Beats From Scratch - Elektron Digitakt (Fun Stuff)

[@amadeuspaulussen]

Very good demo songs! After listening to your creations for a couple of minutes I now have the feeling that I need a Digitakt very badly. 😆

[@JBintheplacetobe]

So what I do is, while I work on stuff, I put Jeremy's beatmaking videos in the background (listening to the Digitakt ones these days), which is fun and good music, but then suddenly 13:47 hit and man, it kinda made me cry, it made me stop, like a wave of emotion and goosebumps, whoaaah! Thank you sir, wish that everything is great for you too, seriously. You dont wanna know how much I listen to your channel as a backtrack to life. Thank you.

[@soundsofsynth]

at a time when I'm considering whether to get a Digitakt, MPC One, or some other central brain of my setup I stumble on your channel. I think your Digitakt videos clearly demonstrate something to me, which is, that having a somewhat limited set of features does not equate to a restricted creative experience. The more I watch, the more I feel less really is more when it comes to being creative. Thanks...your videos are truly inspirational dude.

[@grey2105]

At this point I feel obligated to comment on these digitakt videos so you'll keep putting them out! I'm just gonna keep commenting in hopes that it works and you never stop putting out delicious digitakt content! I always get so many ideas when you jam out like this ♥️♥️♥️

If I see 90s House ANYWHERE, I'm clicking. I grew up on the south side of Chicago with a dad who was a DJ that spun house records so house has always been my favorite genre!

[@michaeltrenier]

You and me both fam 79th and Ashland whaddup!

[@HackedByHarry]

Everyone talking about the second beat, but that first beat is an absolute GROOVE. The jumpy pace on that nice understated beat had my head bobbing. Great work.

[@chadb1176]

That second beat hit me in my core. Thank you. Everything is great for me, thanks for asking. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@calllumspencer]

that second beat is something special man

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Read the comments about “the second beat” before I got to it. You’re not lying or even exaggerating.

[@xXCatsLoverXx]

that second beat is literally something else Jeremy. you never cease to impress me.

[@chromaflow9313]

Haha that working from home line got me. My Digitone definitely comes to my aid when working from home gets rough.. Also, I loved the vibes in that last song - so good

[@dylandailey3191]

I'd pay money for that second beat made into a good long song

[@JeremiahRoth]

Same, it's great.

[@jordanray1537]

Absolutely!

[@kyleshutt]

Word second track is great. Made my day.

[@osrthejourney]

I love when I hear music that inspires vocals. For those of us that aspire to be producers and composers, it is an amazing feeling. If you are lucky enough to produce vocals yourself, it boarders on euphoric.

[@dylandailey3191]

@@osrthejourney I personally prefer no vocals, but to each their own.

[@trickfall8752]

Really enjoying this series and picking up some new things to try with the Digitakt.

[@keizop820]

Damm that last one.... I LOVE it !! Thank you so much for all of these vids ❤

[@alphameric]

I know nothing about music production, but every time you put out a video it makes me want to spend a lot of money on synths and boxes I have no idea how to use. Keep it up!

[@LaurentLaborde]

especially in the case of Elektron hardware, they are notoriously difficult to use :)

[@MrSwisstoful]

@@LaurentLaborde they really aren't, to master yes, to use, no

[@LukePetruzzi]

You are so cool! A huge creative role model for me, and so many others ❤️ Keep up the awesome music!!

[@shakerloops9424]

Yay! Thanks for this. Loving the all the recent diggytork jambs.

[@belsch_official]

9:40 is where the fun begins... love this man!

[@andrewdonaghy2060]

Well that brightened my day! Thank you Jeremy.

[@squarekid]

Oh man, that second one is soooo lovely. Just what I needed today.

[@dugnsand]

Again you are a genius when it comes to creating beats. Making it look so effortless. So cool to watch you work.

[@roryjineffect]

Sometimes I hate how effortlessly musical you are. Sometimes. But that second beat is not one of those times. 💕

[@Maxi3242]

don't think it's effortless...probably loads of time spent doing music

[@aoutivd]

@@Maxi3242 he means jeremy makes it look effortless.

[@richardbskelton]

The second beat gave me the shimmers

[@michaeltrenier]

Can you chain patterns? Sounds amazing man love the SOUND this puts out there’s a richness in every video I’ve ever watched compared to other machines including Maschine and MPC. Has its own distinct texture man that’s the only way I can describe it.

[@prsmo]

beautiful

[@Modeart.og.]

Every video I watch I love

[@ChadBillAnderson]

That second one though

[@macstar8317]

That 2nd beat is something else. Needs making into a full length track...

[@lff5367]

Thank you for doing those videos! The music is great and watching you build those tunes is inspirational! I hope you too have good days :)

[@CoyotitoLaPaz]

As usual, amazing! Couldn't of clicked on this any faster!

[@Theideaman]

Intro is what I usually do when I see a toy like this hahaha!

[@dmcinnis23]

Well that second creation was just plain lovely.❤ Dare I say I may….have to….finally get one of these little monsters?

[@KimbleMcCann75]

Always get pumped when I tune in here...so many rad ideas, good vibes & peeps 🤘🏾🤖💚🤙🏽

[@JohannesFranzVakat]

Goddammit you made me buy a digitakt! I loved the last Videos so much. What a wonderful talent you have! Have a great sunday ☀️

[@hal2098]

The best thing about the digitackt is it's a sampler. using sample packs seems counterintuitive. and just scratches the surface of this instruments real potential.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Agree

[@idreaminsurfgreen5327]

looooove that second beat, please expand! You da bomb diggity Jeremy.

[@robertsyrett1992]

NICE! I always love some digitakt action.

