[Drum]sounds for the next decades!

The twelve simultaneously available tracks are divided into eight digital and four analog tracks, which are loaded with a "Machine" and from then on specialized in certain sounds or categories.
The eight digital tracks offer 11 Machines, which are divided into 1x Bass Drum, 2x Snare Drum, 1x Cymbal/Hihat, 1x Percussion, 1x Clap and 5x Tonal Synth. Each track also features a distortion, a multimode filter, a bandwidth filter and two assignable LFOs. Distortion and both filters of the digital machines are also digitally implemented.
The four analog tracks are initially divided into three Drum tracks and one Cymbal track. For the Drum tracks this means a selection of 16 machines, which are divided into 6x Bass Drum, 4x Snare Drum, 2x Rimshot, 2x Dual VCO Synth, 1x Impulse and 1x Noise Generator. The Cymbal track has 15 machines specialized in metal sounds: 5x hihat, 3x cymbal, 2x cowbell, 1x impulse and 1x Noise generator. Each of the four analog tracks also features an analog distortion and an analog multimode filter as well as two assignable LFOs.

Tonal Synth and Dual VCO Synth Machines? Yes, the Syntakt offers 7 machines designed for typical synthesizer sounds; one of them is even analog! The final touch is given to all tracks with the excellent sounding digital effects Delay and Reverb. These are widely editable and range from subtle to club-ready to cinematic. At this point at the latest it becomes clear that the Syntakt is so much more than a drum machine: in keyboard mode these tonally playable sound generation models reveal their full potential and move the device into the action radius of groove boxes.

Live sequencer!

The sequencer of the Syntakt is absolutely suitable for live, quickly programmable and above all easy to learn. Real time and hard timing are the magic words for Elektron's recipe for success. A total of 128 patterns can be stored. Each pattern can have a maximum length of up to 64 steps (4 bars), furthermore each track can be provided with its own step length and scaling. naturally the Syntakt also masters parameter locks, so that individual parameters can be locked to one or more steps without permanently affecting the sound. Other features like the keyboard mode with 36 scales, shuffle, micro timing or programmable trigger probability effectively round off the intervention possibilities. Additive to the 12 internal tracks there are four MIDI tracks for external MIDI equipment like eg. a desktop synth. The tracks are four-voice polyphonic playable respectively programmable, allow addressing eight CC parameters and an LFO can be freely assigned. Should you ever need more MIDI tracks, you can also convert the internal tracks into MIDI tracks.
