In depth course for the original Digitakt 1 now heavily discounted! Get here: davemech.live/shop
You can get the samples from the video for free (or pay what you want for support) here: davemech.gumroad.com/l/pecfe
Super happy with this new release. It's really a leveled up Digitakt and since it's my most used groovebox ever, you might guess I love this thing! In this video I go over the fearures that I like the most and why. It's a somewhat brief overview but hopefully it shows you some interesting stuff. I also recorded a bunch of samples to create a first groove on the new Digitakt ii.
Disclaimer 1: Elektron send me the Digitakt 2. They have no say over the content of the video. I do my best to give my honest overview and wishes. I love the original Digitakt dearly so naturally I'm very enthusiastic about this release as well :)
Disclaimer 2: I accidentally left the overhead camera on continuous auto-focus so sometimes the image is zooming and things become a bit blurry. Luckily it's not too bad.

@DaveShipp Месяц назад

This has been by far and away the most compelling Digitakt II video I've watched. You got the presentation just right, not a dry presentation of all the features, but honed down to what's most interesting and presented in a really practical way. Thanks! I think you may have significantly influenced my purchasing decision. I learned a few things!

@Davemech Месяц назад

Thank you so much 🙏 glad to hear it was a nice watch. I was really in doubt if this was the right direction to take. I kept in mind what’s already out there so just zoomed into the stuff that excites me the most about DT2. Cheers 🍻

I'm enthralled with the Digitakt 2. Just finally received mine yesterday and right out of the box, I was comfortable and things were working well. And I'm a pure newb with only the model:samples as my initial intro to Elektron workflow. Very happy and excited to learn more and why I'm happy to've arrived here. /cheers🍻

@Depuratumba 29 дней назад

adding: MIDI LFOs machines would be amazing... and it would REALLY add to the whole modularity aspect that they're aiming for when marketing DT2. Sequencing the FX, I don't see that happening, UI-wise seems unlikely imho. A manager for Digitakt is long overdue, not being able to catch a glimpse of all pattern names for example is absolutely crazy, same with moving around samples as you mentions, specially now that we have sample banks. EDIT: also, great jam at the end! I love to be able to hear proper stereo field on those samples you recorded. Can't wait to get my hands on mine!

that comb filter... 🤤Performance mode also seem pretty great for my worfklow (I think it's pretty similar to yours) as to be able to have temporary patterns that serve as a breakdown to create tention, buildups, etc. - then go back to the original pattern, without the value jumps.

Awesome video! Love the sampling location - Can you please tell me what Mic Model you use?

@Davemech Месяц назад

For the field recording I used zoom H5 which is discontinued. A new version is now available with 32bit recording. Supposedly really good so I might upgrade someday. The mic I use for the talking bits is a rode ntg4+.

@jeffyedinak9614 28 дней назад

Thanks much sir! Very much appreciate it. I’m not at your level so will explore the older models of the Zoom most likely.

Also appreciate the discounted MasterClass for the D1 as I most likely will buy to learn the device better while I wait for some discounted D2s in the future.

@hexwavemusic 29 дней назад

Great video! I do hope they fix the page looping soon, its a great idea but not really usable right now.. Not only do things go out of sync but it seems to instantly jump to a page if you press it while playing and its very bad sounding and janky and sounds like its trying to "catch up". I would expect it to play the selected looping bars after the currently played one finishes for a smooth transition 🤔 But, I'm sure it will be fixed soon, early days!

@rubenzemog Месяц назад

Why didnt they put an Arpeggiator on it? That was my most wanted feature but ... no.

@Davemech Месяц назад

🤷‍♂️

@FuZZbaLLbee Месяц назад

Wait, you can start sampling on play to create fixed length loops from your other midi controlled sysnths?

@Davemech Месяц назад

Yes :)

@studio48nl Месяц назад

Is it now possible that a master keyboard forwards it's pitch and modulation wheel info to gear on other midi tracks?

