After I realized the setting up for the midi channels on the Digitakt to control the Digitone channels should be done for every single pattern I use in a project, it works like a charm. Excellent tutorial Daniel!👏
THANK YOU!!!! I have a Digitone and Syntakt and I just bought a Keystep. So this is just what I wanted. Thanks again. Great video and very clear instructions.
@@SlowHaste I just bought myself a digitone to go with my digitakt. Looking forward to using them side by side. I've enjoyed what I've heard so far of your work with this setup. The elektron workflow is great for setting up organic sounding grooves. I just wish I had more time to use my synths and less time at work.
Nice video. In my config. Keystep>DT>ST I had also to put the Keystep into "thru" mode via the Arturia Midi software. Otherwise my Digitakt was also playing the same trig/notes as my Syntakt
Hey Daniel, Merry Xmas, I hope you've had a nice time. Got my Keystep 37 for Xmas and setup just the same using this wonderful video, if I could send a photo I would, great video, very clear and easy to follow.
Hey great video, I have a comparable setup just that I am sending Midi from the DT to the Keystep before I send the Midi Out back to the DT. This is because I want the clock of the DT in my Keystep to be able to use the Arpeggiator for playing melodies. In your setup you can't use the sequencer or you have to adjust the clock manually to the DT tempo right?
Thanks so much for this. Can you play all 4 patches of the Digitone polyphonically like this? And if I want to sample sounds and need the inputs from the Digitakt can this be done via inputs from the Digitone??? Thanks for any help...
Can you explain a similar setup with two DN, one DT, and an Octatrack. Audio into AB of OT from DT, audio into CD from two DN into OT.OT for clock. DT for DNs Midi.
I wonder if adding the new Syntakt to the setup and having 3 Elektron machines + an Arturia Keystep would allow this same kind of control of all the tracks (8 on DT + 4 on DN + 12 on ST) from the Keystep.
thanks I followed your vid and it helped. I have a similar setup except I use the keystep + mc-101 + digitakt. but I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't recording midi on the digitakt. Turns out to enter live recording mode you need to "Press and hold [RECORD] then press [PLAY]" (according to the manual). I was just pressing play first and then hitting record I couldn't figure out why it wasn't recording. the red on the record is supposed to blink not be constant.
@@SlowHaste heyyy couple questions for you if you find the time: 1. do you think it's a good idea to record vocals on digitakt? like verse, chorus, etc. 2. if I make a song with a synth in addition to the digitakt is there a way I can copy the sample in an easy way to the digitakt or must I always carry the synth alongside the digitakt to hear the song? like.. maybe there's a convert midi to samples button somewhere? :P
@@ShaiUI You can record any audio as a sample, but if you’re putting a whole vocal part on a pattern, it would take up a lot of storage space, so you likely wouldn’t be able to do it for multiple projects. The same answer kind of applies to your other question - you could record the synth as a separate sample track to re-sample. But otherwise it’s probably more efficient to sequence it with the Digitakt.
Hi Daniel. Thank you for the tutorial. This is very helpful. I have a couple of questions. 1. Do you need to keep templates on both machines for this setup? 2. If I use song mode in Digitakt does Digitone adhere to the song mode setup or do I need to manually copy the setup in Digitone?
Nice video to get started, but I hoped to see more information about the Digitone receiving program change messages. How to setup to make both machines changing patterns to the same time during performing a song and if it’s possible to send program changes into each direction with one setting.
Program change is covered here - with this method, the Digitakt pattern selection will be reflected on the Digitone while playing a pattern. Unfortunately there is not a way to send MIDI in both directions at the same time
@@SlowHaste I was a little bit confused with the program change via midi track. I just learned about auto channel, which works very well. It’s my first time with two Elektron devices.
Hello Daniel! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have a small question for this setup: are you able to take advantage of the eight-voice polyphony of the Digitone this way or are you somehow limited to the 4-note chord programming of Digitakt's midi sequencer? Thanks!
My pleasure! You can absolutely still use all 8 voices of the Digitone, as the sequencers are linked, but are still programmed independently. You can also hit “play” on the Digitone to run that sequence independently from the Digitakt.
I now wonder if we could go midi thru to a PC input to control also some software synthesizer on other midi channels (on the digitakt) been thinking how I might do this to control both digitone and some secondary thing
Great video and very useful. Is there any way that apart from all the setup you have already done the digitakt can control the 4 tracks of the digitone with the mute mode?
Hey daniel I love you videos thanks so much for all your info, i also have a small question, i want to use my Eatherwave Theremin as my controller, similar to the setup you've just explained but as I only have CV out and Gate out on Theremin, Im not sure how to set my settings in the digitakt or the digitone I have a syntakt attached to all this also, could you help with how I should proceed ? Thanks so much in Advance
First: thanks a lot for explaining this setup so straightforward. One question: Does this setup allow you to input notes on MIDI channels on both machines to control external gear? Or maybe only allows you to do this on one of the two machines? Which one do you think has a better external MIDI gear sequencer?? Cheers!
That’s a good question and unfortunately I’ve actually never used them to sequence external gear! I don’t really have much else that I could sequence haha, so it’s not something I’ve looked into yet
That’s a good question and unfortunately I’ve actually never used them to sequence external gear! I don’t really have much else that I could sequence haha, so it’s not something I’ve looked into yet
@@SlowHaste Thanks anyway Daniel. I will experiment myself as soon as I can because i own this three elements (Keystep / Digitakt / Digitone) and also some other small synths. Or maybe another viewer can share some experience of this same setup plus some external synths sequenced by DT or DN.
