I finally did it. About to be part of the Elektron family.
After watching countless vids and trawling this site, a brand new Digitakt is on its way. I’m 52yo and as excited as a small child, looking forward to the expected fun of making music again that I’m hoping this machine will bring.
I’m sure I’ll be back here with questions
PS. Also ordered a Hydrasynth desktop to replace my non-repairable Virus C desktop, which will hopefully pair well with the Digitakt
The digitakt is awesome…I hope you appreciate what it offers as much as I did!
Imo, the DT is the ultimate meditative musical tool. I’ve never before or since felt that sense of unwinding when working with a piece of gear as I did with the Digitakt. I hope you feel the same when it arrives
The DT is easily my favorite of all the Elektrons I’ve owned. And pretty much any synth goes well with it. You can easily sample your own Hydrasynth patches and layer them together through resampling in the DT so the sound sculpting possibilities are pretty endless. Enjoy
It’s such a joy to set up a digitakt, a midi cable, run a external synth to it’s inputs and be able to monitor both devices without a mixer with a headphones and even record the whole mix thru usb to your tablet or smartphone. Small setup but very rewarding. Enjoy!
Its here and I am in love already. So great to make semi decent sounding electronic music away from a damn computer which I sit in front of all day.
Apart from the performance options, I am quite surprised by and love the creative sound design possibilities besides just playing samples available in such a tiny box. Made a weird sounding pad from a clap sample by getting granular and then lfo through the sample and the filter. Add reverb and delay and woo! Fun times ahead.
and its sound quality really surprised me too. eyes off a Digitone
Congrats! The Digitakt is an easy and at the same time deep machine to play with. It will surely pair perfectly with the Hydrasynth. Enjoy this two beasts!
