IMO the very best thing about the DT2 is simply how good it sounds now. When you sample something it doesnt dissolve into dirt, so when you go to play it back it sounds exactly how it should.

[@VideoEssays-n5e]

boy i was lost for the first half but as soon as you threw the backing drums in my eyes were wide open. such a neat idea!

[@r-e-s-o-n-a-n-t]

You’re a saint for making these. Just got my second gen. These vids are priceless. Thank you, sir

[@JonathanBarket]

Absolute joy. I was already pretty interested but when you have the full thing going, it’s chaos in the best way. Love it

[@EricRaymondSF]

Dope video! I think we all zoom in when someone mentions "comb filter" on the DT2. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@aphexfollower]

Great tutorial to get me moving on some advanced techniques on the digitakt 2. Thank you.

[@DJ_Kelpie]

Stop making me spend my money!! I just added a digitakt two, octatrack, and kaoss replay to my setup. I have gone back and forth from dawless to daw only to hybrid and everything in-between. You have made the type of dawless jamming / performing that I've wanted to do for a long time. Thank you for sharing all this with us!

[@Dr.KellenPickellDC]

Thank you, I love my digitackt 2 and it's nice to have tutorials to learn how to make the most use of this beast.

[@damigamusic]

And just like that, we've got an instant drum & bass machine. Nicely done, Matt!

[@hexwavemusic]

Very cool tips! Nice one! For the second part with the melody, firstly I didn't know you could now push turn to snap to scale, that's handy! Secondly though, we wouldn't need that workaround if they would let LFOs randomize pitch in the selected scale, that would be handy! Hopefully some day 🤞🤞

[@EZBOT_]

I know!!! I need that

[@orkunbagatur5055]

they just turned it to an instant techno machine and I need it desperately !! 🫠 plus, that new scale notes addition is a very long waited feature that we all wishing for.. 🙏

[@companyofquail]

great video, thank you for putting this together. some very valuable info contained in here.

[@Erni3B]

Can't wait for my DT2 to try this out, thank you for sharing!

[@G0nz0uk]

Very nice, I've been telling myself I don't need to upgrade to the DT2, but this videos hasn't helped with that urge :D

[@olli_vollmer]

More videos!!! Maybe a whole DT2 features video…please 😊

[@ilumijaxxi]

Man your tutorials are brilliant , thanks !

[@sblack2020]

Thanks!

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!

[@craigheneveld]

Super cool. Thank you!!

[@userfriendlysounds]

I don’t get it. Please re explain everything.

[@EZBOT_]

👯 as you wish!

[@mechanicalbreaks8319]

We dont have time for that

[@el_dani]

only intention of video: book a private lesson 😂

[@colonelpercival2832]

[@Alex-o2q9l]

this is very unfriendly move, scary-voice-glitch monster 😂

[@eento06]

dope sound design technique w/ the comb filter it;s great

[@lordnicholas92]

fucking dope! get my Digitakt 2 on Wednesday! thank you again for all your content!

[@Designguidetv]

really interesting! it's almost like gamifying music

[@jakeyboy2929]

Good video. I wanted to do this with round robins samples on say an 808 kit for example. I see the benefit of doing this for that example but in your example could you not just set the LFO to random trigger samples in the sample pool?

[@rodneyreels2747]

You are truly the tip of the spear for all things Digitakt II! But I'm still trying figure out why my Syntakt audio signal is so low when routed into the DT2. Syntakt master volume is set to max and LR In on DT2 is 127 yet the mix is still off. Any tips on best audio routing for this setup? Thanks :)

[@jkirchheimer]

According to elektronauts the low input volume is a known „bug“ that will be fixed in future updates.

[@rodneyreels2747]

@@jkirchheimer thanks so much.

[@phelper4554]

When you set Trigs like 7:02 can you change the trigs to random slices like you could on the octatrack? I don’t mean the random lfo trick. I hope you know the function from the octatrack that I mean ❤

[@EZBOT_]

Yes you can

[@JesseBalodis1]

Cheers for another always awesome video.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Bro! So well explained! HELL YES to all of this!! 😁🙏👊

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks Dean!

[@voodoohex72]

1) is there 1 FX buss for the 16 tracks? 2) can we resample with the FX to alleviate the potential issue with #1? Elektron needs to up their FX offerings. It sucks. Especially with these new prices.

