Elektron Digitakt II Drum Machine/Sampler

Elektron Digitakt II Drum Machine/Sampler Overview

Digitakt II is a digital drum computer and stereo sampler offering many times the power - and sonic possibilities - of its predecessor. It may be a familiar shape, and the same recognisable playfulness, but there is so much more power under the hood. And that brawn is at your disposal whatever the sound. Drums aren’t all it’s capable of. There are all kinds of melodic and harmonic possibilities to play with, not least straight out of the box via the revamped sample library.

16 Track Digitakt Drum Computer And Stereo Sampler

The Digitakt experience has evolved, offering an even more modular approach to sound creation. Mix and match the layers of your sonic landscape using any of the five distinct sample-manipulating Machines. Slice samples into precise fragments with the Grid, or venture into new sonic territories with Werp. Use Repitch or Stretch or to fit your sample to the beat, and of course there’s One Shot for those crisp drum hits and tones. Choose from several swappable filters for each track. One filter is fixed as a base/width filter, but the other lets you swap between Multi-mode, Low pass 4, Comb, EQ, or Legacy LP/HP. You also have a filter envelope and a separate amp envelope of ADSR - for more definition and control - and AHD - ideal for those short barks of percussion. Three LFOs per track give you the chance to go wild in modulation land. Try different waveforms and destinations on for size. Go subtle or go weird, both can be wonderful.

Full on play time

Digitakt II is a playground of sonic possibilities, packed with features designed for creative fun. Gather your favourite sounds into Kits for quick access, Perform Kit mode, inspired by a dash of hidden Machine drum magic, gives you the freedom to experiment with your kit without overwriting its save state. A deeper control all allows instant parameter command across all or specified tracks. Trig modes offer super-fun ways to activate 16 levels of velocity, retrain, or bring the Preset Pool to the surface to record multiple sounds/different Preset Locks into one track. Activate keyboard mode, and play chromatically across 10 octaves, with over 30 different scales to try on for size. With that range you can warp a sound with ease.

Song Mode

Song Mode is available on Digitakt II from the get go, letting you seamlessly create, edit, and play compositions via a playlist of your patterns.

Connectivity

Connect to your other gear with balanced stereo ins and outs. The 16 tracks can be used for MIDI in, out, and thru, so you can sequence, play, and control full flocks of external instruments. MIDI is now able to quickly learn from your devices, sending them renamable CCs, triggers, sequences, and LFOs that can be saved to your kit for quick recall.

Packed with sound

Digitakt II is packed with tons of samples to get you up and running. Dip into the preset pool to access over 1000 carefully created options from drums to percussion to melody.
