Tutorial #9: Creating classic Dub Techno Chords with the Elektron Digitakt (Stock Samples only!)

Hello. It was about time for a new Tutorial from me - i think ;-) So today i want to have a look at how we can create some classic Dub Techno Chords with the Elektron Digitakt - using only the stock Samples it comes shipped with! In particular im using the Single Cycle Waveforms which can be found in the Toolbox Directory.
There are much more of these Single Cycle Waveforms available on the Internet. The most known Collection is probably the one created from Adventure Kid (AKWF Waveforms). You can find this huge collection of Single Cycle Waveforms here:

I hope you like this Tutorial. If thats the case: Dont forget to leave me your like. And if you dont wanna miss whats coming next: Hit that subscribe Button ;-)
All the best my friends,

Super useful!

[@umonox]

😇😇😇 thank you Jeremy! Im keeping an eye out for the amazing Stuff you will do with this! 😁 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year dear Friend! 🎄 🎆

[@naumchomsky8840]

Ahhh I knew this sounded familiar.

[@MennoHoman]

I finally ordered one!!! I have never produced any music but i do dj a little bit and am a computer programmer, if my feeling is right than working on the Digitakt is like programming tunes ;-)

[@bigdap100]

We need an update to play chords, this would be huge.

[@arjanpetersen]

Wont happen. You can resample chords

[@bigdap100]

@@arjanpetersen this was 3 years ago, and they have the Digitone now...but this was a huge mistake not offering chords.

[@Dj.mr.melodic]

I'm completely new with the digitakt and you an amazing amount info which is great, just a little too fast for newbies like myself, I realise you are more like an expert, but could you slow down your tutorials so we can understand what's going on, sorry to complain ❤

[@assassinpotter1891]

Sir, I have problem with recording 1,2,3 sounds . When i press recording , and then check the new sound , is only white noise , why ? ( the third minute)

[@umonox]

Here we go. Classic Dub Techno Chords made entirely on the Digitakt! Enjoy!

[@mch6897]

Fantastic tutorial!!!!

[@michaelsabrsula8381]

Now I want a Digitakt

[@umonox]

😇😇😇

[@evillain999]

ja nice joke^^ you can do this stuff almost with any other hard- or software sampler. so, why buying a little fiddling box with tiny display for chords?

[@alienanxiety]

zrbrr schtrrr "a little fiddling box with tiny display" oh, the ignorance.

[@EnCrypticon23x]

Some people like to get away from the laptop, ya know? I've always wanted a single little toy for doing Dub Techno stuff..

[@carbonealpha]

@@evillain999 WHAT'S AN ALTERNTIVE TO DIGITAKT?

[@lowbias]

[@erikbennacer2717]

I know what I will be playing with once I complete all this nightmare with CFA studies.

[@JLeonSarmiento]

It’s not D#, but Eflat if it’s Cm

[@syncworm]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@umonox]

youre welcome mate!

[@neoskepsis7106]

Very nice tutorial my friend 🙏 !!!

[@gangsta6700]

Reichen die Hall- und Reverbeffekte aus oder sollte man sich noch einen externen Hall oder Reverb kaufen ?

[@ianeye68]

- this is great. thank you so much.

[@umonox]

youre welcome! ;-) glad you like it!

[@lostinventions8928]

This video and 'Fall Is Coming' are pretty much responsible for me buying a Digitakt! Love your channel mate. Big ups!

[@DaWanMtp]

Thks 🙌

[@EVILTJ67]

I have a question that still tilts me, how can i sync a voice sample with the drum, as the voice sample isnt the same bpm as the drum pattern, for example 130 bpm drum pattern, with a voice sample

[@urban94]

Just reproduced on my machine. Very easy to follow, good job :)

[@bashaenraets9156]

Great introduction for noobs! (Like me. 😄) Thanks!

[@mas3974]

Highly enjoyable and educational even though Idon't have one of these it makes me miss twiddling knobs like i did back in the day.

[@SebastianBeyer]

geil danke .Digitakt ftw:O. Sehr nützlich beim ersten Elektron

[@umonox]

merci! :-) und viel Spaß!

[@mariowillstorfer2481]

This Elektron Dub Sound is amazing.

