The Digitakt Experience

[@lasideasfugazes]

Time keeps passing by and this Digitakt Demo is still the BEST on the internet, period.

[@EZBOT_]

100%

[@ArtemSolop]

Best Digitakt music video so far

[@kw1ksh0t]

No the Yan Cook one is the best

[@in_10z]

Most excellent Digitakt jam.

[@hitthesynth6417]

I love to came back here from time to time to get new motivation to dig into my DT!

[@madtho]

Right? It’s like learning a new lick on the guitar, I’ll spot a move and try to bring it into my own beats, so good.

[@gooneybird808]

Dude I’ve heard this so many times and all I was thinking about was the machine but in reality you are an amazing artist!

[@autorverse]

no kid, if you buy this chances are you won't sound like dataline. this dudes a monster.

[@benpayton95]

i needed you to say this

[@markaprill6501]

Lol

[@napestar]

just knowing it has the potential to sound like this is enough

[@halidex]

Amen! I'd like to see a real time video of him practicing with the Digitakt and all the set up that went into this set. How many hours would it be?

[@256k_]

@@halidex the thing is, He's been using elektron gear for years and years and he works with elektron on developing new products... so even his first time touching the digitakt or any other elektron device he's gonna have yeras of a headstart over anyone else....

[@mkultraproductions1549]

We need more videos of this machine. I'm sure they are coming, but you put this thing through its paces already. Very nice.

[@michaelhernan9659]

Have taken a break from watching Twin Peaks reaction and commentary videos to watch this - smart move!

[@gibbyhanes8357]

Let's sample Badalamenti!

[@ElBoxeo1]

Nearly made me cry man very beautiful I want 1% of this power

[@tomfurstyfield]

Nice! First video I've seen of someone putting an actual set together and playing it live. Also some banging tunes in there

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Not continuous though , reset time in edits.

[@bobm2251]

bought me a digitakt 3 months ago and wished that I would have such skils you have. your music is exeletn

[@DjangoFlaherty]

Amazing work! Such beautiful atmospheres, reminding me of classic jungle tunes. If your live shows are anything like this these days, count me in!

[@easementh]

the time signatures were super tightly knit with what sounded like triplets and 4/4 stacked beautifully

[@lifesynthtance]

Digitakt is a pretty awesome box and what Cenk can do with it is mind blowing !

[@ThizIzReal]

The definition of "awesome". Incredible machine, pure talent and skills, genuine musician !

[@garvinkelly]

the transition around 7:05 is so good

[@nonami_066xswqoqowiwl]

Garvin Kelly Gay Me

[@cosmogang]

What a fluid machine. Fantastic job.

[@zjenji]

The MrDataline experience has been fantastic! Keep em comin!

[@mischulzed]

Cenk man, I really think you should consider opening a music live performance school! You are already there man.

[@musicandlife3167]

Mikhail Vasilevsky relax dude

[@Luwispurpul]

Got mine on Saturday. Made a bunch of tracks and loops so far. Damn thing is a box of delights. Cenk, the last line of the Digitakt manual should read "Now go watch a Dataline vid to see what all this stuff actually means". I've learnt about 19 different cool things to do! Thanks so much for the vid!!!

[@erixoff]

Sweet ! I love the pad begnning at 10:30 :-) And some vocal samples mangling, too. Good job !

[@TenMilL]

Great job! Love this video! Very inspirational and informative. Love these beats as well. Had a great time listening to this baked.

[@SoulfulElectricity]

i'm convinced too now! dataline, could you pls make a vid about to use it like a synth with sampling waveforms, you showed that first to Nick at NAMM or so.. it really sounds more than a synthesizer than a sampler, congratz elektron, you nailed it!

[@soulvibe319]

This just sold me and the only vid I watched on Digitakt.Can't wait to get my hands on this.

[@ANTWANPICKLES]

This is amazing. Please make a video of you creating the patterns themselves! I would love to see the workflow process

[@geecen]

So good to see this - Watching Mr Dataline working at full speed is amazing.

[@Hysteric_Subjects]

I didn't want a digitakt until just now. how awesome is that shit curious if what was done here is equally possible on rytm mkii..

[@ryanjones5803]

Why do i do this to myself? Watching these vids and GASing hard!

[@mitrayar]

Because watching gear being in action can be exciting and you want to be excited ;3

[@rhampton1914]

gIMEEEEEE bREAK...LOL

[@davidackermans9155]

:D

[@innerpull]

TUMS

[@DeeJay003]

This is up there with the best. Excellent work my man.

[@paulruben-sounddesign3748]

That's the most inspriring video I've seen so far. Thank you for this.

