Ricky, YT has been feeding me a non-stop frenzy of old videos of yours, and I've been binging like crazy for the past few days. You're my favourite. Greetings!
First! also.....COMPACT CREATIONS IS BACK BABY!!!! these are the videos that got me into hardware electronic in the first place. absolutely love them, and i just love vibing with you as you make these things. always inspires me to jump up and make my own track as soon as the video ends, on my own compact setup. luv u dude, thanks a ton for this this morning. means a lot, truly.
Picked up a used Digitakt I a couple weeks back for a ridonkulously low price. Thought I was going to get some janky, old, battered box, but it's in perfect condition and making me so happy right now. Ricky, your videos have been a massive inspiration! In it to win it baby!
That’s amazing to hear. when DTII came out I said to myself, the Digitakt just yesterday was so good. Doesn’t change what it can do today haha! Im happy you got a deal on one!
Meanwhile, the rest of us "I've got one goal, and that's to watch someone else make a track before I hit the sack"...lol Those 606 hats.... chef's kiss!
Glad to see someone showcasing the mm2. Was lucky enough to get my hands on one last December and it's an incredible little box! Such a wide variety of sounds you can get out of it and they all for the most part sound great.
Looks like a lot of fun but presumably it’s months if not years of experience on Digitakt. Your fingers are flying on those buttons. Very inspiring. Best ad for this piece of hardware. Oh and video production quality is on point.
Hey Ricky, would you consider going over the current state of your studio at some point? I noticed some interesting things going on off camera, on the Mac etc.
Awesome track! I have a Model:Samples and it’s my favorite piece of kit, would you say it’s worth getting the og Digitakt as a step up or should I save for the mkii?
Yet another inspiring quick hitter! Great little nuggets of info inside the video as well. 🙏 What outboard mixer are you using to run your gear through?
Ricky, any idea at all when overbridge will be out? Hitting some production walls here with the DTII and its lack of it. I use the MM2 often with my DTII it’s a great pairing :-)
I wish my mm2 was still healthy. One of the audio paths got messed up at some point, its ultra low volume+ultra high noise floor. I contacted the guy over in France and he said he would take a look but this was during covid with global shipping all messed up. Didn't want to risk it. I regret not shipping it.
To be honest, that’s a pretty classic dying-capacitors issue. That, or an amplifier transistor is dead. Either way you might not need to send it overseas, if you can get a local tech to look at it. I know people who know just a little default to capacitors for everything, but that always annoys me lol. But those capacitors in the audio circuit do literally buffer the signal and reduce unwanted noise; and since they need to be finely tuned to let the right frequencies through, when an audio capacitor gets close to dying the volume just gets lower and lower before cutting out entirely.
@@audiothingies wow thanks for seeing this and responding. you may have lit the fire i needed to get the ball rolling again. i still have the email chain, ill take a look at it and hit you up!
AIAIAI have a low-latency proprietary wireless dongle for their newest Bluetooth headphones, specifically marketed at musicians, DJs, producers, etc. (I happen to be a longtime customer (since 2009) with an older Bluetooth module, so I got their emails bigging up the new one lol. I’m kinda surprised they’ve been picked-up by so many musicians, but I guess it works well!)
If you say this on the elektronaut mm2 page you get blasted by the producer, he says 15 months is the max wait ever. But yeah, expect at least 1 year before getting the device
@@sector328 I don't blast anybody, I am just telling the right numbers... we're around 16 months now for the unlucky ones but we're working on reducing this but we are not helped by some of our suppliers... 2 years: impossible or you just missed the "in stock" email.
Only this generation could introduce with all their overpriced gear a new favourite function that injects "randomness" into their music. LOL #itslikesorandom 😅
Ricky, YT has been feeding me a non-stop frenzy of old videos of yours, and I've been binging like crazy for the past few days. You're my favourite. Greetings!
Happened to me a few years ago as well. Was a GREAT day!
Hell yea! Thanks for your time. ❤

Hell yeah! Thanks for being one of the OGs! And thank you for all the kind words. It’s back baby

What low price could you not pass up?

@@unclebuttonz7865 I was looking second hand and all I could find was £450 (I'm in the UK). Then I found one for £350, so I snapped it up.
@@unclebuttonz7865 £350!
Love seeing the micromonsta2 gettin some love. It’s such a lil beast!
Classic deep house. Lovely stuff.
Yes! Minimal creations are back! Some of the old ones are what really got me to make some music. Thanks!!
YOU ARE MAKING ME STAY UP WAY PAST MY BEDTIME
Awesome as always! Watching you making music is really inspiring
Meanwhile, the rest of us "I've got one goal, and that's to watch someone else make a track before I hit the sack"...lol
Those 606 hats.... chef's kiss!
haha!
The sick so sick 🎉
Some great workflow tips there! 👏🏻 👏🏻
Glad you like them! Happy to help
1 month late to the party... Thanks for featuring the MicroMonsta 2 in this video :)
Dope. So good watching you do all this in real time. Really fast too!
Glad you liked it!!

