Get The Most Out Of The Digitakt Slice Machine

- We have all had the new-ish Digitakt update for a while now. Here are some workflow tips and trick to get the most out of the slice machine.
I have been super inspired by Special Request @PaulWoolfordMusic so I show my way to get a little of the sound he gets on his breaks.
If you want to learn more about cutting up breaks and making jungle/drum n bass @STRANJAH is the channel for you.

This is crazy good, I used this on a DnB track I was playing with recently. The DT is so deep and powerful.
Yeah, I love this little box. I need to take some time and learn all the features. I do have a habit of learning enough to get going and then I just stay there. I know that it can do way more than I do with it.
Brilliant, I will now need to re watch this a thousand times and hopefully do something similar on my DT!
Thank you for watching. The video from Elektron giving an overview of the other machines is another great video to check out.
Little shortcut, if you put in the trigs (without selecting the slice number) and then just hit "yes" on the src page, you'll get a menu where you can enter in linear trigs and it will split it like this all for you. (also lets you do random trigs as well)
Oh nice!!! Thanks for the tip.
Problem with the linear locks is that it will spit them out in a 1-2-3-4-5... order across the trigs, even when you have set the length to 2 and put a trigger on every 2nd step. So you end up with trig 1 playing slice 1+2, trig 2 playing slice 2+3, and so forth. I haven't found a way yet to get it to distribute them linearly in a correct spacing that isn't based on slices and trigs of length 1.
nice, very detail. love the junglist vibes
Thanks matey!!! I do love some jungle.
Btw you can target delay time with an LFO using Midi loopback (Delay Time is CC 85) -- not as convenient as it being in the standard list of destinations but pretty quick to set up. Loopop has a good video on it.
Oh nice, thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check out his video.
Nice overview. In terms of the old school sampler stretch effect there are a couple of other tricks you can employ. Firstly is to lock the grid slices to be a longer multiple, i normally plan to have my breaks work when sliced to 32 so I can lock to 64 for a half-time stretch effect easily and quickly. Second, more involved but infinitely weirder, is to make a second sample track set to one shot mode and use the pre-1.5 firmware "timestretch" method (search dialetrics timestretch on RUclips for the details as its quite complex to type out) and then use neighbour trigs to cycle between the slice mode track and your timestretch channel. If you use midi loopback you can also use a midi channel to sequence the delay time effect.
Oh nice, I'm def going to give this a go. It's funny when you kind of find a way of doing things you can stay in that lane until someone say "hey check this out" and then you realize you have been missing out hahahahaha
Subscribed! Great work.
Awesome, thank you!
Good Stuff
Thanks matey!
thx!
You're very welcome!! Thanks for watching.
Great video, great times within! Btw, how do we spell jousj? That's my approximation.
Thank you. I just tried to look up how to spell it...... I feel like i'm further away than before hahahahahaha

Do I understand correctly that you first opened your slices in ableton to warp them to a certain tempo. And that tempo is exactly the same as in digitakt itself? How did you export the samples from ableton. Or could you just drag&drop them?
I warped the drum loop to the tempo that I wanted to work in and I made sure that everything was on the grid. I found that this was key for when you use the Slice function so all of the hits are aligned to each slice.
why pronounce it weird its DIGI like DIGITAL
Probably because I'm a weirdo.
Most people pronounce it with the hard G because it's Swedish and that's how they pronounce it. Most of the early demo videos pronounced it with the hard G.
So it's not really the same as digital. That's an English word.
