Elektron Digitakt 5-stars Reviews

MIDI Brain

This machine is insane, and once the Overbridge software was released, for the first time in my life, I could use my machines with Ableton without lag issues.

Used it to control the Minilogue, Minibrute and other tools, and it just keeps on giving. The more you dig in, the more you discover about it.

Totally recommend it: super durable, metal case, quality build.

Road ready

This is my first sampler, an area I thought I'd never be interested in till I got this but has totally flipped my perspective on how much is possible to do with samples.

The built in 8-track MIDI sequencer is also fantastic, and has let me get even more control out my other gear. 8 MIDI LFOs!

A fantastic machine

This synth is absolutely fantastic. It sounds great and manages to be extremely versatile while also having a ton of character. The firmware has been updated continually and the features expanded considerable.

Awesome drum machine for the cash

Awesome value for money drum machine. I have the Rytm now and love it but the DT is still a really compelling machine! Moving from it to the Octatrack i realised just how good its FX are , and I really missed the overbridge option. Highly highly recommended!

The best drum machine out there. It's the heart of my setup and controls almost everything, with 8 MIDI tracks it's a powerhouse sequencer and beatbox

All around beautiful machine!

Mechanically and ergonomically the Digitakt is a thing of beauty, this might not be a metric you would think about when buying a "grove box" type machine but if you think of it as an instrument these aspects are very important indeed. And the Digitakt really is an instrument. As for everything else, expectedly as with anything Elektron it's flawless!

ELEKTRON

I love the device. small powerhouse. which comes with a cost: menu diving and double functions on almost every knob or button. Don't like complex machines: get something like the arturia drumbrute impact or similar. If you want to do sample mangling (not timestreching) on a small machine that is below 1000€, DIGITAKT is one of the best out there.

The Love Box

Totally love the Digitakt with great sounds and sampling capabilities, Exciting features in the sequencer and very usable effects i am totally in love with this product. 10/10

Thank you Elektron

Perfect drum machine

I opened the new world.

Drum machine have a lot features and I'm like an astronaut (elektronaut) discover them. Absolutely wonderful when at third use day I found out that there is a new block of menus when use Func key :)

I expect that drum machine is hardly limited with 8 tracks. But youtube and Ricky Tinez (oh thank you man!) changed my opinion: you can write to one track each new iteration of track. Of course you wouldn't be able to undo previous changes in the simple way but if you need it you can do it with a couple of manipulations.

So I'm learning further how to use it and have a great fun. Especially I think about the moment when I will feel need of Digitone and connect it to a music station with Digitakt :)

Some negative points is that software still in development and Elektron don't work simply with my Macbook. I haven't enough time to find out the correct connection way so just use zoom h4 to record the result.

But Digitakt still have a pretty place in my playground.

Thank you Elektron.

So much fun!

It take a little while to learn the basics but you won't be sorry for putting in the time! Sounds tremendous!

Awesome sampler

I really love how Elektron sounds. But I think digitakt have some compromises.

GreAT GROOVEBOX/SAMPLER

I GOT DIGITAKT FOR 2 REASONS.

The first one was to get away from screen and the second to use it as a brain for my live rig!

This thing is amazing.Im working with it for 6 monhths now and i have just managed to scratch the surface of its posibilities!

Great construction and feeling .8 sample tracks with endless customizable abilities each.8 midi tracks that can control midi divices via midi cable or usb(i managed to do that also).

From the time that you ll learn its workflow you ll not be able to make music with anything else!

Amazing product! I only miss polyphony on the individual sample tracks but i just use a polyphonic sampler in one of the midi channels!

Great piece of gear!

One more thing you can work with it silmutaneously with your daw with overbridge!

Highly recomended

Elektron Digitakt

I used this product for a home studio. it has crisp sound. what I like about it it's toughness, absolute satisfactory. The screen is marvelous with a clear window, . The more you learn, the quickest you go, a genuine joy.

Pros :

- a simple machine with a complex outcome

- very compact and rather sturdy

- very clean and Elektron-typical sound.

- designed for live output

- the overbridge feature is very promising

- very good value-for-money.

Cons :

- mono sound

- requires time to get beyond its apparent simplicity

- the 8 tracks are not enough

- OS new needs updating

it lacks tutorial and what comes in the box is quick guide without illustration of how to use.

:)

The Digitakt is the perfect partner for eurorack or semi-modular synths. Get sampler and midi features

Fantastic!

Connected all my instruments to Digitakt using Quadra Thru - now i have single controller for all my gear. Feel myself like a space ship driver. Everything works perfect.

Best regards,

Truly incredible machine

Wow! This thing is amazing. Tons of features. Excellent build quality. Looks and feels very, very solid. As far as drum machines and sequencers go, the Digitakt is incredible for its price.

The workflow on this machine is quite unique. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get into it, the beats more or less write themselves! It's very common to have "happy accidents", where you mess with the parameters of a pattern and end up with something far better than you started out with.

I would strongly recommend this for anyone looking for an all-round drum machine and sequencer.

Excellent Little Machine

Can not fault, If you are looking for a drum machine, this is will do the trick and more for a very reasonable price

very good sampler / grove box awesome pre load sounds !

Top top top

One of my best purchases. You can do almost anything with this machine!

Construction is really solid, design is beautiful (classic Elektron) and sound quality is excellent. I don't know how Elektron make all their machines sound so so so good. But thanks for that!!

Very good for live performance.

Effects are amazing.

The sequencer is awesome to use and very versatile.

Buying his sibling Digitone.
