Elektron Digitakt - Using MIDI with External Hardware

- The Digitakt has 8 tracks of MIDI that can control your external hardware in various ways. We explain a few ways in this video so let us know in the comments section if there is a feature you want explored.

Finally someone showing how to actually connecting the midi in detail, not pre hooked up. Great video!
i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
This is an amazing tutorial for the Dgitakt! Well done video club :)
clear and comprehensive. Great!
Such a wonderful tutorial. Thanks!
Fantastic video!! Thank you!
Thanks for making this! Well done!
Pure gold ! Suscribed.
great video thank you
Nice work - thank you so much
I can’t wait to try this with Hydrasynth
thank you, very helpful
Nice Vide. THANKYOU. Can you explain how the midi thru box is connected in this setup please?
Uhh new vids bout the digitakt, nice and thx
gracias buenísimo bro
Thank you!
This was very helpful and comprehensive. Do you have or would you be prepared to make a video explaining how to set up the Digitakt to be controlled by an external MIDI hardware? For example setting the sliders on my controller to control volume of each of the 8 tracks
Track Volume CC MIDI value on Digitakt is 95. Depending on your MIDI controller, you can assign that value to your sliders/faders or you may have to use your DAW and MIDI mapping.
@@ElektronVideoKlub My midi controller is programmable. Are there any specific settings I'll need to enable on the Digitakt, other than ones already covered in the video, to make it work? Or is it pretty much the case of looking up the CC values in the Digitakt manual, programming the desired encoders to that value on the controller and it'll work?
Thank you for your response btw!
I've managed to figure it out actually, thank you for your help thus far though! 😊
my biggest question: can you play on the keyboard of your external synth and capture the midi on the digitakt to achieve anything close to live looping?
Late answer, but yes: I use e.g. Korg Prologue as midi keyboard -> notes are saved on digitakt sequencer -> notes go back to trigger Prologue synth engine. Works pretty nice for me so far :)
The video quality !!!!
This is a golden tutorial. Thanks!! Question: Can you enter notes, cc changes into the Digitakt using your external synth--rather than using the buttons on the digitakt? Kinda like what you do with the Pyramids sequencer, where it records midi values and parameter changes from your midi'd synth to the Pyramids? Or is this a one way proposition with the Digitakt?
Excellent video, extremely helpful. Would it be possible to connect a controller keyboard to the midi in on the Digitakt and use this to play in notes into the sequencer instead of the buttons the Digitakt itself? Also, as there is only 4 note polyphony would it be possible to set an external synth like the pro 800 to 2 different midi channels so it could play the full 8 notes of polyphony from the Digitakts sequencer?
Thanks for any help.
For example, is it possible to assign MIDI channel 9 and 10 from one device, in my case the Mircrofreak? With different sounds? If i change the sound on the Mircofreak its changes all MIDI channel, i want different sounds from one device. Nice video btw. :)
Noob question, to use 2 different midi instruments, i need quadra thru or a midi interface hey? I have midi chanel 1 assigned to virus ti. And channel 16 to volca kick. But virus doesnt have midi thru 😒
It it possible with an external keyboard synth, to alternate between using it to play audio samples 1-8 on AutoChannel, and then back to playing the actual sounds on the keyboard itself?
how to connect the digitakt to monitor? are you use (midi out - usb) to your monitor? or you just only use (elektron usb cable) to monitor?
Bro.... Was that Chrono Trigger sound effects I hear in the intro?
I do have a question: @elektronvideoklub: are you using a particular mixer to combine both JU06A and the digitakt?
For the video, we ran both machines into an audio interface and monitored the audio with headphones.
@elekteonvideoklub wich audio interface?
@@ilusionwiibrawl The Zoom R16.
Another option with the latest firmware (1.30) would be to run the JU06A's audio output into the DT's audio input, and mix them using the DT's external mixer. Once you have a third audio source though, you'd need a dedicated mixer.
And if for example I wish to connect two or more audio devices to DT? Will they both be acting as two separate mono channels? I mean if Digitone sends audio via its two outputs, and I have another modular system I wish to have sound from as well - so I need a separate external mixer to have all three pieces sounding? Thanks!
bro do you know the answer now?))

Hi! I want to connect the Behringer TD3 and the Volca Keys. They both got midi channel number 1. How do I connect the two without them producing the same patterns?
Change the channel on either td3 or keys. It’s not fixed to channel 1. Normally it sticks between on/off though so you usually just need to do it one time. how you do it varies, even between volcas but it’s always possible. Can’t remember keys presses of the top of my head. I think td3 might be slightly easier (no reboot).
