtube. I don't even have a digitakt but there are so many great tips in here that I think would work on my octatrack as well. Thank you for doing what you do.
You are an excellent comunicator and always find the way to surprise me with clever ways to expand the creative possibilities of every device. Bravo and thank you! 💚
This couldn't come at a better time. Have been slowly researching the DT and am getting closer and closer to pulling the trigger.Even though it has some limitations, I think that can be a positive:forcing you to experiment more. Thx for your wonderful tutorials.
Absolutely stunning- I recently bought a Digitakt and hadn't realised the amazing potential for using it for synthesis and creating really out there sounds. Thank you for your thorough tutorial.
I just recently got a Digitakt, so these videos showcasing all the cool stuff it can do are amazing! Your videos especially are fantastic, and I'd love to see a part 2 of all the weird stuff a Digitakt can do
Ideas for Polyphony: For a song you only need 4 Accords, sometimes 6, but not more than 8. So you can do it like you showed it, with 4 Tracks and create 8 accords with the step sequenzer. Than you can let play the sequenzer and resample it with all 8 Accords than you have all 8 Accords as a sample and you can use it with one track. you only have to change the start and endpoint of the sample for each step in the sequenzer.
One of the most valuable and useful videos about Digitakt. Holy guacamole. My brain is too small to remember all these gem tricks at once, I will train hard like a synth doge to learn this device better. Great examples, video is absolutely essential for all who own or want to get Digitakt. Man, if you released only this one video, you would get into my personal Digitakt Hall of Fame anyway. Tons of respect for educating us.
Pro tip for dialing in the single cycle pwm: when initially setting up the sound load the same wave into a second track and set the pitch an octave up. Set the amp envelope to infinite decay and get a note droning. Now dial in your original track start and length parameters until you get a centered selection tuned to the same pitch as the drone. You now can continue your sound design with a pwm wave that has accurate pitch to the original wave. 🏄 Save the finished product as a sound easily load it up.
Greatest video on digitakt ever! one thing: “dynamic ratchets” aren’t ratchets, they’re a forward-looped sample with modulated sample length. If you turn retrigger on it, it actually won’t work.
Great tutorial, always enjoy the way you lay out the explanations. Whoever downvoted must have hit the wrong button or is just mad they don’t have a digitakt. Only thing I can think of.
This is BIG. Also if I can add - You can re-trigger each placed note when lfo is on sample slot as the instance of what You mentioned back in wavetable synthesis - that would free some buttons to rec to. Also it generates beautiful sounds when having fun with lfo multiplier, lfo speed, dep, track tempo, note lentht etc... i love the video. it opens my eyes on that midi self-routing. Thanks! wishing U best! and everyone -keep diggin' on Digitakt.
This is incredible as usual. I've bought Digitakt about 6 months ago but barely touched it and now getting into it, I can't comprehend how powerful this little piece of hardware is. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Sequel please!! Taking into account the new Digitakt os and what is possible with all the new options. Your videos are awesome go to reference for me btw! Thank you!!
You have impeccable timing, Sir. I just picked up a Digitakt and was perusing TH-cam for some tutorials, and VIOLA! ... brand new video on the Digitakt by Loopop. Keep 'em coming, man. You're doing gods work!
Loved this! So many great ideas! I’ve been messing around with a way to get the Octatrack’s “one button remix” trick working on the Digitakt. I have done it, but it’s a pain to set up tbh. Briefly: Set up two tracks with the same sample (eg a 1 bar loop) on each. Set track 1’s trigs to FIL, track 2’s to ___FIL, use LFO on each track to cycle through the sample start (you’ll need to turn LFO retrig off for every trig except the first one so basically you are faking a sliced sample. Change track 2’s length to 15 trigs (for example) and every time you hit FILL you’ll have a juggled sample. The only time it doesn’t work is if you hit FILL just as the play point hits the trig that retriggers the LFO, then it’s stutter city ;-) Anyway - awesome video. I’m off to play with some granular samples and dynamic ratchets. Thanks again!
I love your videos and reviews - so succinct. What I am going to pose on Elektronauts is that Elekton truly "open the box" and allow for "normalized internal patching" of LFO's to multiple parameters w/+/- sends. If the machine can handle it with a MIDI cable, there's no logistical reason it can't be written into the OS... right? Let's put... "requestive pressure" on them to Make it so... ;)
Wow, this opens up an amazing amount of possibilities. Thank you very much for this. And btw: I bought a Digitakt (and many other stuff over the last years) based on your (review) videos as the main resource.
This is the richest Digitakt video out there! Thanks a ton for your effort - really aswesome stuff! Informative and I understand everything because you have a great way of explaining!
Great advanced digitakt demo! I’ve been doing a similar thing to the waterdrop synthesis recently. Take a single cycle waveform and max the filter res and add a filter eg. This sort of acts like an exciter for the filter and changing the filter cutoff can get anything from water drops to bongo hits.
As I've said on instagram, probably one of favourite Digitakt tutorials so far. Man you are really intelligent. On another note, I bet a lot these ideas can be done with the Digitone too.
Great video sir, as always. For the wavetable synth to work smoothly one can as well take the several waves and concatenate them to make a longer sample and then the PWM should do the trick! Thanks for the ideas!
Fantastic video! I'm watching this over and over because there's so much good stuff in here to absorb! :) Your videos make me want to go back to the instrument no matter how devoid of inspiration I currently may be!
for real man... this tutorial is banging my head... to much synth stuff for a simple beatmaker :D soo great... now I know what I have to learn, especially because my digitone is coming soon ... and I have NO Idea how FM Synhesis is working
10:55 Try smashing/breaking glass as sample, short attack/decay amplitude with highpass filter and you have some nice hats! Put a little sample start via LFO and the hats are not the same every time.
I dont have a digiT but always useful to watch these vids. Your Waterdrop synthesis works same on an E2S - use the Claves Eight sample and follow your advice here.
great trick with LFO is modulate PAN with 1k or 2k LFO .. with just subtle amount (not more than 10-15%) you don't get too much "ringmod-like" character of sound but you get nice stereo spread - like simole chorus (which is lacking on digitakt a lot ;)
Thanks, the piano loop granulation sounded really pleasant. I have been wanting to buy the rk for ages but forgot about it, guess 2020 is the year i will buy it :)
Hmm... You could modulate the Decays ping pong function on and off and the steps it plays at to make it sounds like you've got multiple delays processing the sound. You'd have to step lightly and program every thing precisely and you wouldn't be able to overlap the delays but for shorter feedback delays that could be cool to have different steps delay in different ways across different tracks.
I rarely comment on toob vids. You are a gifted communicator and i would imagine you positively empower 100x more people than your comment/count/subscriber tally suggests... no conceit, no hipster jargon, just pure, imaginative, intelligent information. thank you
Thanks :)
Agreed - great stuff! 🎉
A sequel would be lovely. Excellent work!
Sequel please! This is so good. I can’t wait to sit down and try these all out. I’ll follow up with any thoughts and questions. Thanks for the great vid.
BlankFor_ms me too, was just thinking about making an advanced digitakt video myself.
In the first example of modulated ratchets (from the demo track) are the sounds repeating via retrig or looping sample?
Kentucky do it!
So good! Would love to seeore videos on the Digitakt. Like a short series or masterclass. Including tips that pertain to what's possible with the additional firmware updates in 2023

