Dreadbox Murmux v3 Patching

video upload by Phase of the Day

"The start of the vid is my first patch. Using the filter as a sine osc, Fm'ed by noise and the delay set to max for extra lofi. Rest of the vid is just knob twiddling :)

Audio recorded on Audacity using the Elektron Digitakt as my audio interface."

Dreadbox Murmux V3 8 More Patches

video upload by Phase of the Day

"8 more patches on the Dreadbox Murmux V3. A few of these are in unison mode. The first patch was doing something interesting when detuning the Osc's whilst FM'ing the filter with Osc two. The second patch was my, will it Boards of Canada test :)

Recorded using the Elektron Digitakt."

Ableton Push 3 Is EZBOT's Synthesizer

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's video, we use the Ableton Push 3 as a synthesizer to be sampled in the Elektron Digitakt 2. We will take advantage of the stereo sampling on the Digitakt and the MPE synthesizers on the Push 3 to make some chill house music."

Elektron Digitakt II + Syntakt + Octatrack + Analog Heat+FX + Modular Synth Techno Jam

video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"With the new Digitakt II, Octatrack, Syntakt, Analogue Heat+FX and a small modular synth rack for extra spice, we've assembled a powerful Elektron performance rig. This configuration demonstrates the Digitakt II and Octatrack's sampling capabilities and how well they work together. With 12 tracks of digital and analogue machinery, the Syntakt is just as capable of producing rocking beats and synth work. Not to be overlooked is the Analogue Heat + FX, the sonic processing palette that glues everything together. This is a live, improvisational jam that was captured in one take without any additional post-production or processing.

Set-up details:
Octatrack: master clock, mixer, resampling and providing some performance effects for the Syntakt and modular synth.
Digitak II: main drums and rhythmic loops.
Syntakt: additional percussion and minimal synth sounds.
Modular Synth: percussive bleeps and atonal sounds from voices LIP and SY0.5.
Analog Heat +FX: end of chain audio processing. Also some filtering and reverb effects.

Audio Routing:
Modular synth into external input on Syntakt
Digitakt II and Syntakt running into the Octatrack.
Octatrack output (stereo) into Analog Heat +FX.

MIDI Routing and Sequencing:
Octatrack is the master clock, sending MIDI clock to all other boxes. Internal sequencers on each box are in use, no external sequencing."

Elektron Digitakt II and SOMA Lyra-8 explorations

video upload by Bobo Meijer

"Some exploration with the Lyra-8 pairs with the Digitakt II for all kinds of weird sounds. It is very easy to get lost in the Lyra and it really takes some time to understand what it is doing. I really like it so far but it’s also very hard to make something with it on the fly.. needs time ☺️"

Bad Gear - He might be BIASED

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are these unfounded rumors that this show is not actually about Bad Gear, that I just pick random stuff I want to make music with and let clueless online trolls do their magic.

This is - of course - a steaming pile of horse dung and I just recently failed to find enough hate on, for example, the Access Virus B, Novation Drumstation and Dreadbox Typhon.

However, today we are going to talk about Digitakt II and as this particular unit was sent over by Elektron as a long term loan even they must be aware of the fact that late 80s polyphony, partial physics workflow and a lack of essential hipster features make for some juicy online controversy.

Elektron Digitakt II: 3 New Features We're Loving - Comb Filter, Stretch Machine and Performance Kit

video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Elektron Digitakt II is here and its only been a hot minute since we received this powerful little groovebox sampler. Elektron have managed to pack a stack of great new features that we are making our way through and having too much fun with. In this video we go through 3 new features that have piqued our interest in the short time we've had it.

1. Comb Filter — Elektron have added more filters in the way of FLTR Machines, where one chooses the type of filter they want per track. There are 5 to choose from with the Comb filter sounding amazing and a first for an Elektron box. Comb filter can twist the timbre and transform any sound into something totally new, foreign, or alien like. Throw any sound through the Comb filter and you'll have fun seeing and hearing how far you can take it. Great for sound designers wanting metallic type sounds with rich resonant overtones.

FLTR Machines have 5 different filter types to choose from; Multi-Mode, where you can morph from Lowpass to Bandpass to Highpass filter. EQ, is a parametric equalizer for some precision filtering. Lowpass 4 is a 4-pole lowpass filter with a 24 dB slope for that extra bite. Legacy is the filter from the original Digitakt switchable between lowpass and highpass. The Comb filter has that metallic sound, pitch tuned and crazy resonant overtones as demonstrated in this video.

Similarly on other Elektron boxes, one chooses a 'machine' that relates to the type of synth engine you assign per track. Although here Elektron have adopted that method for different filters. This is a smart way to manage a number of new filters and parameters specific to those filters.

2. Stretch Machine — Elektron have added a new sample playback engine, Stretch machine that allows samples and loops to automatically stretch to the tempo of your pattern/project. It's a granular engine that works extremely well and a feature many Digitakt users have been craving!

3. Performance Kit Mode — here you can make changes to the parameters of a saved kit over several patterns and then smoothly recall the kit and continue jamming. Think of it as an 'undo' function for your sounds and kits. The Digitakt II can also save 1024 kits, so there plenty of flexibility to tweak your kits whilst performing and not be worried about losing the great kits you've created.

There's way more to explore on the new Digitakt II such as 3x LFOs, 128 steps per pattern, the assignable Control All Config, 4x Trig Modes, Euclidean Sequencer and much more. And did someone mention the audio fidelity, outstanding! We'll have more on the Digitakt II real soon.

New Elektron Digitakt II: Unboxing and First Play with the Stereo Sampler and Drum Machine

video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Elektron's new Digitakt II is here! One of Elektron's most successful drum machine samplers has grown up with a plethora of new features beat makers are going to love. Most notably the Digitakt II is a 16 track, stereo sampler with 16 MIDI tracks, 128 step sequencer, 20GB of storage, 400MB RAM with access to 1024 samples per projects. In this video we unbox the new Digitakt II and have our first play with this sampling powerhouse. All the sounds on this video are purely from the Digitakt II, no additional processing or external sound sources were used.

The Digitakt has gained almost cult like following since its release in 2017. Beat makers across the spectrum of electronic dance music have loved how immediate the original Digitakt was at sampling and performing especially with that legendary parameter locking Elektron sequencer, all in a neat little package. The original Digitakt truly fulfilled its potential to the max.

Elektron have listened and designed the new Digitakt II in a familiar shape, with all the same recognizable playfulness, but now offering so much more than before. Original Digitakt users will salivate over the new Digitakt II features with more machines, more LFOs, more filters, more effects, more everything! The new features on the Digitakt II makes it more of a groovebox; a potent addition to your studio and for performing live with.

Here's what Elektron are saying:
Send yourself to another sampling dimension. With Digitakt II, you can weave splinters of sound in stereo, ripped from the moment and brought to your fingertips for marvelous audio manipulation and beat arraying. Preserve or distort reality as you so desire with 16 tracks ready for stereo or mono samples, or MIDI. Choose from several swappable filters for each track and utilize a wide assortment of effects and modulation, pull on enhanced processing power, and enough memory for a lifetime of samples. Further tasty features like a Euclidean sequence generator, an extended 128 step sequencer, kits, trig modes, an extensive sample library, and a modular workflow to play with ensure your sonic-montage sculpting potential will know no beat-making bounds."
