Step 2 - Scope Out The Idea and Objective
The musical objective could be a pre-prepared plan or a just an ad-lib. This
step doesn't have to be formally documented and may just exist in your
mind. However this is an example of the production considerations needed.
* Destination also refers to the Digitakt and Digitone factory presets
6 Steps To Creating A Drum Beat.
Objective. The objective is to create a simple kick, snare, hat drum loop.
Nothing that will win any awards, but will be a simple yet familiar sequence
to help get to know it’s application in T-1. The sounds will be handled by a
desktop drum synth, in this case Elektron’s Digitakt but could equally be
another device or DAW. The synth is connected by MIDI.
Step 1. Connect the Gear.

Using the 5 Pin to

MIDI Cong
The destination device must be congured to receive MIDI. Clock can be external from T-1 but
Transport should be off, so that only T-1 controls the sequence. Device tracks and associated MIDI
Channels should match with the sound required.

Track 3, Channel 3 = HiHat