[@Holoverse]

Since I got my digitakt, I at least have some grasp on what he's doing here.... but theres still that 5% wizardry, where suddenly I have no fucking idea whats going on and it sounds amazing lol

[@AveMcree]

Sold! Great video Cenk!

[@shatteredsquare]

2:40 hold up you can parameter lock more that one trigger at the same time??!! I need more fingers...maybe a ruler with a little handle on it...maybe I just lay my left forearm across it...

[@slakk5093]

kind of shocked how awesome this is.. can't wait for my preorder to arrive :D

[@mylarmelodies]

Haha, 10 points to Gryffindor for the Altered Beast sample at the end there, Cenk x

[@Tyetheberious]

Just wow! Amazingly creative, and you certainly know your way around the Digitakt! Got any tutorial videos?

[@danpreston564]

This sounds so much like some of the ambient house I was listening to back in the early 90s. Gorgeous.

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

This video has done for the Digitakt what the Mylar Melodies 0-Coast video did - it makes me want to own one of these bad boys right now. I can imagine it playing very nicely with my 0+Coast.

[@MarcRenton]

I'm listening to your stuff in my car. Loud. Right now.

[@MrMooseMusic]

Oh boy...some next level stuff right here. Would you be able to demonstrate how this machine can sequence external midi gear? Thank you for all your videos!

[@antibodyproductions]

Day one and you dropped a full set. Ripping!

[@TheRealJustinMorgan]

Nice.. Would love a workflow video from you on how you setup transitions from one pattern to another.. Looks like you stop the pattern but leave long sample play while setting up the next pattern??

[@macjoe8256]

thats some dope shit ma dude much love y'all

[@sp-404hypnodiqsoundjunkie8]

@15:53 SEGA's Altered Beast "Welcome To Your doom!"

[@Deaphdot1]

hahahah nice one... makes me want to start hunting... and get a bunch of video game samples...got 2 8-bit synths to sample into this bad boy when it finally shows up

[@AFinalForm]

Is that some sort of internal sidechain compression between the kick/pad at 10:10 or is that Heat on the output or something?

[@grillskillz]

I was wondering the same thing. It sounds amazing.

[@MrCowfood]

the "active" light on the heat is off. But that is not to say that some post wasn't done on this - this is my guess.

[@MrCowfood]

That said, it was minimal post work imo. digitakt already has a delicious sound for it to come out like this.

[@BlackRegent01]

Possibly done by increasing the attack time of the amp envelope on the synth sample. It sounds like its ducking when really its just a bit quieter at the start of each synth hit

[@lbarnett748]

The speed of that finger operation. That’s takes getting use to. I thought the video was speeded up at first until I saw the step sequencer. Lol.

[@WxkR]

Well, the Digitakt is pretty cool. This price for an Elektron piece is too much to resist. But we all know it's Mr. Dataline who can get these amazing sounds out of the Elektron boxes.

[@DSMec]

seriously looking at the Digitakt right now, great set

[@TristanBaldi]

Scandalously fantastic...

[@gooneybird808]

dataline thanks for always being a baller dude!

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

How many Digtakt either side of a scratch mixer are we going to see, a lot I think!

[@TomasDiez]

so far... not many

[@mfb5642]

Mine came today, already like it WAY more than the octatrak

[@RecMirage]

Would you use it live vs using the octatrack live?

[@wavejockey]

surprisingly, the sound/loops sound more bigbeat than the drum samples (esp the kicks sound weak) // fantastic performance btw, looks like your hands move faster than time itself

[@Arviav]

Awesome! Can you make a full set with this thing? Looks really awesome.

[@viktorlewis3058]

Unbelievable how skilled Cenk is at manipulating his gear. Incredible transitions, inspiring stuff!

[@PaulWillocks]

Nice demo, really like the possibilities with this box.

[@hitthesynth6417]

I juste come back from my music store with my own After having watched every video on this baby I fall into this and I just want to cry! 😂 Thx for your awesome talent!! It looks so easy with you!

[@MrMalthusMusic]

Mate this is bloody unreal.

[@stmemusic]

Great demo of it's capabilities. You've got the best job in the world ;)

[@dagoblinn2350]

Love to see the sequencer trigger via midi out board gear

[@MikeSmith-nz4kx]

Geez this is good ... I am in awe

[@chugrooster2]

The track that comes together at the 2:00 mark... is that anywhere to buy on his backcatalogue? I hope so. If I heard that in a club I would lose my shit.

[@MySilver5oh]

Fantastic! Is the bass really that deep on this machine? I once owned a machinedrum which imo, sounded thin but that's probably my lack of programming/tweaking skills. This thing sounds beastly! I see the Analog Heat off to the right and I thought maybe it's adding beef to the sound but it looks like it isn't even turned on. Or maybe it's the quality of the samples?

