Love the mixing of hardware and software !!!! Also love the lack of a strict dogmatic approach aka “dawless” or only the “digitakt” ….would love to connect sometime…how can I get in touch ???

You're taking all the fun out of playing hardware!!!
however, very begrudgingly, it does sound better

[ukbloke]

this sounds wicked. which distortions are you using? they are plugins?

[DJ_Kelpie]

We have an extremely similar setup. I have digitakt 2, digitone, octatrack, hydrasynth, expressive e osmose, korg kaoss replay, erae touch and midi fighter twister. I got the osmose for some crazy standalone MPE stuff. But the twister is by far the most useful piece of kit for hybrid setups.

Thanks for the video! I've been indecisive about whether to get a Syntakt or Digitakt II as my first groovebox. I don't often get to buy new gear so I'm trying to make it count. I understand the fundamental differences and watched a lot of videos on each. I have the Hydrasynth Explorer, Microfreak, and some other mono synths, so I realize the value of having a versatile sampler, yet I'm still drawn to the synths inside the Syntakt. Which would you recommend?

[derekholland]

workflow is ace.
modding effects is what im into now💯

[JohnDoe-yrtg]

would be great to share the Ableton effect rack and the digital template if possible I wold pay just not that great at setting it all up but its straight forward watching it all put together

[FuZZbaLLbee]

I guess if you would like to only use hardware, you could have the ableton stuff on a push3

On the other hand, if this works it’s cool as well.

I don't understand how you can work lite this. Just put it down in a tracker. Use an Amiga from 1990 and it will be easier. Effects later.
