Yan Cook / Digitakt Jam

[@Jamerrang]

Just ordered this. Can't wait to be absolutely crap at it...

[@eightbitsofdeath]

ordered yesterday. can't wait to be absolutely crap at it as well. life goals.

[@Jamerrang]

Stick with it. It’s a game changer.

[@Jamerrang]

1234 abcd there are limitations on top of limitations but there are also infinite possibilities. It’s mono, So you can’t play chords using the chromatic function, but you can always bounce several tracks onto one, and then spice it up with some trigs and LFO. No time stretching is a really annoying one, so when you change the pitch the sample will play at a faster/slower speed. The 8 track thing is annoying too, but again, you can resample and bounce multiple tracks onto one if needed. From my POV these issues haven’t stifled my creativity at all. I’ve become much more creative with the machine and come to think about composition differently. It depends whether you have time master the machine (which I haven’t yet but am trying to do) or whether you want something that you buy today master in a week.

[@RileyGein]

The 8 track limitation is also somewhat remedied by the fact that trig locks let you use multiple samples on a single track. Also some really fun tricks like running midi out back into midi in and using the 9 midi tracks on the bottom as extra LFOs

[@ChrisFeeney]

I bought one and I am also crap at it, and by crap I mean, I make a nice 8 bar loop and realise I can't be arsed structuring it into a track, I then switch it off, and repeat the process every couple of days 😁 I have also repeated this process with the rest of my studio gear, but On the upside ...it all looks impressive 😁

[@pipelonjfrmm]

This is absolutely lunatic just clean dark atmosphere no pretending sound, what a masterpiece. You are very talented!

[@purelucknoskill5158]

dark?

[@oddromantic5898]

I keep coming back to this one... great performance!

[@herrNihil]

It would be great to see a Digitakt tutorial from you! Superb stuff!

[@internalreality]

I find myself coming back to this video, even after buying this awesome black box. Great work man.

[@dazzyboy1000]

@Yan Cook. You are one of my favorite artists. I'd love to see a video on how you make a track from scratch and your sound design techniques.

Dude. This is choice. Very very well done. This had sold me on finally pulling the plug. Edit: Just got one mint off Reverb

[@WeAreDaftt]

welcome to the cult fam

[@ultrajayme]

@@WeAreDaftt I held back for years because all I heard was "such a steep learning curve" but that's such a lie. At least digitakt isn't hard at all. Just a process of learning all the simple techniques and where stuff is. I was on an MPC for a while and that's ridiculous with all the menu diving. Elektron is extremely fun and it's pretty basic commands tabs. And the sound....!

[@whit3devil]

@@ultrajayme just bought it too, its literally so intuitive to use lmao. i watched few tutorials before buying and was able to use it like it instantly, efficiently. even if i didnt know some stuff it was easy to figure out on my own or look up on the net/in the manual

[@OfficialSomaRecords]

Brilliant!

[@LiquidProj3ct]

Congratulations. You are one of the 1% that makes use of the PTN button! Amazing

[@twilotube]

Really nice! That kick @ 08:29 👏

[@donkeadik8707]

I stopped messing with my 707 when I got this thing because more synth stuff. Haven't touched either since I got a Deluge, but still one of my favorite instruments

[@JustinUrban1]

Love the kick and snare. Been trying to get that lo-fi crunchy snare sound for awhile now.

[@Lushrave]

This is the first digitakt demo where someone actually plays a nice tune, not just random noises/fx.

[@ignacioarfelimusic]

So true!! Jajaj

[@gahb4326]

I think you should review your preception of music than

[@raysubject]

there is more interesting stuff on YT with those magic boxes (digitakt & digitone) .. for example this guy has amazing jams too kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvbYYWvgqqSfLs or this kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ7OkK15m56Yh9E or this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqLcqadqq7hsY9E

[@3039-m9o]

I don't agree

[@108julo]

Almost every digitakt video there is this comm...... Come one..... There are a lot of good video about the digitakt, just look for it!

[@6ix611]

This Is Straight 🔥🔥 My Man.. Like Damn!!!

[@ActualKaktus]

Cool techno/industrial/deep house vibes.

[@pabloheit3045]

I got a digitakt for this video, thanks for the inspiration!

[@mkktbkkt5015]

I love you man, so hyped for the griessmuehle in april

[@jeanbaptistekrauss]

i wish his live wouldve lasted longer, it was super nice

[@nelsondjordjemijic1533]

Real Deep Techno Sounds. Respect.

[@antfactor]

Elektron makes truly fantastic machines... I just wish their manuals (and occasionally interface logic(s)) made more sense. Thank goodness for all the impressive tutorials and inspired presentations (like yours) on KZbin.

