Questions & Answers

How does it work? Do you need a computer or is it just able to work on its own?

I am Anthony. Digitaltakt is a stand-alone instrument, so you do not need a computer to use it. However, you need to use Elektron's Transfer software to load your own samples onto your Digitakt. In addition, this instrument comes with a lot of preloaded samples, so it can be used right out of the box without being connected to A very important thing to keep in mind with this instrument is that it is excellent, but that it has a

Do I need to load the samples on this device using a computer or does it have sampling capabilities?

As it does not have a microphone, it cannot sample into a machine in this manner. Alternatively, you can click the L &amp J buttons You can record a sample from almost anything using a 1/4" input Engineering students in their teens. There are tape decks, phonophones, and much more to choose from. Also possible is the presence of a computer on the other end.

Is there a way I can import midi files and use Can the USB cable be used to transmit audio and midi?

Due to the lack of support for MP3, this sequencer cannot import Midi files. To transmit Midi signals, you will also need to use the Midi outputs.

When it comes to returns for items like this, what is the policy?

How much it costs depends on where you purchase it. The item must be returned within 30 days for items bought directly from Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon (your best bet is to check before you place the order). In all other cases, the policy will be determined by each music retailer.

Selected User Reviews For Elektron Digitakt DDS-8 8-Voice Drum Computer and Sampler

Exceptional sound, not the easiest to use interface (but it pays off in the end)
5/5

Elektron, so this is a big deal for me. The tank-like construction makes it perfect for battle I think the case, the buttons, and the knobs should be able to withstand much more abuse than I will pay for. This sampler won my attention because of the parameter lock and trigger condition features - they really catch my attention at a price like this! From listening to the samples, I can tell that the quality of the sound is very good. The reason for this is because Even if you do the same sequence on a step-by-step basis, you can add probability percentages, ratios, and if/then qualifiers, allowing you to make it sound (potentially) different every time. That's pretty neat, and that's very cool! In this context, I would like to raise the following cautions Despite being one of the Elecktron instruments that is supposedly easier to learn, it still has a fairly steep learning curve compared to something like the Korg Electribe sampler, My understanding of the workflow did begin to make more sense as I practiced and studied, and the device began to feel like a musical instrument to me after a lot of study and reading, as well as That said, I love my Digitakt device. I add the following to the report Seeing Elecktron's workflow for the first time has been an eye-opening experience (some might Since Elecktron displays things (screen navigation, knob layout) pretty consistently from one instrument to the next, I was able to put my analytical skills to use on an Analog Four Mk II I had the opportunity to work with. I like it!.

This digital instrument is fantastic! I must admit that this is one spectacular product! It takes some effort and patience to get comfortable, but wow, this is really You think differently about it the more you listen to it, and I would describe it as a unique piece of digital music
5/5

To me, it was the perfect combination of hands-on tactile handling of samples, rhythm composition with deep sequencing. Also, the overbridge 2 beta (the software to integrate with a DAW) was a really nice surprise. It is free it works perfectly with FL Studio, and it gives you the ability to sample anything your computer can play back. That's also an incredible sound, so that helps a lot.

In spite of the fact that I have so few days with it (fortunately I am on a 2 week holiday) I spent 3 days installing samples and reading information and watching tutorials to get a grasp of it (which is pretty easy) and I must say that I am quite In terms of sound, the automatic pitch correction algorithm sounds lush and warm, the sequencer sounds great, the lock/unlock functions are effective and the conditional triggers are handy
5/5

Basically, it's a pretty dope machine. I was up in the air between this and the MPC Live, but I am not remorseful for my choice. I have my first ELEKTRO machine, which I know will be followed by many more. We now move on to Digitone. It's just a matter of buying After all the familiarization I did by reading tutorials and watching videos, I'm beginning to feel like I'm getting to know this machine on a deeper level. What a polyrhythm, parameter locking slice of heaven!.

My favorite Digitakt app is Little machine with a lot of depth
5/5

It was going to be My circuit had too many shortcomings to keep it, so I sold it and bought a Digitakt instead. Its parameter locks and trigger mechanisms allow it to become a versatile sound generator. Simple sound bars can become ever-changing Despite the fact that the Digitakt isn't a synthesizer, I use it almost Make samples of all your favorite synth sounds and then you can manipulate the sound in a variety of ways once loaded onto the Digitakt. As well as being very easy, it is also very fast. I really like the Digitakt, and I plan to buy a Digitone as soon as I can.

You've got to believe in People have always commented on this instrument's build quality, but I never took it seriously
5/5

There's no way that it can be as good as everyone says. You've got to believe in Despite the price tag, I feel like it is worth it. It encourages the user to experiment. Although it was released a while back, I still consider it a worthwhile purchase in this year of A deeper dive is just around the corner.
