I love how much attention Elektron gives to these boxes post release. Keep the new Syntakt machines coming Elektron!!!!

[@Ponchy]

Agreed!

[@boorchboorch]

Love to see Ricky demoing Elektron!

[@vitalyfutoriansky5613]

Took me a second ... wasn't sure what channel I am watching :) good luck at Elektron didn't know you are now work for them

[@kaktakovoi81]

Yeah!!! WANT IT IN ANALOG RYTM! PLEEEAASE, ELEKTRON!

[@GTChris]

All I want in the RYTM is the portamento function, but I'm afraid with the improvement in the analog parts of the Syntakt that feature will never get to the RYTM, but a man can dream.

[@kaktakovoi81]

@@GTChris , my dream is dual vco on more than four tracks)) Portamento will be good too.

[@technokind1503]

All what Elektron want is you buying a Syntakt 😅

Congrats

Great call hiring Enrique! Your updates to this new box have been impressive

My man Ricky always a delight to watch, thank you for all your contributions

Yo Ricky that is a sweet little jam my dude. Cool update. Also, it’s nice to see you over here with Elektron ✌🏼

Bit of brightness for us today. Thank you Elecktron!

You are now with Elektron!!!!! Congratulations! It’s been awhile since I’ve tuned in so this was something I didn’t know 😃

[@voteutopia7548]

This pushed me over the edge and i just ordered one!

[@EZBOT_]

I love see Enrique in these videos. So good.

[@hexwavemusic]

I really didn't expect new machines to be added, this makes me VERY happy and I cannot wait to finish my shift and check these out!

[@cockur]

Elektron have a long history of adding feature rich updates to their devices for many years after their release

[@hexwavemusic]

@@cockur Oh yeah I know, but with how many machines were in it I didn't expect more, more like some other features instead. But very glad for these!

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

@@cockur Not as much in their recent boxes, the digitone has largely remained the same except for features like song mode, they could easily add more sonic possibilities there and same with the model cycles. I’m glad they’re continuing to update syntakt though because it has the potential to eclipse the monomachine and become one of the all time best grooveboxes but as it launched it felt like there were big limitations like no portamento and being able to do supersaw sounds and more analog sounds is great.

[@Ponchy]

Saaame. Definitely didn’t expect this kind of update!

[@coxidelic]

Love this!! Makes the Syntakt a real keeper for those of us wanting to craft sounds along with rhythm

Thanks Ricky! from Germany many thanks for you,re Turtorial Elektron is the best what i ever had .I love all Maschines from Elektron and you,re turtorial man ythanks for you,re doing.

[@Ponchy]

I’ve loved the Syntakt since you guys released it, most notably because it takes some of the best parts of other machines and combines it all into one. Thanks for this latest update!

[@meilstone]

Yes, I'm so happy to call a Syntakt my own... it's my only Elektron device and so far, I haven't felt like getting any of the others...

[@AndrewPRoberts]

FROM Elektron? Always love seeing Ricky

[@spot1119]

Love your channel bro. Been a big supporter for a couple years now. I have a question I can’t figure out though. When you change your filter type between HP LP BP ect, is there a way to automate when those filters kick in? I think it’d be cool if part of my song started with a high pass filter then when I want a low pass to kick in to get that full sound. Is this possible on my Syntakt. I’ve even been struggling on my MPC as to how to automate when my insert fx kick in. Appreciate any help and always love brother.

[@maxmatteo2436]

well done

[@vincent_us]

soooo good! hope you guys are working on that granular engine 😁

[@Gunarii]

And the physical modeling

[@Jaesee]

granular won't come to syntakt, since it doesn't use samples. it would be cool to see on digitakt in a future update though

[@vincent_us]

@@Jaeseegranular fx is possible.

[@Jaesee]

@@vincent_us well yes, but you didn't clarify that did you. also you commented that on a demo of a machine, so logically you can assume you were talking about granular synthesis, rather than granular delay/reverb.

[@vincent_us]

[@Usul]

These things are on sale right now, and I'm broke. :( Elektron produces amazingly well thought out products. Glad to have Ricky show this off. He speaks "musician" which I really appreciate.

