Fun fact. 133bpm is the classic techno bpm used on many classic early 90s Detroit artists. Why? Because that’s the speed you need to cut a track to vinyl if you wish to make an endless playing lock groove loop. Accidental bonus also if you are a maniac DJ like Jeff Mills back in the day, if your records skip while mixing it won’t knock your kick drums too out of sync!
....Detroit Techno, Rotterdam Techno, Man Parrish, Steve silk Hurley, Juan Atkins and many others that have contributed to this genre...imo techno should be about bringing in new experimental sounds that takes people on a musical journey...if it's 133 BPM, change it, bring the journey to a different level... Peace out 💕
@@jonnyd4nger I like to play melodic techno at 127 bpm. It just makes it vibe more, IMO. It's a more sustainable tempo for dancing as well. A lot of purists would scoff at that, as well as say that melodic techno is basically just trance, but I don't care. It sounds good to me.
Wow thanks so much Ihor, this is simply my favorite track from scratch for the Syntakt that I have seen. Gonna try and follow it. Please. Please do another track like this!
I'm just [very] [im]patiently waiting for my Syntakt to arrive and checking out any content on the matter. Your video is one of my favorites solo Syntakt jams here, it will definitely help to get me started! Thanks a lot for sharing :)
@@IhorMedia I think Syntakt could perform and generate really good spacey ambient vibes, theres lot of youtube mixes with that genre when typing in Space Ambient music. Also great youtube channel called substan who creates lot of ambient music with Elektron gear, highly recommend to check the channel out
Thank you for such a detailed step-by-step! I'm enjoy Techno, but always have problems creating my own tracks. This was very helpful to get an easy start into a song.
This video decided that the Syntakt was for me. And after two days of owning the Syntakt, I've completed your tutorial. Thank you so much, my version of your jam is the most polished tune I've made after coming from Circuit Tracks, Ployend Tracker and Maschine MK3. You're a natural teacher. Great work sir!
Thanks to your video, I understand that i have to put a low pass filter on my bass sounds to not cover the sound of my kick ! thanks for this, and for the content ! very clear, more syntakt vids please ;) A syntakt lover
Syntakt coming this week. I’m super excited. I’m gonna copy this tutorial for myself first of all a) to learn the device and b) to create a banging techno track! Nice work. Thanks so much!
Very nice, I don't even have a Syntakt or Electron device, but I just enjoy watching the simplicity of creating and performing Techno on this machine. I might have to consider a Syntakt as a sound source.
it's canon to explain so simply. she makes me want this machine so much. I strongly hesitate between a groovebox roland tr8s + microfreak or elektron digitak!
Easily the best showcase I've seen on this. I know I'm late to the party but I'm giving some serious consideration to getting one. Been using the Maschine + for a while. It's fun but I find myself taking a route that the NI sound packs take me. And it's not authentic, to me at least. You made the syntakt sound great. Fair play.
Watched this vid again for the 3rd time or something, still as amazing as the first time, a real banger of a jam at the end. Really gotta save some cash and buy a Syntakt
I've been waiting for that Syntakt from Scratch video quite a while. Thanks for sharing some of your production techniques! If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to have some feedback from you on my Syntakt techno jams. It would mean a lot to me.
@@IhorMedia Thank you in advance. You can find them on my channel page here on You Tube. This link is one example: th-cam.com/video/E6qAkBUoJWs/w-d-xo.html
Daaaamn I've been looking at syntakt even though I probs dont need it and this doesn't help.... How would you say it stacks up against RYTM? I've never quite gelled with rytm tbh, I have digitakt and love it, but rytm just feels so muddy to me. Syntakt seems to have a bit more of the 'sheen' of Digitakt. Been considering syntakt+digitakt as a great combo to replace rytm.
Firstly I have to admit that I use the Syntakt much more than any other machines I have, including the Rytm and the Digitakt. Even more than that - I almost exclusively use the Syntakt. I think this speaks for itself. Though there is some recency bias to this. Syntakt is very immediate and easy to deal with. Plus it is smaller, cheaper, a bit more modern I guess. However I don't want to underrate the Rytm. Firstly it is MUCH MORE deeper and complicated machine, than the Syntakt or the Digitakt. Perhaps not that immediate. Synths machines + Samples on top give much more room for sound design. Performance Macros and Scenes are there for you to create your own performing strategy. Song mode (however Syntakt also got one), analog compressor, velocity-sensitive pads, separate outputs for each voice, etc. With that said I'm sure I am not selling my Rytm ever and it has it's own permanent place my studio. I also think I'd choose it for my live shows one day, because of it's performance features. Now when it comes to the Syntakt - it is my go-to tool to jam when I get inspired. I also take it quite often with me to a park or a private party. When traveling it is a must have!
@@IhorMedia thanks so much for taking the time to reply!! Ya the form factor of syn seems so great for that. Rytm feels like I need to setup for a studio session while digits you can jam to. Thanks for your words man and keep up the awesome work
@@IhorMedia awesome just got my Syntakt today what’s your favourite thing about it .. I own the digitone key and digitakt but you say syntakt is your favourite what’s the reason you prefer it
Very cool video! Learned a lot. I need to admit that my biggest problem with Techno on Syntakt was rumble, but you pointed me to a thing that is now so obvious, but I could not see it before - smart programming of kick/bass sounds. Really appreciate it! 🖤
4:39 ouch! lol. nice lessons in here! I really wish Copying a Track to another Pattern would copy the track settings as well as the sequence data... it's clumsy having to go and copy all the pages after you've copied sequencer data

