Good stuff Dave, really enjoying your Digitakt videos. I’ve had it since launch and it’s great to watch other people do what they do with it. Thanks for these.
I was just about to make a tutorial along these lines. Great job! I think it's tricks like this that make me wince when people hassle Elektron to make a new machine drum, like have you USED a digitakt? That thing is fantastic for designing drums. This same fast LFO technique can also be used to make ring-modulated sounds when you apply it to sample level and you get an even wider range of FM from the filter frequency because that parameter isn't limited to the 4 octave range of the tune parameter. Cheers!
Cheers, Yeah that's nice as well. It's amplitude modulation. Sounds great certainly :) filter modulation is always fun as well! Digitakt is indeed an epic device. Love it. Thanks for watching Robert :)
Learning something new again... inspirational. How did you have the beat tracks on 4-4 and the synth track on 5-16? UPDATE: Found it... thanks again for the great ideas 😎
you should be using a square wave and doing the exact same thing but you don't need your lfo cycling so fast 32xBPM is fine, adjust the start, end and loop points to acheive whats known as a "Super Square" I think. Then you can copy to another track detune ever so slightly and trigger in unison, you will like this thing alot but a sine wave will not give you proper results with your otherwise perfect method. good videos thanks... crazy sounding stuff, courtesy loopop youtube video "Advanced Digitakt Tips and Tricks"
The best tutorials on Digotakt! Very informative. If I just have a little comment: Please don't gesture so much with your hands in front of the camera. In such close shots it is very distracting and does not add anything. I know, it is sort of a trend amongst reviewers and propably supposes to add excitement and dynamics, but it is just annoying. Please, don't be angry with me but I just wanted to point this out. Cheers!
Cheers piotr! The hands... Yeah that's really not something I do intentionally. I talk with my hands in everyday life as well. It's just how things go. :)
That’s really simple actually. 1. Boot up Digitone while holding func 2. Open your browser and go to your favorite synth store 3. Buy a sampler 4. Connect sampler to Digitone’s inputs 5. Reboot Digitone
one day you will be featured on drum code. what did you do to the kick? sounds super rich and has this tail, that sounds really good. care to share the secret low end design?
Haha that's a big compliment, thank you. Working hard to get places, let's hope it works out. From the top of my head this kick is a simple 909 kick with a hint of pitch modulation added. It's also the combination with the bass that makes it sound as it is. It's from another groove that I actually use in my live-set. I plan on doing multi hour in depth videos about sound design and groove creation through something like patreon. Keep an eye on the channel :)
Not sure if dave has a video on the topic, but you can add bass to your kick by using a resonant hi-pass (not a typo) filter on the kick sample to accentuate the fundamental and you can add a super short envelope to the filter if you want to emphasize the transient.
I released a video course for Digitakt! Buy here: davemech.live/store
every time I think I have the DT figured out you blow my mind with another avenue to explore. It does FM?! awesome vid.
Cheers Steve! Great to hear this :)

Great video, lfo’s are such fun

Thanks Dave! Again a great video and well appreciated !!
Cool tips! I recently acquired a digitakt and I will definitely be using this technique, thanks!
Happy to share !
Very informative and explicit video - thank you 👍🏿
Cheers Keith!
Great vid and tips as always Dave. 👍🏼
Excellent love-it!!! 😊
I love this so much! Thank you for uploading, dude!
Cheers Kris!
pfff ongeloofelijk wat leer ik van je ...top man
Fijn on te horen man :) Komt meer spul aan
It would be cool to see some of that older tutorials with the "new patch" 2 LFOs enabled
Dank u Dave zeer handige tip iets om na het werk mee te experimenteren :)
Graag gedaan:)
Just learned something! Thx Dave 👍
En weer een stukje dieper, nice one
Jesus. Wow. Digitakt is on the way already and Im gonna revisit your chanel fo sho. Thanks.
Glad you like the vidios! :) let me know if you have any other topics I could focus on. I might create a video of it.
Thanks, Dave! 😀 👊
Cheers! :)
I really dig your stuff but this one really blew my mind in several ways. Big up! 🙏
Awesome thank you :)
Great video. Got me thinking to use the midi trick to then use another LFO on the amp decay etc.
David, fun stuff 🤙
thanks for the video and info!
nice find!
Thanks for everything.
Very welcome!
A+ video
As always, good tips!
Owww Tasty must try it. It would be great if they gave us a BP filter update ;) That Kick really suits you ! :
real 'planetary assault systems' vibe to this. rip the cut ...
Great tip! Guess nobody will see this now in 2022, but - with the 2nd LFO, can you modulate the destination of the first one?
Yes you can! :)
@@Davemech 🙏 thanks!
Think I need to delete all my samples and start again ... great vid as always 😎

How did you have the beat tracks on 4-4 and the synth track on 5-16?

super
good
Would be nice to know your thoughts on the 1010 music blackbox
cool
Sweeeet!

And then you'd get a bunch of people saying how you should gesture more with your hands... You can't please everyone. :/
question from a newbie ..digitakt from new? can i play straight away or do i have to add sounds? sorry to sound stupid
It comes with factory samples so you can play straight away :)
How do you keep your Digitakt so clean?
You mean the hardware itself ? It's in my flight case most of the time and once in a while I clean it with a dry cloth.
Nice, now show us how to sample on the Digitone :)
That’s really simple actually.
1. Boot up Digitone while holding func
2. Open your browser and go to your favorite synth store
3. Buy a sampler
4. Connect sampler to Digitone’s inputs
5. Reboot Digitone
@@Davemech nailed it :)
video about a 3 OP FM with the new update?
Sounds like a plan :)
one day you will be featured on drum code.

an SR-16 can't do FM synthesis
