Setting up Digitakt+Digitone combo (and 10 minutes of noodling)

I intended to make a short video on how to set up the Digitakt and Digitone, but ended up playing around for 10 minutes after I ran out of tutorial material.
With this setup, the Digitakt will act as the master: this is where you set the tempo, change patterns and press play/stop. Tracks 9-12 will mute the DN's synth tracks 1-4, respectively. Very handy if you want all the mute buttons close to each other :)
TL;DW:
1. Connect the Digitakt's (DN) output L/R into the Digitone's (DN) Input L/R
2. Connect the DT's midi out to the DN's midi in
3. Go to the DN's master page with func+LFO
4. Set L in and R in to 100 and LPAN and RPAN all the way to the left and right respectively
5. Go to Midi config - sync and make the DT send clock and program change, and set the DN to receive clock and program change
6. On the DT, go to midi config - port config and set the mute destination to int+ext
7. On the DT, go do midi config - channels and disable tracks 1-8, then set A to 1, B to 2, C to 3 and D to 4.
I hope it was helpful, and thanks for watching!

@Silent_Stillness 5 лет назад

Hey Ivar! I thought this really was a nice session and video, the wealth of knowledge at the beginning was super nice. I thought the vibe overall was really coherent and I really liked how the bass line hit the beat rhythmically and melodically. The one thing I believe you could really benefit from at this point is to take the time to design your own sounds on the Digitone so that we could really get a clear sense of where your ear is taking you. I personally thought the energy of the bass was on point but I did dislike the high frequency portion of the bass timbre, it felt a bit like an unnecessary noisy distraction. You could easily get away with something as simple as designing 2 bass sounds, 2 leads, 2 pads and tweaking their timbre when you make something new on the spot. Your emphasis seems to be so much on punching your internalized melodies onto the machine in a condensed fashion that if you were using cleaner tones that you've already fully approved before the composing even started it would give you more of an ergonomic template that you could expand on more naturally tone wise. I do have to say I'm really not a fan of the recurring "pseudo depressive" color (I don't know how else to say it!) of the factory patches Elektron released for the Digitone. It really does take a conscious effort to stir away from that underlying vibe, but it's relatively easy to do, especially considering your level of technical mastery of the machines.

@IvarTryti 5 лет назад

Thanks for the both positive and constructive feedback, groovegcs! I was a bit more driven during the noodling part than I was on my last track from scratch video. I can agree on the bass having too much high frequency content; I usually like the sound of it, but it should be tweaked to suit the track. All of the patches I used here are patches I've made from scratch. I think the "pseudo depressive" sound I make can be explained by the fact that my three main insprations when it comes to making sounds is Trent Reznor/NIN, Thom Yorke/Radiohead, and Akira Yamaoka/Silent Hill :P. Reznor has a lot of really harsh industrial stuff, but also soft and haunting music, I don't exactly know how to describe Yorke's music other than haunting and beautiful, and Yamaoka has some of my favorite creepy lofi trip hop. Do you have any examples of synth patches that aren't "pseudo depressive"? I naturally gravitate towards making harsh patches and rolling back the cutoff to only let a bit of it shine through, or detuning slowly with an LFO and lots of reverb. I've been playing it rather safe lately by using the same patches and samples, so maybe I'll be inspired and make a new set of favorite patches :)

@Silent_Stillness 5 лет назад

@@IvarTryti My apologies :) you mentioning Radiohead is enough for me to understand that I had it all wrong. I have the Digitakt but I have only tested the Digitone for like 2 hours or so, I did make the erroneous assumption that the patches you used were the default patches because they sounded vaguely familiar to the factory patches. I come from the realm of deep house and cleaner old school tones, I like jazzy, funky and deep stuff most - music that has lots of "air" in it, but I also have an underlying natural attraction for styles that are based on electronic tones but without trying necessarily to turn into dance music. There's no other way to put it I'm just quite frankly in a bit of a rebellion against depressive sounding stuff, I want to feel moved and inspired when I listen to music, most of all it's about getting that nourishing and healing effect through the listening experience. Here are 2 old titles that reflect the kind of sounds with which I feel most at home, and i've chosen those mostly because of the tones that can be heard in them: First, probably the best bass sound ever created and coincidentally also most probably made with FM synthesis: St Germain - Pont des Arts : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A4_KW-cC6Og.html And last, Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UeiH9Mm0E5Y.html It's partially with that kind of lens that I'm listening to your content.