[@michaelk8642]

Holy shit! I was not really familiar with the Elektron, but this little thing seems to be able to do a ton of stuff and your expert control of it is impressive. I may have to think about picking one of these up. Thanks for the video and demonstrating your impressive skills.

[@lbarnett748]

Nice beats man I need to get my head around this thing. It can do slice and time stretch now which is a bonus. Only got this a while back. Amazing machine for sure ☺️

[@wolfingitdown2047]

Hey, Jeremy. I really appreciate the uplifting words and even more-so uplifting beats. Thanks for being genuine and I hope you have a great day too!

[@donaldpriola1807]

I vote that you keep doing these! Also, the second beat in particular shows how it's advantageous to do drums last. :)

[@grantharris8332]

I think the Digitakt is my fav piece of gear I own. It's such an inspiration and so fun to jam with. I just wish it had more than 1GB of storage!

[@RedMeansRecording]

Same!!!

[@prsmo]

it doesn't support external storage? sd card?

[@grantharris8332]

@@prsmo Nope. Only internal

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

That second beat had a great Chem Bros Private Psychedelic Reel vibe to it. Loved it!

[@karlklee9418]

“Sounds like the bad fake opera from the 5th elemnt “ 🤣🤣🤣

[@botanychild7890]

It's like Smooth Jazz Techno ;)

[@Adrian-me3tg]

Keep this Digitackt train goin! Woop Woop!

[@conradtm]

0:39 - We call that ASMRMR

[@midxs5437]

Damn this was a musical adventure, fire asf bro.

[@steveedwards4495]

Wait what? Loving hearing ting that second track build up then suddenly it was awesome? 😳 Scary good. I can get halfway to a good sound then get excited and delete by accident lol. This thing is crazy addictive, was up till 4.30am yesterday tweaking and up for work at 6.30, get this machine away from me.

[@LuisFCorreia]

Hi Jeremy, thank you for a very kind tutorial(ish) of Digitakt I've tried to follow it the best I could and I clearly need more practice keep up the good work man, We really appreciate it Cheers!

[@sirg927]

Supr track you make here !!!! Sounds awesome!💥💥💥

[@DylanParisMusic]

Love this one! So cool to see you dive into the digitakt this way. Trying to get to the point where I learn from gear vids without the gnawing need to also buy the gear in the vid haha

[@unic0de-yvr]

12:30 I feel like Super Mario, holding a wand, falling through some clouds...

[@highbrassrule]

So cool! Love this

[@anniesthesia]

I love that fake opera solo! Even tried to add the acapella to a track of mine.

[@medenine4828]

Second track was gorgeous! First track reminded me of how bad some 90s music was! 😄

[@afterthewar54]

"That sounds like a fucking snare" This is me every time I'm digging through drum samples looking for the right sound without knowing specifically what I'm looking for. I also frequently curse the idiot who organized these samples, ignoring the fact that the idiot was me.

[@Deathgazeroo]

At first beat I was like - heh I can do that on my DT - on second beat I was actually amazed

[@frankdev]

Yo jeremy that second one is special

[@swissives]

LOVE IT!❤

[@Loumont_2]

Damn that was sweet! Can’t wait to get home and mess with my Digitakt!

[@tuppawareAU]

That first beat reminds background music in every cruise club Ive ever been into. I mean vibes

[@Skiddoo42]

Adam, you've been busy! How come I never get notifications for your vids, bro? I have to play catch up now...

[@Limbic1000]

Soo much inspiring!!

[@ain-mylan]

Man I really thought this said 90s R&B and now I can't get it out of my head hahah

[@HasTwoCowUtters]

Loved both, but that second one was 🔥

[@utente7707]

aw that cute dog! i don't understand anything about how to make music and i'm in awe of your talent. Have a great day!

[@Nunyabidne55]

please keep making these.

[@BrendonBrooks]

I bow to your expertise

[@cjlewis79]

Made the 2nd beat on my Maschine which made it easier to make on my Digitakt. Making music is fun! :D

[@djwashedup]

The Digitakt is my FAAAVOURITE

[@StrophicValley]

Now I want one !

The drum beat at 8:00 sounds a bit like on the 1991 Kraftwerk album _The Mix_ 😂

[@dewille-pl]

I'm sorry but 5th Element is 10/10 including opera song!! :) Remember movie was made 1999 ? It was amazing back then and now still is imho

[@nomad1517]

Elektron seems to be principal based. Because you can sculpt sounds from nothing with this thing. Plus it looks rugged and like a machine. Not some GQ device from native instruments, it looks like it can do some damage.

[@braxtonmillerphoto]

🐐

[@ToyKeeper]

Are you still going through old videos you recorded but never uploaded, or are you doing new Digitakt stuff now? It's good either way; just curious.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yes!

[@ToyKeeper]

@@RedMeansRecording Lol, ask a silly question, get a silly answer. Well played.

[@joemoe1906]

I'm thinking about trading my opz with the line module for one of these plus maybe some money... Is this more versatile than the opz? I'm kind of new to sequencers and programming and the opz is / easy to learn and make stuff on. Is this easy to learn and is the digitakt a good machine?

[@prsmo]

more lofi house pls!!

[@davidsanfeliumarco9664]

So cooool

[@MrWigg1es22]

How you gonna throw shade at The Diva Dance like that?

[@RedMeansRecording]

I love it

[@sams7068]

it's crazy how a song can go from a 7 to a 10 by choosing to look at a synth rather than a vocal sound on a whim

[@nerdherd007]

These were amazing but I will not accept slander against The Diva Dance

[@akt67]

Is it better/easier than the electribe 2 sampler?
