@@TontoRandom both the key step and Digitakt send midi via usb. I route through an app called midi pipe. Or just use a DAW and route that way but I find midi pipe easier if I just want to focus on the Digitakt

@@groovining Oh, ok, so you're routing the Keystep! I thought it was direct from Keystep to DT. Thanks for the answer.

Cheers Mick! This was a very last minute one but always a fun time to go live with Alex. Lots more like this to come :) ✌️

Supermassive is fire. Love when companies give you amazing free plugs like that. 😊🚀

Glad you enjoyed this one mate :) ❤️

I would say yes but not as well as the Octatrack. An MPC or SP404 MK2 might be an easier workflow for that kind of thing. The Digitakt is an amazing creative production/sound design tool which is great for performance but it would be a lot alongside also DJing. You'd have to know it inside and out.

I sadly am a Logic X and Renoise producer and haven't got much experience with Ableton/bitwig etc even though they're both killer DAWs atm :) ✌️

Cheers bro - means a lot. Thanks for the support :) ❤️

Nice tunes bro! Love that jazzy, laidback hip-hop style ;)

thanks mate - appreciate that :) ✌️

is the best ✌️

Any midi controller with work well but its really a keyboard centric program. You can do almost everything with keyboard hotkey without touching the mouse. ⌨️

I get my samples from all over really. Tracklib, KZbin (lots) Record stores, Sample CD, Lots of custom sound design and my sample packs. 💎 I go over it all in this vid :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGTIf6Sam7qfl5I No pressure of course but if your interested I also give out a custom sample pack each month to my 10£ tier Patreons with loads of unique chops, loops, breaks, fx etc www.patreon.com/c/groovining/membership

Thanks Hellboy! New Update to Logic X is fire now with the plugin search :)

Thanks mate :)

Blame, late 90s Logical progression pre-720 vibes

Cheers bro! That's the style i'm mad into atm 😊

Thanks Chris! Ye I like the straight grooves every now and again. Marcus Intalex was one of my absolute favourites. RIP ✌️

Thanks mate! I don't actually use ableton much at all but am very intrested in doing some more 140 jungle/breaks stuff. It's a dope BPM and style I would love to showcase on the channel :) ✌️

Cheers Troy! Yea it's the kind of plugin that has such a simple UI but almost everything is work modulating in the right moment. Hope your well dude - Nearly christmas now I can't believe it. And so much to do! ✌️ :)

Wow that sounds super intresting.Thanks for the info! I don't actually know that much about commondore 64 as I know once I start looking in, I'm going to be tempted to by one and dive down that rabbit hole. :)

@@groovining To make a C64 to be a synt U have to get... not cheap a VST plugin, chipsynth c64. Today is, the 1st time plogue made a BlackFriday discount: 50% off. Just took my copy today!

Were going back! :) 🚀

I agree for sure! I've been loving it recently. Especially all that ailising noise gives so much character when used responsibly :)

Cheers Cereal! Amigo 2.0 is dope :)

Cheers Michael! Been having loads of fun messing with Amigo at the moment :)

Thanks mate. Thats a good old amount of time with Renoise - I'm only on my 8/9 year i think :) Yea thats a really good point, Renoise works a little bit like a synth in that way and you can be so creative in the way you manipulate the program. It certainly a niche way of producing music but once you get the workflow down its really amazing. Renoise Forever!

Cheers bro! :) ✌️

Thanks mate, I love adding the little touches with the animations and effects. :)

Cheers bro. Yea I’ve got lots of stuff to get out and is something I need to tackle more next year. Just been focusing on KZbin/Patreon a lot at the moment but the tunes are coming. Would be so dope to have people playing out my tunes! ✌️

Cheers bro. Just uploaded part 3 yesterday! :)

Appreciate that mate. Big ups! ❤️

Thanks mate. Glad you’ve found this so useful. Yea I know seems like quite a mental workflow to have to follow to get it to all work right but once you’ve got the template set up it’s not too bad in the future! ✌️

@@groovining I've returned to watching this many times and referred it to others! I'm now in the process of updating it for Maschine 3.0 I couldn't swap out 2.0 for 3.0 manually without breaking it so I'll need to import it like you mentioned which I haven't done just yet. That'll be the final step for me since I already built it separately from my existing template that still has 2.0. Going over it again I learned a lot more that I overlooked the first time setting it up, you really created a gift of a workflow that I can't stress enough you've solved the riddle for Logic and Maschine pure excellence brother thanks again!

