- Digitakt - [US bit.ly/3Z91eeE] [EU bit.ly/3y3sfV0]
In this episode of Beats from Scratch I make a techno track from scratch on "just" one drum machine - Elektron Digitakt. I used only factory samples that come together with the Digitakt! I love Digitakt Minimal Techno!
I ended up creating and recording one track from scratch at 138 bpm. Also I did some post processing in Ableton with Analog Heat and iZotope Ozone 9.

🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.
This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.
I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.
I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!
I watched all the Techno Tutorials on KZbin! (I think)
📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!
✌️ Peace.

Damn dude this was wild

[@MattJacques]

Just perfect! This is exactly the sort of demo / tutorial that I find there isn't quite enough of out there for Digitakt... step by step from obvious 4/4 to full 🤯jam. Even just understanding what steps the hats/claps fall on is appreciated!

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks for your feedback, Matt!

[@elonthun8012]

You can count where there placed pretty easily

[@dagura.9677]

This was dangerously good while i was driving

Great job showing how versatile the DT is, and for making me realise I don't use mine anywhere close to its full potential.
