What do use for audio input?

Mpc software is weird so i feel you

Yoooo I'm doing exactly what you are. Switching my studio PC out for a Mac mini. I'm so glad you made this video cuz I also make music as well as videos. I also already have the same SSD from sandisk lol. I have a bunch of experience with final cut pro so it's another big reason for me to switch. I got certified to use it in highschool and miss it tbh. It made video creation so easy!

A midi arpegiator ! It's where it's not my perfect machine, but love it from far !

Всё хорошо , но мутновато по звучанию

sent mine back .no fun too much hard work.

I think if you’re using it for mastering, Air Maximiser is better and more interesting to use… oh and it’s free with an MPC

Great video, thank you! What would interest me is that you don't see anyone using a master keyboard on the MPC, although that should work. Is it possible to connect an 88-keyboard and assign a different sound (or several sounds) to the MPC keyboard? If so, the 37 version would be a smart addition to a good master keyboard!

It seems to me that both Akai MPC and Native Instruments Maschine are both really bad at integrating Audio editing and sampling and correlating them to MIDI sequences.

Great review. No such thing as an "upright grand" piano, it is a marketing term.

which piece of gear allows one to record more than 8 bars? I'm curious because it's one of the things that I have to mentally plan for when making tracks and i'd like to have the option to make longer loops.

Time code was my first issue and the fact that it can’t record past 18-20 per file on sd card. With them being g sold I don’t see any more upgrades now so worried I might sell it

Great summary, thanks pal!

I would watch a two hour video.

Hello Can I connect an audio interface to my mpc 37 key since I play the guitar?

Not demoing the actual soft clipping is a bit weird tbh. That's where it is different from a Tube Drive...

Really nice you can put your hardware synths in it, really want this awesome toy 👌

what effect did you have going at 3:03? what a crazy sound!

Hi! Thanks for the video. Have they fixed MIDI issues with Modwheel and Aftertouch in this model? Can Digitakt record and pass them to other devices?

Awesome video. Thank you I wonder how many audio tracks the 37 has as a stand alone so for vocals and bass etc.

overbridge needed desperately...

How do you keep your room so dust free?

You could actually do a built in battery DIY style but you'll loose the warranty of course. There're a few videos on RUclips about doing the DIY battery route.

Back in 2016 my very first synth was a Juno 60 and I had NO idea what I was doing, just that it was hard to make it sound bad. I no longer have either of the Juno’s I’ve owned but I do have a larger understanding of subtractive synthesis and enjoy the MPC workflow; this couldn’t be more perfect. The sound quality is amazing and the extra parameters (even with a tiny bit of menu diving) make me feel way less shitty about selling my 60 and 106. Admittedly I wish I hadn’t sold the 60 for sentimental purposes but this at least goes above and beyond to scratch the sonic itch.

I agree! I will never let go of my MPC Live 2 because of its portability. A battery inside of the Digitakt would be insanely cool! I would take it everywhere!

No mono sampling, how is the panning in stereo?

Had it had at least 6 mono / 3 stereo pairs outputs we'd been golden. Too bad

ram should be a limit of your budget not the manufacturer, its 2024, ram costs next to nothing.

for +1k.. no internal battery, polyphony, looper, manual slicing, arp.. just a pure rip off. waiting for digitakt 7

Still debating if I should get DT 2 or another Octatrack The Octatrack has more outputs but I think the time stretch on this machine is probably better. Also the extra channels are interesting to me.

You got me into the MPC one back in the day great videos :) What’s ya thought on the Trackers from dirtywave and Polyend

100% agree about the battery - it should have been added and it would make such a difference! Literally it would become the perfect groovebox.

As an ex Elektron avid fan and ex owner of pretty much all their stuff except og machines and syntakt (still think it’s the laziest move they made) I had to try this mk2. I had original from the release month and loved it to death but gradually outgrown it an eventually sold as for a year it was just collecting dust. I had mk2 for a few weeks on loan and the problem I have with it is digitakt mk2 trying to be a jack of all trades but master of non. A bit of groove box, underwhelming sampler and somehow very limited synth. In my opinion even Dirtywave M8 being size of mobile phone is a lot better at everything. And even have built in battery. As you said it’s plenty of space inside which is just air. So my personal final thought is elektron lately just sell air in a fancy packaging and with good advertising.

I'm still sticking with the old version. The stereo sampling and storage space was always a problem for me. That's why I compensated for it with an SP404 MK2 or Blackbox. That's why I like the SP 404 Mk2, because of the battery and also because of USB-C, quick and fast with a working app.The new software features are great, I'd like them too, but the hardware doesn't make up for it. Maybe the third or an MK version? I'll wait and see, for the new price, I personally would have expected more.

Thanks!

Dude thank you for making this!!! This is pretty much exactly how I build songs, I like to play in as much as I can, and I have wondered if it would even be possible on Digitakt. I like to play my ideas in so it's intentional and built in phrases, then use the sampler/sequencer to modify and create weirdness. Especially since I've been getting more into idm/glitch/breakcore styles, but I still prefer to play in my parts. Once Overbridge is for sure available, I'm 100% getting the DT2. Thanks man this seriously helped contextualize its usability for me.

I'd trade the internal battery for polyphony any day! I'd carry a separate powerbank+pd adaptor with built in "poly machine" rather than RK midi loopback cable and "OEM" battery. Nice review tho, and I can relate in feeling the Syntakt suddenly aged a bit, workflow wise. I'd love a MK2 with just the QoL upgrades from the Digitakt II and the same new buttons layout, as I always make mistakes jumping from one to another during jams 😅

Would you consider making a tutorial for the Digitakt II? I really like your style and workflow. Thanks!

I have a PD for my Syntakt and I love that. I take it places and make music on the fly. I have a case that fits both the Syntakt and the PD, that’s a worthy investment. But I agree, it should at least have battery option. I’m shocked that wasn’t included in this upgrade.

Yo! Thanks for the shoutout <3 Super sick bassline Tefty!

Omg that’s what I needed to see! 🔥

Very informative 👍

Good video. I don't have one but I dig the diggy-tact and will continue to call it that. If I had the budget I'd get one and a 404 to go alongside my One because I think different workflows lead to different results in the same way a Les Paul will lead a guitarist in a different direction to a Strat or a Tele.

I would love to see a Digitakt 2 vs MPC One/Live/X from your channel sometime. The hype surrounding the mk2 had me looking at boxes and I wound up getting the MPC One+ instead of the digitakt2.

I bit the bullet on the DT2 and love it. I decide to keep the OG as a midi sequencer and backup sampler. Still waiting for DT2 Overbridge support though. Thanks for the vid. Regards to you and Meems.

Awesome overview! Would be something I would think about if I was into hardware!

I'm curious to know how sonically different this is from the stock soft clipper under drum efx 🤔

Great honest review!

Thank you.

Thanks so much for reviewing this plugin. Much appreciated.
