Ricky, YT has been feeding me a non-stop frenzy of old videos of yours, and I've been binging like crazy for the past few days. You're my favourite. Greetings!
First! also.....COMPACT CREATIONS IS BACK BABY!!!! these are the videos that got me into hardware electronic in the first place. absolutely love them, and i just love vibing with you as you make these things. always inspires me to jump up and make my own track as soon as the video ends, on my own compact setup. luv u dude, thanks a ton for this this morning. means a lot, truly.
Meanwhile, the rest of us "I've got one goal, and that's to watch someone else make a track before I hit the sack"...lol Those 606 hats.... chef's kiss!
Picked up a used Digitakt I a couple weeks back for a ridonkulously low price. Thought I was going to get some janky, old, battered box, but it's in perfect condition and making me so happy right now. Ricky, your videos have been a massive inspiration! In it to win it baby!
That’s amazing to hear. when DTII came out I said to myself, the Digitakt just yesterday was so good. Doesn’t change what it can do today haha! Im happy you got a deal on one!
Glad to see someone showcasing the mm2. Was lucky enough to get my hands on one last December and it's an incredible little box! Such a wide variety of sounds you can get out of it and they all for the most part sound great.
Hey Ricky, would you consider going over the current state of your studio at some point? I noticed some interesting things going on off camera, on the Mac etc.
Looks like a lot of fun but presumably it’s months if not years of experience on Digitakt. Your fingers are flying on those buttons. Very inspiring. Best ad for this piece of hardware. Oh and video production quality is on point.
Awesome track! I have a Model:Samples and it’s my favorite piece of kit, would you say it’s worth getting the og Digitakt as a step up or should I save for the mkii?
Yet another inspiring quick hitter! Great little nuggets of info inside the video as well. 🙏 What outboard mixer are you using to run your gear through?
I wish my mm2 was still healthy. One of the audio paths got messed up at some point, its ultra low volume+ultra high noise floor. I contacted the guy over in France and he said he would take a look but this was during covid with global shipping all messed up. Didn't want to risk it. I regret not shipping it.
To be honest, that’s a pretty classic dying-capacitors issue. That, or an amplifier transistor is dead. Either way you might not need to send it overseas, if you can get a local tech to look at it. I know people who know just a little default to capacitors for everything, but that always annoys me lol. But those capacitors in the audio circuit do literally buffer the signal and reduce unwanted noise; and since they need to be finely tuned to let the right frequencies through, when an audio capacitor gets close to dying the volume just gets lower and lower before cutting out entirely.
If you say this on the elektronaut mm2 page you get blasted by the producer, he says 15 months is the max wait ever. But yeah, expect at least 1 year before getting the device
AIAIAI have a low-latency proprietary wireless dongle for their newest Bluetooth headphones, specifically marketed at musicians, DJs, producers, etc. (I happen to be a longtime customer (since 2009) with an older Bluetooth module, so I got their emails bigging up the new one lol. I’m kinda surprised they’ve been picked-up by so many musicians, but I guess it works well!)

YOU ARE MAKING ME STAY UP WAY PAST MY BEDTIME

Hell yeah! Thanks for being one of the OGs! And thank you for all the kind words. It’s back baby

Those 606 hats.... chef's kiss!
haha!
Yes! Minimal creations are back! Some of the old ones are what really got me to make some music. Thanks!!

What low price could you not pass up?

@@unclebuttonz7865 I was looking second hand and all I could find was £450 (I'm in the UK). Then I found one for £350, so I snapped it up.
@@unclebuttonz7865 £350!
Loved my micromonsta 2 - the only bit of gear I regretted selling. So tempted by the new Digitakt even though I don’t need it.
Some great workflow tips there! 👏🏻 👏🏻
Glad you like them! Happy to help
Awesome as always! Watching you making music is really inspiring
Dope. So good watching you do all this in real time. Really fast too!
Glad you liked it!!

