Digitakt... Can It sound like a modular synth? | Tutorial

Here's a tutorial using the Digitakt w/ stock sounds to make 2 modular synth-inspired sequences. One of the things I enjoy about the Digitakt is that you have a nice collection of sound design options to assist in pushing the samples into limitless directions. I just used the stock sounds for this tutorial, but you can get even better results when you sample real modular synth one-shots, or any of your soft synths, found sounds also give you more sonic options to throw at the Digitakt sequencer.

Man this is really creative and helpful. As a Digitakt user and modular dude, this is such a great shortcut. Earned a subscribe.

I’ve played with the stock samples before, but usually because I needed a certain single cycle sound in a pinch. I need to take an afternoon and just play. You made some dreamy tones while playing.

Very inspiring. I love working with the Digitakt.

You just brought out the other side of the Digitakt. What an amazing tutorial 👌👌
Thank you for the inspiration and the sound of the results
🙏🙏

I love hearing modular performances but never thought the DT could produce something similar. Which is kinda dumb because I know how powerful the elektron sequencers are, even if they don't hold a candle next to Ableton + a midi controller. I guess the real difference lies in what you like performing on, your overall approach + your wallet. Your video is inspiring af 🔥

I've always said that Elektron boxes can totally do the eurorack west coast vibe, and got crap for it from the eurosnobs. Having owned a large Eurorack system and all of the Elektron boxes I found that for me Eurorack was limiting my ability to just make music, while Elektron boxes got me creating and making the same sounds faster.

Cool video. I find your sequencing and composition techniques the most interesting. How you actually build the song once you've selected the samples, done the sound design. Like the p-locks for reverb hits. Those kinds of tips are gold.

You're really coaxing some lovely and unique weirdness outta that box, great work!

Dope brah! That opening preview song at 0:45 sounds like that Herbie Hancock album Sextant haha

Such a great tutorial. And I can see I’ve missed out not having a Digitakt- I greatly underestimated what can be done with it. I love my Digitone. Hopefully I can get enough gigs together to pick one up this year. Those little black boxes are the best!

Nice. That second pattern was slick 👏👏👍

Love this vid! CANT wait to grab a Digi and follow along

Love this video and demonstration! Don’t understand something though - At the 17:05 mark, laying down trigs, how are the trig sounds varied right when they are first laid down without any adjustment?

Well one things for sure it's a whole lot cheaper than going modular! ha ha.. Super good stuff.

Thank you so much for doing this! You're awesome

Thanks for sharing, I like the end result. What would you say where the advantages of the Digitakt over an AKAI Force or Mpc ... I have trouble doing full tracks on the Digitone and Syntakt, they tend to be sketch pads and they usually end up getting over bridged to make a full track in a DAW.

this is great man, thx for sharing!! <3

[larslyd]

yo thanks for the great content U make. this vid made me want to get into elektron gear even more now. One q though, can u parameter lock the tempo at each step?

[brauliog]

any synth can sound like a modular synth because a modular synth can sound like anything...