[@daikuone]

Would love to see how you would use the Digitakt with the Rytm in particular. How would you use Midi in this case, and both together in terms of sequencing?

[@SmallOceans]

Around 5:00 min mark he does it trick to transition from one pattern to the next, can anybody tell me exactly what he's doing? Looks like he's previewing a file while he loads a new pattern?

[@gibbyhanes8357]

Definitely getting one. Pretty Shure that doing a third of what it's going on here I'm still gonna sound fine.

[@mattpiecora9645]

I have a digitakt and have no idea what he is doing.. he is crazy good at this. Legend

[@superadrien605]

7'20...absolutly amazing !

[@TheoVoidTV]

So good!. And he does most of this using 1 bar. 16 steps!

[@maikrobin]

Cenk´s skills are completely out of this world!

[@klaatuverata-_-]

Welcome to your doom! hahah! Nice altered beast tribute :)

[@Limpuls]

These videos makes me want to buy some kind of hardware so bad.. I've been making music occasionally for fun since 13 but only using DAW. Now I'm thinking about spending 500-1000$ on some gear. Was thinking about Arturia Microbrute + Korg Volca Bass for the beginning. What do you guys think? Would love to get into modular stuff too, but that's too expensive as it starts from 800$ for extremely basic setup and can get expensive to no limits.

[@echodub81]

dataline is on fire once more! great video!

[@nacrie]

This still holds up

[@CleanConnections]

What you have to take into consideration is could you make it sound like this? I mean I could watch Hendrix ‘demo’ his Strat but if I bought one I might decide it didn’t work properly 😂

[@PatrickGregoryDaniels]

That 2nd track made me respect you

[@magicdave93]

Great video, can't wait for mine hope you do a lot more videos like this.

[@kaostrip]

the master in action 😁

[@zegib]

Mr. Dataline IS IN THE MIX!!!

[@homelessballoon]

Digitakt is such a great instrument - easy to understand and fun to use!

[@atarix_official]

omg that tune @ 11:00 ...... dude thats just amazing. thumbs up!

[@FilipFerferiev]

amazing work, Cenk. You are pretty fast, when tapping or moving knobs... ;)

[@thepixelninja]

Will this be ever released just like other „Experiences”?

[@ifaber68]

Fantastic experience 👍

[@dmcgee7571]

The way you connect with these Elektron machines is downright scary at times. (Even the ones with displays that are too small to read) Can you prove you are not an Elektron android AI side project they are working on covertly? Awesome work as usual.

[@matthewholloway81]

Go on, do it then.

[@MBArkestra]

Nacht Schreck Great post! There was clearly too much positivity and support of fellow musicians happening here. Glad you could step in with some much needed negativity to bring the mood down.

[@vulcan6036]

Nice.. a master at work.

[@ponkor]

This is absolutely fucking outstanding!!! ( all of it and especially 07:40) great GREAT jam.

[@ibt12]

Thanks for uploading so many of these - any chance of a few in UltraHD?

[@Vandalsounds]

Great set!

[@EdSoloUK]

I love them pads at 8 mins in

[@robertsyrett1992]

I really want to buy one of these things and sample chet baker.

[@bigdap100]

Dang, this is hard! I think I'm getting one.

[@luismaior]

Can you use Chromatic mode on the MIDI tracks too?

[@DunnoBro92]

Yo, have you got the sysx dump for this one too like for the Digitone that you've done? :) would be sweet to check that out.

[@dklmusic7729]

great performance !!!

[@zxothon]

Great work!

[@davidlynch4338]

Can the Digitakt be played with a midi keyboard or controller for velocity sensitivity?

[@ShimanskiBeats]

cool what you did with these Swedish vocal samples :)

[@danieldemayo6209]

2 min in sounds so sick lol crazy how something can go from nothing to something with a few tweaks.

[@Beans_in_toasts]

Aight, I'm just fucking getting one - deliberations are over. If I can make shit like this on a Digitakt then I need it immediately. I love my Model:Samples, but tried getting into electric guitar - bought tons of new stuff, and don't enjoy it, so it's all getting sold and I'm getting a nice upgrade to the limited Samples groovebox. I already have all the good samples to stick into it, so I'm sold.

[@noodlingaround2023]

After reading your comment I’m curious. Did you do it and was it worth it? I ask cause I’m in a similar situation, getting rid of all my gear for a Digitakt. Thanks

[@Beans_in_toasts]

@@noodlingaround2023 Still haven't done it bro, but I'm still wanting it just the same!

[@noodlingaround2023]

Ha! I'll probably be the same..
