That is a lovely acidic sound you’re getting from the AR!
Thanks! I miss that little guy! However, I think this new ST fellow might do just fine in his place. Just need to acquire one.

My Syntakt arrived yesterday and i love the bleepe percy fmish sounds with more complexity than on m:c.
I really like the combination of analog strength and wirrd clicki clacker stuff. Only the fx block inserting is a little confusing to me at the moment. 12 Tracks simultaneously feels like getting newer out of tracks. And the machines are selectable for each track individually. Thats a big changer in comparison to the rytm with some weak machines like the three toms imo.
Love it.

Wait, the Rytm had tom tracks? I thought the middle row were the sample tracks. Well that’s what I always used them for. 
Decent 808 kick on the bass tom at least.

I actually really enjoyed that. Not bad coming out of a drum machine.

Can anyone confirm if the analog FX (filter and overdrive) is for pattern or global?
It’s per pattern.
There is a 13th track, the FX track, that allows you to sequence its parameters as well.

I think so but just in case.
Thanks a lot!
So looking at the manual you can set the external inputs to either stereo or mono inputs, but there is no individual pan or delay/reverb sends for each mono input like there is on the Analog Four. Seems odd, have I understood this correctly?
I believe this is correct and strange since digitakt can do this so lets hope a firmware update adds this!
Okay thanks, thought I might be missing something. So can you use two mono synths with it or just one? It’s a bit confusing
Does anyone know if you can use the new scale/keyboard fold on the midi machine?

Held out for as long as I could. But into the syn city I fall…

Yep. Just opened my Syntakt and this was the first thing I did. Pretty cool!

I love the combination of syntakt and rytm mk1. Its like an expension with sample playback with analog filters and ovdrv and all the other benefits like performance makros, scenes aso.

Hey everyone loving the Syntakt, anyone else tried pairing it up yet with a midi controller? It‘s so good! Mod wheel and breath control I’m accessing in this video, so every track has two performance macros which open up to 4 parameters each.
Example:
Track 13 - Bass
Pot 1 - MOD WHEEL - opens decay, filter, env amount, resonance
Pot 2 - BREATH CONTROL - Reverb and delay send (2 parameters still spare)
It’s ridiculously expressive, been dreaming of something like this for live performance for a very long time! I will post a full breakdown tut soon

Ah this is awesome. I actually didn’t realise you could use these parameters as macros when playing back, I thought they were just for playing live. Performance macros is one feature I miss from the bigger boxes, thanks for pointing this out. Your demo sounds amazing btw, think I need an ST

Same here! I’ve been wanting this for so long, the analog four got me hooked on performance macros back in 2011. It’s a big reason why I bought a Hydrasynth and also once I knew what the Octatrack crossfader and scenes did, I finally bought that too. A synth drum machine with performance macros has been on my wish list for years, very happy with what Elektron have done, this things is

This is how I used my Digitone with the Keystep 37 to achieve the same thing. I do wish there was a “Project Macros” page where you could program the 8 knobs similarly (up to four parameters each) just like the Hydrasynth, but hooking up an external controller and programming the mod and expression cc is a good workaround.
