    Your video was presented at EXACTLY the right level of detail. I'd like to request a similar video that focuses on using the Digitakt with a computer to manage samples/projects, and also recording into DAWs.

    The Digitakt was driving me a bit mad. This tutorial has saved me. Thank you for such a concise explanation.

    Quite late here but I've purchased a Digitakt 2 and found your quick-start very helpful. It's currently tougher to find content on the Digitakt 2 that is similarly foundational but I can work out the differences.
    These points are perfectly simple to help me begin making something that I can work from. I'm new to your channel and will now check out what else you've uploaded.
    Being originally most comfortable with guitar, I'd like to see how I can work with both of these instruments together. Thank you for taking the time to share. /cheers

    Wow! I must say that everyone's been saying things about how hard it is to use any Elektron products but so far what I can see is very logical and intuitive! Great video

      I think Octatrack is the alleged tricky one. I've only dabbled on one a couple times.
      I did just purchase a digitakt and am looking forward to learning it.
      I think MPC are harder to learn than an Elektron IMO.

    Ohhh, thank you for this vid! You start at exactly the right spot for me. Annoying that Elektron manual and video library isn't as logical...appreciate that you put the time into filling the gap!

    Great, nicely explained! I've recently stumbled across the Digitakt & impressed so I'm now checking videos galore. . . I think I'll be getting one! Albeit more of a collector of synth's this would sit well.

    Good tutorial man. Covers a good amount to get the digi going. The rest on the Digitakt becomes pretty intuitive when you wrap your head around it’s workflow. Good work on the video.

    This is a great quickstarter! I got a Digitakt this week to act as a drum machine/sampler for my DFAM. I'm already loving it. It's very obviously geared towards live performance, but to me that just empowers the matchup with a DFAM. Sadly Overbridge is giving me a headache though (the BPM sync does not vibe well with Reaper's clock, apparently), but I'll get it sorted, surely.

    Hi Simon, I am looking for a simple but good drum machine to record on my Boss BR900cd recorder. I saw your Boss DR660 Drum Machine Tutorial and it seems a good and
    fairly easy machine to programme ( I am a guitarist!) Would you suggest anything else that may be better? Thank you.

  • @gordonthespeed4499

    Handy video, thanks, I’m a beginner to sampling and Digitakt, what is the advantage of using midi for your volca bass over just sampling the volca bass? Cheers!

    • @simonguitar4836
      @simonguitar4836  Год назад +2

      Once you sample your stuck with the sound as it was recorded. Using midi allows you to play with your instruments controls and not commit to one thing, in less your happy to do that of course. Midi would be better for live performance for this reason. For example I might want to play with a filter cutoff throughout the track. Digitakt can also only record up to 33 seconds which might not be enough if you have a 64 bar sequence and a slow enough tempo. I could go on but I'd write an essay 😂

    Hi. Thanks for the video. Where did you get the fender Rhodes sounds? I can’t find them in the factory sounds. Did you import them?

  • @TheAtheistworld

    So it generates all sounds from samples? Right? Cheers ❤

    • @Hakucho64
      @Hakucho64 8 месяцев назад

      Yes, it has eight audio tracks that play samples, and eight MIDI tracks that can play or sequence external instruments. Note that you can make the sample tracks work like a synth by using a looped single-cycle waveform as the sample (the factory presets include some examples of these). You'd be surprised how far you can get with this technique.

    Could you please tell me how much factrory samples do you have. I only have factory samples in Bank A and there are not much of them.
