Explore a never-ending universe of sounds on the Elektron Syntakt, an analog/digital drum synthesizer with serious versatility and an inspiring interface.
Overview
Elektron's Syntakt is a 12-track drum computer and synthesizer -- a sonic metropolis that melts analog and digital synthesis into one instrument of outrageous opportunity. All your sound crafting, sequencing, and performance needs are fulfilled in an all-round music mega-box that fits in your lap.
Syntakt is a drum specialist, full of percussive possibilities, but its 12 tracks can be used for melody, harmony, and bass sounds too. Experience epic sounds from the past, pulling others into existence from the future, using over 35 analog and digital machines. For the uninitiated, machines in the Elektron universe are special sound generators -- synthesizers inside your synthesizer.
See what Syntakt can do in our video:
Affect the sound of each machine with the intuitive and playful graphics. Select and route your tracks, and external inputs, through the FX track. You've got delay, reverb, analog distortion and filters, and a couple of LFOs to play around with. Run wild and free with the four expressive modifiers, unleashing your sounds with different velocities, retrigs, and varied settings of other parameters. Access a variety of different scales via the keyboard mode -- some familiar faces and some maybe a little less familiar -- helping you discover new places and enabling you to take things to another level. And last, but by no means least, the world class 64-step Elektron sequencer lets you bring dynamic soundscapes into existence.
The streets of Syntakt are never-ending,… read more the neon lights are never-dimming, its underground is fathomless. Discover worlds within worlds. Adore now. Explore forever.

"My First Elektron Device"

I read that people had some difficulty learning the Elektron workflow. Coming from an MPC, this was a breeze. Watched a True Cuckoo tutorial and I was jamming like a pro within an hour. This is a great beginner instrument for Elektron. The Digitakt and Octatrack are more advanced, but if you want to dip your toe into the Elektronaut world, this is a great place to start.It’s simple enough to understand, but complex enough to keep you engaged. Like any instrument, it takes time to master but once you do, you’ll be crafting complex polyrhythms, lush pads, stabby synths, and thumping drums into songs/patterns that you never thought possible. 10/10
