While I wish there was actual sample slicing on board I understand that this machine just isn’t for my particular way of working. I’m also seeing how perfect it is for how a lot of other people work. Stoked for them!
Measured take! But... I'm bummed! I love working with Digitakt and haven't gotten on well with Octatrack (despite my adoration of your videos), so I was really hoping for slicing here. So it goes!
got to have a reason for people to still move up to the OT I guess - I think stereo, more LFOs and more audio tracks might make this look very appealing to people who were on the fence about the digitakt 1. I'm definitely getting one haha
Yea for real! I love all the new features but without sample slicing it's no good for me either. I need proper slice control for break chopping & resamped audio as part of my workflow. Yes you can use digi chains but it's a bit of a faff for a £900 sampler.
I’ve had the original Digitakt for about 5 years now, and it’s been my absolute favorite piece of gear since. I don’t think I need this upgrade, and I’m still perfectly happy with mine, but I must say that Elektron shows, once more, why it’s one of the best music companies out there. Delivering quality, listening to their customers, showing how much they care about what they make. There are few companies that are genuinely changing the music gear industry (Chase Bliss, Hologram Electronics and Soma, to name a few) and you guys truly stand out as one of them. I’ll watch all the demos just for the sake of it 🫶🏼
Beautiful demo and so much yes going on here, but the biggest yes is that we can uplift our mk1 projects/live sets that we so long worked for! Love it !
Yeah a feature I really missed when I switched from model samples to Takt ..... two years of work on the samples just sitting there. Its such a pain to handtranslate the pattern to the takt...
digitakt user for like 2 months now - i love this so much. Elektron... please continue to pave the way. Your hardware changed my life and workflow when it comes to creating... So excited for this!!
I dunno... I think could use some more close ups cutaways of the sweater and blur/focus shots. more bokeh. or more of like, hiding behind a pencil cup sneakily peaking at the machine for a second. and like, maybe even more dutch angle ... slow mo hair?
Every time I watch this I am more ready to get one of these, just saving up and it's mine. Really, really hoping for manual slicing someday! Either way, this is a really exciting video. This will be my first Elektron box after a couple years of deliberation and considering the options.
they don´t only sell great gear but a whole 21st century edgy creatives lifestyle, design and philosophy - that what I call cool and inspiring to be part of it. Love those tracks here..
@@alexandervaldorf1825 if you want you can keep it midi, but if you dont need 8 of them (in my case I hardly ever use the midi tracks at all) it is a supernice plus
If my home studio somehow magically disappeared, the Digitakt would be the first piece I'd get back (even before a laptop). I love it deeply, best gear I've ever had. And even though I have gearlust for the DT2, I feel that the DT1 is still immensely relevant these days, with the late updates (samples modes, song mode, keyboard, etc...).
elektron do good videos. i remember one of the videos for the original digitakt that cenk did being really stand out compared to most videos from other companies. he didnt waffle on, he actually showed how to use it and made it sound good at the same time. kind of crazy how rare that is. something i love about this is how natural her voice sounds. nothing too over the top or overly enthusiastic and the sounds make want to go buy this thing right away!
@elektron what you need to make next is a digi sized box with digitone’s poly sequencer and arpeggiator, 12-16 tracks, sampling, or at least sample playback machine, fm, analog, Syntakt machines, 3 lfos per track, and the FX block. You’re on the verge of greatness.
Hey @elektron I LOVE THE TAKT2!! I would love if there were more destinations such as for trig probability, fill on/off, and for the euclidean sequencer. Love the device either way but that would take it to a whole other level as a generative device.
ELEKTRON STRIKES AGAIN! Looks amazing. 3 LFOs is hype! I hope the price isn't too outrageous. Looking forward to getting my hands on one. And thank goodness Digitakt is now confirmed to be pronounced "Dijitackt" not "Diggytackt".
What a fantastic upgrade. It has most of what users asked for and even more. It is a pity that the zoom function outside the sampling screen isn't available (yet) and zero crossing on samples has been omitted. These are functions that I found very useful on the Octatrack and really missed on the Digitakt, but who knows, maybe this will be added in a future update 😊
Great video and some fantastic music, especially that final track. I really like the idea of owning a Digitakt II but as I have no rhythm programming talent I just think it would be wasted money. I suspect this impressive little box is only ever as good as the talent of the person using it.
what is the best way to upgrade from DT to DTii? Samples are straightforward, just folder duplicate into new machine. But will the Sysex be enough for whole project cloning?
This is awesome, both for the new piece of hardware AND the fact that used Digitakts mark1 will be cheap as dirt, hopefully! Hahaha I'm here for a feast
This is massive. The expanded sample slots are exactly what's needed to compile individual projects into live sets, not to mention all of the other upgrades from DKT 1... And 128 steps!? looking forward to this 🌳📐🤟.
So I was playing mine last night and I experienced a weird bug where 4 of the 16 tracks were double triggering and they wouldn't sequence as well. After 30 mins they eventually one by one went back to normal but it was so bizarre....I don't have these issues with my Digitone, what is the deal with this thing, is there a recommended warm up period?
At the first glance, the Digitakt II is ticking all the boxes.....
They knew what they were doing
I love it, just one gripe, would've liked an extra pair of outputs but not a deal breaker
coming soon on the Bad Gear chanel
LOOOOOL!
all I can hear in my head is
dee-lay
😂
I was just about to comment that haha