Nice 1 geezer, top jam. The random waveform on the LFO for the keys part really worked very nicely. Keep 'em coming.
I got lucky and found an used mm2 even cheaper than a new one, I'm in LOVE with that little box!
Watching you work is inspiring! 🤘🏽🙌🏾

I’ve been on the wait list forever for the mm2
i'm on there so long, i dont even know if they even make more of them anymore? 😅
Nice work matey!!!
With ❤ from Danmark…i love your flow ❤
you are a master on the Digitakt II
“60% of the time… it works every tiiiime!”
You had a DJ Pierre Wild Pitch vibe going on there in places 👌💥
I like how you set a fork in the sequence where all roads lead to step 16
Omg , that tune was sick man. Im a mpc user but i have to learn more about the digitakt it seems. Greetings from the Netherlands
Greetings! And thanks for vibing out with me
Yesss more compact creations :)
Sick jam !! 😎
love this one
Wicked track dude 👌
Thanks Danny!
Awesome track Ricky
❤❤❤ I love my Digi / MM2 combo.
They’re so good together! 2 full blown poly synths
Good house track🎉
Awesome track! I have a Model:Samples and it’s my favorite piece of kit, would you say it’s worth getting the og Digitakt as a step up or should I save for the mkii?
20% gear nerd 80% artist - perfect ratio :)
groovy!
What compressors do you use? The compression on your mixes is always 10/10. Are u using an external bus to Ableton or something like that?
Ricky the Digitakt house god 🫶
You're using the Nord as a Syntakt clone. Good stuff! :D
Nice 🔥🔥🔥
Dopeness.
Thanks for the video ❤What’s up with the banana cables?
Compact Creations 🎉

Hey Ricky, what keyboard pull out are you using for your desk?
Sick!!
Eternal house from Ricky nothing else ⚡️
Ive tried other things and it all sounds like house at this point 😂
Souper Dope ❤
Grey func button!?!? 🤓
Cool
Yet another inspiring quick hitter! Great little nuggets of info inside the video as well. 🙏
What outboard mixer are you using to run your gear through?
Why the func is gray?
Well there goes another credit card charge. Thanks!
What happened to your FUNC button? 🤔
if oooonly they added a battery... i cant see for the life of me why they didnt
Yo Dope Groove !! Hey why is your DT2 FUNC button grey ?
@Ricky which RME interface do you use?
You ever plan on making that mousepad available in the store?
🐆🐆🐆
Dang it. Why did ya mention 606? I was just thinking bout buying one for fun.
Will there be the Octatrack mk3? I know you can't talk about it but just give us a sign! We will know.
Can you edit the chop start end points on a Digitakt yet?
looking on eBay to get my hands on a used Nord (probably something older like the electro 4 or 5).... you think its worth getting the hammer version?
I have been vastly underutilizing my Digitakt it would seem.
Awesome. If you could actually get a Micromonsta 2 that would be great as well. Audiothingies just cannot produce these.
it's 1 guy doing everything, the waiting time is about 1 year to get one
I wish my mm2 was still healthy. One of the audio paths got messed up at some point, its ultra low volume+ultra high noise floor. I contacted the guy over in France and he said he would take a look but this was during covid with global shipping all messed up. Didn't want to risk it. I regret not shipping it.
So the dude died of covid?
Ship it

Looking to trade my Model Samp & Digitone for a Syntak.
I want a micromonsta 2 so bad :S
Waited 900 years for the email then when I got it I was broke lol
I think I’m almost 2 years on the waiting list of getting a MM2…
Will this ever be in stock ?

"how to get grey func button" tutorial pls
Ricky this might be a dumb question 🙋🏻♂️ how are you running wireless headphones on your set up??
AIAIAI have a low-latency proprietary wireless dongle for their newest Bluetooth headphones, specifically marketed at musicians, DJs, producers, etc.
(I happen to be a longtime customer (since 2009) with an older Bluetooth module, so I got their emails bigging up the new one lol. I’m kinda surprised they’ve been picked-up by so many musicians, but I guess it works well!)
Why dt over ar?
Where you work is irrelevant. How you put in the work is. Strong work 💪🫡