[@mybiggrin]

Are you planning on adding an arpeggiator like the other boxes? Pleeeeease!

great vid! possible to request a video? how about a video with Ricky explaining the Elektron LFOs/options, would be a great resource given its on basically all the machines

[@1UpBebop]

Agreed! I've never used the hold function before but after he explained it was like "AHA I NEED TO USE THAT!" haha.

[@Claidheambmor]

The visual description of the different LFO modes in the Elektron manuals is fantastic, have you checked that out?

[@ChurBoBaggins]

​@@Claidheambmor i checked out the digitakt manual and I didn't think it was that helpful, that said I didn't realize there was already a video from RT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqG1hnSKa7p-Y7M so all good hehe

[@andrewknox9360]

Look up his digitakt tutorials. There is a lot of overlap that is useful for the syntakt

[@jehr897]

PLEASE reissue the Machinedrum UW+ or make a MKIII of it.

[@ahzootube]

I own a Dsi Tempest and therefore I did not want to buy Syntakt in the first place but now with this update I started to think about getting a Syntakt…

[@duketranslucent3rd]

Elektron is there any chance you could release an OS update that adds some effects? Much as I love Ekeltron boxes, I can never understand why they are so lacking in common performance effects - chorus (Digitone excepted), flanger, phaser etc. Doesn't have to be a cornucopia of effects like a Roland box, but ~£900 it would be nice to have at least some.

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Elektron we're waiting for an upgraded sampler. Pretty please!! Whatever is to come next from Octatrack MK2 will be my next device.

[@ronsone8373]

This is asked so much I gave up on it

[@lebronsinclair8012]

@@ronsone8373 don’t give up. We have to petition via the comments lol. That’s all I really want. I know Octatrack is still very popular but no overbridge is no bueno. The workflow needs to be tightened up too. I have the polyend tracker and simplicity of the workflow is just amazing. Of course elektron boxes can do more but you can sleep on something being intuitive. More time to focus arrangements and automation.

[@whentheleavesarefalling]

Half Life 3 will come out before Octatrack MK3.

[@howlinberry1645]

Here here! I'll pay top dollar for an upgraded Elektron sampler!

[@iamjamessmith]

@@lebronsinclair8012 Seeing these requests/complaints about Octatrack/sampling on every single post by Elektron, on every platform, about any product, for over a decade, no matter how far removed from the actual content of the video/post that's actually being commented on, is getting really, really boring.

[@Summer_of_Syntakt]

The most logical thing for Syntakt would be ability to sample analog machines internally. If I create great kick drum which will stay the same during performance, I would like to sample it, play it on digital track with Sample machine, and release that analog track for something else.

[@kaaraosa]

How'd you make that sort of arpeggio at 0:16 ? :O

[@MrBoba-yn2uq]

If only someone would remember about modal cycles

[@keepinitrealTRUTHFUL]

Can this sample voice and other natural sound and use it to make natural beat without drum or instrument

[@rustnepoteter]

I'm thinking of buying the syntakt, and at 0:16 it looks like you're using an arpeggiator while in all of the reviews they say there isn't one, is there an arpeggiator on the sytakt?

[@edgarsilva9905]

I knew it

[@Koettnylle]

So, essentially this is a modified DVCO? Really cool regardless!

[@Claidheambmor]

I guess in that it is an oscillator of a subtractive synthesis style but it differs in most other respects.

[@Koettnylle]

@@Claidheambmor How do you establish that it's subtractive? By definition, there is nothing in the DVCO/Raw in itself that constitutes subtractive synthesis. The only thing in the Raw machine that stands out to me is the noise level, so if you say they differ in "most" respects, I disagree.

[@effebidi9677]

Why this machine doesn't appear on the manual yet?

[@TheHmmka]

[@thisfoodiereviews]

@@Claidheambmor dual vco doesnt have square wave

[@andrewknox9360]

You can pwm the square waves manually. Use the lfo to modulate square waveform shape on the dual VCO.

Awesome update but I'll give you my money for an upgraded octotrak!