@Davemech Месяц назад

Should now work but I’m not entirely sure yet. I’ll check after superbooth

@Jamooshoe Месяц назад

Does anyone know whether aftertouch now gets transmitted from an external controller to another external synth? That is, can we can now use an external keyboards/controllers aftertouch/mod wheel (such as the keystep) via the digitakt to control another external synth (such as a sequential take 5)? On my DT1 I cannot use my keysteps mod wheel or keyboard aftertouch to control my external synths via the digitakt (I can only modulate these parameters via the knobs on the DT). I’ve been asking around for anyone’s personal experiences with this but haven’t had it confirmed yet. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated- thanks :)

@dylanmassey7748 Месяц назад

Does the preset pool trig mode play the whole sample if you change patterns or does it cut off? I guess , if so, you could put an 8 bar transition in the preset pool and trigger just before you change patterns.

@Davemech Месяц назад

I think if you keep the track , that was selected while triggering the preset , muted that should work. That way the preset won’t be cut off.

@milesbenson9772 Месяц назад

Hells Yeah

@duketranslucent3rd 18 дней назад

Looks lurvely. Do we know anything about the quantity/nature of the preloaded samples? Elektron don't seem to discuss this on the product page.

@Davemech 16 дней назад

There’s quite a lot compared to the original factory content. And much more useful sounds as well !

@duketranslucent3rd 16 дней назад

@@Davemech Thanks! Useful sounds good. I found the preloaded samples on the Mk1 to be very techno/glitch oriented, less useful for house etc.

@atommachine Месяц назад

Super .

@mantocks 26 дней назад

What do you think about its “synth” capability?

@Davemech 25 дней назад

It’s actually very capable. You can use wave tables and single cycle waveforms, and of course samples. So each track has a very flexible oscillator you could say. Individual tracks are not polyphonic unfortunately but add something like a retrokits rk002 and suddenly you will have a poly synth and groovebox in one. Synthesis wise it has everything you’d want and more since you will have full control over each “voice”. It’s arguably slightly more quirky to program as a polysynth than a traditional one but still … Cheers 🙏

@GusAlZabri Месяц назад

When will you have Digitakt 2 courses? I think Digitakt 2 is going be my very first attempt at making music.

@Davemech Месяц назад

Thanks for the interest in the courses. I can’t put a date on it exactly just yet. But after superbooth I’m going to start with the production. You can expect it within a few months 👍

@Summer_of_Syntakt Месяц назад

Hello, could you you share which device you use for sample recording like in this video?

If they manage to add Oberbridge to the DT2 where you can really record all tracks and fx then it is the perfect companion to my modular. Assignable envelopes would also be nice

@@Davemech I hope that they manage to send all tracks to the daw currently with the analog rytm mk1 I am Limited to 8 on 16bit.

oh men still no usb c ...but i will give it a try. i think now with that, my tr-8s and 2 op-1s i have a pretty good live setup that fits in a small case!

@Davemech Месяц назад

That sounds like a nice setup indeed! Regarding usb-c: there’s not much of an upside to it really. USB-b provides enough bandwidth for many streams of audio. Beyond what would be used by DT2. The connector itself is also much studier and I prefer it to usb-c really.

@jm6734 12 дней назад

Looks cool, but from an outsiders POW - terribly involved. I can’t help thinking how superior a compact Ableton sampler would be in terms of usability. I can’t stand that bloody Push chessboard. Probably will never happen though.

@Davemech 12 дней назад

Not sure what you mean by terribly involved. The UI of Elektron instruments, and especially the smaller instruments like this one, is quite brilliant actually. This is something you cannot see from this video alone. Basically everything is very top level and thus only one or two button presses away. Once muscle memory kicks in the workflow is incredibly fast. A hypothetical Ableton in a box in this size can’t be superior as it’s simply something that is completely impossible:). Ableton is a daw first and has way too much functionality to be this direct in control. Even push is not even trying to do this as it’s mostly aimed at performance, not as a complete substitute of Live. Keyboard and mouse is pretty much as fast as it can get there ;) Regarding push: I have push 3 standalone and for what it offers it’s pretty brilliant. But it really depends on what you’re looking for of course. As always, it’s all very subjective. Cheers,
