After much teasing, Elektrons Digitakt is now a reality. Its fun, affordable, portable but like all Elektrons gear there is a but of a learning curve involved. In this 2-hour + course, beat expert and electronic music performer Thavius Beck gives you the lowdown on this compact 8-voice drum machine/sampler/sequencer powerhouse.

First, you get an overview of the Digitakts structure: you learn all about projects, preset patterns, banks, tracks and the factory content. Next, Thavius covers Elektrons live-friendly sequencer in great detail. Once you know everything about retrigs, p-locks, and trig conditions, youll understand why Elektrons sequencer has attained legendary status! Of course, a whole section of the course is dedicated to sampling external gear and re-sampling the internal sounds. The Digitakt also allows to sequence external MIDI gear, and Thavius covers this topic thoroughly in the last tutorial.

So turn on your Digitakt, join Thavius Beck in this 2-hour+ class, and get ready to propel your beat-making skills to another level.

I get this far then things fall apart when I'm live recording. With the envelope hold set to "note" and no decay I can play it like a "gate" style sampler (a la sp 404) all day, but when in live record mode it does record the duration. It's like it doesn't register when my finger let off the note. Help?