Nice 1 geezer, top jam. The random waveform on the LFO for the keys part really worked very nicely. Keep 'em coming.
Loved my micromonsta 2 - the only bit of gear I regretted selling. So tempted by the new Digitakt even though I don’t need it.
I almost sold it once on a whim, but I changed my mind and I don't regret it at all.
Sick jam !! 😎

This 🔥
Nice work matey!!!
Omg , that tune was sick man. Im a mpc user but i have to learn more about the digitakt it seems. Greetings from the Netherlands
Greetings! And thanks for vibing out with me
Watching you work is inspiring! 🤘🏽🙌🏾
Yesss more compact creations :)
I got lucky and found an used mm2 even cheaper than a new one, I'm in LOVE with that little box!
Lovely tune. Giving me Scott Sellars "schematics" diagram 1 vibes
you are a master on the Digitakt II
❤❤❤ I love my Digi / MM2 combo.
They’re so good together! 2 full blown poly synths
Good house track🎉
This track is 🍌 🍌
With ❤ from Danmark…i love your flow ❤
You had a DJ Pierre Wild Pitch vibe going on there in places 👌💥
Awesome track Ricky
Nice 🔥🔥🔥
I like how you set a fork in the sequence where all roads lead to step 16
Looks like space station to me😊
love this one
I’ve been on the wait list forever for the mm2
i'm on there so long, i dont even know if they even make more of them anymore? 😅
groovy!
You're using the Nord as a Syntakt clone. Good stuff! :D
Souper Dope ❤
Hey Ricky, would you consider going over the current state of your studio at some point? I noticed some interesting things going on off camera, on the Mac etc.
“60% of the time… it works every tiiiime!”
Dopeness.
20% gear nerd 80% artist - perfect ratio :)
Wicked track dude 👌
Thanks Danny!
Sick!!
W RICKY TINEZ FR
This.track is incredible! Are you putting it out?
Why is your shift button a different colour?
Ricky the Digitakt house god 🫶
Hey Ricky, what keyboard pull out are you using for your desk?
Compact Creations 🎉
What compressors do you use? The compression on your mixes is always 10/10. Are u using an external bus to Ableton or something like that?
Why the func is gray?
Awesome track! I have a Model:Samples and it’s my favorite piece of kit, would you say it’s worth getting the og Digitakt as a step up or should I save for the mkii?
Thanks for the video ❤What’s up with the banana cables?
Cool
Eternal house from Ricky nothing else ⚡️
Ive tried other things and it all sounds like house at this point 😂
who makes those colourful cables? they look super nice
What happened to your FUNC button? 🤔
Yet another inspiring quick hitter! Great little nuggets of info inside the video as well. 🙏
What outboard mixer are you using to run your gear through?
Ricky, any idea at all when overbridge will be out? Hitting some production walls here with the DTII and its lack of it. I use the MM2 often with my DTII it’s a great pairing :-)
Good stuff. is it possible to power the MM2 from the usb port on the DT? and is it then possible to send it USB midi?
Yo Dope Groove !! Hey why is your DT2 FUNC button grey ?
Can you edit the chop start end points on a Digitakt yet?
You ever plan on making that mousepad available in the store?
Well there goes another credit card charge. Thanks!
What do you use in order to switch the synth that receive the midi from the Nord?
🐆🐆🐆
Dang it. Why did ya mention 606? I was just thinking bout buying one for fun.
@Ricky which RME interface do you use?
Why dt over ar?
I wish my mm2 was still healthy. One of the audio paths got messed up at some point, its ultra low volume+ultra high noise floor. I contacted the guy over in France and he said he would take a look but this was during covid with global shipping all messed up. Didn't want to risk it. I regret not shipping it.
So the dude died of covid?
Ship it
To be honest, that’s a pretty classic dying-capacitors issue. That, or an amplifier transistor is dead. Either way you might not need to send it overseas, if you can get a local tech to look at it.

But those capacitors in the audio circuit do literally buffer the signal and reduce unwanted noise; and since they need to be finely tuned to let the right frequencies through, when an audio capacitor gets close to dying the volume just gets lower and lower before cutting out entirely.
Still time to get it fixed, contact me again
@@audiothingies wow thanks for seeing this and responding. you may have lit the fire i needed to get the ball rolling again. i still have the email chain, ill take a look at it and hit you up!
Grey func button!?!? 🤓
Ricky this might be a dumb question 🙋🏻♂️ how are you running wireless headphones on your set up??
AIAIAI have a low-latency proprietary wireless dongle for their newest Bluetooth headphones, specifically marketed at musicians, DJs, producers, etc.
(I happen to be a longtime customer (since 2009) with an older Bluetooth module, so I got their emails bigging up the new one lol. I’m kinda surprised they’ve been picked-up by so many musicians, but I guess it works well!)
I think I’m almost 2 years on the waiting list of getting a MM2…
Will this ever be in stock ?
If you say this on the elektronaut mm2 page you get blasted by the producer, he says 15 months is the max wait ever. But yeah, expect at least 1 year before getting the device
@@sector328 I don't blast anybody, I am just telling the right numbers... we're around 16 months now for the unlucky ones but we're working on reducing this but we are not helped by some of our suppliers... 2 years: impossible or you just missed the "in stock" email.
Awesome. If you could actually get a Micromonsta 2 that would be great as well. Audiothingies just cannot produce these.
it's 1 guy doing everything, the waiting time is about 1 year to get one
looking on eBay to get my hands on a used Nord (probably something older like the electro 4 or 5).... you think its worth getting the hammer version?
Eh, unless you're a crazy good keyboard player maybe not. I was aiming for the Electro 4 before I got a crazy deal on the 6 because of my old job.
Looking to trade my Model Samp & Digitone for a Syntak.
I have been vastly underutilizing my Digitakt it would seem.
if oooonly they added a battery... i cant see for the life of me why they didnt
Space and adding a battery would force them to redesign the whole thing...
"how to get grey func button" tutorial pls
Will there be the Octatrack mk3? I know you can't talk about it but just give us a sign! We will know.
Only this generation could introduce with all their overpriced gear a new favourite function that injects "randomness" into their music. LOL #itslikesorandom 😅
Slow it down man, you don't have to keep moving so quick to look like a pro.
Use your brain a bit! LOL
I want a micromonsta 2 so bad :S
Waited 900 years for the email then when I got it I was broke lol
Reply the email when you want to buy, others have done this with great success
@@audiothingies thank you!
Where you work is irrelevant. How you put in the work is. Strong work 💪🫡
