Digitakt First Taste - (Almost a Tutorial)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The Digitakt is here. Elektron delivers again.
Here's a first, almost tutorial, not really a tutorial, taste of what it is. A few examples. A little sampling. Some editing. Some creating. I'll make a proper tutorial in the coming days.

Also I've got a web store with patches and stuff: store.truecucko...
Peace!

I love how you use that mirror so we can see you while you have the camera on the hardware.
Hadn’t noticed it was a mirror. That’s so analog ingenious!. Love it. Really liked the guy, now he’s my hero. :)
Best intro ever
Chris Bertucci I agree
Vvvvvvv TISSSSSShhh VUmmmmp Ting. I Agree :)
just sawing that face put me buy digitakt instantly
As usual, your patience and calmness makes it such a pleasure to watch your tutorial here and the other longer one.
My God you (probably) unconsciously made the most Amazing micro house track! LOVE YOUR STYLE!
Watching this makes me happy I bought a Digitakt... learning slowly but appreciating the joy behind the teacher.
Happy that reverb sent me to you! Nice to meet you cuckoo... sounds awesome with headphones on. I know it's 2017 but thanx for the upload bro cheers
Great video as always Cuckoo! You really connect people to the machines. I feel like Elektron has really worked to smooth out the workflow with this machine, I'm impressed!
Nice!! I ordered mine last night so can't wait for some serious knob-twiddling!
That part about reloading the original pattern in case you've botched it sounds super helpful. What a nifty machine. Great review as always cuckoo.
Just a week ago we had a wonderful event for musicians here in Moscow. Lot's of lectures, jams and discussions. There were few electronic gear shops representatives and they had few boxes from Elektron. Once you start talking about Elektron gear your conversation ends up at "Ÿou know that dude Cuckoo from youtube, right?" and the other says "That funny weirdo with a beard and mirror?". Keep on doing your thing! Your videos are appreciated all around the world.
+russianvoodoo ha ha.. well thank you sir! It's good to know my channel is getting into hands of likeminded ✊🏼
I've been messing around with my Digitakt for a few months but this video taught me a ton that I still didn't know. The Digitakt has so many little tricks!
Thanks. The clearest explanation I’ve seen of the basic functions and other stuff that I’m going to want to get to grips with. Straight to the point and you managed not to call me ‘guys’ about a thousand times!
I spent half of last night watching every video on the Digitrakt I could find. Haven't been this intrigued by a piece of hardware in quite some time. Thanks for your videos, they're always so playful, yet in-depth. Keep them coming (and the bears growing ;)).
Adzix yeah me too, it something special,!
just buy it :D
Hah, I guess I should... but I try to be selective, if I give in to every impulse I end up broke :/
u right!! anyhow iv watched every video about this machine. it is impressive!! still hoping to find the down side of it..
Yeah I know what you mean.
Well, for now it's out of stock (at least for Europe) and I will have to wait more than a month for the restock anyways. Gives me more time to think haha ;)
I think it clearly has limitations (monophony for example) BUT to me that's not a downside.
This is a very special tool and I think it's often fun and leads to interesting results, when you have to work around limitations...
Totally agree! The way I learned my Moog was to screw around with everything and start with blank patch no presets! I learn so much in 2 days about how to shape cool sounds with filters and oscillators. The Elektron products are technically complex but so amazing well engineered for pros compared to the lower end toys.
You look so happy playing with it... Nice video !
Looks like a dream machine. I'm going to save up.
Thanks for this, especially the reload sample piece
Just ordered one, can’t wait till it gets here, love your vids dude 👍
You're awesome and your vids are awesome. Just got my digitakt. Played with it a bit, but now will watch your vid to see whats up
Watched this in 2020 and bought one straight away, fantastic video.Thankyou 🔥🔥
Great demo. Incredibly helpful. Waiting on delivery for mine tomorrow.
Looking forward to your in-depth demos.
Also, say hi to your uncle for me; he was my hero in the 80s, much to the dismay of my parents, friends, and random passers-by.

