Tense | Elektron Digitakt & MicroFreak (Dawless Synth Jam)

[@JeanDearCanada]

this develops really well, feels composed, in a good way.

[@percboi3000]

TY mate 🙏🏼

[@Ultratechman]

Perfect setup if someone wanted to go with just two synths, pretty much unlimited jamming with this pair

[@percboi3000]

Small too, you could travel with this setup & never get bored

[@gmgreg914]

already have a microfreak think imma get a used digitakt im just starting to get into music production 🤝🏽

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

I enjoyed this. Fun to see someone who knows how to use these demonstrate what just these two and FX can do. The pads came in way late for me ha. But nice listening all the same.

[@percboi3000]

Appreciate that man 🙏🏼

[@gransmarker]

Great sounds.

[@jammingpositivevibration]

Cool staf.. Keep on jamming 👌❤❤❤ I love jamming with microfreak.

[@percboi3000]

Thank u mate 🙏🏼

[@MrJackal43]

Nice jam man! Dig it! Subbed up!

[@percboi3000]

Much obliged sir 🧙🏼‍♂️

[@xBattsey]

Nice playing. The Microfreak has quickly risen to my 5 most favourite synths, especially since its latest firmware update with the addition of the noise engine. Really lightweight and portable too since it can be USB powered!

[@percboi3000]

Sebastian Fritzon agreed, it punches wayyy above its price range

[@freejay6091]

what are the other four ? ;)

[@hoshinkanri123]

The 7 thumbs down of this video had to be an accident. Absolutely beautiful! Right up my progressive breaks avenue!! Well done.

[@percboi3000]

Thanks for your time sir !

[@rutgervz]

This is awesome. Can you point to a tutorial for this setup? Trying to hook my minifreak to my digitakt in the same way

[@matiasphillips9831]

nice one mate :)

[@percboi3000]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@emeraldent]

sick jam mate!

Cheers for listening dawg !

[@odysseetechno1856]

Wow !

[@tothefinlandstation]

Can the Microfreak handle lots of sequenced program change messages from the Digitakt smoothly?

[@percboi3000]

Yes it should be fine with this. You could even use the digi to sequence changes in oscillator type/shape/timbre which sounds very cool

[@mickvdzwan]

Awesome! Im looking to buy a effective sampler sequencer and synth to fiddle around. This seems as the best combo?

[@percboi3000]

great combo, recommend both esp digitakt

[@mickvdzwan]

[@percboi3000]

@@mickvdzwan plenty of cool new synths out atm

[@TheRoundBARNES]

@@percboi3000 no joke. digitakt is a must have piece of gear for anyone making music. its like a professional sketchbook.

[@percboi3000]

@@TheRoundBARNES so true, it’s a beautiful ideas machine

[@SabinoDTmusic]

Can you sync them straight without midi thru box or audio interface?

[@percboi3000]

Yep! The MicroFreak needs one of those little 5pin midi > CV adapters. Midi out of Digitakt to midi in on MF via the little converter

[@balob]

@@percboi3000 what's the settings on the Digitakt and microfreak? I can't seem to get it right

[@percboi3000]

@@balob make sure the MF is set to receive midi on the same channel as the Digitakt is sending midi. On Digitakt - output to midi & usb

[@balob]

I did it and it's still not taking the midi signal.

[@SKRDyaheard]

Amazing bro! Question; just got the freak. How do you use multiple midi tracks to get different sounds? I thought you could only use one... which is track 9 on channel 1 for me.

[@SKRDyaheard]

I see track 9 and 10 lighting up as well. aside from 13 and 14

[@percboi3000]

The MicroFreak cannot play multiple timbers at once, it is limited to one patch at a time but it is polyphonic, so I like to send multiple different sequences to it to create some more melodic changes.

[@SKRDyaheard]

@@percboi3000 nice! thought so, so like a very low bassy sound and a higher pitch from the same patch. Mind me asking how you arrange that on the digi?

[@percboi3000]

bassalucas yeh something like that. and yes so the digi has up to 8 midi tracks, I set them to send midi out on different channels depending on the synth. set 2/3 tracks to the same channel & switch between them for a song mode type thing

[@wallbrown1876]

@@percboi3000 little late here but great track man,really enjoyed.You made the freak sound huge. A question regarding what you answered here.I consider pairing the DT with a freak soon too. Wanted to ask,if I set 2/3 midi tracks like you said to the same midi channel,will messing with the cc parameters on either track on the DT affect the others too? So for example I may mess with the filter parameter on midi track one(low notes),but if any higher notes play on a different track at the same time,they will be affected as well am I right?Unless you p.lock I guess...

[@saturos1135]

Does it have its own looping program or is that through the electron?

[@percboi3000]

Saturos I’m sending midi notes from the elektron

[@constantine5555]

I’m terrible at connecting devices. Is your MicroFreak connected via midi to your Digitakt? Great jam by the way!

[@percboi3000]

Thanks for listening! And yes, Digitakt midi out > MF midi in

[@constantine5555]

@@percboi3000 thanks for the reply. I just ordered (2) 1/8th inch to 5 pin male midi cables. You really do have an awesome musical style. I’m really wanting an MFB Dominion 1 and or the MFB Synth Pro. What’s your thoughts on those two synths? I also want an Allen & Heath Xone DB4. My goal is to play live. Question: Do you have a mixer?

[@percboi3000]

@@constantine5555 no prob, appreciate you having a listen and happy to answer questions. Sounds cool the db4 would be awesome for playing live, lots of effects and routings. I have a soundcraft EPM in the studio to mix my synths but I recently picked up an Octatrack mk2 to use as a live mixer/sampler (some videos soon). As for the MFB synths I’m not sure, unfortunately never had my hands on either but they sound good in any demos I’ve heard!

[@Harris.azj.97]

What wires would I need to connect my digitakt and microfreak together??

[@percboi3000]

you would need audio & midi cables

[@Harris.azj.97]

@@percboi3000 I know midi cables are but what do you mean by audio cables And would you recommend and specific midi and audio cables Also I appreciate the reply 🙌🏾

[@percboi3000]

@@Harris.azj.97 digitakt has audio inputs so you could run MicroFreak through its effects by plugging audio out of MF in to DT. For cables no recommendations, just whatever suits your budget! Hope this helps 👍🏼

Please Arturia make a big brother to microfreak !

[@percboi3000]

Would LOVE to see it

[@fattyboombatty7736]

...and a desktop version without keyboard

[@percboi3000]

I wouldn’t mind giving up some portability in exchange for some deeper features.
