Time Stretch on the Digitakt: tutorial for a fun and easy effect!

[@meenasalamamusic]

Awesome walkthrough, seems like this works more for lo-fi or hip-hop type beats which is probably where the majority of case use scenarios for time-stretching samples. ordering mine soon, can't wait to try this out!!

[@SlowHaste]

Thank you!! Yep, you nailed it. Although I could see the application working for any kind of background texture for any genre really!

[@meenasalamamusic]

@@SlowHaste yeah I guess it'll take some experimenting to figure out different ways to apply it, I wonder if you could play with the envelope more to tame some of the pulsing..??

[@gatorgoforth3097]

I appreciate your knowledge and your graciousness to give credits where credit is due.

[@SlowHaste]

Oh of course!! This was far from an original invention, but a tool I felt important to share with folks, especially in the context of trying to wrangle more ruggedly captured samples.

[@AndrewJohnClive]

Dude, thank you soooo much! Dialectrics (❤️)forgets some of us are mere mortals. 🙂🙏🏻🤘🏽❤️

[@SlowHaste]

Hahah I was so happy when I found his method & wanted to try it out on some unstructured samples! It really works pretty great

[@joshbosworth6207]

Nice video. +1 sub Gotta spend some time recreating this later. I've had my digitakt for just a few weeks, and it's so friggen awesome I'm ordering a Digitone to pair w it. Elektron rules.

[@SlowHaste]

Glad you enjoyed! I’m super tempted by the digitone and am going for that or the Minilogue XD as my next addition

[@EastJunctionMusic]

Super cool, thanks for sharing this technique!

[@SlowHaste]

Happy to help!

[@roytosseram3831]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@t1d3s]

Don't even own a Digitakt anymore but find myself watching until the end! Such quality videos dude, nice insight into your techniques and inspiring new way of looking at things in my own music, thanks a bunch 🖤

[@SlowHaste]

That means a ton, thanks for always supporting!! I feel like it strikes such a balance of freedom & limitations and it’s become very natural to sit down with it and start creating right away.

[@t1d3s]

@@SlowHaste My pleasure mate, I definitely agree there! Take good care

[@sketchdashaman]

10:10 I like rhythm wise. 🙂

[@rakazamra148]

Thanx!! Can u do a demo of a drum loop timestrech?

[@SlowHaste]

That’s a good future vid idea! I tend to program my own drums, but it could be fun to make some of my own loops to timestretch.

[@dialectricStudios]

Yooo hell yeah dude

[@SlowHaste]

Thaaaanks!! Your videos are super useful, I found them recently after messing with some of Loopop’s granular methods and it was a perfect extension to that.

[@fishyrising]

You probably already know this but if you press on the encoder while turning them you go through integer numbers

[@JDVVV378]

Great video and tips as always can i apply this also on bass loops en drum and top loops?

[@SlowHaste]

You sure can!

[@JDVVV378]

@@SlowHaste cool! Would love to see a track from scratch in this style from nothing to a full track and master. 🙌

[@mem.9697]

Game changer! Just to be sure, The sample has to be a perfect loop and the loop has to start at 0 in order to work? I'm having trouble making it fit correctly

[@SlowHaste]

The sample should be a loop, yes! But the start should be in the middle of the sample if I recall correctly (it’s been a bit since I’ve played around with this), and you will need to adjust the depth of the LFO accordingly, depending on how many “cents” on either side of the sample you want the LFO to travel

[@G0nz0uk]

This was really useful Daniel, I'm going to try this. I was using this video below a couple of weeks ago with with an amen beat sample, it was really good apart from having to edit on the computer kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2q7iKWsiZysb7s. What I have also been trying today is taking a recorded sample of background noise of people talking and adding lots of delay and reverb so it sounds very ambient and dreamy then adding it to different triggers, but also parameter locking a different start point for each and then trying to use a LFO to randomise it using the sample start to get a self evolving pattern, but it doesn't work that well yet as I'm missing something.

[@SlowHaste]

Thanks Andy!! I’ll check that video out for sure. That sounds like a cool trick, too. I feel like randomized crowd burble would be a cool effect, are you having issues getting discernible/distinctive voices standing out?

[@G0nz0uk]

@@SlowHaste Yeah but not making it sound repetitive. I'm guessing starting the sample where I want it too and at various steps on a 64 step pattern with a reduced probability of being triggered on the various steps? I love the simplicity of some ambient tunes like 'Tha' by the Aphex Twin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqiYcpyIi9aZp80
