Wait. But can you sequence the Peak polyphonically this way? I was kinda hearing a chord there. Or was it some oscillator tuned?

This is gamechanger. I have Roland tr-8s and Roland J6 but there is no option to add another synth simultaneously in this way and record all of them in one session. Awesome. Thats why I'm turning into elektron world

You really should do a comprehensive how to connect external intstruments to the A4.. your missing alot more info

AWESOME, Awesome ... 😍🤩🥰🤪

Very f.. good live performance. Respect

Thanks for making this! Well done!

Another one that is crazy overpriced - I'd rather have a deepmind, 2.5k AUD in my pocket and 3x the polyphony. I honestly prefer my DSI Tetras to this elektron, and I have two of those chained for 8 poly. I just am not hearing anything special here at all for nearly 4 thousand Australian dollars. The world has gone mad.

It would be really perfect if it was able to sequence CC as well 😪

ive had the cycles for a bit now and just looking to user the sequencing for the first time, that little arp you setup is epic, would be good to see that broken down your hands were too quick

I can’t wait to try this with Hydrasynth

Can you use note slide and accent level or is it disabled when sequencing externals?

Hi! I want to connect the Behringer TD3 and the Volca Keys. They both got midi channel number 1. How do I connect the two without them producing the same patterns?

The video quality !!!!

Nice Vide. THANKYOU. Can you explain how the midi thru box is connected in this setup please?

Sounds good.

How are you setting up the whole thing? I'm trying to sequence Koala on my Syntakt, and while I can get the Syntakt pads to play Koala's samples, I can't get the sequencer to trigger Koala's samples and when I press play it tries to play Koala's own recorded sequences instead.

Will the FX save if the analog heat is not connected? As in the next time you open the project in ableton without the heat being turned on

would be great to see a tutorial how you made those macros!

great stuff! any trouble with latency or with audio levels?

Excellent video, extremely helpful. Would it be possible to connect a controller keyboard to the midi in on the Digitakt and use this to play in notes into the sequencer instead of the buttons the Digitakt itself? Also, as there is only 4 note polyphony would it be possible to set an external synth like the pro 800 to 2 different midi channels so it could play the full 8 notes of polyphony from the Digitakts sequencer? Thanks for any help.

if i have to buy one first, which one, i have no drum machine at the moment, just other synths and ableton

Hi! Is A4 sending the _polyphonic_ MIDI out by DIN5 to any capable synth? I was trying to record chords on some T-track of A4 mk2 (internally in a pattern) to sequence my Microfreak. But seems that by some reason it was putting only single notes in a sequence for one track. Is there some "secret" setting to do this? BTW I was playing on Microfreak via MIDI using A4 keyboard and it was sending multiple notes without a problem. This makes me think that I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you, appreciate the info and the quality of the presentatiom. Something so simple but I was messing around for ages trying to get it work before I found this video.

i feel like Elektron hired someone to just sabotage the usability and make it totally bizarro and menu divey also f this arpeggiator - its totally unconnected to Midi out. Also you cant overdub record the sequencer? So if you lay down one sound for a basskick then putting in a snare will overwrite it unless you do finger gymnastics in step record

Thanks for this roundup. I didn't know about the randomize parameters. Wonder if it will work on my Analog Keys (seems like it will since it's not marked as A4mk2 specific). Some future topic suggestions (since you asked): I'd love more tutorial videos, especially for efficient/creative workflows, including integrating a DAW (especially Ableton) into workflows, especially beyond the absolute basics. designing kits+patterns for dynamic/expressive live performance in mind; interfacing in a multidevice live-setup (I appreciated your video about using the A4's midi out features with external gear). Finally, backup procedures to a computer? It's a weirdly boring request/question, but since Elektron shelved their C6 software, there's no great way I've found to back up projects/kits/patterns/sounds on MacOS. "SyxEx Librarian" app is what other users recommended, but I can't get it to successfully receive files that the AK will then understand. thanks again for the excellent videos!

Thanks for this helpful video! I'm trying to understand how to have the tracks be in sync with Ableton's clock so that I don't have to edit/warp each individual track after recording. I want to have my tracks recording be in sync with Ableton's timeline, more automatically, in other words? Is this not possible? I'm using the Analog Keys, but I figure this should be more or less the same. Ableton is suggesting, via a dialog box that opens when you open the Overbridge plugin in Ableton, that you sync your device to Ableton via OB. I'm having latency issues and I think the solution might involve setting "latency delay compensation" amounts in Ableton? But I'm not sure if this is correct or how exactly to do this. thanks!

THANK YOU!

looking into one of these but am shit at piano. thanks for posting.

Thank you!

Nice we’re do you find most of your sounds to play ;) ❤

What input you plug guitar into digitone ? How did you activate it in settings on digitone?

Nice to see an instructional video done properly :)

how to you get around with the pad sensitivity? mines are really tough to press

Bro.... Was that Chrono Trigger sound effects I hear in the intro?

can you please help I'm not seeing the signal come through on the plug on the plug-in or the machine through the in and out I had it connected the same way I just rebooted my computer I mean just open my computer and started to try to start a new project with the same settings And it's just I'm not seeing it the signal go through the in and out If you can understand what I'm saying

Damn I wanna use this next to the mpc one so bad

It it possible with an external keyboard synth, to alternate between using it to play audio samples 1-8 on AutoChannel, and then back to playing the actual sounds on the keyboard itself?

Nice work - thank you so much

Awesome video. Reminds of the Sorcerer's OST

Thanks a lot for the tutorial!!!

i cant figure out on how to record the individual tracks with the effects on. i only get dry version

hi there. probably a stupid question but for an audio interface for both machines i will need 4 line inputs yes? or could i away with 2 line inputs? great work btw!!!!!!

Thanks for the video, very helpful ! Unfortunately, I have a huge latency when I record them. I have to do track by track and rewarp them. Any idea to go more efficient ?? Thank you !

Dude great playing! And a solid reminder of why I will never sell my digitone keys, what a perfect synth

Really great, thanks for sharing. Were you recording into Logic via usb or quarter jacks into a soundcard?

how do you use the step sequencer to record a melody or bass line without having to choose every note with the rotary encoder?

Hola gente, necesito que me ayuden con un problema, mí model samples no graba en vivo. Al apretar el botón de grabar y hacer sonar los track no quedan grabados en la secuencia. No se escuchan ni parpadean, alguien sabe a qué puede deberse? Muchas gracias

This is a golden tutorial. Thanks!! Question: Can you enter notes, cc changes into the Digitakt using your external synth--rather than using the buttons on the digitakt? Kinda like what you do with the Pyramids sequencer, where it records midi values and parameter changes from your midi'd synth to the Pyramids? Or is this a one way proposition with the Digitakt?

Fantastic video! Out of interest how would you also get the Peak into Ableton?

Not only the best MC tutorial but amongst the very best I've seen for any eletronic instrument.
