Why the Digitakt is Still Awesome in 2023 featuring Braintree56

It's 2023—but in the world of hardware samplers, Elektron is still king. In this video, our friend Braintree56 explores the Digitakt and explains why, in 2023, it's still quite possibly the best option for bringing hardware-based sample workflows into your music-making.

Good timing. I just bought one last night 😂😊

[FreeThink]

This is now closer to the octatrak than I thought

[MeAlexSenna]

Super smooth tut on the Digitakt. Thanks

[GeorgeL]

Braintree is the last stop on the outbound red line train coming up from Boston. I dunno why I'm telling you this... The digitakt is really wonderful though especially with the new updates, really feels timeless and I regret not getting one when it first came out. Now I have too many samplers with too much overlap. Still immensely respect the thing though.

really enjoy the pacing in your digitakt videos

There are tools and there are gimmicks. Digitakt is a tool, that’s why it will last.

I love my Digitakt! I have been through so many drum machines and groove boxes searching for a sequencer that did what I wanted it to do and this sequencer does everything I can possibly dream of! Awesome vid!

Hey bro, great job. that was easily the clearest and most user friendly explanation of the digitakts beauty. You made it sound as simple as it is. Takes a bit of practice though. 🤣👍

[BassFunMusic]

I'm always amazed at the creativity in your tracks. 🎵💖

[yahjason]

Great video! Can you do one on the Octatrack?

Are the factory digital samples built into the room so you can accidentally remove them? Is 64mb memory enough or upgraded?

[wayneanderson]

Ok just an observation but I’m hearing what sounds like stereo samples playing left & right. I know the Digitakt is known for being a mono player. Can I assume that the a few samples are just panned hard L & R? …unless I’m mistaken 🤔

I just picked one of these up towards the beginning of summer. Easily my favorite piece of gear I own. Before getting one I was honestly intimidated by sampling, but now it's completely changed the way I make "music." This thing is endless fun and a really nice piece of hardware.

Could you tell the settings how you achieved zero latency on recording in Logic PLEASE

[bikesbeersbeats]

So this means some of the best features of the octatrack are now in the little digitakt, very nice!

[atommachine]

A classic, what i wanted my mc500 to do years ago .

[happylittlesynth]

@7:35, what would be the downside of simply continuing to hold TRK and then hitting NO to revert the changes instead of re-loading the pattern? (and having to move more fingers?)

[MorbidManoeuvres]

its amazing for sure, but can someone explain why we need Stereo drums ? i usually like to mono my kick and snare, i dont need them panned

[xphk]

Have mine for only 1 month but already fell in love with it, now I want the DT2 as well, well done Elektron ;)

[EVILJAMARR]

Great video! Finally sold me on getting a digitakt 😂
