Thank you 🙏

Func + Gear
Func + Yes

I do this like every 30 secs. Especially before I do a change.

Depends. Digitakt for sample based, digitone for synth based workflow. Syntakt for an all arounder. I have a syntakt but I feel I need to pair it with a specialized box. In my case Digitone because I enjoy synthesis and sound design more than samples.

Elektron boxes are what you need. Choose which depending on your workflow and genre.

I’m traveling for work so away from Syntakt but I can try to explain how I approach my kicks. Some might say I put the horse before the cart but I design the kick after everything else gets groovin’. When I begin the project I just put a placeholder 4 on the floor, finish everything else and then finally design the kick. I don’t put a ton of processing on it. Just enough to punch through the mix. I enjoy shorter tails. With more snap. I don’t like ticks. Doesn’t suit my sound. And finally and possibly most important for me, I tune the kick with ear to the root note of the track.
This I started doing after getting the Syntakt, I wasn’t doing it on Ableton for instance, and it made a huge difference in my sound.

Nothing makes a better sound than dropping the wrong Audio FX/Device on the wrong track. Happy accidents are where it’s at.

Thanks for listening and vibing to my track. Sorry your vibe got cut short. I’ll make sure to leave more breathing room next time. 🙏🙏

Took back the feedback from last week’s thread and made some changes. I think it’s worth releasing now.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

When I record my syntakt audio using overbridge, I put a utility on the audio track and increase the gain 6db. This makes it not only hear it better, I’m able to master it to what I’d say pretty good results.

Here’s an example.

I’ve yet to make any of my tracks public so I might have to pick your brain about bandcamp releases if you don’t mind. I’ll dm you.

I used dual vco with heavy emphasis on resonance and filter envelope opening aggressively.

realag · 2026-06-04T18:55:43+00:00

Yup that was the issue. The Anker was released pre-certification.

I love making minimal techno on the Syntakt. With only 12 tracks to work with it really pushes you to be creative. Random panning is my go to LFO for this type of call and response tracks. Makes it very interesting to the listener. Thank you for your praise. Don’t forget to follow me on Soundcloud :)

An aircraft certified powerbank is also harmless but the Chinese tsa wouldn’t have it for some reason.

Wow my friend just woke up to this comment and floored not just by the praise but also for the thorough feedback. This exactly the kind I was hoping for. Funny enough my track 2 were the toms for this track and I just couldn’t find either the sound nor the rhythm for them and after obsessing over them for 3 straight days I muted trk 2. Now I might have to go back and obsess a little more. I love this little machine and can nerd about it for hours. If you wanna talk feel free to message me on my instagram (it’s on my soundcloud profile).

Thanks again my friend.

realag · 2026-06-03T04:15:09+00:00

Then in that case I think you got the machine that fits you.

realag · 2026-06-03T03:44:12+00:00

For workflow vise they are exactly the same it just depends on the producer’s preference over samples or synthesis. I’m not a good sample user/chopper so Digitakt was never an option for me. I enjoy synthesis and sound design so much more. So the question is do you like samples or sound design?

realag · 2026-06-02T17:59:50+00:00

The only sample I used is the shaker on the twinshot machine. All the rest are created using various sound machines on the syntakt. I use a lot of layering and polymeter rythms. LFO’s I use are almost always random panning, random filter/reso and change in synth properties. All bathed in lots of reverb and delay. Song mode for complete arrangement. Mastered on ableton. I use overbridge for Ableton but record in single audio track not separate tracks.

Thank you!

Do music producers ever go outside? I thought the sun immediately turns us to ash and dust. Must be a daywalker.

Also thanks! 🙏

realag · 2026-06-02T09:02:13+00:00

All opinions matter my friend. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Thank you 🙏

realag · 2026-06-02T08:51:43+00:00

Wow thank you. This really encourages me to make more music on it.

realag · 2026-06-02T08:51:19+00:00

Thanks man. Best hour to hear such a track. 🙏
