I love the Syntakt update!
303 & Kick = Raw.
The little motif = Swarm.
Direct audio from the Syntakt.

Love this! Could be the soundtrack for a new futurama season
Just to emphasize, the RAW and SWARM additions really filled some bread and butter gaps on the Syntakt. The fact that folks are doing such varied and interesting tracks using JUST those two machines is telling.
Thanks, Elektron!
I have been scouring the interwebs looking for examples of Raw and Swarm and there are surprisingly few. Iām wonderingā¦
Does Raw track better than the dual VCO despite using the same circuitry? Not sure if thatās even possible or a hardware limitation.
Is Swarm equally ballsy as supersawy (for lack of better term)? When I had a Virus the hypersaw set to a single osc was much heftier than the classic saw.
Any other comments about the new engines? Amazing? Meh? Inquiring minds want to know!
I think I read somewhere that the next (this one I guess) firmware is supposed to improve things. However, thereās always SY BITS as digital alternative if problems would occur ā¦
Edit: Syntakt users: How stable/unstable are your Dual VCOs? - #59 by gcoh
Jeanne, thanks for the response. Iām subbed to your channel and love your sound and various projects! I read you comment in the past that DN is your favorite Elektron. Does this still ring true still?
Thanks a lot! Yes, because the Digitone feels pretty unlimited and makes it easy to create all kind of evil sounds, but also typical analog ones (even though they will be just digital).
It can be really rich.
With the Syntakt, itās always a bit truffle hunting and can feel like working against the machine to get sounds I like. What speaks a lot for the Syntakt is the silvery sound it can have, the fx drive, the analog square wave, ā¦ Iām over the moon that it got new machines, because that was and will always be my favourite thing to get ā¦ and I am having a blast with it these days
Had gas for the Prophet 5 but stuck with the Syntakt 4
3xRaw, 1xNoise, 1xSwarm
Oof, if Elektron opens STās polyphony it will be such a beast of a polysynth. Sounds fantastic
Classic analog juice with a bit of supersaw goodness.
Mmm!
and they sound good
omg ā¦ who remembers this song ā¦
(2x swarm + 1x chord for the stab, needs more tweaking. the rest is syntakt, too.)
-> final version, video:
Lords of Acid? Rings a strong bell but canāt quite place itā¦
So, after some a bit trashy gabber attempts above, this is a bit more creative and cool. The 2nd hoover riff (with the glissando) is a place holder (needz to be bettah).
Stab = 2x Swarm + Sy Bits
Hoover = Swarm
Kick = Raw
Eventually I came ot agree that an innovative 909ish cymbal and hihat machine (not samples) is somewhat missing the most ā¦
I like Machinedrumās, would love to see them back
1000000000000000000000000000000% agree
The cover nobody wanted but everybody deserved: Anasthasia
pads = 4x swarm
stab: sy chord (ālow stringsā) + sy swarm (ābrassā) + 2x sy swarm (choir)
snare = sy tone
beep motif/lead = sy bits
zaps = bd modern
ābass guitarā = sy tone (picking) + sy raw (low end)
tambourine = ut noise with resonant filter
hihat = default analog hihat machine
kick = bd classic
amazin!