This is the Syntakt masterclass I was looking for. You’re awesome, Ihor. Thank you.
No other video out there has made me want a Syntakt as much as this one has. Amazing, thorough video Ihor. Loving the bassface at 31:06
I was thinking the same! He made a face. 🙌
Comparing 4:27 Ihor with 33:38 Ihor -- you're a great teacher, passionate and knowledgeable. These videos are gold!! Thank you.
I learn so much from this channel even though I don’t make techno!! It’s all very clear. Also yes to more syntakt!
What they said ! ^^^^
I got inspired. Now i'm going to make some music with my syntakt. Thank you Ihor. You are my favorite teacher!
Thank you!
Sounds great Ihor, love the style. Not owning a syntakt but still enough good ideas to work with.
Thank you Niek!
I’ve watched this a billion times. Thank you for your service!
Tak!
Wow thanks so much Ihor, this is simply my favorite track from scratch for the Syntakt that I have seen. Gonna try and follow it. Please. Please do another track like this!

How you enjoying the Syntakt just got mine today.. what do you love about it .
This is the best Syntakt workflow on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you for this! I rebuilt this and i learned a lot. Keep going man.
I'm just [very] [im]patiently waiting for my Syntakt to arrive and checking out any content on the matter. Your video is one of my favorites solo Syntakt jams here, it will definitely help to get me started! Thanks a lot for sharing :)
Those syntakt masterclass are really helpful.
We need some more!
Thanks
"Obviously nothing was saved" You crack me up. hahaha
What a legend Ihor. Maybe ambient from scratch video with syntakt in the future? great work 5/5
Noted! Thanks for feedback! Do you have any ambient tracks to recommend as an inspiration? Would much appreciate it! ✌️

I love it, Ihor! Great jam. You have great taste in techno sounds. More Syntakt pls ^_^
Thank you! More Syntakt it is!
@@IhorMedia Omg thank you so much!! 😁
Mannnnn.... This is so good! Another fantastic walk-through and explanation. Thanks again Ihor!
thank you!
Just got a Syntakt. This was the best jump start video ever right here, thank you Ihor!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Thanks! SICK TRACK!
Thanks for your support! ❤️
Thanks for this Ihor, I had a lot of fun following along in my DAW, and learnt heaps along the way.
23:05 Is a huge piece of advice, remember and save 👍
Thank you for such a detailed step-by-step! I'm enjoy Techno, but always have problems creating my own tracks. This was very helpful to get an easy start into a song.
I like to see people explain / make music from hardware, it's fundamental, and we can get inspiration to apply it on any daw

