Digitakt Sound Design Tutorial // Sampling my Eurorack Modular Synth

In this video, I break down how I edited various modular synth pad samples within the Digitakt to create this piece:
• Digitakt and Eurorack ...
I've been curating my modular synth for a couple of years now, but only recently started using it in tandem with the Digitakt. I hope this video gives you ideas for how to apply sound-design principles inherent to the Elektron workflow, particularly using longer-form samples for unique and interesting results!
Also, definitely let me know if you'd be interested in a modular sample pack. I've been toying with the idea of creating a Patreon down the road, and want to hear from you what sort of content you'd find appealing!

For some reason it made me really happy when you mentioned Doug, lol. I was like 22 when that show was out, and I absolutely watched it every day with my then-boyfriend, lol. It was so pure.

[@SlowHaste]

Haha yes!! Doug was very present in my childhood, taught me a lot before I knew it would ever be important.

[@sadlantis]

Lovely in depth tutorial. I found this really interesting. And that melody of the guitar sample is lush, I can see why you were happy when you came up with that.

[@SlowHaste]

Thank you!! Yes, I always find some of my favorite results come from setting up random parameters (within reason) and letting the machines do their magic.

[@t1d3s]

Really good to see your process dude, magical 👌🙏

[@SlowHaste]

😎

[@chrispuhl6598]

This is brilliant. This video helped things “click” for me in conjunction with messing around with my Digitakt today. Thank you! So helpful and interesting!

[@SlowHaste]

That’s great!! I originally started sharing all of these tips with that exact intention, so I’m glad it’s been helpful

[@maikrobin]

Very nice explained! It´s so satisfying to make beats with your own samples on the DT!

[@SlowHaste]

Yes, super rewarding!

[@martijnsalomez4523]

This is really inspiring. You really have a deep understanding on how to handle the digitakt. This will come in handy as I just bought a digitakt. I already have a small modular system with an instruo arbhar for processing and an arturia microfreak which I'm planning to sample both. For now still struggling through the manual :)

[@SlowHaste]

Ahhh that sounds like an amazing setup! I’ve always wanted an Arbhar but wasn’t able to get one, and ended up with a morphagene instead (which I love)! Glad you found the video useful!

[@kenb7540]

Excellent composition. Excellent tutorial. Thank you. 👏

[@SlowHaste]

Thanks so much!!

[@ANDROAV]

Yes

[@mikamusic5679]

process insight and the amount of inspiration i get from this is awesome :) for a new digitakt owner like me this is pure gold. thank you man!!!!!

[@SlowHaste]

Happy to help, thanks for stopping by!

[@onderstroom]

Nice!!!!

[@rudkx]

I’m curious, why the fake side-chain to the kick rather than just actually using the side-chaining that’s available on the device?

[@SlowHaste]

Good question! I use both - with the LFO you can more finely tune things to your liking for each track, and use it as more of an “effect” than a mastering tool.

[@dj_muggzy]

I hear the Doug theme song! Lol

[@SlowHaste]

Haha, clearly my subconscious was sneaking it in there
