I'm in Love With My Digitakt.... 62 of 63 customers found this review helpful
It doesn't have pads man. It has buttons. Real buttons that go clickity- click. No there is no pressure sensitivity Mr. Sensitive Finger Drummer.
It's lovingly designed and made in Sweden. How in this age of plastic junk? I don't know.
It is difficult to learn if you are used to using computers to do everything.
It is a computer, but one that beckons you to step inside.
It is supported by an amazing community of users at Elektronauts--got a roadblock? Someone will almost immediately be there.
It's a beautiful meld of old and new school. Rugged like 90's sampler with software features you might find in Ableton.
The work flow is strictly old school! You have to be careful about how you save and how you might conserve memory. Careful, that two button operation just erased your pattern. Oh, a week later you learn that one more press brings in back.
It's a drum machine at heart but with WAY more avenues for sound design.
It will force you to start making music with it, or ask you to just give up if you're too lazy to explore it's glittering highways. If you are not really into electronic music don't buy this. You will get frustrated trying to make "band" music though I'm sure this machine could prove me wrong too.
It can be tedious, but so is learning how to play ANY instrument. I do believe it is an instrument.
It has big limitations just like any instrument--it's not there to replace your band or your intellect.
Limitations? It does way more than you can probably imagine or invent Einstein.
Like a video game, it can gobble up many hours of your time. Use it responsibly and don't forget to call Mom or say goodnight to your mate.
I bought it because I was tied of using a laptop on stage to generate beats, samples and textures. I too often found myself just pressing play. At the end of the day if you're an actual musician, this is unsatisfying. I wanted all of the above but in a hardware instrument that could be "played". I gravitated to the various Roland machines, especially the new TR-8s but something pulled me to Elektron. They are not trying to make the ultimate machine here. It has many limitations. If you just want to trigger loops and make dope beats, the Digitakt is probably too much to bite off. It's goes VERY deep and I haven't even touched the 8 track midi sequencer yet. Big learning curve if you have any self-induced brain damage--but it's worth it. I love it like I love my Telecaster--right now, a lot more.
Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
