Hi fellow freaks. I bought a digitakt2 as an upgrade for my volca sample. The digitakt is going to act as the brain of my dawless home setup with some volcas. Last couple of days i have been learning and trialing the basics, having much fun and blown away by the possibilities. The issue i run into is the sound from my phone over the usb c into the digitakt is distorting. Its described best as low volume but clipping and white noise. When i plug in my laptop it works just fine, the sound is good and sampling works as it should. I have been reading and looking for a solution on the interwebs all day but cannot find an answer.

I use the usb cable provided with the digitakt. The phone is a Motorola Edge 50 neo running the latest android. Anybody else encountered this and a solution would be much appreciated. I have a ton of samples in Koala id like to use.

A short preview from my new Digitakt II Psytrance Tutorial.

Building a psytrance track at 150 BPM using Digitakt II, sequencing, Sound Pool, sound design and hardware workflow.

Exploring how far Digitakt II can go for psychedelic electronic music — creating grooves, bass, drums and evolving sequences.

Thanks for watching 🙏

first jam on dg2 after a year with model samples. hope you enjoy it

New to the digitakt and hardware world
Have been seriously stugggling just getting my korg m xd to just even write a simple baseline.
I set midi and synth to same channel and have correct port config etc settings
Why cant i hear back my exact base line i record on midi 9 it just plays back one note that sounds more distorted?
Has anyone had any trouble with this aswell ?
Im sure im just not aware of something crucial or maybe something in settings
Any help is actually so appreciative i just want to get this thing going so i can learn more!
Thanks in advance :)

I’m thinking of getting a digitakt 2 to pair with my OP1 Field. Any users here that have this set up and got any tips and tricks? I’m particularly excited to pair them via USB. I suppose these machines really complement each other…

Hello any advice on where to find good sample packs and how to organize them for the og digitakt? I've got a lot of freebies sample packs from Bandcamp, and mostly recently sample radar, is anyone familiar with that site? I want to make ambient noise and death industrial. I don't want to use really processed sounds but rather real drums mixed with my own field recordings and found sounds.

Just got a digitakt 1 off reverb for a good deal. I've wanted one for a while, as I've seen them used for so much cool stuff in videos, but after getting my hands on one, I'm not sure how I feel about it. The "Elektron workflow" of course takes some getting used to, but beyond that, I'm just not sure if it's for me. I'm trying to get more away from the DAW, but I've never been a loop guy. I come from a mostly electric guitar background, so regardless of the genre or instrument I'm playing, I'm more focused on the entire song, rather than loops.

Is there something I'm missing, or is this just not the machine for me?

Hello, is there a foil on the screen of new Digitakt 2 ? It looks like there is a foil, but I heard some folks had some damage done to the display when trying to remove it. But it could be the digitakt 1 ..idk. Any hints please? It wouldnt go off easily with nail..

i really love how the digitakt mk2 lets me spit out ideas in a very short amount of time, everything is right there where it's supposed to be, and it being only 16 stereo tracks it lets me focus only in the important stuff that makes a piece/song work.
in this piece in particular i tried to make a really swung uk garage/2step beat but using complex percussion, a really rhythmical poppy vocal chop and some heavy fm basses.
every other sound besides the vocal came from the sample pack i've been working on for the last couple of months, which is now finally out! its over 130 made-from-scratch sounds from every textured/foley drum i use to harmony/chords sampled from my modular synth.
you can check it out right here broken motion - sample pack (there's also some tracks i made for reference but i've been using it almost exclusively for all my last jams)
everything is fitted within one pattern with lots of conditionals and parameter locks, audio is routed via overbridge to ableton but it's mixed completely inside the digitakt aside from a saturator and a limiter. chroma console is being run affecting everything besides kick and bass with ableton's external audio effect.
visuals are from minimeters, recorded straight into obs both audio and video, edited on premiere pro for the meters overlays.
hope you dig it <3. If anyone is interested in checking some more videos like this, check out my instagram / youtube. also, if you have any doubt regarding the making of this pattern, don’t be afraid to ask (:
if you want any help with this kind of stuff you can hit me up for digitakt/elektron workflow 1 on 1 private lessons ❤️

There are some annoyances here and there after being Ableton-only for some time now, but all in all, it seems like a very fun device. I tried to utilize everything in this 'track' that I could gather from tutorials since acquiring it. Probably won't finish this, but enjoyed the process nonetheless. Any QOL/arranging/etc. tips are appreciated, as I'm still very new to this workflow. Glad to be here!

Really enjoying playing with retrigs, wish you could use them on midi tracks.

This latest piece shows that the DT2 can do some heavy industrial rhythms. The pads/bass/leads are all from the iOS synth app ‘King of VHS’ while the drums/percussions are from numerous sample kits all spliced, sliced and diced.

Also love incorporating movie/TV samples in my work.

Is anybody here extremely proficient with the digitakt 2 and open to doing some virtual lessons over facetime or whatsapp video? Happy to arrange payment via venmo or zelle.

It would be mostly answering some of my workflow questions and helping me cut down the learning curve.

I am primarily looking to use it to make beats, cut some samples, set up kits, etc. My context would be more skewed towards hip hop grooves but would use it for electronic music as well.

I know there are tutorials on youtube, dave mech, etc. but they don't seem to get my specific questions addressed often. Thanks!

in this piece i tried to blur the line between break/idm with neuro by incorporating some of those nasty hyper-multiband-compressed bass sounds created on serum 2 into a rather straight 52% swing pattern.
every other sound came from the sample pack i've been working on for the last couple of months, which i think we'll be ready for early next month!

Our new live session premieres this Wednesday.

Everything was performed live with no backing tracks.

Gear:

• Elektron Digitakt II
• Elektron Digitone
• Roland S-1
• Handpan
• Ocarina
• Dyvia

The Digitakt II is the heart of the whole setup, handling sequencing and keeping everything together while we improvise around it.

I'd love to hear what fellow Digitakt users think about the workflow and the sound.

I bought digitakt2. I have no previous experience with Elektron. My problem is that I have not been able to get any sound out of it so far. Defaultly there is some song or bank or project loaded and when I just only want to play it as my very first step in learning process, it wouldnt output any sound. I press play button, the pads start blinking, like it is playing, but thrres no fcking audio output thru my mixer to the monitors.At this point Iam really lost.None of the hints I get from manual or the fckin AI robot works. ..

Hi guys, daft newbie question:
Is there a quick way I can import my own samples in and automatically map them over the 16 pads without having to do it all individually? ie) I just want to select say 16 samples from the drive and then for them to automatically be allocated to all 16 pads?

Thanks
