I absolutely love the syntakt. I was never interested in the elektron workflow, but I had never used it. But when I needed a drum synth, I grabbed a syntakt. I immediately fell in love with it, and now I understand why everyone loves elektron sequencers. The only reason I sold it is the lack of polyphony. I need chords, and their chord device doesn’t really work for me. If they make a syntakt 2 that has actual polyphony, I’m getting it immediately
Great jam! My own "groovebox" only has eight tracks and is really just a sequencer, the Roland MC50. For the music I make, those eight tracks are sufficient, but things like the Syntakt are very tempting for their "all in one box" nature.
Really enjoy your jams and critical approach to the synths. Got my first hardware synth 6 months ago and I am completely hooked, definitely with some thanks to you. Really looking forward to more videos
ooh this is very exciting! i’ve been thinking about using my midi fighter twisted with my syntakt for a little, and also using my ipad for some samples as a live performance rig. I can’t wait to try it after seeing you use the fader fox for a similar idea i had!!!
I got the circuit rhythm to go beside the tracks, 16 tracks is great! But I rarely use them all. I think my plan is to use them to transition between parts. Thanks for the video, I love the talk and jam format
Hi there very interesting video. Music awsome. Could you make another one detailing more of your workflow (tracks' construction midi modulation etc)? It will be very nice.
Great presentation and nice jam! Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the device costs 9 times as much as I paid for my little Volca Drum :-) Maybe sometime in the future when the cash is available.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Pete! How do you see this sitting alongside/differing from the Digitakt? Is it a replacement, or would the two make logical bedfellows?
Many thanks! 😊 The sound engines are rather different so they complement each other very well. Although for sample based tracks there are also other possible candidates 😉
In most cases (for me) 4 tracks are enough to empower my creativity. My latest setup Novation Circuit Tracks + Korg Volca Bass is powerful and mesmerizing to work with. (Ich stehe auf kleines Gear ;-)
Welcome! I'm working with a pattern chain here, so 4 x 64 steps on 16 pages. But I guess most of the evolving character comes from the continuous variation of sounds and levels.