The quality of those new videos is immense!!! Worth every hour of rendering with the 2012 Macbook Pro! (lol)
+Giulio ha ha. Thanks mate! I took a chance with that camera. But it's really good. Next Monday Apple is holding a keynote during wwdc. Rumours has it an updated MacBook Pro with the new generation processor might debut. I think that's the one I should save up to.
Hello! This is Artiom from Murmansk (200 km far from Kirkenes)
I've got Machinedrum and Octatrack! They're awesome! You are awesome.
+Alexander Abdulov yeeey, hello up there! Thanks!!

какой ты наблюдательный пиздец xD
I wonder if Mr. Oizo will get his hands on this. Cuz what I'm hearing definitely has his vibe on it.
wish I could like this video more than once. could only watch first eight mins as it's late here in the UK but looking forward to getting into this.. more than that though im excited to hear what you create with this in future vidoes. love it.
Very fun, enjoyable, educational and satisfying demo.
A great insight into the possibilities.
You + Digitakt = A fantastic combo.
First video I've seen of yours.
Instantly like you and what you do
Great little introduction... Can't wait for mine to arrive!
I never really clicked with Octatrack, but this seems to have taken some of the aspects of Rytm that I adore and expanded upon them. The CONTROL ALL is HUGE for me. GAS through the roof - can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm salivating thinking of my Digitakt-Rytm-Heat combo.

Mr Cuckoo, your tutorials are amazingly helpful. Keep on keeping on!
One of these days I will power on one of my electronic devices and the power up sounds will be Cuckoo's Voice FX! Great stuff!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful instrument with me... Looks like my funds are going to be taking a hit
Hahah
Cuckoo, u're funky as shit. Now I need this, thank to those stupid dope beats you were making. I plan on pairing this up Kilpatrick's Carbon.
So so great
So good.
awesome man sweet to know you

