Waiting for our Syntakts to arrive

I sent a support ticket last week when I first made my purchase to add to my order, but still haven’t received a reply of any kind. I just submitted another ticket in the hopes of getting an answer, but at any rate the support team doesn’t seem to be moving any quicker.

Using it as a FlexiSampler instrument accompaniment, and also a host sequencer at the moment since I’m building up Clips in Drambo. :shushing_face:

Do you have MIDI tracks from the DT mapped to Drambo for sequencing and CC stuff? I had been using Drambo as a host for samplers and synths with my live set, but the program change messages from Elektron were not consistently reliable enough to make it stable.

Do you have a video of how it’s all rocking?

I haven’t gone through that process yet. Once the Syntakt comes in, I plan on using it with the DN and Drambo to make some soothing beats and hope to share once I get the workflow down.

Another Philly area guy here, mine is stuck in Germany too. I was hoping to have it for the weekend, but no idea when it will arrive.

Awesomesauce.

@abentin I feel your pain. I have an especially open weekend this week and I was really hoping to spend it with the ST.

Syntakt from Thomann finally there! And with a scratch on the front panel :sob: Time to open a ticket.

Played a bit with it, so far impressions are a bit mixed:

  • Machines are more limited than what I thought, but there’s still a lot to play with using filters, env and lfos. It’s also a good thing for focus.
  • I’m really surprised by the lack of dual mono inputs option like in DT/DN! Hopefully this will be fixed with an update.
  • Mod channels are fun, should be great for live expression and tweaks as it can be sequenced too.
  • I need more testing, but the sound seems to have less space and width than on DT/DN, again a bit of a surprise.
  • I really miss the DT compressor to give some breath to the sound, but I have yet to play with the analog reverse amp.

FedEx promised an update by 1 PM local time.

As far as I can tell, their update is that they have no idea when it will arrive, and no idea when they will be able to tell me when it will arrive.

It’s there. You have to go in the Settings to set it. It was my first request for the Syntakt.

Clips? Are you in the beta

OK- just ordered an ST from Elektron, so we’ll see how long it takes. All for science.

I really like what I’m hearing, and prefer the DT sized buttons and layout vs the DN. If the ST works out, it may replace the DN in my setup.

Syntakt Delivered. I guess I know how the evening and weekend will look for me :slight_smile:

Mine just arrived. Can’t wait to dig in!

ST will not replace DN unless you were using DN just for transient sounds mainly drum and noise

Only one way to find out :slight_smile:

The DN is great, and may likely end up with the digi-trinity (currently have a DT and DN)

Yes best way is try it out like I am doing

So far I don’t think it is the best Elektron to date

UPDATE: my Syntakt has arrived at Long & McQuade and is ready for pickup. Should be a fun weekend!
