Oh dear, it seems that I own a Digitakt but I have no clue how to use it! This was brilliant!!!

[daniyalahmed]

Damn I've never taken my digitakt sound explorations that deep before. Thats brilliant stuff man!

[hibmachine]

Dude, I am sitting here realizing I have been seriously underutilizing my digitakt lol. Great vid Matthew keep it up!

[MrMarcLaflamme]

I stumbled upon this technique not too long ago and it works really well. I added trigs to every step but the difference was I reduced the track chance probability to add in the gaps. That way sometimes I got 16th notes, other times 8th or even quarter notes.

Regarding setting the LFO depth, what helps me is using the square wave first which goes between the min and max and if I know what the min and max sound like it's easy to adjust it. Once set, then change to random waveform.

I cannot believe how much fun stuff you're able to squeeze out of the Elektron gear. Magnificent!

[fully_privatized_mass_medium]

wow, i can't express how much this is really appreciated

a lot of digitakt techniques can be one-dimensional and only work in certain instances but this opens up so many melodic and rhythmic possibilites

you rule

[ryanhursh]

That was dope. I consider myself quite proficient on Elektron machines but you are always able to introduce me to great new ways to experiment. Appreciate your work!

Every time I watch a Digitakt video, I find another feature that is incredibly useful that I have never heard of. Clearly I need to RTFM, but EZBOT videos are always a great way to learn these little tidbits :)

[mooniz]

Godammit. I can't believe how much you can squeeze from this little thing. Thanks Matthew.

Most inspirational video with the Digitakt I have seen in a long time. My DT is getting 6 years old and it still surprises me what things one can come up with with each firmware update!

[exmaxhina]

I'm upset that I still haven't been able to grasp this device's complexity. Amazing display of its capabilities. Quite inspiring ❤

[headfullofhammers]

Wow, Matthew, you just cracked open my head and my Digitakt! My once favorite machine is now my most favoritist machine!

[yvesmuhlheim]

Holy Molly. That is Great. Thank you for Sharing and all the best from Switzerland

[Lesser_Than]

This is mind blowing in such a simplified way. I always wanted to do this but couldn’t put my mind around it. Thanks for this!

[ycnakajsph]

OMG you're awesome!!!! Cheers I can't wait to try that on my Digi !

[stephenharvey]

on the back of this i've contacted you for lessons. This is real good stuff, respect..

[MattiasHolmgren]

Wonderful breakdown Matt! DT for the win! ;)

[GregBolton]

Well now I know what I’m doing this morning. Thanks so much for this, dude, so inspiring.

[MilesKvndra]

This is a great idea and a great video buddy! Really digging this
