I rarely comment on toob vids. You are a gifted communicator and i would imagine you positively empower 100x more people than your comment/count/subscriber tally suggests... no conceit, no hipster jargon, just pure, imaginative, intelligent information. thank you
Sequel please! This is so good. I can’t wait to sit down and try these all out. I’ll follow up with any thoughts and questions. Thanks for the great vid.
So good! Would love to seeore videos on the Digitakt. Like a short series or masterclass. Including tips that pertain to what's possible with the additional firmware updates in 2023
The tip at 13.05 about the Wavetables has featured in so many of my jams, and I'd never have though of it without your vids Loopop. Thank you so much for educating us, and for providing such clear and well presented tutorials. I would love to see another advanced Digitakt tutorial :)
You solved the PWM problem, wow! I was absolutely sure that it should be possible to do PWM sounds using Digitakt's LFO, but couldn't figure out the solution myself. Thanks for the tips!
This is incredible! Brilliant way of teaching. Everything actually made sense, and this is my first day with my Digitakt! Please do a sequel presentation!
You are an absolute madman! I've had my Digitakt for 6 months now and I never would have thought that I could get my mind blown this hard, Holy Shit. Amazing stuff!
You are an excellent comunicator and always find the way to surprise me with clever ways to expand the creative possibilities of every device. Bravo and thank you! 💚
Absolutely stunning- I recently bought a Digitakt and hadn't realised the amazing potential for using it for synthesis and creating really out there sounds. Thank you for your thorough tutorial.
This has to be one of the best digitakt tutorials on youtube. I don't even have a digitakt but there are so many great tips in here that I think would work on my octatrack as well. Thank you for doing what you do.
This couldn't come at a better time. Have been slowly researching the DT and am getting closer and closer to pulling the trigger.Even though it has some limitations, I think that can be a positive:forcing you to experiment more. Thx for your wonderful tutorials.
I just recently got a Digitakt, so these videos showcasing all the cool stuff it can do are amazing! Your videos especially are fantastic, and I'd love to see a part 2 of all the weird stuff a Digitakt can do
One of the most valuable and useful videos about Digitakt. Holy guacamole. My brain is too small to remember all these gem tricks at once, I will train hard like a synth doge to learn this device better. Great examples, video is absolutely essential for all who own or want to get Digitakt. Man, if you released only this one video, you would get into my personal Digitakt Hall of Fame anyway. Tons of respect for educating us.
Wow, this opens up an amazing amount of possibilities. Thank you very much for this. And btw: I bought a Digitakt (and many other stuff over the last years) based on your (review) videos as the main resource.
You have impeccable timing, Sir. I just picked up a Digitakt and was perusing RUclips for some tutorials, and VIOLA! ... brand new video on the Digitakt by Loopop. Keep 'em coming, man. You're doing gods work!
Great tutorial, always enjoy the way you lay out the explanations. Whoever downvoted must have hit the wrong button or is just mad they don’t have a digitakt. Only thing I can think of.
I would love to see a new video like this showing techniques you get from experimenting with the new firmware update. I’m sure the new base width filter, parametric EQ, and new LFO is gonna open up a whole new range of possibilities. The digitakt is such an innovative instrument. I recently watched a vid where someone was able to timestretch and pitch shift and even use slicing using the lfo and retrig
Greatest video on digitakt ever! one thing: “dynamic ratchets” aren’t ratchets, they’re a forward-looped sample with modulated sample length. If you turn retrigger on it, it actually won’t work.
This is BIG. Also if I can add - You can re-trigger each placed note when lfo is on sample slot as the instance of what You mentioned back in wavetable synthesis - that would free some buttons to rec to. Also it generates beautiful sounds when having fun with lfo multiplier, lfo speed, dep, track tempo, note lentht etc... i love the video. it opens my eyes on that midi self-routing. Thanks! wishing U best! and everyone -keep diggin' on Digitakt.
Ideas for Polyphony: For a song you only need 4 Accords, sometimes 6, but not more than 8. So you can do it like you showed it, with 4 Tracks and create 8 accords with the step sequenzer. Than you can let play the sequenzer and resample it with all 8 Accords than you have all 8 Accords as a sample and you can use it with one track. you only have to change the start and endpoint of the sample for each step in the sequenzer.
Loved this! So many great ideas! I’ve been messing around with a way to get the Octatrack’s “one button remix” trick working on the Digitakt. I have done it, but it’s a pain to set up tbh. Briefly: Set up two tracks with the same sample (eg a 1 bar loop) on each. Set track 1’s trigs to FIL, track 2’s to ___FIL, use LFO on each track to cycle through the sample start (you’ll need to turn LFO retrig off for every trig except the first one so basically you are faking a sliced sample. Change track 2’s length to 15 trigs (for example) and every time you hit FILL you’ll have a juggled sample. The only time it doesn’t work is if you hit FILL just as the play point hits the trig that retriggers the LFO, then it’s stutter city ;-) Anyway - awesome video. I’m off to play with some granular samples and dynamic ratchets. Thanks again!
This is the richest Digitakt video out there! Thanks a ton for your effort - really aswesome stuff! Informative and I understand everything because you have a great way of explaining!
Great video sir, as always. For the wavetable synth to work smoothly one can as well take the several waves and concatenate them to make a longer sample and then the PWM should do the trick! Thanks for the ideas!
This is incredible as usual. I've bought Digitakt about 6 months ago but barely touched it and now getting into it, I can't comprehend how powerful this little piece of hardware is. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Fantastic video! I'm watching this over and over because there's so much good stuff in here to absorb! :) Your videos make me want to go back to the instrument no matter how devoid of inspiration I currently may be!
I love your videos and reviews - so succinct. What I am going to pose on Elektronauts is that Elekton truly "open the box" and allow for "normalized internal patching" of LFO's to multiple parameters w/+/- sends. If the machine can handle it with a MIDI cable, there's no logistical reason it can't be written into the OS... right? Let's put... "requestive pressure" on them to Make it so... ;)
As I've said on instagram, probably one of favourite Digitakt tutorials so far. Man you are really intelligent. On another note, I bet a lot these ideas can be done with the Digitone too.
Pro tip for dialing in the single cycle pwm: when initially setting up the sound load the same wave into a second track and set the pitch an octave up. Set the amp envelope to infinite decay and get a note droning. Now dial in your original track start and length parameters until you get a centered selection tuned to the same pitch as the drone. You now can continue your sound design with a pwm wave that has accurate pitch to the original wave. 🏄 Save the finished product as a sound easily load it up.
Great advanced digitakt demo! I’ve been doing a similar thing to the waterdrop synthesis recently. Take a single cycle waveform and max the filter res and add a filter eg. This sort of acts like an exciter for the filter and changing the filter cutoff can get anything from water drops to bongo hits.
Sequel please!! Taking into account the new Digitakt os and what is possible with all the new options. Your videos are awesome go to reference for me btw! Thank you!!
Thanks, the piano loop granulation sounded really pleasant. I have been wanting to buy the rk for ages but forgot about it, guess 2020 is the year i will buy it :)
10:55 Try smashing/breaking glass as sample, short attack/decay amplitude with highpass filter and you have some nice hats! Put a little sample start via LFO and the hats are not the same every time.
I dont have a digiT but always useful to watch these vids. Your Waterdrop synthesis works same on an E2S - use the Claves Eight sample and follow your advice here.
for real man... this tutorial is banging my head... to much synth stuff for a simple beatmaker :D soo great... now I know what I have to learn, especially because my digitone is coming soon ... and I have NO Idea how FM Synhesis is working
Hmm... You could modulate the Decays ping pong function on and off and the steps it plays at to make it sounds like you've got multiple delays processing the sound. You'd have to step lightly and program every thing precisely and you wouldn't be able to overlap the delays but for shorter feedback delays that could be cool to have different steps delay in different ways across different tracks.
I really wish you good health and prosperity because the quality of information and depth is much appreciated and super useful....i'm not sayin anything new here. Thank you good sir. Question: Are you an engineer by profession or are you in the sound industry?
@@loopop :) you can say that it is...really considering your Patreon site I being working class barista I have t watch my spending) just the ebook sounds super worth it.
so helpful Video! One question...in minute 14:40 you switch the patterns. is it possible to have different samples in the slot for different patterns at the same time? for example...can i have in pattern A01 just 5 kicks and when i switch to pattern B02 i only do have 5 hihats in the slot? i'm a bit confused with that...maybe someone can help. thanks a lot!
I rarely comment on toob vids. You are a gifted communicator and i would imagine you positively empower 100x more people than your comment/count/subscriber tally suggests... no conceit, no hipster jargon, just pure, imaginative, intelligent information. thank you