I was just thinking EXACTLY this!
Can you please send me the video of the guys that was able to timestratching please?! It would be amazing
Here here
@@sabinbadea94 th-cam.com/video/FD_Jtzpy6GE/w-d-xo.html this guy has a few tutorials, they're all great

I could spend an hour on Digitakt everyday and wouldn't 'master' the thing in 5 years. Mind blown by this metal box.
I love my Digitakt. Its like an extension of my soul. This machine is amazing! I ve never had so much fun making music.
im in love with the effected piano bit @11:25 it's just beautiful, you're gonna make me spend a lot of money

Love this, love this kind of stuff. I recently got a Digitakt... I haven't looked at your book since I grabbed it, so I'll have to check it out again!
Your video presentation is far and above the gold standard of all TH-cam musicians. Thanks so much.
Absolutely stunning- I recently bought a Digitakt and hadn't realised the amazing potential for using it for synthesis and creating really out there sounds. Thank you for your thorough tutorial.
I just got mine today. Can’t wait to try these
I just recently got a Digitakt, so these videos showcasing all the cool stuff it can do are amazing! Your videos especially are fantastic, and I'd love to see a part 2 of all the weird stuff a Digitakt can do
The granular part was lovely. :0
Probably my favorite too!
Agreed! Should have put it on the waveform view for that part though ;)
I would even use the track multiplier on the Track Scale settings, like X2 to have it smoother (triggered faster)
Props for bringing ‘granular’ synthesis to my digitakt repertoire o skills!👍🏼✊🏼🤟🏼
Man, the wavetable synthesis and granular synthesis are amazing!

Best digitakt video I ever seen. You are so talented! Thank you so much bro.
That was great! Going to go through this again with my Digitakt and try em all!
Wow ! The sample slot LFO tip is absolute gold 👍🏽 thanks 🙏🏽

Man the description of what a LFO is was so good, nice one
LFO 'just a fancy way to say Automatic Knob Turner":) Love it! Techno-babble correctly distilled for everyone.
Got one before I knew it had Single Cycle Wave Forms
Incredible machine
I've rewatched this soooooo many times... awesome work 😃
This is incredible as usual. I've bought Digitakt about 6 months ago but barely touched it and now getting into it, I can't comprehend how powerful this little piece of hardware is. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Absolutely stellar video. As a Digitakt Beginner this looks like pure magic to me!
I Just bought and am learning Digitakt and this video just blew my mind. Thank you!!!
Sequel please!! Taking into account the new Digitakt os and what is possible with all the new options. Your videos are awesome go to reference for me btw! Thank you!!
your section on granular synthesis was very inspiring, thank you.

