Elektron Sequencers are insanely full of amazing features and can help you crank out complex and novel ideas in the studio and onstage. When combined with Ableton Live you can take over the universe. The Digitakt, Digitone, and Syntakt offer the same amazing midi sequencing capabilities and we take advantage of them here controlling an ableton drum rack.

Finally we can save those midi setups on the mark II Digitakt. Or so I’ve heard

@krystledawne 2 года назад

The buttons on those boxes are so strangely satisfying

@goonfish Год назад

Mechanical keyswitches! *Not strange at all.* 🤤

@robbiep742 2 года назад

Anthony, I run an all Elektron live setup. Would love to see more material on how to work with Elektron gear for live performance, or similar content like this on how to effectively integrate with Abelton in a live setting. This is a great usage I hadn't even thought of!

@robbiep742 2 года назад

Maybe as promo material for live course launch perhaps

@alice10888 2 года назад

How does the Digitakt compare to Push 2?

@DiegoFuego87 2 месяца назад

Now I have the DTII this is what the OG DT will be doing until I decide to sell it

@robertsyrett1992 2 года назад

Those were some really interesting suggestions and a useful overview of the technical details. Thanks!

@raulmiranda737 Год назад

This is great. I was looking for a new way to use my digitakt!

@jonathanjacquet4628 2 года назад

It looks cool! Now we have probabilities… in ableton since live 11. But the Elektron workflow is great

@tomwinterstone 6 месяцев назад

That's really cool. I even went as far as to write a control surface script for it, so the 8 knobs auto map to the 8 parameters of the selected device. But there's a ~15.7ms delay that I absolutely can't get rid of. Whenever I'm recording like this, the midi notes start at 0:0:0.016. Any idea how to fix that?

Mindblown

@alainthiry3965 Год назад

Thank you, informative and clear. input steps by 'button with numbers' is not very intuitive, i prefer visual view (grid) of rythm like drums sequencer in reason. For use 'grid trig' system i use push3 and ableton12 which now permit adjust chance and probabilty. Elektron can just be useful for the 8 knob/cc remote for macro, which is a cool thing.

@leesmith5420 2 года назад

What is that rack you are using? Are you able to cycle through samples with it using the macros?

@SeedtoStage 2 года назад

Its a rack full of Ableton Samplers this method will be explained in full detail along with many others in my upcoming Live Performance with Ableton Course :)

@_justin_joe 2 года назад

Don't forget the Octatrack in this list. Is actually the best sequencer out of all these units. For example 3 LFO per track x 8 tracks. Also LFO designer etc.

@iceblack24 Год назад

but no easy connection to your DAW....

@GeorgeLocke 2 года назад

I like Dave Mech's suggestion that you can use the mod wheel, aftertouch page for parameter locks. It's just a little less work to set up on both send and receive devices.

@mbryan829 2 года назад

Awesome video! I recently got a Digitakt and have been loving it as a standalone beat making machine, never thought of using it as a MIDI controller. Any chance you'd be able to publish the drum rack? Looking forward to the live performance course!

@jigs1758 2 года назад

That particular drum rack is a great for the digitakt. It funtions exactly like assigning the LFO to the sample slot on the digitakt.

@screaminglife32 Месяц назад

where can we find this drum rack?

@armintam5arian 2 года назад

yeah! more of this "elektron meets ableton" videos!

@nomad1517 4 месяца назад

I would say the digitakt is a perfect companion for ableton for it's sampling capabilities during live performances. It's super fast and hands on and the fx are fantastic for mangling, distorting, glitching, etc. I think every live artists should use one in their live sets.

@iamsimonmorris Год назад

this was so well presented...Please consider doing a Digitakt Tutorial Set...there really isnt anything simple and clear available..your simple examples here ...ticked all the boxes for a noob to the Digitakt world..

@Septeemberpain 11 месяцев назад

What is the source for those drum sounds? I know they are coming from the drum rack but where are they from? A seed to stage sample pack? Great video!!

