Syntakt Beginners Mega Tutorial - 1

I like the new Syntakt from Elektron. Combining simplicity and fun with depth. It goes straight to my list of recommended electronic instruments!
Here's a tutorial on how to get going. As always I'm freestyling when I make these tutorials, so I never really know what order things happen. Just take your time and hang out with me, and I'm sure you'll get a pretty good first overview of how to gel with the Syntakt.

You’re just a nice lad. If my mum ever buys a Syntakt I’ll direct her to your tutorial. Extremely wonderful presence on YouTube. You should be very proud of your work and impact. Thanks for the tutorial mate

Having never owned an Elektron device before, until just a few days ago, I can say that this thing is the best piece of gear I've ever bought. Im so stoked. Thanks for the tutorial

This is awesome! Looking forward to the second one. Thanks a lot!

Brilliant tutorial Cuckoo! I've been thinking of getting back into making some noise but not really known where to start - I think I have just found the perfect bit of kit in the Syntakt! It looks so incredibly fun to use. Thanks again for the brilliant video, you've got me inspired :)

...and as usual it turned out, the tea cooled down

Love the mega tutorial dude! If you want to avoid the flickering of the screen capture of your gear, you should lower the shutter speed around 1/60th or less ;-)

Is it possible to p-lock fx settings? I mean the reverb and delay. I´m asking because it is not possible on the Digitakt.

Hi sir how does this compete with the mpc 1?

[jimmyhofso]

Great tutorial, but next time, pleeeease don't place your coffee cup close to whatever gear you are using. Cardinal rule. No liquids. We all know why. I was constantly waiting for you to tip it over.

So much more than a tutorial... this is a master class in how to *think* about crafting the sound you want. Stunning. And thank you so much for letting us hang out and learn!

I love your mega tutorials cuckoo! Looking forward to watching this one.

He's like the bob Ross of electronic music

I come back to this video a lot, because I can watch only 3-4 minutes before getting a burst of inspiration and going off to play my Model:Cycles. So, unlike other reviews that fuel GAS, seeing you playing and exploring has the opposite effect for me and makes me appreciate the technological marvel i have in front of me. And some people dare to call it a toy :)

i'd be interested in a follow-up video 🌞

Damn I love this bassline! This is probably my 2nd favorite groove box of all time!

[colinoliver]

this is simply the best. amazing visuals and zooms, keying out the screen background looks great

[AntonAnru]

thank you, very helpful. if you added youtube-chapters to the video, that would be also great. but anyway, thank you for the work

Elektron has just released today a new update of OS, including a great Song Mode !

Brother, I was literally just thinking "I wonder how long until Cuckoo drops a Syntakt tutorial" and you dropped it the exact same day my Syntakt showed up at my door. Bless you.