[@albertosalza1138]

Great sounds - very cool performance

[@aaronhart3371]

You should totally make these into kits. Amazing. Makes me want to buy a digitakt now!

[@нэгужасный]

Very nice, cool, awesome!!! U are super!

[@karolpadiasek5461]

this is nuts! seen / heard few times and will be back many times for sure. also bought Digitakt inspired by this track / set :D Big respect, hope to see you at some point in Tresor - your techno is top notch, bro !

[@hartware6155]

Great performance! I will put this on my recommendations in one of my next vids.

[@Übereine]

Just got your new release raw af. Love it man

[@Wouterferdinand]

This is actually really good. Well done!

Джем з дігітактом подобається,чомусь,найбільше!

[@dymmalowitz5465]

Плюсую неистово! Хотя, казалось, бы, Digitone в плане синтеза позанятнее будет.

[@basteroid1589]

То что ты делаешь это очень круто, дякую тобi

[@fromvillgee]

вибрации очень превосходные.спасибо тебе за творчество

[@koitka2037]

Awesome!! Digitakt!! Magic!!

[@fen4554]

Interesting to watch your workflow. I find there are so many different ways to do the same thing with the Digitakt that I often times don't know what's better to automate, especially with the conditional trigs, and what to do live.

[@Claidheambmor]

Many different ways to do the same thing? Like what? Don't understand this comment at all.

[@NoisyMachines]

Amazing! Great performance!

[@sinalalenia6300]

love it , please make a tutorial how to make techno with digitakt

Would really love to see what you would do with a digitakt digitone combo

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

Your named reminds of that cooking show from the 90s called Yan Can Cook

[@Tertium8]

I used to love to watch that guy chop! Ironically this guy has the chops too. 😳

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

This is the same show, Yan is still cooking

Very DOPE!! Thanks 😊

[@albertosalza1138]

Hi Yan, I purchased your project files for the Digitakt II and they are very powerful. I would also like to purchase the project files or sample packs of this fantastic session for the Digitack I. Thank you and congratulations. Alberto

[@YanCook]

I didn't save this project file, but I remember I was using many of the factory samples.

[@albertosalza1138]

@ thanx Yan. Have a good day

[@mrbass093]

Hi yan, do you separate your composition and sound design? Or do you do your sound design as you start making your beat?

[@nobodyneverknows]

lol

[@Claidheambmor]

I do wish people would stop calling songs 'beats'. 😂

[@bouncygangsta]

can you please link me to where i can buy the last track. TAKE MY MONEY!

[@VinceWallace478]

bro do you own an octatrack? if so please make a video with it

[@argiletonne]

lufs of track?

[@Goth108]

Do I get this or Octatrack MK2? Which one has the edge in terms of character?

[@becket_1677]

lovely that.... did you write the track on the digitakt? or use the digitakt to preform a pre written track?

[@YanCook]

All three tracks I made on the Digitakt.

[@becket_1677]

Ace! Was really tempted to get one of these groove boxes to go along side the RYTM, this vid has pretty much made the decision for me :)

[@Franovan]

great performance, i've been watching it a lot to learn! did you set the digitakt to change the patterns right away when ordered or it wait one pattern loop before it changes?

[@YanCook]

Thanks! I change patterns manually, and every pattern is 64 steps (4 bars).

[@drvegas9579]

yF Ø was the beers on our st hy

[@111Dark84]

cools a cools jam fantastic it is i was wondering what does the purple lights yellow lights mean on the Digitakt i know this sounds dumb to ask i am just learning the Digitakt is all any way ur work is awesomeZ

[@vanessalouzon]

Really good!

[@touiarrial5823]

Amazing ! I am looking for a companion to my OT: should it be the DT? Or the polyend tracker?

[@YanCook]

Thanks! Both are great, I personally like the tracker more :)

[@Lbpbest1]

Yo guys im a total noob in music production. Is the ENTIRE track (all samples, fx...) Made only in this digitakt hardware?

[@clintblack6070]

sehr geil

[@Skiamakhos]

DAT BASS

[@seren.a3633]

this was really nice to listen to. thanks for that. im still struggling with mine, so much combinations to keep in mind. how long did id take you to arrange that peace into that final stage ?

[@Nairod_Airsoft]

Nice job ! Why did you Nevers use thé 8 botton midi? Can you put sample or audio on this one? For have 16 différents song? Or it’s only for contrôle external midi audio ?

[@cs7160]

Amazing sound. Are the sounds presets of the Digitakt? Or are you triggering your own sounds in ableton?

[@YanCook]

Some samples I uploaded and some are from Digitakt.

[@Lu_x2]

great! Where can I find this track? :)

[@YanCook]

These tracks probably won't be released.