@vagueversatile Год назад

Hello, very interesting video and channel! Do you know how I could trigger scene changes from DT to Ableton by using pattern changes?

@kdthorne 2 года назад

thanks for the great video. I can get everything to work for the first track, but when I add midi B (2nd midi track) it won't make a sound with the sequencer, but will when I hit the button for a trig in ableton. So strange. I have check all settings and restarted/updated everything. Any ideas?

@jamesroeser Год назад

3:33 how did you get the drum rack gate set up that way? Thanks!

@loicvalenti 2 года назад

i don't have anything smart to say on that one, but thanks for the tuto chief

@krystledawne 2 года назад

I’ll third that.

@damooro8606 2 года назад

Thank you for the helpful training. Well explained and well presented

@daftdj123 Год назад

I didn't manage to succesfully set this up with tight clocking. The sound coming from the Digitakt on OB is ok with Live clock, but the MIDI track is late... any idea ? thx

@bazumbaz Год назад

same issue here, did you find any solutions? Also have the audio tracks in sync but midi in ableton is late.

@djericlouis Год назад

Nice one, however I guess a short fall is that if doing 4/4 house /techno music it's a bit wonky to have different sounds trigger on the same step (in the Digitakt/Digitone that is) for example you have your 4 on the floor kicks. Adding a Clap or SNare on beats 2 & 4 (on top of kick) is't really possible on the same midi track that controls a single drum track. (Yes I know it's possible to have a neighbor note play them and then use nudge)

@saturnine1979 8 месяцев назад

In the drum rack, each sound is on its own lane according to note value, so it's not a problem.

@vor946 Год назад

can you do all of this without audio interface? with only digitakt connected by usb to the pc?

@madtho Год назад

Yes

@dibsmm9888 2 года назад

Quality, now using this on digitakt with syntact and launchpad x

@geohashi 2 года назад

I have my midi values assigned to the macro knobs, but how are the kick snare clap and hat macros selecting different sounds? Are they macro'd to something within Ableton?

Nothing beats the Reason Matrix Pattern Sequencer with random function

@station2station544 2 года назад

Cant get my head around how this is better than a Push.

@RevIsnot 10 месяцев назад

worlds most expensive novation launchcontrol

@OrangeNash Год назад

The Digitakt keys didn't used to be velocity sensitive. Have they ever added that? While decent in it's own right, it's awfully expensive for a non-velocity sensitive midi controller! Useful if you want to play live without Ableton. But in the studio, everything it did, could be done easier in the DAW. A bit of a luxury item, maybe, so I sold it 🙂 You could get a Beatstep, Keystep and a couple of synths for the price.

@Roman-db6io 2 года назад

Is it possible to send a pattern from a Ableton pianoroll to a digitakt. I searched the elektronauts forum for information, but did not find anything that worked

@madtho Год назад

Yes, you can sequence the Digitakt’s sample channels from Live. You can also send program changes to the Digi to change patterns etc.

@AndreGMendes Год назад

Hi Anthony! Trying this now but I'm facing a problem when pressing "FUNC+NO". So i have the same settings as you in Live's preferences. Also when moving a knob on the macro I can see the knob moving on the Digitakt and vice-versa. The problem here is when I press "FUNC+NO", for some reason the macro knobs are not changing in Live. Can't figure out why.. I though this could be releated to the Takeover Move in Live but i've tested both Value Scaling, None and Pickup Value and still not able to make this work... What am i missing here? For reference I'm using Midi channel 1 and values CC 70 to 79 on the DT. Thanks!

@chr1sdanger Год назад

He’s doing it with parameter locks here which will send midi messages on their respective trigs to update the Ableton knobs. It may not work without that. I haven’t tested this, just a theory. Did you end up figuring it out?

@OlololololoA40 Год назад

Same problem, also I noticed that when I press FUNC+NO digitakt time to time sends values of the knobs to 0, but displays correct values, then when I press FUNC+NO again few times - it reload it correctly