Wow, this opens up an amazing amount of possibilities. Thank you very much for this. And btw: I bought a Digitakt (and many other stuff over the last years) based on your (review) videos as the main resource.
Fantastic! Your thoroughness inspires. Thank you!
Thank you, good sir. A sequel would be much appreciated
this is still the best channel about synths out there. if you have time, please make a similar tutorial for the lovely digitone. cheers.
This dreamy house example is sooooo nice. Maybe you can make an album with just your snippets in just a couple of hours of mixing and matching.
So imaginative, absolutely nailed it!
anxiously waiting on the sequel to this video!!!
This is the richest Digitakt video out there! Thanks a ton for your effort - really aswesome stuff! Informative and I understand everything because you have a great way of explaining!
Great advanced digitakt demo! I’ve been doing a similar thing to the waterdrop synthesis recently. Take a single cycle waveform and max the filter res and add a filter eg. This sort of acts like an exciter for the filter and changing the filter cutoff can get anything from water drops to bongo hits.
Also changing the scw adds a different type of ‘ping’ for the filter for different tones.
love that last tune ! so relaxing..
Always excellent tutorials. I need to watch and re-watch lots of these before getting the Digitakt. Thank you
As I've said on instagram, probably one of favourite Digitakt tutorials so far. Man you are really intelligent. On another note, I bet a lot these ideas can be done with the Digitone too.
Thanks very much - yeah, I should do one for Digitone too...
loopop Please Do! 😊
I wish the analog rytm had sample lenght instead of sample end, that PWM sounds so sick!
this video made me realize I absolutely should look closer at the demos on such devices.
Holy moly PWM, awesome!
Thank you friend! Something new, but something already seen. But, as they say in Russia, "repetition is the mother of learning"
Great video sir, as always.
For the wavetable synth to work smoothly one can as well take the several waves and concatenate them to make a longer sample and then the PWM should do the trick!
Thanks for the ideas!
Would you still recommend it for first drum module/machine/groove box? Goal is to connect with Moog synths and Reaper DAW
Pwm trick is a game changer!!!
You make fantastic videos. Super thorough, insightful and helpful
Awesome, incredible tutorial, you have opened so many new Digitakt concepts and options,
that I can use. Thank You!
This little box is amazing
My Digitakt wants to leave me for you.
LOL no worries I’ll send it back with tips for a happy relationship ;)
😆😆
lol good one my friend. But I think and you know our friend is a nobel cultured soul.
Bargen es.
great tutorial. Thank you & please more on difitakt and digitone !!
It's funny because views the digitakt as a sampler drum machine, but it fills in nicely as a subtractive analog style monosynth, too.
Fantastic video! I'm watching this over and over because there's so much good stuff in here to absorb! :) Your videos make me want to go back to the instrument no matter how devoid of inspiration I currently may be!
oh boy! just got home with my new Digitakt a few minutes ago :) I can't wait to set it up and follow along!
Great work, as always it seems these days. Really wonderfully put together.
So cool. You saved my day, my money, my digitakt, my....loopop forever !
Thank you so much for these helpful tipps. Your videos a always well structured and informative!
for real man... this tutorial is banging my head... to much synth stuff for a simple beatmaker :D
soo great... now I know what I have to learn, especially because my digitone is coming soon ... and I have NO Idea how FM Synhesis is working
Check out my Digitone video too ;)
Really inspiring! Thanks
one of the best videos on digitakt.
Simply an amazing video! Running along to get your ebook 😁. Thanks for these!
Thanks very much!
Man your tutorial videos are so great, thank you so much for such quality work !

Amazing! thank you!
Sequel would be very welcome!
Awesome video ... just what I've been waiting for and very well explained. Thanks 😎
Thanks for another great one. Just really good stuff.
Thank you for this!
You are a genius.
could you do a follow up for the crazy 1.3 update?
Insane video, thanks alot!
2:40 Roygbiv. If you catch my drift.
Oh shit, you're right!
I cheered
was about to post the same thing
Holly sh... me too! 2:45 or maybe it's something wrong with us hearing boc everywhere...
I think it's just BoC everywhere...
It's very powerful, man! Thanks for tips👍
Thanks, the piano loop granulation sounded really pleasant. I have been wanting to buy the rk for ages but forgot about it, guess 2020 is the year i will buy it :)
