Can the Syntakt sound like a Helicopter?

absolutely sick. your SY chord only track you posted earlier was the main reason i decided to give the syntakt a chance, and those two really drive the point home. thereās a lot more depth to that instrument than i initually assumed.
that inharmonic/metallic hit that comes in at 6-ish seconds in the first one, is that SY CHORD?

Thanks, Iām honoured!
Yeah thatās right, itās SY Chord with some audio rate modulation applied. If you want to check it out in more detail, I posted a project file containing that pattern in another thread. I think it was pattern A01, here:
Have fun with your new Syntakt!

Throwing another one on the pile. To challenge myself I gave myself 60 minutes to make a track, and this is it 
Direct out of the ST, no additional processing.

The only thing that I would like to have in the Syntakt now is more effects. I know itās possible! Please give us comb filter and chorus! haha (and more chords)

It sounds wicked, cool possibilities with the FX block and great to have analog and digital machines in one box. Loooove it

After six fun weeks with the Digitone 2, I took a hard look at the Syntakt again to pinpoint what it can do really well that the Digitone 2 simply canāt do. This jam was what I came up with.
The Syntakt is such an incredibly fun analog synth!

This sounds amazing! Another reminder that the user outshines the gear (although the ST is pretty boss)ā¦

Solidly crafted as always! Cool trick running the ST back into itself, gotta try that

And what was your conclusion in light of the DNII?
Yeah thatās the question! 
Keep in mind that Iām always using one device at a time when making music, so for me the question has been which of the two is the most well-rounded and flexible one that Iāll have the most fun with.
On paper, the DN2 wins in the ādepthā department since it has more tracks, polyphony, arp, chorus, more interesting synth tone machines, 8 bars of sequencing, etc etc.
But this tune above focused specifically on the area where the Syntakt really shines and where the Digitone 2 canāt compete at all, and thatās in those highly driven analog sounds.
So I think the answer, to me, is that Iāll keep both. Iāll probably make more music on the DN2 in the short term because thereās so much new stuff to explore there for me. And I think every time I pick up the Syntakt to make music, Iāll deliberately abuse those analog tracks and the FX Block since thatās the secret sauce it provides that the DN2 canāt provide.
In other words, Iāll probably make slightly different music on each of these two devices. I clearly love them both.

I tried to help out a naut dialing in a specific FM bass sound using the ST/Rytm analogue enginesā¦ Failed. Only managed to get close with the ST digi voicesā¦ Anyhoo, had fun and found new sounds from my ST (going to flesh this out later - headphone mix from the Bebe)

little funky idiotic pattern created with feelings from Wii game Munchables

All sounds are made with Syntakt but heavily processed, resampled, chopped, pitched etc. I think this also might be my favourite way of using the Syntakt atm: As an incredible flexible source of raw material for later usage in the DAW.

one of the best pieces of hardware for this exact thing

@Oxenholme and you certainly put it to good use
I canāt seem to finish anything these days, so here is a collection of patterns. Some hard-hitting, some more mellow. All Syntakt, mostly through Analog Heat.

These are all super vibe-y! Straight out of some scruffy techno bunker. Great stuff.
