Your digitakt setup

I recently decided to go through and downsize my setup a bit. Sometimes less is more! It started when I realized that I didn’t have the space or acoustic treatment to get the proper placement and thus sound out of my studio monitors, so I decided to switch to 2.1 speakers instead. I mean I’m not a professional any more, this is merely a hobby. And in an imperfect space I appreciate the space savings and artificially enhanced low end :wink:

In this setup the Deluge is the master clock, and also can sequence the Digitone and Nord Drum. The Launchpad Pro is simply acting as a MIDI controller to allow velocity/pressure sensitive playing on the Deluge/Digitone.

Since the K-Mix has 8x8 ins/outs, I’m able to send audio from anything to anything. So I can route things to either the Deluge or Digitakt for sampling, or to the Digitone for effects (once they fix the pops and clicks!)

You might wonder “why would you want to sequence the Digitone when it has the world famous Elektron sequencer in it?”. The reason is that the Deluge has no maximum/fixed track length, and can be much higher resolution. Plus this way I can also use the Launchpad Pro via the Deluge as a MIDI controller.

At some point I will get some nicer stands for the DN/DT as the Isberget from Ikea does flex a bit more than I’d like. And this may look totally different in a week!

I unfortunately had to go out and buy a shelf to contain all the orphaned machines while I try to decide what, if anything, I will get rid of.
