Part 1 & 2 of my Digitakt mini series are out now. I'm also considering doing another section on the arranging in Logic X, so I will see if i can squeeze that in.

In my opinion, the best thing about the Digitakt & Elektron products in general is how creative they make you. I've used tonnes of hardware samplers and virtually every type of software sampler and the Digitakt without doubt leads you into the most interesting places out of all of them.

It also has a great sound quality too it that people don't talk about enough. The colouring is not as noticable as something like the Akai s1000 but it's definitly there. It probably sounds more like my EMU E5000 which is a bit warmer & less gritty then the Akai S1000.

FX wise - You've got an Overdrive, Chorus, Bit-Crush, Sample Rate Reduction, Reverb Send, Delay Send, Master Compressor & Master Overdrive.

Combine this with some great sounding filters & lots of interesting modulation and performance options and you've got yourself a winner. Now we just need manual slicing and ping-pong loops!

I working on a Patreon video over the next couple of days so look out for that.

Hope everyone has a good week! Big ups,

George

Jungle on the Digitakt Mk2: A New Direction

Hello everyone again! Back with Part 2 where the tune took a bit of a different direction. I ended up using a lot of the elements I made in the first video but this one felt a bit more groovy so I fleshed out this idea into more of a full arrangement. The next stage in my process is to edit & mix/master the stems in Logic. I will do my best to film this if people would like to see it? Please let me know in the comments If you want to support my channel and this video has tempted to buy a Digitakt Mk2, it would be amazing if you could use one of my links below. 😊 🙏- - - Affiliate Links - - -🙏 🇬🇧 Andertons - https://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=323652&a=3325175&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andertons.co.uk%2Felektron-digitakt-ii%2F 🇺🇸 Perfect Circuit https://link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/8-12626-341955-9759?sid=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Felektron-digitakt-ii.html%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOorx397eb-BTMX3VShRQS85SyPqhj_sdm4mz3zPbqw-5J_WjKQht ⭐️- - - Patreon - - -⭐️ https://www.patreon.com/groovining/membership 💎- - - Sample Packs - - -💎 🌴Planet Jungle - https://www.groovingbiz.co.uk/planet-jungle 🐬Aquatic Dreams Bundle https://www.groovingbiz.co.uk/aquaticdreams ⭐️ 90’s Jungle Pads - https://www.groovingbiz.co.uk/90drumfunk - - - - Chapters - - - - 0:00 New ABD Chord Sequence 0:33 Looping Pitch FX 1:09 Reworking The Amen Break 1:54 Same Notes But Different Rhythm 2:07 Sexy Vocal 2:31 Looping Snare Pitch Roll 3:18 Testing Out The Arrangement 4:03 Copy Track & Pitch up 12 & Filter 5:03 Figuring Out Another Chord Variation 5:12 New Chord Pattern 5:30 Yea Vocal 5:53 Sound Design Tremolo Chord 6:53 Reverse Snare 7:04 Break Fill Variation 7:15 Rolling the Groove 7:30 Uhm Yea Looped Vocal 8:13 Rolling Amen Break Layer 9:02 Slow it down to 120BPM 9:40 How to Setup the Digitakt In Logic Pro 10:40 Printing the Full Arrangement
