    It’s already cool as hell how easy it is to sample, but how this thing can still perform while it’s doing it is wild; on the program side it’s not impressive but from a functional perspective, that essential actions are still available to the performer is genius. Such an organic and simplified process for multi instrument jam, not having to bounce between a looper and the Digitakt is wonderful. Love this box. I think you’ve convinced me to get the BlackBox too, how well they work together is so nice, complex loopers are the same price as a used one anyway. I have to say, on an editing note, I watch this at 1.8x zoom.. especially the walkthrough parts are nice to have a tighter shot to see the screen and lock in a visual reference for later.

    Hi, that's a very interesting workflow, you have great feel and this is much more up my street than the typical EDM style Digitakt content. I'm particularly interested as a fellow bass/guitar player who recently got a DT2. Is it fair to say you could get a similar result by running the HX Stomp direct into the DT2 via USB, set the DT2 to sample a set number of bars, put a trig on 1, pan etc? But as you say at the end, what you lose is the immediacy of live looping. Reason I ask is I'm aiming at a similar end result but can't afford a BlackBox at the moment. Thanks!

    • @tjguardino
      @tjguardino 16 днів тому

    Good explanations. Although I don't own the device, I'm always curious about the limitations and workarounds on various devices. Nice to be forced into creativity to get past a limitation. Also, I guess it's good that you have the Blackbox, as you could slice samples there. I still wish on the BB they would make a few things easier with the slicing, like allowing to hide or disable unwanted slices or using the knobs to move slice points. Oh well, nothing is perfect.

      The keys are not velocity sensitive, but you can program the velocity on each trigger, this does the same. Btw, you can access the keyboard velocity mode on the Digitakt using function + arrows up and down, and then you can live record triggers using different velocities by going from lowest to highest from 1 to 16. That's how I live record different velocities, but honestly this method is genius; now I really want to get one of these small midi controllers. =)

    Seems to be really dropping in price. I have just bought one in UK for £200 $250 new. Looking forward to getting to grips with it. I have tried with ableton but my lack of music production knowledge means I’m out of my depth. Play a bit of bass guitar and just getting the Japanese instachord guitar.

    Since Digitakt is monophonic, if you param lock samples/sounds as streps on the same track, they will, in effect, be a choke group. Not so great for finger drumming, but for step sequencing it works.

    • @tjguardino
      @tjguardino 18 днів тому

      For sure!! I use that on my hats all the time when I’m sequencing :) It’s kind of an obscure use case that I’m using it for so it’s not a glaring issue I think

    this has me wondering if this was achievable on the mk1 digitakt because it was one of my only (small) gripes with the digitakt, i loved it but sometimes i wanted "nicer" pads to play on. i have a similar set up once i got a octatrack and by the looks of it the set up is a little easier the the DT2. great video mate, nicely done once again

      @tjguardino my comment was kinda irrelevant to ur vid wasnt it... its just i had ot but was annoyed with workflow and fx sound. dt2 fixes that but lacks so little to be do it all. elektron purposefuly cuts out features so they arent getting anymore of my money heh. i will just get two blackboxes

    Hello All, i thought about this combo and came to following question: The price of the Digitakt and the 1010 ist the same as for the octatrack. Should i buy the octatrack or has this combo advantage over it? Thanks for all ideas and best regards Daniel :)

    • @tjguardino

      Oof too many differences for me to note all at once but I think both are great options honestly. This combo gives you way more individual tracks but the Octatrack has awesome FX routing that this doesnt

    Awesome demo! Layout recommendation: mirror layout on 2 Xjams. Check out Nular's post in the "Share your pad layout!" thread on r/FingerDrumming, and also the XpressPads "Finger Drumming Demo Reel" video and his other videos with double pad / launchpad setups. I'm currently rocking 2 Xjams oriented vertically and positioned above an Xkey 37, with the left pad on each Xjam aligned with the F keys for maximal melodic phrasing options on each hand (working on leveling up to do stuff like in GLASYS's "Finger Twisters" video.)
