[@BIGUMAMI]

what is up greedy guts? I have a Discord server! come and chat about samplers, software, and leave some suggestions on what videos you want to see next: discord.gg/DMntZNBX

This video is my introduction to your channel. Sparks of excitement and inspiration is the vibe I get from this video. I feel like running straight back to my studio and spend the whole day playing with the digi. But then again that would have been a thing of 2003 simpler times when there were no bills to pay and no people who depend on you. ;-). Love your music and style. Keep it up and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much love from Belgium.

[@BIGUMAMI]

man... first of all thank you for the kind words... second, I felt it in my chest when you said "no bills and no people who depend on you" ahaha damn I feel you bro. but the second part of that sentence is kinda lovely tho...

[@forcefieldsound]

this is one of the best tutorials ive seen for the digitakt and your music is banging, awesome stuff man

[@TheHansen01]

Lot of great production tips here... the final track is a BANGER 🔥

[@BIGUMAMI]

thank you so much!

[@ouyubeats]

Love this series! Great stuff man

[@BIGUMAMI]

glad you enjoy it! hopefully I'll keep it going!

[@danielsolomon63]

If you don't want to quantize and prepare loops, just use repitch machine, resample it in Digitakt at any tempo you like then use the Slice machine and the slices will be at the perfect tempo for your tune. Cheers!

Dope stuff, thinking about getting one of these or something else to start my hardware journey. Biggest thing I'd like it a nice way to work with breaks as I'll just do everything else in DAW. Any suggestions?

[@BIGUMAMI]

honestly, if you wanna have more flexibility, I'd suggest a SP404MKII, which is way cheaper by the way!

[@EZBOT_]

Sounded pretty good, nice work.

[@BIGUMAMI]

Hey, thanks dude! it really means a lot coming from you - you're an elektron legend around these parts!

[@EZBOT_]

@@BIGUMAMI 😆 you flatter me!

[@Its_Drifta]

Been struggling with getting this genre down. Appreciate the tutorial.

[@BIGUMAMI]

glad to be of help!!

[@craigwilliamsmusic]

Really nice, tutorial matey!!

[@BIGUMAMI]

Thanks a lot!

[@darkestsunray]

u built a really cool song on that machine nice work

[@BIGUMAMI]

thank you very much!

[@jamesdean5095]

Request for next ep in the series: SP 404 MKII - will it... do your taxes?

[@BIGUMAMI]

wouldnt that be something lollll

[@illegalgiant_]

this one pretty good. didn’t know that lfo bitrate would be so effective edit: a lotta great stuff in this one. mind telling me how you got to a lot of the fundamentals? do i just need to google characteristics of jungle and then fit the digitakt in? never tried to make something like this

[@BIGUMAMI]

aw man, i've been producing jungle for years now - it's just a matter of adapting whatever I did in a DAW on the Digitakt. I see you also commented on my other video about ps1 jungle, that's a good place to start!

[@illegalgiant_]

@@BIGUMAMI cheers bigUm, have a good one brother

[@Nastermusic]

Street knowledge. Ez bro settle down. You will show them all the rules. Hahaha proper my man you are truly skilled. Mad luv

[@BIGUMAMI]

ahaha respek mad respek my dude

[@Demigrancio]

Sounds great!

[@BIGUMAMI]

thank you!!

[@joepolophotography]

That reese is perfect

[@losangulos]

Is this easier on the mpc one+?

[@BIGUMAMI]

I don't know, never tried one!

[@saren6538]

if you wanted to do a little hardware setup you would need about 4 digitakts as they dont have individual outs

[@BIGUMAMI]

I mean, yeah, that'd cost you a pretty penny though ahah!

[@saren6538]

@@BIGUMAMI akai force …. Hold my beer 🍺

[@bezvoshchuk]

Hey 👋 What would be your device of choice for making jungle/dnb than? 🙃

[@BIGUMAMI]

definitely a computer ahahah! this channel is mostly about hardware, but I might start another one dedicated exclusively to software.

[@Fred_pimpstone-II]

woot woot moar jungle🎉🎉🎉

[@grazstarr]

You can’t change the slicing points?? What the hell? What kind of a sampler is this?

[@BIGUMAMI]

yeah... I know

[@saren6538]

yeah not buying after i found that out

[@pirosod]

Software is much more deeper then the digitakt ofcourse but the hands on tactility and portability of this guy is pretty sensational.

[@BIGUMAMI]

yeah I mean, a DAW will allow you to do pretty much whatever the hell you want, but I gotta say, overbridge works like a charm and I find myself super inspired when using the digitakt. so there is something to be said about the value of a hybrid setup where you get started on hardware and finish up in software!
