Thanks!
Does the Minilogue have its own sequencer? How would you be able to Midi Sync so then the sequencer would run on the Minilogue and still be able to change the parameters?
It does, you can activate transport send and MIDI clock on the Digitakt and it syncs up.
@@optoproductions Thanks! Another question. If want to just midi sync another piece of gear and not change parameters. Do I still need to make track a midi channel? I have a Korg ESX-1 sampler that I just want to sync up and play when I hit play on the Digitakt II. I changed the midi settings in the Digitakt to send Midi clock out and the korg to clock external, but nothing happens when I hit play
Great channel man 👍🏼 I’ll keep watching 😂
Thank you so much! Question, i'm noticing there's latency on the midi recorded on the new track, that's not aligned with the grid. Is it normal or is there something wrong? thanks!!
That's possible, you have to compensate for this manually, since Logic can't figure out what's going on outside of the application.
One of the detailed and easy comprehensible explanations about audio compression I've seen.💯 Well done man - thank you indeed.
0:24 the new synth engines are available only on the BD, SD and the RS-CP voices. A quite limiting concept. Most music has BD and SD, so those cannot be sacrificed. RS and CP share a single voice so this means having a bass line means not having both a rimshot and a clap.
Yeah I agree, it's a hardware limitation, a workaround is to use sound locks, I've got a video about it somewhere on my channel
Newbie here - I have an issue where recorded samples in a project disappear. WOuld you know if this is because a sample will get overwritten if you use the same sample name in a different project?
That could be the case since everything is recorded to the same folder regardless of the project.
@ thanks, it seems to be the case. It isn’t mentioned in the manual, at least as far as I can tell. Very difficult lesson to learn…
@ thanks, it seems to be the case. It isn’t mentioned in the manual, at least as far as I can tell. Very difficult lesson to learn…
@ oof sorry man, they definitely should put that in the manual.
This Elektron is the 1 that can get the most from, by learning, using & thinking in terms of 'Sound Locking' as a specialist feature of Elektron devices imo? I often have about 3 sounds locked per track in use programming Rytm patterns. Sound Locks are the best tip for flipping multiple patches within a track... But otherwise not using up your parameter & trig lock amount limits, for flipping sounds a lot in a sequence & track. My 2nd synth in the early 90's was a Korg Wavestation EX. Sound locking is the Elektron methodology of creating wavesequencing style results. Easy to spot & understand if like myself, one has skilled themselves in depth to program Korgs Wavestations & wavesequencing... But otherwise a bit overlooked as the real muscle flexing feature on Elektrons, via Sound locking. A4 & DN1 are very worthy Sound locking Elektrons too. Others still can do but don't need to to push the limits & pallet imo
It was not an issue, but was built aware. The issue was more that a lot of people did not read into how the latency functions work. And the latency button is another function to control it, but you still need to understand what/why you do things. This one explains it well: ua-cam.com/video/Ubl4wdgZP88/v-deo.html
How come you VU meters light up? Mine only light up when im recording
Mine are broken 😄
as i heard the accentt i knew the bass would be good
Haha 😅
Amazing, bravo !
MIL GRACIAS ME A FUNCIONADO PERFECTAMENTE
No stereosampling?! I thought that was the point with DT2
It only samples in stereo, so if you have a mono synth and plug it into one of the inputs the sample is panned hard left or right.
@ aha. Thank you for clarifying 👍⭐️
in my opinion,yes this is the best.
Life Saver
Have you also tested this with the AC/DC module from Befaco? What would be the advantages and disadvantages?
I haven't but the advantage is the increased resolution of audio rate signals over MIDI.
omg 😮
Did they use the same software in the hardware module? because it sound so different from the videos ive seen from the real thing.(bought it but it am a bit confused about the sound quality)
(dev here) It's essentially the same with a few very minor modifications due to differences in how knobs are handled in VCV. You can run VCV Oneiroi at higher sample rates than hardware, but shouldn't need to!
@EwanHemingway ah ok i run at 96 khz but its messing with changes in decay for example of the reverb it sounds steppy(no sync) great module btw
I agree with @pennywise5095 on sound quality when the sample rate is set to default 48 khz. It is much less muddy at 96 Khz.
0:36 Come to Daddy
When using the Midi Map module and adjusting a fader/knob on my controller, VCV doesn't detect anything.
Does it work with other software? What controller are you using?
Thx. But Jitter still exists. And if you take it realy serious, you have to realise that you can not Measere Latency realy, cause the Midi-and Audio-Jitter (or Drift if you wanna call). But to do your Work at best and relaxing. Back in the Days whe couldnt even adress a Problem. And i think every Machine, Synths PCs HD Recorder or even a Tape-Machine has a kind of Jitter, right? (hmmm, that statement calmed me, i wanna do some Music now!! Let us do MORE MUSIC THX Opto..
I'm a beginner, I used this patch and I like it. But I would like to understand now how to work on the gate from my midi? so I can play whenever I want without having a loop. Thanks in advance :)
You can use the MIDI to CV module for that, just connect the gate in that case.
@@optoproductions I tried to use a MIDI CV but I don't know where to connect it because I already connected the LFO to the ADSR gate
@@lillo1696 that's right you're replacing the LFO with the MIDI to CV. The LFO is there to provide a rhythm in case you've got no MIDI input.
