Hey! I’m Jannis, and thanks so much for dropping by my UA-cam channel! Here, I share lots of content about music production and performance-like making cool synth sounds, creating setups for live performance, rhythm and composition concepts, and electronic drumming. As a jazz drummer, I love exploring how drumming can be integrated into electronic music styles.
I primarily use Ableton Live, so many videos focus on DAW techniques. But I also regularly post about hardware instruments like the Nord Drum, Syntakt, and Perfourmer. This channel is all about encouraging you to explore your gear and be creative with it, rather than just sharing 400 synth reviews.
So if that sounds cool to you, you’re warmly invited to subscribe-it’s free! I’d love to see you around in some of my videos!

Absolutely brilliant thank you!
Thank you
Very cool!
Great video, I just so happened to be trying to sequence a Nord Drum 3p with Ableton when I found this! What a revelation
😎👍🏻 Very cool. Thank you.
Thank you Jannis, mistake No.3 is my main struggle. Having a young family with two kids is challenge enough, so "time for making music, exploring my synths" is my greatest struggle. But instead of using the few hours per week exploring my really nice synths (Hydrasynth, Iridium, TEO-5 plus my main VST Pigments) I am hanging around in you tube channels, getting hooked by "synth tests and advisers" and then ordering/trying out new gear... :-( -...cursed....
Very nice video's you make. You explain everything and make nice tracks I can practice. Love your work!
Thank you so much for the warm words 💚
Thank you so much <3
Glad it was helpful!
@@JannisLeWolff definitely this was soooo helpful 🙏🏻
thank you for your demo!
Glad you liked it!
It's a great synth... I have been tempted for some time... I don't think I will resist much longer :-). Thanks for the video. Very nice. Keep them coming!
Thank you! 💚
I am curious about your amp speaker setup for live playing. Are you using a PA?
Hey! Actually I'm mostly using headphones. If I play live I often play with a PA, though.
Hi i have problem to use nord drum 3p with bitwig….😢 can u help me?😊
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad to hear 😊
Alguém pra doar um desse?
your videos are absolutely brilliant. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for the warm words 💚 So glad to hear you like my videos!
👌
hi, just got mine today... is it normal that when I start it up, the top red light flashes every 2 seconds and just click sounds are coming out of the headphone jack? I cannot find anything anywhere about this.... so wondering if unit is dead or it's normal?
This is so hard to follow, If I were a PhD student I'd write my dissertation on the phenomenon you see in countless videos like this. You babble about 70x more than you show what you're actually doing, AND when you show what you do it's glossed over and as understated as possible
Thanks ! Amazing tutorial
Since the Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 came out, I feel like the Syntakt was quickly left behind and never got its moment to really shine. I appreciate you keeping up with it, you are really pushing its limits in creative ways and it has been super inspiring!! Thank you!
Thanks 💚 I don't know- I just think it's a pretty awesome instrument and deserves attention :) really glad you like my videos!!
I love the machine too! Really hoping they release several updates before rumors of a Syntakt II hit the market
@ I'd honestly be surprised if they release a 2 anytime soon since this came out in 2022, but who knows! I just hope they at least give it a few more updates before they put it aside. It feels pretty outshined by the DN2 right now.
@@teemunnee agree, just saw a vid where they compare them and seems the DN2 came on top… yet I freaking love SY ease of use and those analog tracks!!
@ right there with you! I'm more interested in a DN1 if anything, but I love the Syntakt for what it is.
Yes! Done it! Had to do it in 2 times (...), but it works! Thanks Jannis!
Superb video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it, thanks 😊
Really interesting, I didn't expect that the Nord drum could be used for dark ambient music, industrial. Very inspiring, I really like these sounds. The Nord drum can be used in almost all music genres.
Yes! The sonic possibilities are huge. Especially if you use velocity for bringing dynamic movement to patterns and rhythms. Thanks for the nice comment 😊
Your absolutely welcome great to meet you love your channel 😊
So helpful. Thank you!
Happy to hear, thx for the comment 😊
Super helpful and inspiring!
So great to hear, thank you 😊
Love your videos Jannis great sound design I incorporated a few of these techniques in my recent live set on both Syntakt & Digitakt. I did a recreation of my hour long set on my channel,be great if you could check it out sometime. 😊🕺🏻
Thank you, so good to hear you were using some of these techniques already 😊 and thanks for sharing your music!

super helpful! thank you so much Jannis!!
Great to hear, thank you 😊
This video is really helpful! It seems the instrument is niche which may explain the low view count but I'm grateful for your work on this because it inspired me to consider the 3p as a priority purchase. It is perfect for the way I work.
So great to hear, thank you 😊 and yes, I think it offers great value, even if you don’t drum so much.
I did not see this coming from the nord drum 3p. Expanded my mind!!
Great to hear 😊 thank you!
19:00 my workaround about arpeggios is to record note repeat and manually move notes up and down.
Another excellent video, thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you 😊 really glad you liked it!!
I am playing acoustic instruments at my solo gigs and currently have a kick and tambourine to add some percussion. I am thinking about adding a synth and sequencer in the mix so I can record stuff for the verse, chorus and bridge of songs. I understand that the Elektron Syntakt has a very good sequencer and a song mode. Would it be possible to trigger each section in song mode with a midi controller (I am thinking of a midi foot controller so I can play guitar and sing at the same time).
I don’t know about midi controlling the song mode. I didn’t find a way to map the record button for example, and I imagine it doesn’t work for the song mode either. But I would need to check this! As far as I know mapping works mostly for the sound, less for the controls and commands. Would love to control these, too!!
@JannisLeWolff that's a bit unfortunate. Hopefully it will come in a firmware update
@@JannisLeWolff I read the manual and in section section 7.12 it says "MIDI program change messages 0-127 will select pattern 1-128 (A01-H16) on the Syntakt." So it seems you can switch to sequencer patterns by sending MIDI program changes! Those could be mapped to a MIDI foot controller to switch to a verse/chorus/bridge pattern. The only thing that the manual doesn't say is if the sequencer waits till a pattern finishes it's steps till it goes the next pattern that was selected with a MIDI program change. Would be nice if it does, then it would be very useful!
Someone told me the lowest midi octave can trigger the different tracks, with some Elektron devices but they themself never tried it.
Yes it works! Someone also commented here and I tried it myself :)
Does this work with Live Light?
Trying this device in Ableton 12 and cannot get any midi output no matter what notes I input....🤨
Hey, thanks for letting me know! I'll look into it!
@@JannisLeWolff I have been experimenting with the device and now find I CAN get midi output if I ungroup, and then regroup, the whole device. The macros then also work. However, the scale select doesn't work.
I loooved this tutorial man!… thx so much
So glad to hear, thank you 😊
@JannisLeWolff a question... Have you got a full performance using this device? Just for inspiration 😊
@@alexfr811 No, I actually recorded a few minutes of me making sounds and picked my favorite parts for the little intro :)
Jannis! Your video's are great! I'm also a drummer, and i use the Perfourmer. Your video's are very inspirating AND educational. It's not about buying more synths but get the most and beautiful sounds out of them. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for the warm words 💚 that's exactly what I hope I can share with my videos 🥹
Invaluable information! Thank you for showing and sharing your workflow with us!!!
So glad to hear 💚 thanks for sharing!
This is a great video and deserves a new version without the sound of the stick hitting the pad.
I know 😂 might make one next year. It's always difficult to make a new video about the same topic more visible than the old one, because the old one already has a solid view count and data. But I'd also love to redo it, let's see :)
Omg the telephone thing is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
