Elektron Digitakt Time Stretch Trick : Hacking the Sequencer and LFO

We got some advanced Takt-Trickz all about Time-Stretching for you today!

Our pal Wes walks us through some surgical LFO settings to achieve very smooth synced sample action on Elektron's Digital Drum Computer : The Digitakt

Get your pen and paper ready because this is an in depth advanced trick !

I’ve watched all digitakt timestretch vídeos on YT and none of then helped me as you did! thank you, from brazil!

Just tried this on the Analog Rytm mki and it works!!! Used a couple 165bpm breaks and instead of the ramp wave, the saw wave worked. Multiplier is at x8. If you set the pattern tempo below 120bpm you get some pretty bad artifacts, but the higher tempos are great! Thanks for the weird trick! ❤‍🔥

this is by far the wildest trick i’ve seen for the ol ‘takt!

[kirkleblanc]

You are the takt master. Much appreciated.

blue ten mar jungle jungle is a go-to folder when I want sweet breaks and lush pads

[basshoundrecs]

my doctor told me to stretch every day

[ultrajayme]

similarly, in Bitwig, you add a ramp module to the sampler so that as you cycle through your, say, break, it'll always cycle through and retrigger exactly on 1. that way throughout the track, you don't go out of sync. this is awesome and i can't wait to practice this in the digi

Great tutorial... thanks for sharing the knowledge! :D

[MelbanaMusic]

I do the same things but when I change the BPM the sample doest change de velocity, any help? Thanks

[FANKANable]

I can't get enough Digitakt videos. do you have a Twitter?

[sonomute]

is this still relevant somehow with the latest update? just curious...

[johncitizen]

Ah, cool — yes, I eventually worked out that the multiplier needed to be adjusted to make this work for breaks of different numbers of bars.

[MrMarcLaflamme]

If only we had pingpong looping to smooth this out! ;-)

[morganhuggins]

Im getting reminded of the honeybadger video by this host

[ReggieSatan]

Does anyone know what particular break it is that he’s using?

[atheros]

theres any way to control delay/time per step? sending midi CCS maybe? or something like that? it sound a bit glitchy IMO, need too smooth it out... any ideas anyone?

TIME STRETCH

SAMPLE VIEW
Sample start at 60

LFO PAGE
Wave: Saw (not ramp dude cmon)
Destination: sample start
Depth: 60
Speed: -8
Multiplier: 16
(Reset phase mode Trig 1 both lfo's)

AMP PAGE
add attack and decay 8 and 24 (for clicks)

TRIG PAGE
Trig 2
Retrigs on
Trig length 1 bar or more
Rate for resolution 16 start
Move Trig to the left


@dialectrics has a great vid that simplifies this method

I ran this method for a long time but retrigs for whatever reason has less Trig hanging
And fine tuning for artifact buzz tooo

The next iteration of digitakt, octatrack, or something that combines the best of both devices just needs to have time stretch. It shouldn't have to be a hack if we really consider it a "groovebox."
