Thanks so much for that!! I’ve got an OP-1 video coming out tomorrow and want to keep expanding my topics as I keep chugging along with these weekly vids.
Excellent vid! Curious-- there aren't any videos on this (from my searching). Can you connect a simple MIDI keyboard to the Digitakt (Keystep, etc), and record into the MIDI tracks in realtime (say, controlling a desktop synth like a Volca Keys)...? There are literally no videos about this. However, when people connect a keyboard to the Digitakt, they often play the audio tracks (1-8), or they input chords in step-time to the MIDI tracks. Any chance you could do a video showing how to connect a proper keyboard to record chords and melodies in real-time? I'm sure it will help a lot of Digitakt beginners or curious parties out there. Thanks! Subbed!
Hey, thanks so much for watching/subbing! In all honestly, I haven’t connected any external gear to the Digitakt, aside from the Digitone recently. Admittedly, MIDI knowledge is something that I’m generally lacking in, in terms of hardware. That said, I believe Cuckoo has a bit of a MIDI crash course at the end of his Digitakt mega tutorial that may be of use (if you haven’t watched that already). And I agree, I’ve tried it look up what I thought was relatively basic MIDI stuff online and it can be hard as hell to find specific answers. Definitely let me know if you’re able to find anything that helps!
Omg my friend, I’ve been hoping my DT can record your live actions and you just showed that it can! I asked other YTers and they thought that couldn’t be done. So thank you! I’m referring to 9:50. Know if I can do that with the filter pass too?? Omg this is exciting!
Yes, yes you can! It locks the value that the knob is at per step, so it isn't going to necessarily be a "smooth" change between values, but you can indeed record in the knob turn, I do it all the time.
@@SlowHaste It doesn't seem to work properly when I try it with filters. Seems to record over the first bar twice. And these effects don't work over pattern chaining either. I guess it has its limits...
@@neonpop80 awww no, you can’t parameter lock the ctrl all function :( I realized you also commented on another one of my vids to ask haha. It would be fantastic if that was a feature, but you can only record p-locks for one track at a time
@@neonpop80 yeah every hardware certainly does have limits!! If you’re interested in more effects-centric/global parameter manipulation, the Octatrack really excels at that! I have some videos on my channel going over some of those features, too.
Oh gosh yeah that’s a whole other issue, I think I’ve seen that in every DT video! My film light was actually flashing like crazy while I was shooting but you really can’t tell on the recording luckily
I’ve never used the TR-8S, but I will always support the Digitakt. That said, it might be a lot if it’s your first drum machine (unless your familiar with samplers/sequencing in general)! I’d definitely check out the manual before committing.
Thanks for the feedback! I was recently partnered and the RUclips ads are auto placed on my videos, so I will have to take a look at the settings to reduce them.
Bro you are legit my f*****g hero on RUclips right now
Haha oh man I’m so honored!! I’m glad I could help ya in some way 😎
I love your Digitakt tutorials, thanks. I really hope you do more though. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!! I absolutely plan to do more so stay tuned!
@@SlowHaste I've just gone through this tutorial on mine and I've learn't so much, thanks. You explain as to what you are doing very well.
@@G0nz0uk thanks again!! happy to have helped
Not really interested in the digitakt but love the way you present, care about your music and enjoy sharing knowledge with others. Big love bro
Thanks so much for that!! I’ve got an OP-1 video coming out tomorrow and want to keep expanding my topics as I keep chugging along with these weekly vids.
Really enjoying your vids! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks so much!! I certainly will :)
This is where I will come once I acquire a Digitakt
Yessss join the club!!
another great video
Thank youuuu
You’re very welcome!

@@SlowHaste Ohhhh.. this isn't global parameters though right?

Would be great to have the same (or some sort of (beginner;) tutorial) for the Digitone !
Awesome, I’d love to make one soon!
@@SlowHaste 🤩👍 Thank you !
i have never updated, but id like to. should i be worried about losing my projects and sounds? do i need to back them up first?
Backups are always a good call, but I didn’t have any issues (and haven’t heard of anyone else) when I did the update! It’s totally worth it IMO
I can never get the shutter speed right to avoid flicker on the Digi screens either.
Oh gosh yeah that’s a whole other issue, I think I’ve seen that in every DT video! My film light was actually flashing like crazy while I was shooting but you really can’t tell on the recording luckily
looking for my first drum machine
should i go for TR-8S or Digitakt?
I’ve never used the TR-8S, but I will always support the Digitakt. That said, it might be a lot if it’s your first drum machine (unless your familiar with samplers/sequencing in general)! I’d definitely check out the manual before committing.
I get 4-8x times the ads on this channel compared to Loopop, RMR, and Cuckoo.
Thanks for the feedback! I was recently partnered and the RUclips ads are auto placed on my videos, so I will have to take a look at the settings to reduce them.
also I am happy you have been watching the channel enough to take note of something like that!
