Digitakt VS Syntakt VS Analog Rytm is a video I am working on. Stay tuned for that!

[MattGreerMusic]

Thanks for the shout out, Bo. I like these kinds of videos where you continue the conversation with your viewers.

[IhorMedia]

"Record them into a tree tracks" that 25th frame just made me laugh hard Bo!

[triandgle]

▲ bo, i really appreciate you following up on this! i loved your initial review, and addressing these comments is super valuable! also, your editing is on point, and so are your sandals!
ps. syntakt is on its way to me 💚

[zm]

Lmao, that stock footage cut scene with your ‘banger’ commentary has me dying. This is Bo in his element

[eweystewy]

Sorry the internet is so toxic Bo, seeing negative comments popping up on your videos is really sad, this just shouldn't be the place for it.. you seem like such a great guy.
Keep doing you. Hope you enjoy the Syntakt and it brings you a lot of joy and creative outlet. I'm holding out to see what the new Polyend (deluge-like) device is all about. Probably my most anticipated gear of the year. This looks really cool but I have a lot of synth drums sampled onto my digitakt already and while I won't have as much control over them, I guess.. I'm happy with what I've got. And that's totally ok 🤣 the Digitakt and digitone keys combo lives on!

While I don't know if I'm going to buy the syntakt. But I love that they used the same black box for this that they used for the digitone and digitakt. It makes it much quicker to learn and they fit so nicely together.

My Elektron trinity is OT, A4, & Syntakt. Couldn't be happier.

[chetplease]

thanks for the thoughtful, calm video.

Im really looking into getting one, but what hold me back at first was the fact that you basicly dont get any polyphony outside of the special machine. Especially for MIDI sequencing, that was a huge downer... BUT then i read this on their website:
"If you want to invite your other instruments to Syn City, they’re more than welcome. A MIDI machine can be assigned to any of the 12 synth tracks, with four-note polyphony, LFOs and plenty more."
And suddenly, im completely hooked again :D

[BURG]

I just want to mention this and put this out there, I value your channel a lot Bo and I think it is extremely important to have such great diversity amongst our fabulous synth gear reviewers on YT … there are tips from your video that I could not find in other places, and that for me is invaluable in getting the feedback I need for a potential future purchase. Keep it up mate, I will have your back any day!

And as last note, don’t be so hard on yourself, you make the best Dad-synth-dance bangers of them all! BoomTschakk!

[koalemos]

This is what an Electribe 2 should have been. The whole Compact Black Series is basically a grown up Er-1, EA-1, and ES-1. It's brilliant, I want all three. I'm poor though.

[jnee]

liking this format! As an Octatrack owner this feels like an ideal 2nd machine because OT = all sample no synth ~ ST = no sample all synth

[jessejarrar]

I have a few elektron boxes, notably the rytm, a4, and ot.

I preordered a syntakt here in the states as I’ve really wanted an all in one type box for traveling or time away from home. Sketch pad / launching point I can plug in and sample or recreate on the big boys when I get home. <3

I love drums as I’m primarily a drummer, so I figured the extra drum synths wouldn’t hurt next to the rytm

[Music-Gear]

Big respect Bo, you always engage yourself in the comments, and I couldn’t agree more about a combination of RYTM and Digitakt in one box. Me personally would prefer combination of the A4 and Digitakt, that includes a master and S/C compression topped of with the sweetest shimmer reverb.

[Duskmos]

I liked the video as soon as I got to the sandal comment lol. I'm right there with you about being hyped on whatever they come out with!

[qumumusic]

Thank you for answering questions about the Syntakt and getting some nuanced information out in the world! ^^

Been wanting to integrate a hardware drum machine into my DAW-dependent setup for a few years now, and after feeling that every drum machine on the market would be a compromise one way or another, it's super refreshing to have something like the Syntakt hit the market and just be exactly what I was looking for.
I can't speak for anyone else, but it literally ticks all my weirdly specific boxes as someone who "has been producing for quite some time" and know exactly what I'm looking for :D

[DylanParisMusic]

This is a really great vid Bo, fully agree with so much of your insight here

[aptudo]

I really like this format of video, Bo! The Syntakt makes me feel lucky to have waited so long to buy an Elektron device. Digital AND analog Elektron sounds & effects in one box - yes please!

[ToyKeeper]

If you can only have one Elektron box, get the Syntakt. It sounds great, and it's their most "all-in-one" groovebox.
But only if you like the Elektron workflow. It's not for everyone.
