Stimming - 15 Minutes with Elektron Syntakt

Stimming is back. After many gear reviews, here he returns to inaugurate a brand new series….
15 minutes with...is 100% Stimming, spontaneous live jamming, impressive face expressions and accompanying dance moves, still with his kind of raw honesty and playful programming. The focus here however is what he can do with each of these machines as well as some commentary on his like and dislikes. So don’t expect a deep tutorial with every little detail.
This time Stimming chose the Syntakt by Swedish company Elektron. It’s no secret that Stimming is kind of an Elektron fanboy therefore he’s always very critical.
The Syntakt is a 12 track drum computer & synthesizer, fusing analog & digital synthesis into one all-round music mega box. So let’s see how Martin put the machine through its paces...

Good stuff! Very useful and fun. As this is a new series, I allow myself as a video creator/editor to make some small technical comments: your face is not in focus, I can recommend setting focus manually before the shoot. Second thing, it would be great to add a few comments in text, things that you would have liked to say about the specific button you push or the place the groove goes. But anyway, great video! Almost makes me want to get the syntakt as a first "serious" synth, but for now I still have the Octatrack in mind ;)

@GeorgeL909 Жыл бұрын

The Syntakt really clicked for me when I stopped trying to make it sound like other instruments. It can do very strange things like turn a hihat into an ambient pad, or a bass sound into a snare, and you can morph in between the sounds, even lfo them in weird ways. Lends well to the angry esoteric music I make, so for me it's been a dream.

@christdolphin69 Жыл бұрын

All elektrons are this way, they work best on their own as their own instrument. You have to really put yourself into a deliberate meticulous sound design mindset and things get rewarding very quickly

Stimmings Reviews sind immer sehr nice weil unkonventionell, bodenständig, lustig und abgedreht. Mir gefällt der ungekürzte Stimming besser. Hier hastet er etwas wirr durch die verschiedenen Pattern und irgendwie fehlt einfach die Zeit sich richtig zu entfalten. Trotzdem Dankeschön dafür. Bin auf die nächsten Videos gespannt. Evtl. kann man auch mal andere Artists einladen für dieses 15 Minuten Format?

Loving this but first Elektron and lost on how to make it song length. It’s seems like preset patches so much longer than what I am making. Great videos man.

@Tony2dH Жыл бұрын

I have a Digitakt rather than this but I think one big difference between the presets and your patterns is that you need to make more use of the probability in the sequencer. For example, have a sound/step/trigger only come in every 4 times the loop goes around (4:1) rather than every bar. Or have some steps only come in at 30% probability etc. Also you can have some tracks be of a different step length like 25 steps, so it loops in a different time to the other tracks. Finally, use parameter automation to switch models on some steps and these steps/triggers can have probability as well.

@DG-ss1gc 9 ай бұрын

I think all of elektrons devices are just that, a curiosity. That’s why it’s so impressive to see someone go ham on the octa-track, and some of stimming here was impressive but if you step back and look at the actions per min (like if it’s an real time strategy game) it’s way too high . So when simply being proficient in operating the device is itself a performance , that’s showbiz .