Agreed - great stuff! 🎉
A sequel would be lovely. Excellent work!
Sequel please! This is so good. I can’t wait to sit down and try these all out. I’ll follow up with any thoughts and questions. Thanks for the great vid.
BlankFor_ms me too, was just thinking about making an advanced digitakt video myself.
In the first example of modulated ratchets (from the demo track) are the sounds repeating via retrig or looping sample?
Kentucky do it!
So good! Would love to seeore videos on the Digitakt. Like a short series or masterclass. Including tips that pertain to what's possible with the additional firmware updates in 2023
Your video presentation is far and above the gold standard of all RUclips musicians. Thanks so much.

I could spend an hour on Digitakt everyday and wouldn't 'master' the thing in 5 years. Mind blown by this metal box.
The granular part was lovely. :0
Probably my favorite too!
Agreed! Should have put it on the waveform view for that part though ;)
I would even use the track multiplier on the Track Scale settings, like X2 to have it smoother (triggered faster)
Man, the wavetable synthesis and granular synthesis are amazing!

Greatest video on digitakt ever!
one thing: “dynamic ratchets” aren’t ratchets, they’re a forward-looped sample with modulated sample length. If you turn retrigger on it, it actually won’t work.
this is still the best channel about synths out there. if you have time, please make a similar tutorial for the lovely digitone. cheers.

your section on granular synthesis was very inspiring, thank you.
Wow ! The sample slot LFO tip is absolute gold 👍🏽 thanks 🙏🏽
Props for bringing ‘granular’ synthesis to my digitakt repertoire o skills!👍🏼✊🏼🤟🏼

Thanks for the ideas!
Would you still recommend it for first drum module/machine/groove box? Goal is to connect with Moog synths and Reaper DAW
You make fantastic videos. Super thorough, insightful and helpful
