How to Pitch Glide/Portamento on the Digitakt

[@vvveenn]

Your tutorials should mandatory viewing for all digitakt owners 👍

[@vvveenn]

P.S. video request: digitakt + cv.ocd + modular 🙏❤️😀

[@OscillatorSink]

@@vvveenn this is planned 😉

[@vvveenn]

Yessss!!!

[@jolieuke]

Wow, thanks ! Oh how I missed your Digitakt's tutorials ...

[@OscillatorSink]

I'll probably still be doing Digitakt videos 5 years from now - softly spoken Elektron videos seems to be my brand! I always come back to the Digitakt eventually.

[@saardean4481]

Wow thats impressive. I was looking for „digitakt slide“ and found this. This video also made me realise that never in life will i be able to pull this off when jamming so i will need to buy some 303 synth thingy

[@inkfingers]

Super helpful! Now I understand the ramp LFO a lot better, and that sliding drone is fabulous. Thank you so much OS!

[@OscillatorSink]

I'm happy to help! It took me a while to appreciate "The Power of the Ramp" but I use it all the time now!

[@markbelcher1777]

Just ordered my DT… great tricks, thank you! I’ll be back

[@bobz1736]

I love your 'tips' videos... so inspiring - please keep them coming. I've had a DT from day 1 and still learning. What an awesome machine. Super support from Elektron too - they replaced all my sticky buttons for free 🙏

[@brucegill3488]

Just what I needed! And then you went straight into what I needed next with the P Lock version. Thanks you!

[@Deadstarable]

Came here to learn portamento. Left with the trick you can preview steps with Yes as an extra. Thanks.

[@chitlun]

This is ace! It was watching your Digitakt videos that convinced me I needed one and continue to be a source of inspiration. Thanks for this man, I’ll be all over it later, peace ✌️

[@OscillatorSink]

Cheers buddy, enjoy pitch gliding about!

[@Comrade_Dr_nick]

just an incredibly helpful video. thank you.

[@OscillatorSink]

Cheers!

[@sonkefrerichs563]

Such a great tip, thank you very much. Buying my Digitakt becomes more and more a perfect decision. It´s a deep and komplex piece of gear (but with a great workflow) ...but for me a real musical instrument, too. Thank you for sharing your phenomenal skills helping me for getting the most out of my Digitakt (and as I presume, my Digitakt is waiting to get a little Brother Digitone. :-) ..). Stay healthy and best regard!

[@dobioobeats]

King of Digitakt, thank you..

[@OscillatorSink]

I'm no king, just some synth nerd who has a camera!

[@robllewellyn]

Very cool. Runs straight off to try.

[@distantcomets]

Brilliant! I'm in the middle of reducing the size of my performance rig and was really missing glide in using my Digitakt for basses!

[@OscillatorSink]

You can get so much done with just the digitakt - so many little tricks to uncover. Glad to be of service!

[@JDVVV378]

Hope to see more digitakt videos next year 🙌

[@OscillatorSink]

Fingers crossed!

[@avrilcadabra]

Kind of weird seeing the old UI now. I had done glides before but by ear and it was a pain, thanks for showing the math!

[@MartinYamMoller]

Excellent vid👍

[@OscillatorSink]

Thanks Martin!

[@MartinYamMoller]

@@OscillatorSink ive been wanting to ask you about doing an interview... I have a gear blog asking nerdy questions about music gear.... Would you like to participate? .... Previous interviews have been with Hainbach and Cuckoo martinyammoller.com/9oddquestionsformusicgearjunkies/true-cuckoo-flew-over-the-nest/

[@kenb7540]

Really clever. Beautifully explained as always. 👍

[@OscillatorSink]

Thanks Ken!

[@MJKay92]

Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@travislrogers]

Exactly what I was looking for.. Thanks for this! Love your videos!

[@OscillatorSink]

Happy to help, cheers for watching!

[@adamcrafts3032]

I really appreciate this video

[@tubeMonger]

You have an algorithmic take on the sound design. A very good tutorial. Much appreciated (my take on this was a bit different).

[@OscillatorSink]

Cheers! That's the great thing about Elektron boxes - there are "atoms" of sound design that can be put together in lots of different ways to create different effects.

[@shualiko]

Wow - this is great. Interesting and illuminating - Thanks!