@ Thank you so much for the answer but I still don't understand. I followed the tutorial to create a kick and I liked it, but how can I now use the midi module to play whenever I want? without the signal being a loop
I solved it, I'm a beginner and I was confused by too much information. Thank you so much for what you do :))
It’s an awesome module. Love it. Didn’t realise it could record itself. More fun things to try
This is the video I've been looking for, thank you
how many seconds is the maximum duration of one sample ? is 8 bar long is that right ?
66 sec
Great demo 👍🏻
Do you use external instrument for your MIDI track? When I record with delay compensation ON (with reduced latency on or off doesn't matter) my recordings print almost half a second EARLY but I can monitor MIDI send without latency. When delay compensation is OFF, Keep Latency OFF behaves as you show it in this video, but monitoring my synths has audible latency which makes it harder to record in the context of a song. Am I missing something? I want to be able to use delay compensation both to monitor without latency and adjust track delay to make up for the 3-4ms of MIDI latency AND have recordings print without latency. I seem to have to choose whether I monitor without latency and get early printed recordings somehow (delay compensation on) or monitor with latency and print (almost) latency free recordings (delay compensation off). Hope this made sense, thanks.
I used a regular MIDI track in this case. Try it in an empty project with no plugins, and send some 16th notes to a synth with a short sound. Compare with monitoring set to OFF and AUTO. Also test the difference between midi and external instrument. It seems to behave differently on different machines so you really need to do a bit of testing to get it right. Latency compensation needs to be ON at all times.
@@optoproductions Ok thank you! I figured out you can't have any plugins on the empty MIDI track to be able to see the MIDI to options. I'm able to send MIDI to the synth without external instrument now. However, are you monitoring your synth through the Audio track it's routed to? I can get it to consistently print latency free recordings now, but the monitoring still has latency dependent on buffer size, project latency, etc. I can direct monitor with my UA Apollo and turn the audio track off, but what if I want to monitor the audio track without latency (to hear FX and context in a session)? Is that possible too? Having reduced latency when monitoring on or off doesn't seem to influence my monitoring latency
doctor who ahh noise
😄
You wouldn't happen to have a video like this but on the Behringer Crave would you?
Nope 🫣
@optoproductions no worries. I just like youe style and way of presenting easy to follow. Keep up the good work
thx very much. Perfectly explained.
Thank you
Hi, could you please tell me the year of manufacture? I never saw an all black Iron with yellow meters. Thank you so much
This is a v1, the original model, probably from 2008.
@@optoproductions thank you!
Akai mpc and force are so much better for sampling my modular. Sampling to individual samples is much faster and than you can easily play each of slices melodicaly or use them in sequence, easy 4 press blind operation to get useful one shots, basses, leads, chords.. if you need happy accidents you can close your eyes and monkey bash the pads while recording, works like a charm.
Greetings, I have a quick question about the amp trigger. I was able to trigger the filter successfully from my daw but I can't get the amp trigger to work. Should the filter and amp be on the same midi channel? I tried that but set the amp to use a different midi note but I only hear the filter working. Any ideas? I'm on a Nord lead 1 rack btw. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't have mine connected so couldn't test it earlier, but the filter and amplifier trigger can be changed for each voice separately. So make sure you're on the same voice. Also make sure you're still sending a MIDI note the regular way. I usually put the trigger on a different channel, but you should be able to do it with the same channel as well, the only thing that might get in the way is the global midi channel, so you may need to change that to another channel.
Awesome module! BEST wishes 2 you for 2025. Keep up the good work. THANKS!
Thank you, best wishes! 😃
how does it work if you want it to work with other hardware because it has only a knob for tempo?
I always sync it to something else, a DAW, beatstep or drumcomputer, the tempo knob is bypassed in that case
@@optoproductions thank you just wanna know if its possible.
This thing should cost like the sp 404mk2
Hello there and friendly greetings! Great tutorial indeed! This module is my wet dream, the perfect drone machine! Thank you for sharing! 👍
great in depth reveiw many thanks
Hya thanks for your video, i have a question if you do not mind me asking, but what happens with that wavetable oscilator if you change the looper recording with sound on sound? And can you load in wavetables?
As soon as you finish recording the wavetable updates. Or after 5 seconds when the buffer is full. You can load in samples to the looper I believe, haven't tried that yet.
Lovely sound!
Mad af. 👍
Thank you so much
Thanks for the video! One question about Digitakt II functionality - if one were to record a midi sequence into the DII using the synth (or a midi keyboard for that matter) does it record pitch bend/mod wheel/aftertouch as CC as part of the sequence?
Hey, sorry for the late reply, I had to test it before replying, but unfortunately it doesn't record anything except Velocity.
Thank you, useful 🙂
Short and sweet video. To the point and showed off just enough. Thanks
Hey Melvin, thank you for your tutorial. It's unbelievable, what you can achieve live with a relative minimal patch and a MIDI controller. 💯 Well, you'Ve made my day - I'm encouraged to progress my work in making music with a modular system. ✌🏻👌🏻
Awesome great to hear that 😃
Ahhh this video was really cool!! Ive got a volca beats and td3mo...how can i get started making a live jam (that i can possibly save and record in abelton ot elsewhere) using both the bassline and the drum machine, maybe even layer vocals and melodies on top!
I would say just try it out, you'll figure it out along the way, and record your jams while learning, you might come across some gems. There's no right or wrong way really 😀
@@optoproductions ah I did not mean making the music itself, I was more keen to know about connecting/routing the devices, assuming I'd need to worry about a DAW, MIDI and patch cables etc
@@sanskargupta9794 I use MIDI to sync all my devices, USB and Sync are also useful, I can't tell you how to connect everything that's up to you 😃