nice little touch with the mirror :D
Never considered one of these but now I want one!
This one is just amazing!! Please more Digitakt stuff...
Great video, so chill. I want to download your personality to alexa.
Love the mirror used as screen inside screen :D
nice video Cukoo! this is a good drum machine, ease of use, good sound quality, a fun instrument you play with, there are topics I'd like to know more about: sample retrig (as in machinedrum , I don'nt know if Digitakt has this feature), sequencer swing, parameter locks.
I saw the hair and immediately subscribed
keep up the good work fella!
What a legend. I love this guy.
Thanks for posting this, very useful can't wait to get mine when ever that will be lol
Thanks for the tutorials my friends. Super quality
8:30 Suddenly we're playing Earthbound
Cuckoo is the best!
I have one of these on the way - THANK YOU for making these! @9:13 - Pure Magic!! 🤗😁👊
Fantastic!
very cool stuff!
I would like to buy a cuckoo effect..
Nice gadget for sure, if it had an analog circuit "Heat" knob to "color" the samples it would make sense to buy, otherwise maschine is still the best choice for sampling etc
I'm excited for mine. It's on it's way. Hell of an intro btw
My Digitakt is on the way. As a Guitar Player, I want to see what I can do with sampling guitar tracks in interesting way. Looking forward to learning how to use the sequencer for my other Midi gear. Wondering if there is an interesting way I could use midi with Guitar Effects, like the Strymon Timeline or Mobius, for example, beyond just patch changes.
nice demo, Cuckoo ;)
Love this freak :)
Suave/cool! Digitakt looks like lots of fun. Gracias/Thanks!
So cool dude..
very nice tutorial .the mirror is funny.
"Hello, this Michael Winslow" :D
Awesome really helpful and inspiring dude
this mirror tho... good idea lol
Thank You!
How about a video of the "Waldorf - Blofeld"
pls :D
any plans on a MPC LIVE review. Just got mine and it's pretty awesome.
Excellent intro sir 😁
After watching the video is there a way (or maybe future suggestion ) to toggle the button for master parameter control instead of having to hold the button and only have one hand for knob twiddling?
Yeah finally
great video, was going to buy one of these today but still felt a little odd about it. Changing the parameters for all the tracks at once and then reloading the pattern is just what I need. Thanks for hurting my wallet
Haha, you're welcome (I guess 😅) I think Control-all and reload is one of the most fun immediate performance wiggles you can do.
I think your verbal sound effects are beginning to rival your synth skills. ;)
Cuckoo my boi
Cool!
Reminds me of the korg electribe esx
thanks!!! good one
why are you so likable? we gotta chill!!
how does this compare wit machinedrum because I am interested in one plus Yamaha ex5
does this have the same awkward paten management system as the mono-machine ? if i can load up a song like i do in renoise and save instruments and arrange patterns within the song then save it then i will definatly buy one.
I RTFM
5.1 +DRIVE keeps up to 128 projects stored internally, and it also holds all saved
sounds. The +Drive also contains the sample bank. All projects have access to these samples.
5.2.1 PROJECT
A project contains 128 patterns. General settings and states are also stored in the project. When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of the Digitakt. From here it is possible to edit the patterns and sounds of the project. Every time the Digitakt is switched on, it boots to the active working
state, the active project.
So i can load up a project set a side 16 patterns per song and have 8 songs per project for example if im not mistaken.
so is the sample library then imported into the project?
Sounds are stored in the +Drive Sound library. The +Drive Sound library holds up to 2048 sounds.
You can use the SOUND MANAGER to manage sounds
Ah so it looks like you have a global sample library that all projects have access to but any editing to said sample is saved in the project state thus making it non destructive sample editing.
So best to not delete samples from the library then :)
Is it possible to make a pattern and then put all the sounds on to one of the pads? Like some sort of transition from one song to another. I guess you could record everything and do it that way but it would be cool if it was possible to transfer a pattern to just one pad.
this seems to surpass the Octatrack in terms of "playability". globally applying changes and taking a pattern to another place entirely really sounds great.
ive learned a lot from your OT tutorials. the OT does Slices better, judging by what I see here.
but do you think these two boxes are similar enough to say that for most users its a 50-50 split on which is right for them?
It needs a scale mode
God, I love this video! Now, if only I could afford a Digitakt... :)
Future Kitsune I feel you
Fuck love you man.. We need to go for a beer
nice one brutha
Someone help!! Just finally got my Digitakt, updated the firmware and just wanted to start jamming?! No sound at all?? Tried headphones, into the mixer nothing at all!?? Sequencer is running but not a single sound?? Any ideas? Cheers
anyone know a us release date?
Cuckoo - I am going to buy an Octatrack to use with my guitar loops and modular etc. I've heard that the workflow takes awhile to grok, and some people can't ever gel with it. In your opinion would the Digitakt be an easier entry into the Elektron workflow than the Octatrack? I'm going to eventually buy both, but if getting the Digitakt first will make the Octatrack easier to learn, I'll get it first.
Thanks. I love your videos, you wonderful freak.
Thanks mate! The Digitakt is certainly easier to get into, no question about it. But you will not be able to use it as a sampler looper, like you can with the Octatrack. I've got a tutorial for using the Octatrack as a looper here: ua-cam.com/video/JnbQ8ichm54/v-deo.html It is a bit messy, but once you get everything in place, and understand it, it can be quite efficient.
Thanks. Btw- Your sound effects are getting way better and have more impact. I could feel that Digitakt impact my brain when you presented it mixed with your mouth based sound effects. :)
Also: Definitely not expecting the Digitakt to be a looper. Just want the easiest intro to the workflow. Thanks again.
I need to add this to my setup! Would probably be be interesting alongside a circuit and electribe... Hmmm.. Or the Deluge??
Great video dude as always! ;)
could you show us how can you transfer samples ? which kind of samples,etc...? Tysm
Seems to be the first UI made by Elektron which is easy to understand... :_
Rip the stream
Mr Cuckoo, if you have the chance, please review as well the midi sequencer!! thanks bro!
Dude this tutorial is entertaining. Did u hit a little doobie just before you recorded this session?
nice beard
bring back the mutton chops!
They are good too. But shall we have a pointless argument about it and just end up insulting each other like people do in YT comments? I'd prefer not to and just be friendly and exchange ideas. Nice muttonchops!
How to record or sample other instruments
Aaaand now I bought one
If you sequence an external synth and run it through the Digitakt inputs, can you use CONTROL ALL on those midi tracks too?
Hi, unfortunately I can't find a video that talks about a very important thing like the Pattern Change in sync between Digitakt and Digitone ...
Love your vids...how do you unlock patterns like you did in video? Patterns seem protected?
