Elektron Gear Syntakt

Hello.
I made a Syntakt Beginners Mega Tutorial. Unscripted as usual, but I managed to cover a bunch of topics. Chill out and enjoy :heart::zap:

it’s a great tutorial! Thanks!

A dedicated table of contents would be good, but you can also read it on the video screen.

I miss something about the “TRIG MODIFIERS”, but they aren’t that well thought out either.
Performance buttons like the device would have been better.

I found this video helpful from the perspective of a first time Elektron product owner. I used this tutorial the other night and got about half way thru and now I’m experimenting with sound design before moving on. The tutorial moves at a nice pace, but I usually watch in 5 minute chunks and then practice playing the Syntakt for a while before moving on.

The semi-transparent overlay of the screen in the video is a nice touch. And having a clear view of the unit throughout was helpful as well … being able to see the order that buttons and knobs are manipulated is pretty important in learning.

Having knowledge like this available to unleash creativity is a real blessing that should not be taken for granted.

Always dig your content, Cuckoo. This one’s a little beginnery for me with my DT/DN experience, but still able to glean some nuggets of wisdom.

I can only imagine how many Elektron n00bs you’ve helped have great experiences with such gentle, thoughtful instruction (including me when I was a fresh acolyte).

Thanks for all you do.

Hi Cuckoo!
Watched the whole tutorial and find it helpful, but more focused to first time Elektron users. Based on the title of the video, I supose there will be a more in depth second tutorial. I’m waiting for this second tutorial like a child in Christmas. Hope to be upload in the next days / weeks. It would be cool.

When I started with Elektron machines, I really really really appreciated your Digitakt and Digitone full tutorials and watched them several times.

May thanks for your job!
Cheers
