A sawtooth, a filter, an envelop and you build this iconic dub techno chords !!! The best always comes from simple but powerfull concepts and talent makes the rest. I love your music and tutorials ! All is so efficient and beautifull.
Even if I don't own a Digitakt, this actually taught me quite a bit about sound design, envelopes and other small tricks (like the lfo fake sc). Very nice video!
Fantastic, just dubed out for an hour or so using these ENV / HPF and LFO techniques on my Juno 6 + Boss DE200, the fake side chain ha ha, wicked. I realy feel the emotion of saw wave chords, I remember you saying "two chords is good, one is better". Thank you Martin always an inspiration.
This taught me a so much! Especially the retrig to bring a note behind to pretend chord changes on the 1. Danke sehr Martin! Ich hoffe du machst mehr derartige Videos! 🙏🏻
Thank you! It is strange since the Digitakt is used by a lot of people for this kind of music. When I have the time I will continue to show my workflow with the Digi.
Very helpful! I learned quite something. Btw you can hold the func button while turning the knobs to jump to specific values (for exame at 20:05 when you wanted to change the lfo speed to 32). Also you can press down the knob itself while turning for smaller steps. Difficult to explain so... just try it. It works everywhere.
Lovely tute. As soon as you hit 'play' I knew I had to watch it all (even though I don't own this particular machine it's all very applicable!). Thanks for taking the time.
Lol its 808 likes atm. 😂 Thank you so much for this workthrough. It’s always so inspiring, seeing the actual workflow of other artists. A good friend of mine owns a machine of those and it’s always a lot of fun being at his studio and creating stuff with it. I also really love the track you were making, reminds me of good old Trentemøller - Snowflake. Awesome tune. It’s still fascinating to me, how much you can get out of these basic sounds with very basic sound design, but in the end it sounds like some very high quality, nice atmospheric sound. Everything feels so seamless put together.
Super useful as a general DT tutorial, even if you're not interested in making dub techno! I've already learned several things, and I'm only 12 minutes in.
Thanks for the tutorial!! It helped me a lot. Much appreciated! About the LFO speed, hold func while turning the speed-knob and it jumps to amounts like 32 etc
Awesome, I've been looking forward to this follow up episode. I've been doing dub techno on the Polyend Tracker, I'm going to try some of the tricks you showed tonight. One trick I discovered was that if you sample a short stab (slightly longer than the stab you are going to form with your envelopes), that makes varying the sample start position more useful. You can effectively make your sounds more staccato that way.
Watching this has finally convinced me I need to move my Model Samples on and get the Digitakt. It’s what I should have done in the first place but hey! And how nice to hear a very competent English speaking German native say the words ‘utter crap’. You nailed that beautifully!!!
Thank you so much for this! I went through with my digitakt last night and it was very enjoyable. I hope you share more on the tutorials, it’s a great help.
There is no 'global lfo', But you can control the LFO globally, By holding function, and track, Then moving said lfo. Much like the pitch tuning and other parametres when holding 'func' 'track.' BUT, You should copy your pattern before hand. In case you wish to go back :-) It would be nice to add a global LFO in an update. I think this would open a whole new world of possibilitys. Especially if it had the ability to be mapped to many parameters. It is still nice that there are a lot of 'updated' hidden functions of which many werent available in early release.
Man, I really thought I knew everything about digitakt, But I had no idea that you could hold triggers and press yes. At least, I forgot about it lol thanks for the reminder.
Impressive how you made your entire sound palette from the one sample - I would not think to do that. A really smart way getting a lot of mileage out of one sound - with the added benefit of ensuring a sonic cohesion in your track. The result speaks for itself - nice.
At college this was a common assignment for us. Make a whole track out of just a kick drum sample. Then at uni make a whole composition from a sample of the spoken word “music” it’s a really good exercise to help sound design skills.
lovely smooth sound and very useful tips! I love dub techno although I don't manage to make such tracks myself usually, but I will try this tips out. Great content
Great demo, will try to recreate something similar using these methods on the sp404 mk2, has most of the same sample editing just not this powerful of a sequencer
Cool dude. I actually make alot of dub techno. I think its my favorite genre. Its good more people are getting into it. Fairly noobish question, but, Does digitakt chromatic keys start at middle C? Im sure it does, but I have seen some korgs that dont.
great video thanks Am samPling my ju-06 now but I was wondering what if I record it with the chorus effect on, I'll do both ways and see what haPens cheers bro
Perfect timing - I just started trying to make dub techno on my Digitakt! I learned a lot from the vid. Only thing I struggled to follow was the side chaining part.
@@MartinStuertzer I think I figured it out. Ramp LFO on sample vol or something like that, no? Thanks again for the cool vid. This and a recent ambient video you did were really helpful.
Hey Martin fantastic tutorial, for me as someone who does not yet own the Elektron Digitakt ( i own only the MC-707) a little hard to follow. Especially the Parameterlock I do not understand yet. But Friday I order me this little wonder box. Hope that I can make a Black Friday bargain xD . More from that. Thank you!
Hi Martin - such a great video - so many things I’d not thought of (but will now try on!) digitakt - thank you. Did you apply any external fx on this, or was it purely the digitakt?
Awesome tutorial Martin! I haven't watched the whole video yet so I don't know if you know about the base width filter (second page of filter). It's more suited for simple high pass or low pass as it doesn't have an envelope attached and that way you can leave the main filter with envelope free for creative uses. I noticed you just used the main filter for sculpting the kick drum at the beginning and thought the base width might be more suited for this task. (Edit - just got closer to the end of the video and see you already know about this!). When you finish your 4 bar loop, how do you go about doing arrangement on the DT? Or do you bounce into the DAW and arrange there?
Great stuff as usual. Im pretty sure that you can get note timings on the delay time. I usually use Function + Time. You might need to go all the way to the longest time for it to change from CC value to note increments. The you can back off in note time intervals.
27:53 - but we can use Filter 2 as a bandpass, right? There are base and width to select a band and then for LFO we can choose FILT BASE as a destination.
@@na-dj6ob It depends on the situation. The sound of the Digitakt is cleaner and I prefer the way the envelopes are designed. But for creating sounds and using the synth engines (which the Digitakt does not have) I prefer the Rytm.
@@MartinStuertzer Thanks for your input. I was considering adding a digitakt (for the 2nd time lol), but wasnt sure if it would be redundant since I would be using it with the Push 2 as well. I love the Rytm, but certain frequencies can be a bit too much at times, and the digitakt does have a cleaner digital sound, as well as the newly implemented eq filters which help shape the sound.

