Track info:

I have been away from my gear for a long long time, I am still working on getting back into the game. When I am lacking inspiration I always try and break things down into lesser components.. like on this jam where i just use the Digitakt and the two volcas.

I didn't want to make percussion on the digitakt, the idea on this one is to try and explore how it can be used as a synth while jamming on the volcas. I am playing the bass sound + some simple stabs and sequence style sounds on it. Pretty fun setup, and really nice compact workflow .. eg easy to reach between the volcas and the digitakt controls.

Also, there are some errors in the track, but i decided to keep the song as is.. even though i had takes with no errors this one had the best overall feeling to it. It is live, straight to 2 track as usual :)

Gear used:

- Elektron Digitakt
- Elektron Digitone ( no sounds used, FX + sequencer for the volca bass )
- KORG volca keys + Zoom ms-70 CDR ( ICE delay and particle reverb )
- KORG volca bass + FX delay/reverb from the digitone
- Zoom H5 recorder

Elektron Digitakt built in samples and sequencing a Monologue

Published on Jun 1, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Using the new Elektron Digitakt with 6 tracks of some of the built in samples and 1 midi track sequencing the Korg Monologue. Tweaking some of the filters and the send reverb and delay effects. Some LFO modulation is used and some trig conditions to vary the sequence some.

Digitakt, from Elektron, is a compact digital sampling drum machine that has everything one needs to make beats. With its highly flexible digital architecture, sounds can be manipulated, mangled, chopped, and organized to make any type of rhythms. It has a fully featured live-friendly sequencer that can also be used to sequence external MIDI gear. Elektron's Overbridge is also fully functional in the Digitakt, for an even smoother experience interfacing the Digitakt with computers and other gear.

Elektron Analog Heat on Sine Waves (Melody and Bass) - How does it sound?

Published on Mar 15, 2017 umonox

"In my second Tryout of the Elektron Analog Heat i wanna find out how it sounds on pure Sine Waves. For this i've used a free Software Synthesizer called "Helm", set it to produce a single Single Sine Wave - and let the Heat do the rest ;-)

I start with a Melody and move over to a Bass Sound. I highly recommend Headphones for this one - especially for the Bass Part.

Hope you like it. And if so, dont forget to leave a like and a comment if you want. And also dont forget to subscribe - for more :)

umoTalk #01: Elektron Digitakt - Is it the Machine you want?

Published on Mar 24, 2017 umonox

"Hello everyone. I thought i should start talking a little bit about gear and stuff as well :-) So i am proud to introduce you to a new "format" on my Channel - the umoTalk - where i will do exactly this in the future. In my first Video in this category its about the Elektron Digitakt and whether you might need it - or not.

Im trying to give you some ideas for the Usage of the Digitakt from the perspective of someone who:

1. Does own Elektron Machines already ( 3:00 )
2. Does NOT own Elektron Machines - or even Hardware in general - yet ( 10:41 )

Those are my personal thoughts on it right now. It isnt released yet, so things may change when it's out. I will update this Video if the need arises.

Ok ... sit back, take a Snack and enjoy! And if you like this Video, dont forget to leave a like - and Subscribe if you dont wanna miss whats coming next ;-)

How I Made My Digitakt Set

Elektron Digitakt - hands-on

Published on May 31, 2017 Future Music Magazine

"Simon Arblaster and Si Truss take the Elektron Digitakt for an early spin and check out some of the features of the latest sampling drum machine to come out of Gothenburg.

Elektron were kind enough to send us a unit prior to the shipping launch date, but as such, we were unable to take a look at Digitakt with the latest version of Overbridge, or the file management app, Elektron Transfer."

BURG - severance (digitakt, analog four, modular, KORG ms-20, volca, blofeld)

Published on Oct 30, 2017 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

This is my first proper recorded jam using the Elektron digitakt. It is handling kickdrum, snare, reverse hh and the LOW bass + also sequencing the waldorf blofeld over MIDI.

Also introducing the Noise Engineering BIA, doing some percussion sequenced by the BSP.

This track was a bit of a struggle, trying to get so many new elements into place.. especially the digitakt, so I decided to take it slow and just do some minor things, and it feels like it went well.

The modular has a pretty complex patch, braids does the intro melody (FOLD), rings does some heavily modulated melodies, BIA does percussion and the morphagene does an extremely chopped up vocal sample + string pattern (layered) as a percussive thingy.... patched it through VCA, + maths controlling CV, and sequenced by the BSP .. good fun. :)

ms-20 does a one VCO lead sound + the el capistan delay, analog four adds some percussive sequencing, stabs + that it sequences the 0 coast over CV.

nord lead A1, stacked strings using the swell pedal to pull in some subtle fifths strings, VCF modulated by internal LFO's for some movements.

volca bass and keys, well, they do their stuff :)

Gear used: ms-20 mini, volca bass, keys, elektron digitakt, analog four, roland tr-8, yamaha reface CP, nord lead A1, waldorf blofeld, makenoise 0-coast

Modular rack: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/v...

FX, ms-70 CDR on volca keys and bass, el capistan on ms-20, bluesky, particle and CSIDMAN on reface, timeline and eventide on blofeld, EQD transmisser, space spiral, keeley caverns, RE_20 on modular.

hope you will enjoy it!

Analogue & digital jam with Moog Matriarch and Elektron Digitakt

Jay Hosking

"The Matriarch and Digitakt couldn't be much different — a sprawling analogue synth and a compact digital sampler — but I found that their strengths were really complementary. Here, the Digitakt sequences the Matriarch, and is also taking advantage of the Reel Feels sample pack by @Jogging House, which you should definitely check out. Get it here: https://jogginghouse.bandcamp.com/alb...

Altogether, this came out more lovely and lo-fi than I could have hoped.

Moog Matriarch + Empress Effects Reverb — Four synth voices
Elektron Digitakt — Five sample tracks (four melodic samples, plus a multi-sampled drum track)

Written and recorded in a 48-hour period and uploaded as is, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master."

Digitakt Machines // OS 1.50 Upgrade

video upload by Elektron

"Machines. The Digitakt way.

As found in Octatrack, Model:Cycles or Syntakt, the concept of Machines has now also reached Digitakt.

There are now several new ways to play back your sweet samples. This new OS 1.50 Upgrade brings four different Machines, all with their own different flavor. Repitch for automatic classic beat-matching, Werp for a little quirky old-school way of time warping, and Slice - to chop up your audio and placing the pieces back in any order you like. And finally Oneshot, your default Machine for playing your sample forward, backward or looped. Again, again, and again.

To top things up we also added a new way to record your samples. You can now set a fixed number of steps for your recording. And, Sample Rate Reduction that can be inserted before or after the filter. Just as gritty as you like it to be.

Go find out more and download this new tasty OS 1.50 Upgrade here: https://bit.ly/3IFttuq"

Digitakt OS 1.50 Upgrade Overview


"As found in Octatrack, Model:Cycles or Syntakt, the concept of Machines has now also reached Digitakt. In this tutorial, we explore the four Machines - Oneshot, Werp, Repitch, and Slice - that come with the OS 1.50 Upgrade.

We also cover some creative tools that allow you to push Digitakt’s sequencer and samples further. For example, using Trigless Trigs to parameter lock values without re-triggering samples, using random locks in Slice to get new rhythmic ideas, or using Werp to really pull apart samples and turn them into completely new elements."