@IvarTryti 5 лет назад

@@Silent_Stillness Thanks for the inspiration, man :D. I haven't thought of house music this way. It's not a genre I listen to often, but there are definitely sounds and ideas there I could try to put into my own music. I'm gonna have to explore this :)

@johncaccioppo1142 4 года назад

Ivar Tryti I wonder if a more experienced musician than myself would be willing to argue that synth music in general tends to have a more sedative or spooky effect due to it's focus on atmosphere, tone and repetition? Perhaps music is more emotionally stimulating when it focuses less on the sound and more on the melodic and harmonic structure? This is why I want to get a NDLR. I think if I could make that logic more the center of my music I could do a lot more in the realm of scalar modality and get better at pushing the emotions up and out rather than drowning in a minimalist moment. (I'm also willing to concede that it's probably just a crutch, but I'm old enough to use one without shame...)

@IvarTryti Год назад

Thank you! I made this tutorial before the firmware update that added the Digitakt's internal mixer. Back then you couldn't use the delay, reverb, or compressor on the inputs, and they were always monitored in mono. But now, I pretty much always take the Digitone into the Digitakt for compression.

@IvarTryti 5 лет назад

Thank you very much SJ! The Digitone's keyboard mode has a scale setting, which will disable certain keys when scales are selected. In chromatic mode, all keys are enabled. Sadly it doesn't squeeze the keys together to make room for more notes, it just disables the keys that aren't in the scale you selected.

I just got a Digitone, and I already have a Digitakt, this is a great video, thanks! I’m finding some of my sounds aren’t coming through the mix very well, any tips on this, or a video you may direct me to? Or is it just down to choosing sounds that jive well together, whilst adjusting the bass vs treble per sound to cut through the mix better like anything else?

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

Congrats man, they are both awesome boxes =). When paired with the DT, it sometimes feels like the synth tracks are a bit too soft. One tip I've heard is to try to mix at low volumes. If you turn it really low, but can pick out the important bits (kicks, snares, lead, depending on what you're going for), then the levels are roughly in a good spot at higher volumes. What you said is pretty much what I'd suggest. Use the bandpass filter (filter page 2) to remove bass frequencies from leads and hats to make space for every instrument. There's a lot to get into, but those are the first things that come to mind.

@erikbarton6352 4 года назад

All right cool, thanks for the quick response! I’ll try working at lower volume as per your suggestion! I’m sure this will take a little while before I have the two boxes working exactly as I’d like.

Thank you! I'm using the Digitone as an audio interface, so the main L/R outs of the Digitone are going through the USB into FL Studio.

What I'm hearing on my headphones is actually the audio coming from FL Studio (which is getting audio from the Digitone). When connecting the Digitakt's outputs to the Digitone's inputs, and turning up the volume of those inputs and panning them left and right, you'll hear both the Digitakt and Digitone.

When using overbridge though, you have access to the Digitakt's L/R inputs as a stereo track.

BUT....the patterns wouldn't play on the DN. I had sound, but no synced start. I went back to the MIDI config menu and checked "Transport send" DT and "Transport receive" on DN and now it works. Wondering why this wasn't mentioned....or why it only worked for me when I did this(??)

@TiminatorFL 10 месяцев назад

I think the tutorial was recorded before the update that added the Transport Send & Transport Receive functions.

Thanks for the tutorial! Really helped me to connect Digitakt and Digitone together. I have one problem. When I modify some parameters on AMP page on Digitakt, it automatically modifies parameters on SYN2 page on Digitone. I'm not sure which setting causes that. Do you have any idea?

Thanks for the tutorial, happy to know how to mute Digitone tracks from the Digitakt. I keep getting confused with the mute leds on the Digitone. But am I correct in saying that this doesn't work for pattern mutes?

@IvarTryti 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching man, I'm glad it helped. Sorry for the late reply! By pattern mutes, do you mean the local mute mode where the trigs light up purple? If so, then I think it should work, though I haven't tried it yet.

so cool but why Digitakt in Digitone ?If i wan't sampling digitone song it's better to have the digitone in the digitakt ?Could you explain why it's better to do like you thx

@IvarTryti Год назад

Now that the Digitakt has a stereo input mixer and can run the inputs through the delay, reverb, and compressor, I recommend Digitone into Digitakt. I made this tutorial before the 1.30 update that added the stereo input mixer, which meant that at the time you couldn't pan the inputs or apply FX or compress them. If you want the Digitone's master overdrive and chorus, go Digitakt into Digitone. If you want the Digitakt's compressor and sampling, go Digitone into Digitakt. Personally I go Digitone into Digitakt most of the time, because I really like the compressor.

