nice ideas here, I've always been tempted to expand the DT with an additional controller, however for me it just defeats the purpose of having this wonderful form factor as well as the fact that the DT is actually the controller for my other bits of gear. One controller that grabbed my attention is the faderfox UC4, mostly for its ultra-compact size.. price is steep though - 250 eur. Have you looked into those? Nice channel btw, already a subscriber;)
Hey dude, I’m vibing a MIDI pad for a Digitakt, tho do u think I should still grab this 226 or go for something like the mpc one? Have u tried the new ones.. only saying because they’re new and wondering if there’s more capabilities..
Well that depends on what your needs are, the mpd226 is just a midi controller while the mpc one is a fully capable sampler so its tough to compare the two
hey dude... how u digging this setup? u still using it?? i’m torn between an mpc live and a digitakt. I want to finger drum old drum beats&breaks, record that, then mess with trigs, fx..
Hi I subscribed and liked. Enjoy your video. Can the same be done with the Akai Studio Black that you did with the MPD226? Do you know if the pads are the same on the Studio as that on the 226?
HI, just downloaded your template and seems to work more or less, i'm sure i'm doing something wrong but i can only trigger notes on channel 1-8 and not able to record these midi events, also the control part of it does not seem to work, nothing happens on the DT. What settings do you have to change on the DT for this to work?
This work around turns the digitakt into a full mpc ... makes me want to get that mpd for mine but I already have an mpc and I don’t mind the regular work flow this is nice tho watched it like 4 times
Great work! I have the MPD226 learning how to use it still. There are no videos of how to upload samples to it. Can you do a video on how to upload samples from other music or from another source like a recording?
Thank you! Unfortunately the MPD226 is not a sampler it is just a controller. You cannot "upload samples to it". All of the sounds in this video are coming from the Digitakt, im just using the MPD as a controller.
Ada Cash Productions Studio i have an mpd226 and you can chop samples and drag them into FPC (if you use fl studio) i’m just having a hard time programming the faders and knobs
How would you control channels 1-8 audio tracks on the digitakt, using the MPD226? I've loaded your digitakt preset, but it only plays first 3 as kick hat snare, and the 4th as a chromatic, what would I alter to make the first 8 pads 1-8 audio as drums and sample (sans chromatic pitch playback) corresponding to the DT 1-8? thanks so much!
I go over the assignments of the pad banks at 1:35, in pad bank A the bottom 8 pads correspond to audio tracks 1-8. Based on your comment it sounds like you aren't in pad bank A. What you're describing sounds like pad banks B and C
Have you tried the MPD226 with the Analog Rytm MK2? I am still interested in grabbing one, but the 12 pads look cheap... would want to be able to utilize the MPD226 with it-if possible. Thanks!
I'm not too keen on the rytm myself so I dont have any experience with implementing this type of setup however it is basic midi routing so I would assume it would function similarly.
So basically the MPD is a midi controller for the Digitakt, correct? Is it easy to midi map on a digitakt and mpd? Sorry if that’s a silly question. I have an MPD26 lying around I was gonna get rid of. Think now this could come in handy.
this is still incredible! After seeing this, I added the 226 and couldn't be happier! thanks for the preset!
This is straight up brilliant. Thanks for making this video!
I can't do my 232 midi to other synths ... please help
man I just want to know how to do this on my mpd226. been looking it up and cant find a solution. even just a quick step by step would help so much

and yes I have tried to mpc live/one. The operating system feels too much like a daw for me to want to use it over ableton
This is great, thanks for sharing.
Nice, good work! The MPD226 looks very handy to control the Digitakt. Thanks for the demo.
Mista magic hands..how does he do it... dope video thanks!
Can you play with velocity?
Yes.
exactly the solution ! thank you
hey dude... how u digging this setup? u still using it?? i’m torn between an mpc live and a digitakt. I want to finger drum old drum beats&breaks, record that, then mess with trigs, fx..
Its killer, I've bought and returned an MPC live it felt too much like a daw and less of an instrument to me but to each their own!
do you know exactly which midi adapter/cable you are using? thanks.
Wow! It’s like the best of both worlds. Can the MPD do scales?
you can assign specific notes to the pads sure
Nice was researching using this combo and your vid came up thanks it was useful
Great video, thanks! Is there a way to switch of flashing TAP TEMPO button...? or maybe a factory reset on mpd226?

I see that you use the transport controls on the DT. Is it not possible to use the transport controls of the MPD226?
Budd/Eno. Nice choice.. Thanks for the video

Bro you are the shit ...what daw do you use ?
great video, do you have the controller template?
Yes! I forgot to upload id i'll add it to the description of the video shortly

@@RecycledRhythms wait you can't upload to the device itself? So how do you program it?
@@chellierenae You can upload the preset midi controls to the device but not the sounds.
@@RecycledRhythms so which ones can you use with just the device only? I'll have to go back and try it Thur Digi...brb
Dope shit
Thanks!
Do you have any programs that run all Mpd 226 functions, including full Battery 4?
Any modern DAW will do
wow awesome man thx for this video!

Should I Keep My Mpc Live or Get this or the Tr8s to go with my digitakt
Or can I do the same exact thing on my MPC Live
Nice!
What software do you use?
For what?
Is there a way to do this with the octatrack?
I cant see why not
Do you need to use a daw for all of that functionality with the digitakt? I've got an octatrack and i'm trying to keep a dawless setup right now
No daw was used in this setup. I'm working on an MPD preset for my octatrack as well!
@@RecycledRhythms badass thanks man! just ordered one this seems like what i've been looking for

yes, I have an mpd226 template in the description.
@@RecycledRhythms Thank you!
