    You are probably the first person who made a tutorial on the Digitakt who didn't navigate the interface at 1,000 miles per hour.
    Thanks for being easy to follow. Wonderful video.

    I’ve been kicking over the idea of trading out my digitakt for an MPC One. This video reminded me of why I was drawn to the digitakt in the first place. I’m inspired by how you used the instrument here to let the digitakt create some inflections and impressions that could never exist on any other device. If the MPC One takes you precisely where you mean to go, the digitakt takes you everywhere else. Thanks for this!

    This is brilliant! The first stuff I made with the Digitakt was much more on the ambient / evolving side, and it gets you some great unexpected sound design results really quickly (e.g. one of my favourite bass sounds came from a downtuned choir). Feels like an injustice to see it as just a drum machine, though it's really strong for that too. Biggest challenge is fitting everything into 8 tracks..

    I love the way this allows you to use free running loops but the changes to the loop are done in the digitakt grid, so it still happens in a nice controllable way, which is usually challenging when using loops with the digitakt.

    • @OscillatorSink
      @OscillatorSink  4 года назад

      Exactly, if you have a more abstract loop or something with a more constant tone, you can really reinforce the idea of what's going on in the grid without totally killing the vibe.
