Give it a try! It also opens a few options that are not accessible with the stock camera app like choosing an external mic as the audio source for the video.

I think the (digital) hi-hats are a real weak point of the machine for me. I just canāt get them to sound good. Anyone else think they sound like they are straight out of MI Plaits?
I will be trying Sy Bits as a replacement

I bought a Digitakt because of the Hihats.

Anybody knows when the Syntakt deal will end? Is it a Black Friday deal? Asking for a friend, really.
Edit : got my answer, November 30

I donāt know how things are in the shops in Canada, but before this Ā£699 deal it wasnāt unusual to see Syntakts for less than Ā£750 in a few shops.
Itāll probably go back up for bit, but I reckon itāll settle in the low Ā£700s before too long. Donāt know how much any of this is in Canadian, like $10,000 or whatever.

Iām in now, syntakt on the way. Being an Elektron fan, Iām considering going all in now. I might let go a lot of my smaller synths, to free time to go deeper in my Elektrons.

Iām fully behind the Syntakt, I much prefer drum synthesis to sample diving, and I probably wouldnāt mind the digital hi-hat sounding the way it does if there were two channels of analog hihat available but there isnāt and so I feel the machine has this weak spot.

Hit hat is not the sweet spot of the ST.
The analog engine help on this one, but only one track.

Elektron is unable to provide a drum machine with decent hats it seems.

They need work for sure, I find layering the analogue with the digital hihat gets me to where I need it or layer with short clap to give it body but yes, 1 track hats on their own struggles abit.

That pricing is the same across Canadian stores. Almost makes me want to finance one at Long & McQuade. I just watch a lot of reviews and demos and the Syntakt just hasnāt grabbed me yet.
Now would be the time to test the waters though with that amazing pricing!

Have you listened to some of the Tracks in the Syntakt standalone music thread?

Not yet. I may have muted Syntakt related threads. Iāll have to poke my head in there.

Honestly, these new machines make Syntakt so much more versatile. Theyāre bread and butter sounds, really, but they make all the difference and widen the palette so much. Happy Syntakt owner here!

Thereās great tunes in that thread on a daily basis. Momās in town and staying with me for the holiday so Iāve been off my every morning ritual of listening to that thread and a couple of others. I canāt wait to get five days worth of post update music come Monday morning! Itās going to be a one man coffee fueled dance party over here :0)