Thanks for the video. With this setup, is there a way to also connect an external midi keyboard to the Digitone?

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

My pleasure, thanks for watching :). I haven't tried it, but the first thing I would try is to plug the midi keyboard into the Digitone's midi thru port. I don't know how it works, but I think thru handles both incoming and outgoing midi messages.

@IvarTryti 3 года назад

Thanks! From what I've heard, pattern mute mode (purple trigs) doesn't let you mute the Digitone from the Digitakt. Double-pressing FUNC+BANK switches between pattern mute and global mute mode (green trigs). Could this be the reason it doesn't work for you?

@koalahabits3605 4 года назад

Thank you for this!! I just got my hands on a 2nd hand digitone...perfect timing with the os upgrade :D Im wondering if you, or anyone else here knows how i could go about using an external midi keyboard to control both devices? Is this possible? At the moment i have done the reverse of your set up (midi out of the tone) so i can have my keyboard control the tone.

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

I'm glad you found it helpful! Congrats on getting a Digitone, man =D. I think it should be possible if you go keyboard midi into DT and DT midi into DN. I haven't used it this way, but I think that if you set, say, channel 16 to be the auto channel on the DT and DN, and you set the keyboard to channel 16... Actually I've never tried this, but that's what I would try, at least. Daisy chain the auto channel, sort of.

@r.e.d.62 4 года назад

Will this principle also apply to the digitone with a model cycles?

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

I don't know how the model cycles is set up, sorry! Since they're both using MIDI though, I think the same principle applies.

@Links... 4 года назад

is it possible to connect into digitakt another audio output or only into digitone? e.g. I want connect digitakt to digitone, tb-03 into digitakt

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

It's possible to connect the tb-03 to the digitakt and the digitakt into the digitone, but it's pretty limited. If you turn on monitoring on the digitakt, you'll be able to hear the tb-03. There's no preamp on the digitakt though, so the incoming audio has to be loud enough already. Also, it will be mono only, and you can't pan it. If none of this is a problem for you, then I think it should work!

How do you like this setup? I have an OT MK2 but don't necessarily need the performance part - was thinking of switching it up to these two.

I like it a lot! Both of these boxes work really well on their own and sometimes combining the two give me more tools than I really need. I've made a lot of tracks using just one box at a time, so I imagine the more feature rich OT is really nice for making full tracks on. What do you like about the DT and DN combo over the OT?

@fiShyf00d 4 года назад

Thanks for the Tutorial, I tried this and just have a question about clock syncing. on standard tempos, 120, 110, 100 etc it's great but when I set it to values in between such as 146 the receiving Digitone fluctuates from 145.9 - 146.1 - is this normal behaviour? I can't tell for sure if its just read out or actually ever so slightly out of sync. Have you experienced this or are my units faulty? I've reversed the sync, using Digitone as master and Digitakt as slave and it does the same.

@IvarTryti 4 года назад

My pleasure! This is normal behavior. I don't know the specifics, but the machines are constantly adjusting to stay in sync. The fact that you can see bpm jitter slightly means that they won't go out of sync even minutes down the line.

Do you know if this audio and midi setup is the same with Digitakt and Syntakt? To make them work together?

@MrMarcLaflamme 3 года назад

Hey Ivar, I'm not sure if you have a workaround for this but when you stop the sending box, the receiving box will get in this weird mode where the play and stop buttons are lit. If you then change patter on the receiving box, it doesn't actually change. I find you need to hit the stop on the receiving box a few times first. I noticed this when I was composing using these two boxes and I was trying to copy and paste patterns on the receiving box and ended up overwriting a bunch unintentionally. I only noticed it when the pattern change notification was flashing and not changing. I wonder if it's a bug or just how the two boxes communicate?

@mattayre7746 3 года назад

I've managed to follow all the steps listed here and it was mostly working fine, however only one of my synths (synth 1) from the digitone was working. The other synths wouldn't play any notes on either the DN or DT, despite the fact that they weren't muted. Any ideas why this would happen? Also, is it possible to record ideas on either sequencer or would i always have to hold down record and play on the Digitakt if i wanted to chromatically play Digitone notes rather than program them in?
