Break your creative boundaries wide open and set the stage for a striking encounter with the Elektron Digitakt II, a compact sampling drum machine that can capture and manipulate fragments of time with its dynamic feature set and exquisite sound engine. The Digitakt II now features stereo samples with 16 sequencer tracks and 32 audio voices in total. You can utilize dual mono samples to layer and shape two sounds per track. The machine has been updated with 20GB of sample storage and 400MB of sample RAM (35 minutes of stereo samples) and each track can be configured as a MIDI track.

The live-performance-friendly sequencer not only works with the onboard sounds, but provides a means to control outboard MIDI equipment. Like all other performance machines by Elektron, the Digitakt II offers parameter locks, which allow any sound-shaping function to be sequenced to any point on the sequencer; this results in powerful effects that are accurately timed. What's more, any parameters that have been adjusted can be undone at the press of a button. A Song mode lets you create, edit, and play compositions made from dozens of patterns. Full Overbridge support allows for full integration with DAW environments, including a dedicated VST/AU plug-in interface.

A compact sampling drum machine that is capable of summoning monstrous beats or delicately layered sample-scapes before setting you up to unleash your creation using the powerful sequencer. Drum machines are something of an Elektron specialty, but this is only half of Digitakt's story. Watch it weave a spectrum of wonderful sounds into any tale. Let the machine do the talking, and see where the story leads.

  • With a multitude of sound-sculpting features, this is a box you should open at your own risk. Using the hi-res encoders, you can easily begin sample crafting. Using versatile multimode and base-width filters, break the sonic ice with overdrive and various send effects, and wield two LFOs for twice the modulation.
  • In addition to using eight sample tracks, you can MIDI-control and sequence up to eight external instruments too. Or, stereo process an external audio source and bolster it with some lush reverb and delay.

  • Digitakt has Song Mode at its disposal, a feature that lets you create, edit, and play compositions made up of dozens of your patterns. It’s a hugely useful feature for all kinds of scenarios and for all kinds of artists.
  • Want to have a deeply customizable backing track, leaving your hands free for other sweet gear? That’s entirely possible. Extend beyond the limits of the 64-step sequencer; create entire setlists in a single song, and so much more.

  • The full-featured step sequencer lets you control both structure and sound. Press a step and tweak any parameter onto it for ultrafast and detailed sequencing. Real-time record every twist and turn you make, or build your composition one tonal nuance at a time. Add some controlled randomness and logic with variety-inspiring trig conditions.
  • The amount of musical content you can fit into each of the 64 microtimed steps per track is astonishing. You can choose the transport speed and number of steps per track, for some proper polymetric power. The sequencer is like a canvas. Expressively splash those colors all over it, or methodically and accurately place each fine-tuned stroke and add embellishments later.

Ultradurable backlit buttons let you play and control eight dedicated tracks for internal audio and an additional eight for external MIDI gear. The bright OLED display will provide all the visual information you need as you explore the weird and wonderful depths of the machine. Tie everything together with its powerful master page. Class Compliant USB audio gives you even more connection options for a rewarding music-making experience.

Start creating, experimenting, and producing, straight out of the box. Digitakt comes preloaded with 400+ factory samples made up of heaps of great electronic and acoustic content. This megapalette includes 23 electronic drum kits, 42 one-shot synths, 44 synth stabs and pads, 83 single cycle oscillators and noise loops, 1 percussion kit, and 4 stellar acoustic drum kits from renowned drum-sample creators. 

Seamless computer integration:

  • Overbridge comes with the Digitakt, offering powerful tools and deep control when connecting compatible Elektron instruments to computers. And Overbridge 2 integration of both analog and digital instruments with DAWs is more effective than ever before.

Overbridge makes life easier for musicians:

  • When the beauty of hardware meets the advantages of software, your creativity takes center stage. Experience music-making made more fluid.

To DAW or Not to DAW:

  • Dedicated VST and AU plug-ins connect devices as if they were software instruments, while the standalone plug-ins have built-in multitracking capabilities.