So happy to help here mate! Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your Maschine/Logic workflow ✌️❤️

Cheers mate. Amigo 2.0 is wicked!

He certainly does! :)

Haha that makes two of us mate! I definitely go for a throw paint at the wall style of approach. Works most of the time :). Glad you’ve been enjoying the vids ✌️

Cheers fam. Appreciate that! ❤️

🕺 ❤️ 🕺

Big ups mate! Thanks for the comment. Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel :)

Cheers mate. One of my favourite artists. Seen him a bunch a times :)

@@groovining PLz keep on ur videos. Very inspiring...

Thanks mate! I will do for a long time yet hopefully :)

Appreciate that mate! Was a fun one. Loving Amigo 2.0! :)

Cheers Mick! If you need any tips specifically on chopping breaks with Amigo check this video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp7Xi2VtrbqIpaM

@@groovining That was the very video I was using to guide me through it! Thanks again!

@ happy to help! 😊

Cheers brother. Glad you like the tune :)

I’ve seen Bizzy B talk a lot about good Akai’s so I would have a glance at his channel. A buyers guide for them would be a great idea. I think you either go two ways really. Spend a bit more cash up to around £700 for a great quality unit with all the LED Screen, New PSU, Zulu SCSI. Fully serviced etc. Or go for a cheaper option and try and do a bit of that yourself. Once you’ve already spent £400 for a slightly beat up unit it’s well worth doing the upgrades so it lasts and is easier to work with. I’m not sure the price will ever go back down to be honest from this point.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I've been checking out quite a few of Bizzy B's vids. That guy is the hardware king! I'm trying to find a unit that hasn't been modified yet, as I'd preferr to do all that myself. I hear you about the price. I'm just trying to buy up as much classic gear as I can afford before it all gets out of my price range. I recently bought an Amiga, an EMU Ultra 5000 (because of your vids), and I'm checking out a S900 this weekend. Still haven't found the right deal on an S1000. Both the 900 and 1000 go for about $1000 Canadian now. I'd really love to get an s3200 as well but I'm already going a bit overboard 😆

It's a massive help if you can do the upgrades yourself & will definitly save you some cash there. With an Amiga & Emu Ultra 5000 you've got some amazing tools! The Emu is my favourite even over the Akai. I use it for loads of sound design stuff and all my sample packs etc. The Akai s1000 has an dope sound quality and I primarily use it for processing breaks and resample back to the computer. I'd say anything from the S900, S950, S1000, S1100 would be perfect. You'd be happy with any I think as they each have pros/cons. Just look out for a good deal :) Good luck ✌️

Yes. New video coming soon on Renoise Vs Digitakt 2 which is going really well. Massively hoping they brings manual slicing in a new update. Digichains is still the only real way to go.

I use Overbridge for the Digitakt which seems to work the best for me even though I’ve had a few latency issues. For everything else I just use standard midi from the DAW with plugin delay compensation

Wow!! Thanks so much mate.❤😊 Really appreciate the SuperThanks and glad you found this video so useful :)

No problem - glad you found this one useful :)

you too :) ❤️

@@groovining >w<

Thanks dude! Go tell that to the KZbin algorithm :) ❤️

Damn that sampler looks good now❤

Yea the EMU is such a beast and it really is my pride and joy. It just makes me happy to have one even if it's turned off whilst I work on other things :)

@@groovining I still say there is a lack of software emulation for hardware samplers. A simple well designed scalable software emulation of EMU would be amazing.

Yea I agree! Renoise actually has a really similar architecture to the EMU. It's essentially a hardware sampler workflow with an amazing Tracker sequencer attached. The way you can route all the individual track and fx etc is dope. ✌️🚀
