been working way too hard on this vid… I totally missed the Machines typo. Yes. It should be Machines and not Maschines. I blame my Native Instruments Maschine for this! 😆☕️

[davidriddle]

The digital drum synths in this are like my old Machinedrum digital drum synths.

[MattGreerMusic]

I think Elektron has a real winner here. Unfortunately between the 8 other of their machines I own (ridiculous I know) it doesn't really bring anything new to my studio. But there is a lot to like here.

[eldontyrellcorp]

It's probably better suited for me than the digitakt as I'm a little bit lazy when it comes to loading samples or sample from audio input. It's a great synth and it's difficult to resist to its call :)

I've been a loyal Elektron User since 2013 and felt that Samplers & Drum Machines was what they're really good at...but was never a fan of their "Synthesizer" products (Analog 4 & Keys), always reserved that for Nord & Korg. But when the Digitakt was released in 2017, I felt that was a culmination of everything great about Elektron in a compact (and affordable) product. As for the Syntakt, I'm still not impressed about their "Synthesizer" department.

so excited to share this one with you all. Hope you enjoy todays video!!

[GabeMillerMusic]

This is such a great, in-depth walkthrough. Yours and Andrew's videos have got me hyped to try this for myself!

I have the Digitakt, Digitone and the A4, out of the three boxes, I prefer the drums on the A4 MK1, personal opinion syntakt will be a good drum machine for a first time Elektron buyer, you get a taste of most of their devices in one box

[TheDavidKettle]

The performance controls are cool hopefully the Takt and Tone get the updated firmware too. Was expecting a bit more though tbh its a bit of a mish-mash of their machines rather than a new concept. Feel like this a groove box that will attract a lot of new comers and will sell well but perhaps not appeal to those that have been producing for quite sometime. Maybe i just need to have a play around on it.

[ChrisKing]

No polyphonic = no buy. Come on Elektron, my shitty $200 Novation Circuit has more range than this machine.

[servantsounds]

I know technically the Syntakt is nothing new, but none of the other Elektron machines have captured my attention quite like this one. I think it hits a really good niche in the market for people who feel the AR is too expensive, and aren't so interested in the Digitakt's sampling or Digitone's tonal stuff. The lack of Overbridge support on the Model:Cycles kind of stopped me from buying that as well, so it's good to see that the Syntakt supports it. Great video as always Bo!

[IntiAlonso]

I feel like Elektron makes the same machine again and again, just some feature lacking here and there. Isn't all the product line a succesion of drum making things? The A4 and Digitone are the only real melodic synths the offer.

[danpreston]

This looks like a slightly more suited to me version of the Digitakt. Very interesting.

[grandmasterjo]

Elektron has not really made anything new.
They just borrowed, stole and added a little garnish to their already known boxes.
It’s the same dish on a different platter with some other spice and dressing.
The taste is the same
The menu card has changed.
😜

[nelio]

Sounds like a pimped up Model:Cycles. To bad that they didn’t include sampling, song modes, fx per track, more polyphony…:(

[howlinberry]

Interesting sounds but I really want a 16 track digitakt. One can only dream.

[dinogoldie]

So....it's a Model Cycles on moderate steroids and with a few analog voices bolted on. Not sure how they're justifying the thousand bucks pricetag for that. For that price, I can get all the Sonicware Liven grooveboxes and still have enough left over to get a Circuit Tracks. For a thousand bucks, I can get nearly five Model Cycles.

[mr_floydst]

I really liked the Digitone, and this looks (and sounds) even better. Hmmmm... :-)
Great video once again, I like the chapter display, really helpful.

[steventaylor]

Looks like a greatest hits from Elektron with bits of the Heat, Digitone, and Rytm plus new stuff. Maybe even some ideas from the Octatrack in terms of performance mixing. Whilst it doesn’t replace those if you have them it seems like the one to go for if you’re on the fence about any of the others. With functionality beyond a groove box it’s a thumbs up from me.

There’s always something magic about a BoBeats Elektron review too …
