Iām using it with my microsampler now. It works pretty well. Chromactic mode can control can either play the sample on keys or trigger different samples and you can put both on the same midi channel which could offer some flexibility but mostly its just a mess. using the keyboard side lets you have keygroups of a sort (up to 36) but so far I can only switch samples on the ms-1 and via midi, I fell like thereās a way though. Overall though, I realized how damn limited the ms-1 is midi wise.
Iāve never used an Akai rack sampler but Iām thinking this might be a great companion. Could anybody tell me if they own an s-series and if it seems like a good companion piece?
Minimal Setup for the Digitakt would be:
- Digitakt
- Powerbank
- Microphone
You dont need more

The videosynth is Lumen. Its software but its very nice, easy and intuitive. I wanted a Critter & guitari ETC (hardware) but its a bit expensive, so I need to save up for it. In the meanwhile I have a lot of fun with Lumen.

Iāve been looking for some time a replacement for the Monomachine BEATBOX machine.
I was sick of using two tracks (over six) just for drums.
So, I guess thatās going to be Digitakt job by now. Sick drumlines, with MnM which brings its own flavor.
Still discovering DT but hell, thatās going to be a nice combo!

Digitakt + op1 and battery for both is a killer combo
What iām actually using is
Digitakt
Avalon 303 for bass
Preenfm for dx7 soundish
0coast for lead
Eurorack 6u 204hp
Sherman filterbank compact
Waiting for a poly analo but probably prophet 6 module (I didnt knew the footprint was so big before seeing the picture earlier with the ob6. It scares me a bitā¦ haha
Iām in between selling some
Maybe the avalon is too much and i donāt need a poly analo. Would love a poly pro2 tho haha
Should have kept the op-1 but soundwise itās not that interesting.
Digitakt + mpc live would be really nice. Or digitakt + ipad.
Digitakt + preenfm is also really nice. Would love a multi fx qualitybox.
Something with filters as the sherman but with valhalla or OTO reverb/delay daaaaaaamn
or a small footprint thing with soundtoys plugins inside 
0-Coast is such a appealing instrumentā¦
i am sure its a great combination

Yes it really is, acoustically and optically 
My Idea for the setup is the o-coast, a mixer and some pocket operators (PO-14 SUB and PO-20 Arcade) sequenced by the digitakt (or the korg SQ1). But mainly i will use the digitakt ājustā as a drum-sampler for messing around.

Cool thanks ! A shame itās not a line recording. How do you go about chopping breaks into the digitakt ? From the specs and itās inability to timestretch and slice it looks like it would be fiddly.
Iāve got various gear that gets setup and put away often. Permanently on the desk though is my Monomachine, Akai Xr20, and a reverb pedal. I try to keep everything contained within that environment. As soon as my Digitakt arrives it will be replacing the xr20.
I didnt chop, i p locked start point, loop and play forward/backsards
The amen i used was in 175 bpm, my song stayed in 175. I think i have to import all amen loops to ableton and timestretch them to 170 or 175
This works very well to me, place trigs and p lock them. I did this with many patterns without thinking, then i used the best ones. I made full loops of 64 beats, in 16 beats with condition trigs. Next to this i made fills of 16 beats. This gives me a lot of beat variation and the true jungle vibe
I hope its clear, questions are more than welcome