That is the idea! Most stuff works on other machines and software as well.
Great tutorial, many useful tricks I can incorporate to my workflow on the Digitakt. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

Thankyou Martin for such an in depth digitakt tutorial. There arent many focused on dub techno workflow. Please make more!
Thank you! It is strange since the Digitakt is used by a lot of people for this kind of music. When I have the time I will continue to show my workflow with the Digi.
I may have made a skank face when the reverb kicked in at ~12:40. Also, the _klickerklacker_ of Digitakt's buttons should be considered a feature :)

Hoping to add a Digitakt to my studio soon - loved the video - thanks!
Excellent presentation and music!!
Fantastic Video, many thanks!
That was the last inviction to buy a Elektron Digitakt. It´s realy a power mashine!
Amazing video and usefull tips! Please more digitakt video's👌
Lovely tute. As soon as you hit 'play' I knew I had to watch it all (even though I don't own this particular machine it's all very applicable!). Thanks for taking the time.
Brilliant 🤩
I’ve learnt from you using one chord stab can generate multiple ideas 👌👌
Thank you. 🙏🙏

Thank you for this little tutorial Martin
Thanks to the big Update, this is now a perfect little dub techno machine.
Thanks for demonstrating this ❤️
Cooles Video! Schön zu sehen wie du die Chords bearbeitet hast. Muss ich auch mal probieren auf diese art. Danke.
Great sounds!
This was excellent. Thank you!

This video’s excellent Martin, thank-you:)
thanks Martin, I will for sure try to do it in my Takt very soon
Thank you Martin, I enjoyed it very much. Super useful. Love dub techno. Liked and subscribed. 😉
Brilliant . thank you so much for the JN chord . I don't have Juno 60 so THANK YOU

Very useful! Big thanks Martin!
amazing work. informative and inspiring. not to mention, great to listen to. thank you so much for this.
Super useful tutorial, i definitely need to use few tricks from it. Great combo, digitakt itself + general sound design. Martin, you are MVP!
very nice! thanks for your patience to explain your process :)
Thanks for being such a star
Great tutorial 👏👍🙏
This is gold
Very good tutorial , i want more now.
Really inspiring tutorial, thanks Martin.

very nice! i think the digitakt is on my list for the next year now:)

Fairly noobish question, but, Does digitakt chromatic keys start at middle C? Im sure it does, but I have seen some korgs that dont.

Digitakt has a nice audio quality.
Next week...

Perfect timing - I just started trying to make dub techno on my Digitakt! I learned a lot from the vid. Only thing I struggled to follow was the side chaining part.
I made it up while I recorded the video, so please excuse me if I was to fast. If you can´t see what I was doing at some point feel free to ask.
@@MartinStuertzer I think I figured it out. Ramp LFO on sample vol or something like that, no? Thanks again for the cool vid. This and a recent ambient video you did were really helpful.

I think you can control the reverb using the LFO of a MIDI track and connecting the MIDI OUT to MIDI IN of your Digitakt?
damn, now i definitely need a digitakt :') great video, thank you martin!
Great job! Please more „how to“ videos, very good professed. Thanks a lot
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Thanks a lot !

Crazy. Why is the Master Volumen down? Is this a trik condition? ;)
Nice !
I have a Roland MC 707. I think I could apply these same techniques to it.
Dub Neptun ...? 😁 Dub this is not my kind of music but... appreciate you re doing guides.
Great stuff as usual. Im pretty sure that you can get note timings on the delay time. I usually use Function + Time. You might need to go all the way to the longest time for it to change from CC value to note increments. The you can back off in note time intervals.
However the timing is still governed by the multiplier.
Doh, I mean LFO speeds.
27:53 - but we can use Filter 2 as a bandpass, right? There are base and width to select a band and then for LFO we can choose FILT BASE as a destination.
Yes, that is correct and might work as well. But the Filter 2 has no resonance, so I decided to use Filter 1.
👌👌👌
🎉
Sounds great! Curious if you still own the Rytm as well? If not, what made you keep the digitakt over the rytm? Thanks!
Yes, I still got the Rytm.
@@MartinStuertzer do you prefer using the digitakt over the rytm at all?

They used to call it Hot Knobs but now its Covid Knobs
Beautiful ty for this
