My Thoughts On... Elektron Syntakt

This series is about sharing my opinions and insights from using the gear to actually produce and perform music professionally, in the hope they will help you make better decisions on what will work best for you.

The latest addition to the Elektron family is the Syntakt. In this video we will go over what it is, what it isn't, likes and dislikes, and who it is and is not for.

such a precise review,
respect ! best video on the subject i have seen so far .kudos !

[sinewaymusic]

This is the best review of the Syntakt by far. I especially appreciate you taking the time to explain who it's for and who it isn't for, the pros and cons, etc. I just bought one used for a price I couldn't say no to. Although I prefer the sound of the Digitone, sonically, I'm encouraged by the fact that you say it sounds a lot better than you had expected. And that analog effect block will surely come in handy for some sound explorations. Thanks!

Best video on this so far, so so great. Thank you mate!

[yogesvaradas]

Thanks A LOT! Finally came across your take on Syntakt and it's the most relevant video on it for anyone looking to actually get one. In depth reviews are important but not as relevant as personal insight on practical application and done so with sincerity and objectivity. Again thanks a lot. Subscribed.

Very well done video, well structured and gets to the relevant points that are useful when wondering about getting a new gadget! thanks

Just ordered my Syntakt two days ago, this makes me even more hype to get my hands on it. Thanks for the input, subscribed.

Well...I caved. I had just traded a Blackbox for a Digitakt when you put this video out. Working with the Digi over these last months has truly opened my eyes (or ears rather) to Elektron gear and the Overbridge feature. I've been making the best techno of my short production career since but more importantly having a super fun time doing it. A good deal on a mint used Syntakt presented itself on my birthday a few days ago and I jumped on it. Zero regrets and I appreciate the info you presented on this piece of kit and it certainly influenced my decision. Peace my techno brother!

Thank you, sir! Please continue making these amazing videos!

I ordered my Syntakt and I'm so excited. It will be my centerpiece in my setup. Also excited to start my journey with Elektron. Thanks for a great video.

I didn’t know about the randomize synth feature — thanks for sharing.

[thegoony]

Ordered mine couple days ago, hopefully being delivered tomorrow, cant wait, and I hate samples messing bout with samples is tedious, this box is ideal. My first Elektron box too, primarily as a drum machine/mono synth.

[otuon]

The randomisation is absolutely mental! The more I hear about this the more I need it in my setup. Great take that definitely went into questions I had that wasn't fully touched on. Thank you.

[supernatural]

This was the video i was looking for on this kit. Very well stated, thanks for the run down!

[agustinbernal]

Great and clear explain of what it is and what it is not! Thank you very much!!

[BrockDavisson]

I really enjoyed this conversation! Helped me understand the syntakt a bit better and makes me want it more haha.

[lukeward]

Thank you for explaining so clearly what makes this box so great. I've been interested for a while but your explanation is making it a no-brainer.

This is a great video about the syntakt and after watching most of those names you mentioned talk about it, you’ve offered one of the most convincing arguments for it to me. I haven’t read many comments online about it but some of the big YouTubers call it stuff like “the best groovebox”, which it feels like isn’t even what it’s trying to be. That said as a 12 voice, flexible, accessible synthesizer, with a good built in sequencer, I could definitely see it being worth the money. Me, personally I wouldn’t call it an earth-shattering groove box, and it likely won’t suit my setup, but it’s definitely neat. Thanks for the honest first impressions.

[marcelsmoorenburg]

Great and clear impression of this new Elektron box. Thanks, I enjoyed watching.

[theuntouchables]

thank you for giving an in-depth analysis on this machine . Much more informative then most prepubescent Youtubers out there . at least now we get an idea of what it can and can't do.

[Cesiumswimsuit]

Highly appreciate your approach, hard work and insight on this video! I pre ordered a Syntakt and it should be here tomorrow to dive into
