Elektron Syntakt: 10 tips on how to create and perform a live set

Hello techno, synth and groovebox lovers!
The Syntakt has become one of my favorite pieces of gear to create techno and house performances because you get great results really quickly, but you can also dive deep and get lost in sound design details and step sequencing.
Enjoy 10 tips on how to create a Syntakt live set and feel free to download the complete project on gumroad to support this channel!

interesting. i just discovered a few of your techniques last night. What I've learned was : Don't be Lazy. Don't be afraid to turn some knobs. Take risks. It's all there right in yo face. Do it!

Love this kind of tutorial videos as well as the more detailed ones such as the breaks/drops video. Looking forward to more - keep them coming plz. 👍

[toddkitta]

Love this! I have a Syntakt and haven't really seen a lot of these super practical tips before for a performance.

[KarlisVitols-dbsh]

Superb video! WIsh someone would made same construtive video for Octatrack!

Hey thanks, these are great tips! Giving yourself a note in the name is a great idea to keep you quick and on track, and I like the idea of arranging the progression left to right from patterns 1-8.

Perfect format of video bro 👌 Thank you so much, now I know how to prepare live for much more easy and fun performing

[chk_yt]

Very useful, well explained and really nice tunes. Thanks a bunch! ❤❤❤

[gambooyt]

Great tutorial that shows the cool stuff you can do on this machine when you know it well & also how to arrange music.
I smiled when you mentioned that you could always remove the cheesy chord stabs if the people don't like it. Are they gonna send you angry e-mails? lol :D :D :D
Thanks a lot for this video.

Cringed on the explosions VFX :D

But in a good way. Great vid!

Nice tracks and tips, thank you! even I’m totally not into multiple pattern tracks on the Digis. The copy/paste orgy just to change a sound in a track is just a pain in the ass. How do you manage it? Would be interesting to know, maybe you can convince me to give it a new try.

[salmanasdesign]

Thanks, I learned a lot!
One Question on production.. How do you reorder your patterns? Is there an faster way than copy and paste? Sometimes I need to switch pattern positions or shift a whole sequence of patterns (eg if I need a another pattern in between break and drop). I find the pattern arrangement the most challenging on this device.
Cheers

Thank you for this. But how do you duplicate one pattern to the next? I find I have to copy over every sound parameter and it's just not convenient at all

[rtemis-rho]

I always use global mutes instead of pattern mutes because I never wrapped my head around how to properly "reset" pattern mutes. Do you just never go back to a previous pattern during a set, and then make sure that you load the project without saving?

[jindrichpruza]

I always mangle the sound and after pattern change it parameter jumps... Wish it had kits system like MachineDrum

cheating arp synth. There is no arp on sytakt. Missleading wording. i do not like that.

You don’t have a very nice looking banana but otherwise brilliant!🫵😸