[@mewraz]

Love this! Please keep them techno videos coming :)

[@umonox]

[@nym053]

Aarh that's actually a clever way of using the parameter locking.

[@bogdanma]

Super! Really helpful

[@umonox]

Youre welcome ;-)

[@kristinngumundsson6198]

Not simple ! Sorry!

[@dietervoser4425]

Sehr informativ ! Merci.

[@RaskolnikovR]

really interesting thanks

[@captainmauser4675]

Super Tutorial. Kannst du nicht auch welche in Deutsch machen ? Hab versucht das in etwa nachzubasteln was mir auch einigermassen als blutiger Anfänger auch gelungen ist...immer Pause und die Einstellungen gemacht um alles nachzuvollziehen. Es gibt ja 1000 gute Tutorials in Englisch aber leider nur sehr wenige bis gar keine in Deutsch auf KZbin.

[@umonox]

Hi. Das liegt daran, dass Englisch fast die ganze Welt versteht; Deutsch aber nur ein winzig kleiner Teil davon ;-) Wäre blöd, wenn ich 90 % der Erdbevölkerung meine Tipps vorenthalte, oder? Deshalb: Wird nix in Deutsch von mir geben - auch wenn ich aus DE komme ;-) Sorry. Hoffe, du kannst trotzdem ein bischen was aus den Videos mitnehmen. Grüße

[@krigadiga1546]

nice tutorial!!

[@paulhorsley8922]

Very well explained, good English too, thank you 😊.

[@umonox]

youre welcome :-)

[@spoppp]

Thanks a lot for the video. You just made my mind up to get a Digitakt!

[@umonox]

Youre welcome. Nice to hear that i convinced you :-) Cheers

[@solongyouth]

Fantastic tutorial.

[@solongyouth]

Still coming back to this video once in a while. Wonderful stuff.

[@GuitarManiac1975]

Klasse Kanal und super Video(s)! Wird mir bei meinem Einstieg in die Elektron-Welt wirklich sehr helfen.

[@umonox]

Merci! :-) Wünsch dir viel Erfolg und viel Spaß. Wirst sehen: Wenn die Elektron DNA einmal injiziert ist, kommst du nicht mehr davon los! :-D

[@GuitarManiac1975]

umonox ich befürchte, dass du damit Recht behältst... ich giere jetzt schon nach mehr 😉

[@rustle9369]

so you can only have one note per track?

[@umonox]

on the audio tracks? yes! these are monophonic. on the MIDI Tracks you can have more notes per Track.

[@stefpir]

umonox more notes and chords to control for ex an external synth (maling a 4 notes chord on a blofelf for ex)?

[@claytonlevibrown]

this is dope huh. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to waste all the time recording samples or transporting samples into the machine instead of working with the instruments themselves.

[@umonox]

depends. creating the Chords on the Digi itself has advantages: You can exchange Waveforms on a per Note Level and if you spend a lot of time with this you can come up with Sounds an ordinary Synthesizer cannot deliver ;-) Its like having a Wavetable Synth built into the Digitakt, you know. If you dont have time though - its obviously better to hook up a real Polysynth and play the Chords in directly.

[@claytonlevibrown]

Yeah, it's tough to make the decision on whether I want to buy it. I'll probably have the time.

[@umonox]

just get it and if you're not satisfied - return it within your grace period. im creating a whole "how to make a full track on the Digitakt" Series of Videos right now. Going through the Process from Start to finish. Maybe this can help you getting started with this little beast. Just check them out - they are coming online every 2 to 3 days now. The first one is already online. Cheers

[@TechnoShamanism]

great bro, thank you!

[@umonox]

youre welcome!

[@nobodyneverknows]

17 minutes on how to make a chord ? cmon...

[@lostinventions8928]

Many producers can make a dub chord in less than 2 minutes but who cares? This is a great video and shows a lot of cool features of the Digitakt, which has many limitations to negotiate

[@stefpir]

I think he meant that the digitakt could have managed chords more naturally and more efficiently.

[@HatredPrime]

Very good 17 minutes

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

Lol! That made me chuckle. So true.

[@sonnuone]

17 minutes to pronounce your name too.

[@petebezruc9219]

if you want to make videos that someone should learn something from, then talk faster and press the button even faster. Just the faster you squeeze and the more we will probably learn to talk.
