Making Randomised Arpeggiator Patterns on the Digitakt 

Yessir, I'll do my best!

no, u r.

Oh thank you! I'm really glad you're getting something from them!

Thanks for watching friend!

It sure does reward exploration.

Cheers, happy to help! Welcome to the channel!

It really is a wonderful instrument!

@@OscillatorSink did you make the synth sound using the Digitakt or is it sampled?

You just like the "face thumbnail" 😉

Thank you very much! I hope I can live up to your expectations!

I'm in the same boat. I've had one for months and keep figuring out new things still. Can't wait for more

Flex those musical muscles!

And thank you for watching!

You're very welcome. I'm glad you found it interesting!

A world of new possibilities just opened up 🙂

Happy new year - enjoy the new synth!

Thank you. Hopefully not too soothing - wouldn't want you to fall asleep part way through.

Not anymore! Hope you enjoy experimenting with them!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers!

👊

Have fun with it!

Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it!

Have fun with it!

Always space for another arp! Thanks for watching!

You are absolutely welcome!

Yes yes yes! I've done this a lot on the Digitone.

Really glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

The Digitakt is full of ideas like this. I love gear that has a very focused framework that you have to work within, but lots of freedom within it. Perfect balance.

Oscillator Sink it’s very deep i think

Cheers!

Have fun playing with these ideas!

Welcome to the channel!

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful.

The Digitakt is great. It definitely helps me get up and running quickly coming from the Digitone, but there's still lots to learn! Good news is that Overbridge is free now, so I'll get that and have a play soon, but I'm kinda enjoying it in "strictly stand alone" mode - the whole joy of hardware is not turning the computer screen on!

Thank you for checking it out!

Enjoy it! And get the bee firmware on there, it adds some great features!

Oscillator Sink 👌🏼

👊

Thanks for checking it out!

I’m doing this, this afternoon! Had my unit a week, still exploring!

There's lots to explore for sure! I'm having lots of fun with it!

Enjoy it, it's ace!

👍

Thank you!

Cheers for checking it out!

Yup! Soonish at the latest!

And thank you for watching!

I do intend to do something on the Digitone's arpeggiator. Just finding the time at the moment!

Oscillator Sink yeah I know what you mean, not enough hours in the day. I read the DT & DN doesn’t have a song mode, how does one create and save a full song they’ve worked on (sorry new to this).

You can create chains of patterns, or what I do is perform the pattern changes live and record it - there's your song. It's nice to commit stuff "to tape"

Oscillator Sink oh I see, I will look up a video on how you chain and record. Is this the same on the DN?

Yeah I think so.

Might be a while until the next one, but I'm glad that you're pleased to see it!

Depends on your definition of help! You'll love it, but send my apologies to your bank account!!

You're very welcome!

I'm glad you liked it!

👍

Cheers!

I like "Conditional Arps"! I wish I'd called them that in the video now!!

Cheers 👊

It's a combination of maths and magic and I like both of those things. Have you looked at the "Step Components" implementation on the OP-Z though? It's kinda amazing and does some stuff that takes some of the ideas that they've clearly "borrowed" from Elektron and expands on them on some really interesting ways. Jeremy (Red Means Recording) just did a video on them if you need a primer. I'm certainly in favour of Elektron "borrowing" some of those ideas back...

@@OscillatorSink I have indeed. I'm not keen on the form factor (or the price) but the sequencer is brilliant.

Yeah, I'm super torn. I kinda really want one whilst not wanting it at all...

👍

I'll do my best!

@@OscillatorSink your journey is also mine (and everyone else commenting too)

👊

Cool! Stop tempting me to buy one though... The Elektron addiction is real.

@@OscillatorSink Had a Didgitakt for a year, then an AR joined the family. Although I'm still only learning it, there really are great sounds to be had and a Mark 1 can be picked up for relatively cheap. Be aware that the audio inputs are disappointing (low input impedance on Mk1 and no way to control parameters).

You're speaking my language!

Are you familiar with the Elektron Analog 4 MK1? Would this be a good instrument to use the tracks with arps stacked onto each other or would you recommend something better for this? Right now I'm just syncing a few latched analog synths but I would like to have the arp chords and their settings (rnd/up/down/etc) predetermined for live playing so that all I have to do is turn the track on and go to town on the knobs. @@OscillatorSink

Other than a few demos I don't really know much about it. I seem to remember that both Bo Beats and Cuckoo have covered it in detail in their videos.

Thanks - I’ll try that. @@OscillatorSink

Cosmo Spacemonkey You are speaking my language too. The Elektron A4 is a dream machine for this kind of exploration but you have to know that it does not have the specific retrig feature that Digitact, Octatrack and Analog Rytm have. Of course you can end up to the same results using its fantastic LFOs ( four per track!) and the conditional trigs of course. One more thing you must have in mind is that A4 's sequence does not send midi out. Only cv. That means that if you are thinking of using the wonderful Electron sequencer in order to midi drive your other gear you have to check Octatrack, Digitakt or Digitone. Chears!

Great tip!

Yessss

@@OscillatorSink thank you for this video.. will try this on a midi track aswell..

Cheers!