Mk1 DT is a beast, i run midi trks to my old akai s3000xl for stereo samples and vibes the two pair nice and more 1/4 outs.
Still tho, saving midi tracks as presets and renaming midi parameters is pretty damn compelling
Same here 🙏
@@atommachine- I do similar with an old Yamaha A3000 sampler.
The DT is fantastic.
if it just had (at least) a couple extra outputs it would be my dream machine 😢

Exactly. This is SUPER important
Was about to get the Digitakt soon but now here we are! Super excited for this!!!! Hopefully the octatrakt gets an upgrade soon
digitakt user for like 2 months now - i love this so much. Elektron... please continue to pave the way. Your hardware changed my life and workflow when it comes to creating... So excited for this!!
Great one Elektron!!
love the video and the DigiKAT in the background
congrats Elektron!
just wanted to say that this is an incredibly beautifully produced promo vid. nice 1. congrats on the new instrument.
Yes I agree, great video! This is the reason I don't get sent gear to make videos on. lol
I dunno... I think could use some more close ups cutaways of the sweater and blur/focus shots. more bokeh. or more of like, hiding behind a pencil cup sneakily peaking at the machine for a second. and like, maybe even more dutch angle ... slow mo hair?
@@Mewtedyes, getting so tired of this hipster sh*t...
Darn, was hoping for the Octatrack Mk3 :*)
The features are really gamechanging. For me it’s the stereo, Kits, the 8 extra channels and new cntrl all feature that make it a live monster.
Perform kit is also great for playing live! You can mess around on your set and return it to its original saved state easily!
Holysh*t. Well done Elektron. Meet you at the cash register... Also S/O to Risa T. Great music!
Man, I missed half of the features, the music was so good.
Risa!! 👊🏼
She's really good
@@vyrvygora The best 🙌🏼
Can't wait to see what you can do with this beauty 😊
I wish she did more YT videos, this video came out really well.
Who is she?

Thumbs up for Risa T. Congrats to Elektron on the new product release. Nice work.
Amazing! The video is stunning, the tracks are good ! You are the best ! What a beautiful machine and company!
Risa T! I recrognize that voice. She's a great representative for Elektron. She makes great music.
You can load up your OG Digitakt projects and get 8 extra tracks!! My lord!
But than you lose 8 midi tracks 😢
@@alexandervaldorf1825you can set any track to be a midi track
@@alexandervaldorf1825 if you want you can keep it midi, but if you dont need 8 of them (in my case I hardly ever use the midi tracks at all) it is a supernice plus
Ahhh Risa T killing it 🎉 and those cute cats too ❤
Cat lady🏋🏼♀️
Very interesting and many thanks for the video. That was an excellent video edit and a big compliment. Very nicely done. 👍👏👏👏 I have subscribed.
thats very very cool demo, Risa is amazing
and here is an amazing future studio companion. thank you Elektron!! great music and a great demo video!
We need that chorus and compressor on the Syntakt!!
Yes!
Amazing! Just made my favorite sampler even better! Well done Elektron!
If my home studio somehow magically disappeared, the Digitakt would be the first piece I'd get back (even before a laptop). I love it deeply, best gear I've ever had.
And even though I have gearlust for the DT2, I feel that the DT1 is still immensely relevant these days, with the late updates (samples modes, song mode, keyboard, etc...).
great job!
but I just bought 1( I will wait for more grandiose updates to it)). PS, it's really cool that you organized the effects page
Was just looking at the first one, had to sell mine 4 years back... Definitely getting this one to Pair with the Sp404MK2
That was... wow Digitakt II is ticking most of the boxes so far! The music in this video was really great. Phew
Really like the intro dnb tune!
Such an amazing update Elektron! 🖤
elektron do good videos. i remember one of the videos for the original digitakt that cenk did being really stand out compared to most videos from other companies. he didnt waffle on, he actually showed how to use it and made it sound good at the same time. kind of crazy how rare that is.
something i love about this is how natural her voice sounds. nothing too over the top or overly enthusiastic and the sounds make want to go buy this thing right away!
Outta the blue ❤ If the Syntakt 2 got some of these features as well (128 steps, kits, FX, etc.) I'd be in heaven!
Although the yellow screen was better for the eyes and late night sessions, perfect upgrades!
128steps nice, I could see this feature being added to all the devices, extremely useful for pattern changes between devices
🔥 Very enjoyable video really liked the presenter she did well and the new machine looks excellent adding it to my arsenal soon ❤
WOOOOOW. Best music tech designers in the world hands down. Even better than I could have dared imagine
thaaaaaank you for kits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also dope overview and demo! !!
Fantastic update
@WeAreElektron will any of the somewhat lesser cpu intensive functions (mute preparation etc) be available on the Digitakt 1?
Great sounds, great artist
Wow, looks like a beast. Instant classic
I may have finally found my forever groove box.
i order right now can t wait insane machine
Curious if any features will make it to the og DT.

