Overview

Status: Available

After much teasing, Elektron's Digitakt is now a reality. It's fun, affordable, portable... but like all Elektron's gear there is a bit of a learning curve involved. In this 2-hour + course, beat expert and electronic music performer Thavius Beck gives you the lowdown on this compact 8-voice drum machine/sampler/sequencer powerhouse.

First, you get an overview of the Digitakt's structure: you learn all about projects, preset patterns, banks, tracks and the factory content. Next, Thavius covers Elektron's live-friendly sequencer in great detail. Once you know everything about retrigs, p-locks, and trig conditions, you'll understand why Elektron's sequencer has attained legendary status! Of course, a whole section of the course is dedicated to sampling external gear and re-sampling the internal sounds. The Digitakt also allows to sequence external MIDI gear, and Thavius covers this topic thoroughly in the last tutorial.

So turn on your Digitakt, join Thavius Beck in this 2-hour+ class, and get ready to propel your beat-making skills to another level.

I've had the Digitakt for a couple of years and this helped me streamline my own workflow and I learned facets of the Digitakt that I hadn't picked up elsewhere.

Thavius Beck is so knowledgeable about Elektron gear, and he is able to convey that knowledge (and enthusiasm) in his courses. This is a great overview of the Digitakt - playing along with his course really gets you to understand how to use the machine. Highly recommended!

Thavius Beck just has the coolest presentation. His voice is soothing but engaging, his information organized, and his demonstrations perfectly clear. I was a little put off by reviews of the Digitakt because everyone says it has such a learning curve. After this course, I feel that I will be able to use the device without running into too many obstacles.

Excellent dive into the EDT black box! The nod to DC Go-Go let's me know Thavius is a really cool cat.
