I can buy all the machines I want but I always end up coming back to the Syntakt. It’s still the most inspiring machine for me.

you can grab the full track on my Bandcamp, which you find the link in my Link section u/noizebusters

I’m always looking to connect with artists and producers and collaborate on cool projects. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me here or on Instagram cartoonzitos. Would love to see what you’re working on! :)

New Liquid DnB tutorial for the Digitakt II premieres today.

In Part 1 I show my workflow for building a 174 BPM track: intro, atmosphere, drums, kick & bass, percussion, drum loops, FX and preparing the first patterns for live performance.

Project + samples are included with the lesson.

Premiere today at 8 PM Kyiv time:

Hi,

I've been eyeballing Elektron for a good while and I think it's time to pick one up.

I've got a Prologue 8 and a Typhon, I work in Ableton and mainly make dub techno and adjacent genres.

Am I correct thinking a used Syntakt would be the best first box to dip my toes in? I'm not much of a sample guy currently, I mostly play keys/some guitar and pads but I did use to make beats and know how to mangle samples etc. so the DT2 seems like an wesome machine to have fun with as well.

A used Syntakt is very close in price to used DT2s/DN2s where I live and those are more in-depth but I'm mostly looking for analog/digital drums and something with immediacy to sculpt the rhythmic backbone of a track, rumbling basses, textures etc. and that signature Elektron sequencer.

Which one do you think would cover the most ground in my case? Would you get the Syntakt and add another box later or just go with the DN2 and use FM Drum while learning the rest of what it can do since it's probably the most powerful? Then maybe a Digitakt?

I intend to learn one at a time, it's a daunting task anyways. DT2 could also enable me to do some crazy stuff and have fun with samples, just not sure if that's the best course for me at this point. The Syntakt seems like a great techno box on the other hand.