Flex some sonic muscle:

  • Stream multichannel audio directly through the plug-ins. Or, use your Overbridge machine as a high-quality sound card.

Stream by stream:

  • Affect digital computer audio with analog hardware processing. Or, process individual track streams from a device inside your DAW.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how to open to change the batteries?

Q: 2. lost volume control ability. Everything else works. How can I restore?

A: Please follow these steps sequentially and check if it resolves the issue: 1. Press the Home button on your Roku enhanced remote 2. Scroll up or down and select Settings 3. Select Remotes & devices and then select Remote 4. Select Set up the remote for TV control

Q: 3. Does this charge through a USB connector? How long does it take to charge? Thanks!

A: The Sony TX660 Digital Voice Recorder BH #SOICDTX660 will charge its internal rechargeable battery via a USB connection to a computer or an AC USB charger/power supply. This recorder should reach a full charge within 4 hours. Per SONY: • You can charge the battery by connecting a USB AC adaptor to a household power outlet. Being able to use the unit while it is charging is useful when recording for a long time. When using a USB AC adaptor, use one that can supply an output current of 500 mA or more. Charging from other devices is not guaranteed. • Do not use a USB adaptor that exceeds the maximum output of 13 W (5 V, 2.6 A)

Q: 4. Can I plug several high-bandwidth usb 2.0 devices such as webcams and share bandwidth of usb 3.0?

[35 Minutes] This is a great little machine I use to record with in my home studio. The A and B patterns are helpful from switching from verse to chorus. Programing takes some effort for the perfection of a song, otherwise the presets sound great. Two variations of drum fills are good and the drum tones sound great, especially once you learn how to tweak them a little bit. The touch sensitive pads are excellent for building up to that climax in a song. Don't forget to order a set of foot pedals, you will need them. I would suggest this machine to anyone who needs a low cost, great sounding, easy to use drum machine.

[Monochrome OLED] B&H was nice to deal with and had the best price. I've owned and used an alesis hr 16 for over 10 yrs in the past and the good news is, some of the basic functions carried over. This thing has impressive sounds and I will be home recording with it. To demystify some in regards to the bass, simply hold down mute and press the bass button. It took about a half hour to figure it out since I was unable to quicky find that in the manual. With only an hour with it, I've made a few cool user songs with little effort. Alesis is a great product.

[Digital] This unit has been around for years it is easy to use and sounds great. I don't use the sounds I use it to flog midi out to my Kurzwiel pc3x. It works great ether in general midi or custom notes to match any implementation

[32 Voice] I'm extremely impressed with basically everything about this drum machine.

To start with, the hardware is impeccable. Made in Sweden, *extremely* robust-feeling (heavy metal construction), excellent QC. All buttons feel good, pad sensitivity is very good. The physical design is excellent.

The firmware is also quite excellent. I have experienced zero bugs of any kind, and the UI/UX design integration between the firmware and the physical controls is really good. They've clearly put a huge amount of thought into how people are going to use this. One downside is that you do have to go out and learn Elektron's data model (what is a song vs a pattern vs a track vs...), but there are a number of good youtube videos explaining this clearly.

A big surprise - the desktop software is actually really good! I'm used to musical instrument vendor software being absolute garbage, and I would normally never e.g. install a kernel extension from a musical instrument developer. However, Elektron seems to have some really competent software people! Overbridge engine works quite well, and lets you do really cool stuff, like record each of the 8 tracks *individually* into your DAW using just a USB cable.

When I compare this to a certain other well-known Swedish instrument manufacturer (who doesn't actually make their instruments in Sweden...), this device comes out ahead in every single metric. So glad I got this!

[35 Minutes] I use this product live, triggering with 2 foot pedals whil I play my Nord keyboard. Numerous people have commented on the quality of the drums and how realistic they sound. This is my second Sr 16. I just bought it for a backup since my other unit is 10 years old, but still functioning flawlessly.