[@EZBOT_]

Yes you can resample the fx

[@wilkkick]

What where Your comb filter settings Bro? Sounds sickkkkk

[@hammojammison5726]

Can you play multisamples with the preset keyboard? example: If I sample every fret of my bass guitar and load all those multisamples to a preset pool.. Can I play those various bass guitar note samples chromatically up and down the keyboard, recording everything I'm playing onto one track? Essentially ending up with one bass track where each note is a separately sampled fret? I want to buy DT2 but can't find clear info on this. I basically want to make funk music with 'real' bass guitar melodies, not a one shot note pitched up and down the keyboard. I'm wondering if multisamples can be performed on a single track using the performative kit.

[@djcochee6607]

Hi, I was thinking about similar challenge. Saying I got various samples from a synth where every sample has a different note. My idea is to merge all samples and then use the grid machine to play it chromatically later on. The only prerequisite is, that the samples must have the same length and the number matches the number of grids you want to play

[@Shohaiko.]

Does the Push Down the Note knob to adhere to a scale work on Digitakt 1 as well?

[@EZBOT_]

Pretty sure it's only on Digitakt 2

[@abrokenrobot]

What’s the benefit of this over randomizing the sample file in a folder of the individual samples? I just started learning the DT2 so I’m not aware

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Im pretty sure the DT2 can have even longer samples/ sample time when using mono. Like twice the amount.

[@nyanko2077]

great fun to watch, thank you!

[@luciousfl0w]

Needed this ✨🙏

[@mathubac]

Brilliant. 🙌🏻

[@sashajedinac9391]

You do this well.

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks 🙏

[@Michael-mg7te]

that was fantastic !

[@toshea1980]

Keep in mind OG Digitakt users that this tutorial also applies to the original!

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Dope my man dope

[@imanol7347]

Buenisimooooooooooo ⚡️

[@sndctrl]

Whoaaaaaaa! This is a great 🙏🏾

[@bananepoep]

Fantastic creative ideas 🙌✊

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Oh yeah this is like classic ezbot stuff. Thats whats up.

[@sooperheep]

There’s a browser editor called digichain that does this if you’re transferring samples over from your computer

[@HIFI1965]

Ya Digichain is the bomb. Also for the M8.

[@el_dani]

Matthew, what have you done: Now I want to buy a Digitakt 2, although I already have a Rytm. Can they live next to each other, probably yes with all the different synthesis power of the new Syntakt, what do you think? Thanks for the content!

[@EZBOT_]

You’re welcome!

[@daftdj123]

I was used to LFO the sample slot in grid mode on the DT1 but it seems this specific LFO destination has now disapeared in DT2. Am I blind or what ? 🤨

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Was that Digitakt two or Digitakt too? Because you said Digitakt too(two?)

[@EZBOT_]

Digitakt tooth!

[@jeandoyon7532]

Very cool trick Matt, thanks for sharing! Similarly, is it possible create a sample chain made of multisample drum parts that would be triggered and selected via velocity modulation !? In this way, one could sample into the DT2 a multisample drum VST (like Addictive Drum 2) into the DT2. If possible, this would be dope! This said, as a drummer, I might be biased! 😅

[@EZBOT_]

I think that might actually work!

[@jeandoyon7532]

@@EZBOT_ Awesome! This means that they may even had a multisampler machine in a future update (and perhaps, an automatic multisample recording mode like the 1010 Blackbox and MPC have) !? 🤞🔥🤞

[@KurtLorenz]

❤❤❤

[@hollownation]

So essentially this can recreate the random sample function from polyend play

[@EZBOT_]

Essentially I suppose

[@uoailewa]

[@EliasNStuff]

Nice vid! Though: It feels a bit like you only address ppl who know the Digitakt I…

[@mellemellor]

Yes, these deep dives are for people who know their boxes already, and that's why we love them. It would get pretty long and tiresome otherwise.

[@EliasNStuff]

@@mellemellorYes I understand that, but the crowd gets pretty narrow if you need a CV of gear-use thru 2-3 generations of boxes to grasp the language….

[@WalkingHeadPro]

how are you liking the new manual slicing, polyphony, looper, arp, and internal battery of the dt2? Oh wait. elektron didnt add anything worth buying the dt2 i forgot

[@EZBOT_]

:/

[@joepolophotography]

yes why isn't it doing the dishes for me and writing all my music for me
