"Nowadays my setup consists of a giant eurorack modular (8 rows @104 hp, ever growing and changing), Waldorf Micro Q Keyboard, Kawai K5000s, Elektron Octatrack, Analog RYTM, and Digitakt, and a revolving door of other little things that come in and out."

Description

Compact, rugged and to the point. Digitakt is a formidable drum machine. With an astounding feature set and an exquisite digital sound engine, the stage is set for a striking encounter.

Rhythm is a fundamental part of music. Off-kilter beats, four on the floor workouts, polyrhythmic excursions all serve the same purpose. They provide musical structure and sometimes they even make us dance.

Digitakt is a new compact drum machine from Elektron. It contains all the necessary tools to make people move to the beat. A digital and highly flexible sound engine, sampling capability, a live-friendly sequencer, the means to control external MIDI gear. Round it off with a super crisp OLED screen and wonderfully tactile back-lit buttons. Done deal.

Drum machines are something of an Elektron speciality. With the Digitakt we show why.

Very intuitive.

Seems incomprehensible at first, but once you know it, it's one of the most intuitive samplers I've tried. And I have owned both a MPC 1000 and Mpc 500.

It is nearly perfect, and no I don't want an Octatrack

The digitakt is endlessly fun, useful, and easy to use as a center for creating whole tracks. I think it has mostly been marketed as a drum machine, but I use it by itself for most of my live gigs, and it's great for performing ambient or more beat-oriented electronic music. I'd like to see Elektron update it and give it glide, and maybe an arpeggiator, but as it is now it is nearly perfect in my view.

TRIG CONDITIONS!

Takes no time to get up and running with this guy-and it’s my 1st Elektron piece of gear. Fun, fast, intuitive, it’s made its way to the front of my studio in just over a week.

The hype about the sequencer is well deserved- it makes any concerns about the limitations evaporate soon as you dig in. Awesome fun w/ the LFO destinations as well- I’ve not yet set it up to run midi for the rest of my synths but soon as work calms down I CAN NOT WAIT. As for it’s limitations they’re all welcome. Love this box.

Redefining "in the box" music.

I love this machine. It is truly inspirational to use, and I always end up with something good each time I turn it on.

Inspiring box

Sober looking sampler. An instrument by itself, that allows you to modulate your grooves and patterns into unexpected horizons. As it is super compact, it's easy to bring everywhere. The integration to a system of other gear is more complicated, yet there are tons of help and tutorials around the web.
