90's Jungle Session on the Digitakt mk2
Added 2025-07-18 12:10:20 +0000 UTCThis was a pretty relax video where I just turned the camera on and jammed out with a few samples. I think pretty much all of these were taken from packs I've given to the Professional Dj & Record Label Owner tier. 💎
It's such a great practise when you need a little inspiration. Dig around for 10-15 samples that fit within a similar style or theme. I often go for mystical & atmospheric sounds without too much dissonance but this is where you're own taste and style comes into play a lot.
The Digitakt is such a creative device with all the LFO and FX etc. but I still rely on the core principals of sampling the most:
Sample Selection
Tuning (Pitching up/down 5/7/12 semitones once you match the key)
Sample Start/End Position
Looping
Reversing
Understanding these is far more important the any FX or modulation tricks. 👊
The Think Break I used was just one of the from the 'Break Processing' folder of the mega think instrument. Even these are epic to use when you just want a more simple, roller drums in a track.
Have a great weekend everyone 😊
Cheers,
George ✌️
