There goes my plans for the weekend
Just got the digitakt ii in the post today, and wanted to throw out there: I confirmed that you can perform manual slices from one shot samples on the new digi!
Here’s the method:
1. Make sure your sample is matched to your bpm if the timing is important (using this method 😉)
2. Make chops by setting start/endpoints on your one shot. When you like a chop, save it to as a new preset.
3. Load all of your chops to the preset pool for your pattern.
4. Set trig mode to Preset Pool, and voila: you can play the chops! Press record and play simultaneously, and you can record them into your track.
There’s obviously drawbacks and it doesn’t replace a (hopefully one day forthcoming) slice machine, but it is tenfold better than copy and pasting plocks. If you decide to change your tempo later, you can resample the audio of the sequence you record at the chop tempo, and then stretch that sample.
Hope others find this useful! Let me know if you can improve upon this!
I've seen this explained a half dozen times and this is the first time I got it...
That’s what gives me the gusto to keep going! Thanks
@@EZBOT_ OMG never stop. Your stuff is hugely helpful!
Really helpful tip, thank you.
Amazing tip will try tomorrow morning!
Hey thank you for this explainer, really good and to the point! ❤
Always come back to this tutorial as I forget, thank you.
Wow you really did master the beast! Thanks so much for those tips!!!
Great tutorial
Thanks for sharing. Would be awesome to see more creative ways you are using the Digitakt to make D&B!
Thanks for the idea!
You, my friend, have a new subscriber. Your ability to make the Digitakt so approachable is amazing and very rare to find on UA-cam.
Thank you 🙏
Great video, thanks for the knowledge!
Thanks! Are you the synth stand makers?
Yup!@@EZBOT_
thx 4 the video 💪🏽
Thanks @EZBOT
No LaCroix today! I guess that's for livestreams. Thank for your the tute, it's helped me seat a loop perfectly that I was having trouble with. I wonder what it is about the Repitch algo that fits a loop into a Digitakt seqience better than 1-shot set to loop 🤔 Perhaps because Repitch 'expects' a loop that matches its Bar settings..
Cool tip!
Thanks!
Great!!!
Magician !
I knew there was a way to jungled the amen break without Ableton!
🤘
Great tut! How did you know tho that the loop is 4 bars long?
❤❤❤
Could you show this using the octatrak I’m on the fence to what to buy either the digitakt or the octatrak I already have an Mpc live mk2 and the sp404 so want to go as dawless with more experimental but most octatrak videos stem from mocking more techno would be nice to see others genres explored
This is great, Ty! I’m able to repitch/ retempo the break but I’ve watched this several times and am still confused by what you show around 3:50, when you press a few of the individual numbered trigger buttons to play some of the separate slices. When I hit the numbered buttons , I don’t get individual slices- hitting the the button just jumps me to that (empty) track. What do I need to do to manually sound the individual slices the way you demo’d?
Press func + trk to access chromatic mode and you will be able to play the slices
lmao @ 2:42 😂
Bon Jovi for the win!
Welp, that's stuck in my head for the next week or so
This is all dependant on the sample having the correct length with no padding (or other bits of the song) on the end. This is the biggest issue that I encounter when working with unprocessed breaks which needs a computer as there's no quick way of trimming a sample on the DT (shakes fist).
Resampling is an option but you still need to eyeball the endpoint and futz around with the pitch to get it to sit right. The slicing features are awesome (don't get me wrong) but I feel like they went about 90% of the way.
That is true but most drum loops are quantized to 1-4 bars, so this is typically a non-issue imo. I do agree with you though, they could have made slicing much better than it is
@@EZBOT_ also ping pong looping please 😀haha
this is my only complaint about the Digitakt. being able to trim start or end for a sample without resampling would be great. and resampling workflow is real painful with longer loops
i like the beard btw
Thank you!
okay one thing that came up for me was, after i resampled everything i was unable to change the tempo with out the sample slices getting out of time. any idea how to fix this?
you have to resample it again if you want a BPM change while in the repitch machine
Smarty !!! 🤪 but 👌👌
Jah bless
Incredible video thanks, that's not he Amen break though...
It was at one point haha
So you can only do this if you have an octatrack in addition to the digitakt?
Octatrack was just my MIDI clock, it does nothing here
Very nice. On your set up is that three digitakts how do you use them?
1 Digitakt, 1 Digitone, and a Syntakt. I use DT for drums and the other 2 for bass and melody.
@@EZBOT_ nice, what about the Octa?
@@digitors performance mixer :)
Hey EZBOT what are those headphones?
BD DT 770 Studio
@@EZBOT_thank you!
why are you saying amen like that
For comments of course!