[@OscillatorSink]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!

[@stevebuchan6642]

nice technique

[@mikamulperi]

Very nice tip, thank you! I think I can live without portamento now. That is actually pretty cool and configurable

[@OscillatorSink]

I'm glad I could help!

[@jamesdowie4628]

Great tips and tricks as always 👍

[@justanothercookie8764]

Damn dude, that is awesome! Well hacked and love the idea of using trig conditions to pitch bend, possibilities there are pretty huge! Noice!

[@OscillatorSink]

Cheers buddy, glad you liked it!

[@mikaelsundblad5381]

Thanks!

[@MSS-g7f]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you - and thinking aloud when applied to other parameters this has a lot more uses other than pitch mod. Cheers 👍

[@ModernDevotion]

I use this for timestrech/ grainular effects to great success

[@OscillatorSink]

The ramp LFO feels like it was included specifically to be used with the half LFO mode. They knew what they were doing.

[@skibaa1]

Nice trick! I will try it on Syntakt, looks like it should work the same

[@OscillatorSink]

It does! You don't have to half the amounts though for some reason.

[@ruitokyolive]

Really nice one. Thank you so much.

[@ruitokyolive]

Thank you for making probably the best vids on elektron machines. ❤

[@OscillatorSink]

@@ruitokyolive thank you for watching!

[@andrewmadec5953]

Great tips😎 thanks man

[@Jamslerr]

Appreciate the tutorial. Thanks

[@GustavSandstedt]

Thank you, very useful 😊

[@OscillatorSink]

Thanks for watching!

[@BrunoWiebelt]

oh thank you very much, so helpful

[@OscillatorSink]

Cheers Bruno!

[@danielpirone8028]

Great video!!! More like it please!

[@OscillatorSink]

Check out my Digitakt and Digitone playlists for more, but I suspect I'll still be doing Digitakt videos 5 years from now, they're kinda my staple!

[@tbueno]

Wosy. This is awesome!!

[@OscillatorSink]

Thank you!

[@jdawe390]

This is brilliant, my mind's already racing with ideas for this. Can I ask what that chord sample you use in the second half is? It sounds so familiar, I really like it

[@OscillatorSink]

It's a sample I made from playing chords with one of the free Spitfire Audio Labs instruments. I think the pack is called "Tape Orchestra" - pretty sure it was this one: labs.spitfireaudio.com/tape-orchestra

[@fleshback]

great tip!

[@attizzoso]

Are you telling me I can emulate the 303 sound? This is very interesting

[@MattGreerMusic]

This is cool stuff, bro.

[@OscillatorSink]

Thanks buddy!

[@jonathonkiner7415]

Sweet!

[@maarzt]

Best!

[@JesusChrist-ut3vo]

great !!!!! could you imitate a TB303, you think??

[@OscillatorSink]

The slide characteristics of the 303 are pretty particular, but I'm sure you can get close enough!

[@martintaylor9205]

Thought you’d gone AWOL 😄but glad your back with these tips, although beyond my scope, if I get Digitakt I’ll be glad just to get some basic Techno type stuff out of it, I’m not sure as to getting this unit as expensive if not suited to it so a gamble, also how can I if sampling external audio get it all in Key of music as samples might be in all sorts of keys and would clash musically???? I’m new to this so apprehensive Many thanks

[@OscillatorSink]

It's been a trying couple of weeks in real life so I hadn't had the brainspace to work on channel stuff, nothing serious but an energy drain nevertheless. The Digitakt is amazing, but definitely watch videos of people making music on it from scratch (Jeremy from Red Means Recording posted 2 or 3 'from scratch' videos recently that are great). On the question of keys of samples - you can just re-tune them to fit the current track - or not, sometimes those clashes could be fun!

[@maarzt]

Wishing you ease in the real life thing. Feel you on that

[@romenpheonixx7005]

“Little sparkly on there”..🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

I’m confused tho- did the Digitone get glide for real, or is the workaround the same?

[@OscillatorSink]

The Digitone has real portamento (glide) if you're running an up to date firmware.

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

@@OscillatorSink Thanks, I found it last night, staring me right in the face.

[@OscillatorSink]

Great! There might be some stuff in this video that helps you get the best from it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6GQfJ6bdtOtrJo
