With a powerful digital sound engine, sampling capabilities, and a performance-friendly sequencer, the Elektron Digitakt excels on its own as well as being a sweet sequencer for your hardware synths. Load up sounds in the eight audio tracks — each with its own multi-mode filter and assignable LFO — and process them with Delay and Reverb send effects. Use the eight dedicated MIDI tracks to sequence external synth modules, keyboards, and MIDI-capable effects. While factoring in over 1GB of onboard storage, USB and MIDI connectivity, and Overbridge support, engineers concluded: the Elektron Digitakt is an extremely powerful digital drum machine and sampler.
Familiar Elektron sequencing
If you've used any of Elektron's analog series instruments, you'll be familiar with Digitakt's sequencer. Trig Conditions and Parameter Locks open up vast creative potential, allowing for each sequence step to have completely different sample and parameter values. The sequencer also features a +3 note offset on every step, allowing you to sequence chords up to four notes.
8 tracks for hardware MIDI sequencing
The Elektron Digitakt is an extremely capable drum machine for hardware rigs. In addition to its eight audio tracks, it packs eight additional sequencing tracks for external MIDI gear like synth modules and MIDI-equipped effects processors. You can create a completely hardware-based setup, or use Digitakt as a MIDI interface to send sequences from your DAW to external gear.
Take control from your DAW via Elektron Overbridge
Producers love Elektron's Overbridge technology. Overbridge lets you integrate your Digitakt drum machine right into your DAW, routing audio to and from your hardware via a single USB cable. Better yet, you get a whole graphic user interface to control every major aspect of Digitakt, essentially turning it into a plug-in.
