my last digitakt video ever (REAL)
in this video I get off my chest the last points I have to make about the digitakt. First, I show you how I like to set up the compressor and reverb for maximum punchiness - then I show how I sequence external synths and samplers with midi tracks, and how I resample those instruments and flip the loops into new material.
00:00 intro
01:06 infinite sidechained reverb
07:01 sequencing modular
11:11 sequencing sp404
14:21 sampling loops
23:50 setting up slice mode
26:56 slice mode = god mode
32:33 thesis
34:32 digtakt's limitations
36:20 unhinged outro beat
ps apologies for the cursing and fumbling around honestly I can't be bothered to do that much editing :)

    This is amazing. Thank you for that. I “still” have a Digitakt OG and love it. With this trick it makes it even better. I just wish there would be more LFOs :)

    Half works currently, maybe digitakt changed the lfo parameters. Sample stays same length when changing pitch but the playhead is glitchy and not playing along smoothly.

    You adding such extensive explanation to each of the tricks is appreciated. I'm very new to the lexicon of these boxes and detail is so much appreciated. Thanks for sharing and I'm saving to my shorter playlist of "Digitakt Quick Tips" though you cover several in a single show. 🍻 Edit: And I traded away my SP404MK2 to pick up the Digitakt II. I may pick another one up down the road but I'm currently pretty content with my Elektron stuff and a Modal synth.

    I don't see how this dials to vintage samplers. I have Akai S3200 and S1000, since 1990s. These samplers, while having unique sound, have also different bit depth of samples, and algos used for time stretching sound VERY different. Beat slice, yeah, that's fair but again, Digitakt, pre latest firmware, did not even have a proper time stretch (blows my mind).

    hey man, Can I ask you how you did your settings on the SP404? I tried before with other gear, also a keystep pro. but they all have the same issue that the first 4 pads are in order. then 4-5-6-7-8 are gone and then it goes to 9-10-11-12 but those play pad 4-5-6-7-8.

    Great video! That's so cool. I just got a Digitakt and I'm gonna try this out. What happens to a sample if you don't set all those parameters like you did? I guess it just goes out of time huh? I should know this stuff by now haha. Thanks for making this one!

    The snare rush you described that producers use in like jungle and idm was mainly from using trackers and daws. They didn't use much hardware to sequence drums back then. But yea, the digitakt can pull it off well now with slice mode. I often feel like elektron gear is similar to a tracker workflow

    an unsung hero of the digitakt 1.50 update is the transient reduction setting in the filter page. it has enabled so much more precise low end mixing for me (increasing kick punch or balancing sub harmonics) in combination with the 404 its hard to even pine after an octatrack anymore. the workflow is nuts

      @@simonyricools under the second filter page there's an option for sample rate reduction in the top right. I set it to post filter and experiment with the level of bit reduction. it starts sounding really 12 bit/crushed at 20 onwards, but everything before that just gives drums and samples a subtle lofi quality that lets them sit together nicer

    Your time stretch technique still the best and I feel it'll stay as history digitakt wise ^^ , it did have a massive influence on my workflow and my productions . The problem I have with the werp and repitch modes is that it throws your amp envelope to the trash somehow, with your technique the envelope has a massive influence on the end result especially if you play with the retrigger's divisions over your pattern ! Anyway ! Thank you :)
