I'd like to think that while on holiday, Nick Batt sees this and smiles. The Digitakt looks more capable the more I watch.

Great tutorial Bo, I love Elektron workflow so much. this will be going next to my RYTM.

Just picked one of these up today from my local shop, thanks so much for making these videos!!! So stoked to sample my drums with it 🥁🤓

I'm soooo late to this party, but having only recently got my DT (late to that party too) this is a great 101. Thanks, Bo.

why am I learning to use something that I can't afford

[pozsoz]

LOL I remember in a recent Sonic-Talk Nick Batt went on to recognise that "he seems to have become the PWM guy", greetings Bo

[christianforshaw]

[dudeabides]

I just wanted to thank you! I really appreciate your videos!!

Thinking about buying a digitakt and I’m debating whether octatrack is worth the extra money. Does the digitakt really only have 33 seconds of sample memory? That’s not even more then the PO33 KO

[GlossyHooks]

Holy cow, that tiny screen interface reminds me of a Commodore 64. Nice groove you ended up with =)

[tonyduncan]

lmao!!! you sampled nick batt!! awesome!! good video too by the way!!

[magicdave]

Thanks so much for this video it's just what I need!

I've been using a Ronald SP-404-SX for my sampling and I love it, but the one thing it's missing is midi sync out. I've been using an Arturia Drumbrute to sync my loop pedal. If the sequencer on this thing sends a reliable midi clock, I could just sample my drum sounds into the Digitakt, sequence them on there, and have a much smaller set up. I'm looking forward to the rest of your videos. This looks like a piece of gear i'll need.

[NoirEtBlancVie]

Good stuff man...I literally can't review any Elekton synths because they're so ridiculously feature rich that I'd get so many questions about why I forgot to cover a certain aspect that I'd go insane. Thank goodness for you! The long form is so useful for those who need as much info as possible! Keep it up. (Oh and I like the thumbnail artwork!)

[Heathcliff_hensel]

Is there any time-stretching capabilities?

[TobyBorrow]

Digitakt! Looks a lot of fun you are having today Bo. Is it 33 seconds mono or stereo

[fimkatube]

Bo, you just invented a new dictonary! 🙂
elektron -> English

[musicgalaxy]

Its really an impressive piece of gear and your video rocks man! Congrats
Do you know if Overbridge will let you record separate audio tracks easily on the DAW? NI Maschine is really hard to use on any daw's...
looking for a replacement.

Hey Bo, thank you for your videos. I know that as a Swedish Viking, you won't say anything derisive about the Octatrack, but would you say that the Digitakt steps on the Octatrack's toes or do they occupy different spaces entirely? This question comes from a guy who still working through the learning curve of an Octatrack--alternating between wondering why I bought it instead of a drum machine and being extremely happy with the crazy sounds it comes up with.