can you please release the intro track somewhere I need to listen to that
First! This is a fantastic update, thank you Elektron, can't wait to get one!
REALLY AWESOME!
I wonder if we’re gonna get any love with the new os on DT1.
Does it still have loopcloud integration?
great demo
I will order it immediately !! Awesome!!
Can you use the LFO or other pages for the ext ins?
Nice one! ❤😊
Nice Move, Elektron. Obviously a very beautiful kid of the Digitakt!!
ELEKTRON STRIKES AGAIN! Looks amazing. 3 LFOs is hype! I hope the price isn't too outrageous. Looking forward to getting my hands on one. And thank goodness Digitakt is now confirmed to be pronounced "Dijitackt" not "Diggytackt".
Good. But what about separate headphones output that could be used to cue/pre-listen tracks and samples?
Glad I just got a Digitakt at the end of last year.
Will buyers of e25 Digitakt be able to swap it?
Awesome stuff! pls elektron make digitone mk2 and go wild with it!
This is amazing great job elektron!
This is what i was asking for
that kit @ 6:30 Bonus Round is dope.. anyone know what its original is?
What a fantastic upgrade. It has most of what users asked for and even more. It is a pity that the zoom function outside the sampling screen isn't available (yet) and zero crossing on samples has been omitted.

no one walks out of the womb knowing how to program the digitakt beautifully but feel free to continue with your self fulfilling prophecies
Did you guys fix the MIDI problem with passing Modwheel / Aftertouch MIDI messages ? Also, does it record MW / AT from external gear now?
great update!
Is it still monophonic?
Thanks ! I prefer to get the Digitakt 2 over the Octatrack for live size.
So what can it do melodically?
Now I want a Digitone 2. It’s only right. Right? 🤷🏾♂️
what is the best way to upgrade from DT to DTii? Samples are straightforward, just folder duplicate into new machine. But will the Sysex be enough for whole project cloning?
Risa T rocks this little box.
This camera work reminds me of a drunken night out
Yep I am definitely maybe probably will be getting one.!
Curious if the midi thru has been updated - can we finally pass PB, AT, etc.??
Second this. Anyone know?
This is awesome, both for the new piece of hardware AND the fact that used Digitakts mark1 will be cheap as dirt, hopefully! Hahaha I'm here for a feast
Dispapointed by lack of adjustable slices for the slice machine :/
Agreed
@@asynchronicity Still?! Jesus. It's basic stuff, Elektron, add it to both DTs ...
This is massive. The expanded sample slots are exactly what's needed to compile individual projects into live sets, not to mention all of the other upgrades from DKT 1... And 128 steps!? looking forward to this 🌳📐🤟.
Risa T 🌟. Congratulations elektron 🙏🏾
its 2024, can we get samplers with polyphoney?
Love that Risa T did the video! She kills it
No mention of when it is going to be available to ship. I'm ready to purchase now.
Correct Video. ❤ Love Elektron.
Can all effects be used on ome or more tracks receiving live audio from the inputs, too? So like the separate FX Track on the Syntakt.
Congrats, this looks like a massive update :)
will i be able to transfer projects from the original digitakt to this one?
So I was playing mine last night and I experienced a weird bug where 4 of the 16 tracks were double triggering and they wouldn't sequence as well. After 30 mins they eventually one by one went back to normal but it was so bizarre....I don't have these issues with my Digitone, what is the deal with this thing, is there a recommended warm up period?
THIS is a gamechanger!
So what’s the key differences between dt1 &2? That make it a lot better?
Can we please have 128 steps on Syntakt? And the compressor?
Also, when Octatrack Mk3?
When can we expect this to be in our studio's 😎? Amazing update to the MK1, thanks for keeping the same layout and form Factor
No velocity sensitivity?
Now we need a Martin Stimming review.
Tell me, are the projects of these digitals compatible? can I upload a project from OG Digitakt to Digitakt II?
Does it have Stem separation or will that be available in the near future?
Will there be an update firmware for DT1?