Thank you!
Dude my best techno channel! More content with Syntakt plz!
Yes bro! Always quality and a bucketload of fun. Great work Ihor!!
Thanks Gavin!
Excellent track and very informative video! I lost it when you saved at 29 minutes ;) A wise man learns from previous failures.
A wise man learns, but his fingers sometimes just randomly hit that FUNC + NO
Fantastic tutorial! You're so bringing it to the point, love this! 🤩 Animating the stereo spread of the delay is a fantastic modulation.
Thanks for feedback! ✌️
Very nice, I don't even have a Syntakt or Electron device, but I just enjoy watching the simplicity of creating and performing Techno on this machine. I might have to consider a Syntakt as a sound source.
Love my Syntakt. This is a great video. Would love a video just on getting some rumbles out of this.
Noted!
Finally getting this box today 😃going to play along with this vid to learn some of your processes.
I'm having a deja vu moment, I was watching this video yesterday and suddenly it disappeared 🙃
But now I watched till the end, really enjoyed it!
it's canon to explain so simply. she makes me want this machine so much. I strongly hesitate between a groovebox roland tr8s + microfreak or elektron digitak!
This has made my Morning. Thank you Ihor. I understand this beat a lot more now. I hope the spit from the clap came off ok lol.
Beautiful sounds my man. Thanks for the very fun and informative content!
My pleasure!
Fantastic work on this one man, loved the jam and the presentation
Thank you Dylan!
I love this video Ihor and our energy. This has helped me so much, THANK YOU IHOR!
You are such an inspirational teacher. 👍
Thank you! Great feedback!
This was really an amazing video on how to create an amazing techno beat. I will definitely try this step by step 😄
Christ! Even though it crashed, I'm thinking I could get by on one kidney couldn't I ? Ihor, you're a bad bad man. Great work.
Man, love the videos. So much direction as a learner of the machine. Thanks a lot ❤
This was simply excellent. Follow it step-by-step and you will have an awesome beat. Thanks for sharing these techniques!
Cool 🕺 Think it will be my next Elektron after digitone 😄. So much sound designing features, wow.
Big up for the techno face jam outro lol Great stuff again dude
Thanks dude!
Fantastic video and track. ST is a complete instrument.
5:04 what do u mean “u have done the hw already?” How did u find and assign kick to 9?
This video is so informative not only about the gear, but about the music production overall! :D
Such a good video Ihor! Your content is awesome and valuable!
Thank you!
You kill the game !!! congrats !

Oooh wouuuw pure Jam ! Well done on the Kick/Rumble, really love it.
Thanks! ✌️
Great video! The velocity trick to duck the rumble is such a great idea. Thanks, I subscribed.
Thank you!
Clear and precise, as usual. Super inspiring jam. Thx
My pleasure!
Huge thanks man it helped me a lot to understand how to use the Syntakt!
I m playing techno also and I can say you are making good one 👊🏼
Thank you Marc! Very kind words ❤️
How you enjoying the Syntakt just got mine today.. what do you love about it .
Outstanding
Игорь, спасибо за твои видео. Буквально в каждом джеме использую какие-то из твоих фишек. Крутой ты чувак)
Спасибо!
Really well done! Great work! 😁👊
Watched this vid again for the 3rd time or something, still as amazing as the first time, a real banger of a jam at the end. Really gotta save some cash and buy a Syntakt
Thank you mate!
Brilliant! Thanks man!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yooooo! Damn that was a killer track
Great Jam! Love your energy !!!!
Thank you, great tips. Cheers!
finally this video is back! I began to believe that I saw it in my dream yesterday 👻
Hahaha! Sorry for confusion! I released the video yesterday, but there was an editing mistake. I had to put it down then render and upload it again 😊
Great and inspiring demonstration. I love the Syntakt, this is a really powerful device!
You make me want to buy a Syntakt and try to jam a bit. Thank you, I subscribed because this video was so good.
Thank you!
Love the jam at the end. You make it look so easy 😊
Siiiick!
Nice one!
I've been waiting for that Syntakt from Scratch video quite a while. Thanks for sharing some of your production techniques!

Awesome video, love this little drum machine. I need to get me one of these. Excellent walkthrough.
Thank you!
Thank you for your lesson! Actually, it’s very interesting and useful to try to get sound result you achieve - but using another ELKTN device👍🤝
Always a plaisir to watch You making music! It looks like you enjoy a bit! Thanks for the good vibes and for the knowledge Sir!