Great video! Thanks for taking the effort! A question; I have a similar setup (Keylab instead of Keystep) and am trying to configure it so I can use the Keylab transport controls to operate the Digitakt, which also would trigger the Digitone. I cannot get it to work....Any suggestions? Both DT and DN have "TRANSPORT RECEIVE" checked.
Thanks for watching! Hmm.. I haven’t tried to do that, but you may have to check on the auto channel settings on the keylab, or perhaps you might have to utilize the MIDI-thru?
@@SlowHaste Hm, not sure what you mean by that. I am already able to control Digitone transport via Digitakt (DN transport receive/DT transport send). I was thinking if I also check “transport receive” on the DT, I would be able to control transport from the Keylab for both DT and DN. This should be done by a simple Midi out from Keylab to midi in on the DN, or am I mistaken…?
You can indeed! That’s exactly why I set it up this way, so I can control tempo/patterns with the ‘takt, but play the ‘tone with my keyboard. I like to live record in my sequences, so it works perfectly for me!
one work around is to create an midi track on digitakt that is set to w.e number ur auto channel is on. This has allowed me to manually enter notes on digitone, only problem is it takes up a midi track on the digitakt which is unfortunate
Thanks for this video! But…with this method there seems to be no way to utilize the Digitone’s sequencer to live record cc adjustments to the digitone notes - am I missing something?
I figured out a workaround. Tedious but not terrible. Create drums with Digitakt. Then when it comes time to create melodies w/ Digitone, swap the midi settings and swap the midi cable. Make Digitone the master. Work on that for awhile. Wanna make DT adjustments? Swap again, etc. That will fully utilize the sequencing abilities of both devices without having to input notes into Digitone one tedious manual note at a time a la Ivan Tryti…whose work is incredible, of course. Just not my input style, as a keyboard player.
Great video! As an alternative, have you tried using a separate auto channel on the DN? that way you could "swap" to the DN by switching midi channels on your keyboard and selecting the track on the DN. Im not sure if one way is better than the other.
@@SlowHaste I'll have to experiment with it, I'm not sure how the DT/DN handle the pass-through/merge, because you'd want the clock and program change from the DT, but note data from the keystep...
@@SlowHaste yea for sure. Im working on a larger live system with the DT/DN/OT, with the OT acting as the lead for the other two, so im in the process of figuring out all the routing myself :P
You could set the auto channel on the DN to (e.g.) channel 9 and then set Midi A (e.g.) on the DT to send also to channel 9. When you now select track 9 on the DT, the current track of the DN is played by the Keystep without switching its channels.
Thank you sooo much!!!! Two quick questions: 1. After setting up my Digis, channel 9 (Midi A) is also triggering the kick drum on channel 1. Is there something in settings I need to turn off in the menu to avoid channel 1 being triggered? 2. Also, I have a TD3 I'm trying to send the clock from my Digitakt to. I have the IN of the TD3 connected to the MIDI THRU on my Digitakt since the MIDI OUT is already connected to my Digitone. I have the TD3 on MIDI E and set to the same midi channel on both Digitakt and TD3 but I'm not able to get the clock to sync. I'm losing my mind and would appreciate any help! Cheers!
Good questions - regarding the TD3, tbh I’m not totally sure as I don’t have any experience with syncing external devices (aside from the DN, which is relatively more straightforward). I actually ran into the double trigger issue the first time I set it up and I cannot remember what I did to get it to go away! When you press the 9 key on the DT, does it play the corresponding synth on the DN? It could have something to do with your autochannel setting if a keystep key press is playing both notes at the same time.. but for some reason I thought that was only possible if utilizing MIDI thru. Sorry, as I didn’t really provide a solution and potentially just made things more confusing 😂
> After setting up my Digis, channel 9 (Midi A) is also triggering the kick drum on channel 1. I think that's because track A is set to MIDI channel 1, which by default is received by both track 1 on the DN (which you want) and track 1 on the DT (the kick, which you don't want). The fix is to go into the MIDI channel settings on the DT and change track 1's MIDI channel from 1 to off (or some other channel than 1 to 4).
Right, unless you want to isolate the tracks you’ve got on the Digitone, you just hit “play” on the Digitakt to initiate the pattern across both devices! You’re still using the Digitone’s grid & transport buttons (record/play/stop) to enter those notes onto the Digitone’s grid though
@@SlowHaste Definitely seems like a workflow I should try thing is sound locks are huge for me with elektron devices.. not sure if I can use them this way.. will try it for sure though.
Question for you: I have the same devices set up the same way, but I can't see to get the DT's mutes to control the DN's tracks. I have MIDI settings: DT Mute Dst: INT+EXT and DN Mute Dst: EXT. Shouldn't that work? I can only get the DN to control mutes, which confuses the hell out of me-between track selected, global mutes, and pattern mutes, with the lights on those little buttons bleeding into one another. Any idea what I'm missing?
On the Digitakt, set Midi Config > Port Config > Mute Dest to INT+EXT (like you did) and then go into Midi Config > Channels and set Track 1-8 Channel to Off, and Track A-D Channel to 1-4 respectively. Voilà, you can now mute the Digitone tracks with the 9-12 buttons on the Digitakt.
Thanks for the video. I followed every setting step. When I get to 3m22s, I press MIDI 9, hold [FUNC] 9, press knob "A," and turn to "1." When I do the same for MIDI 10, knob "A" doesn't change to "2" when I turn it. What's the deal? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
