The ultimate creation station, Syntakt sets the bar high with its advanced sequencing, complex sound-shaping capabilities and an intuitive interface linking them all together. Building on the success of previous hardware, Elektron set out the create a sonic powerhouse with the development of the Syntakt. This 12-track drum computer and synthesizer utilises hybrid synthesis, incorporating elements from the digital and analog realms, so you get the best of both worlds. Featuring a world-class, 64-step sequencer, the Syntakt acts as a fully-featured musical instrument. Not only is it ideal for sequencing drum patterns, but the Syntakt is also so much more than your average hardware sequencer.
Providing you with a comprehensive toolset, the Elektron Syntakt opens a new world of sonic exploration, providing the ability to craft sound, sequencer and perform – all in on place. Comprised of four analog and eight digital tracks, the Syntakt can be used to create captivating melodies, massive bass sounds and aggressive drum sequences. Its huge sonic palette makes it a must-have for any serious music producer/live performer.
At the heart of the Syntakt are 35 sound-generating machines that span everything from drums to melody. Featuring a whole host of unique machines, the Syntakt also borrows some from Analog Rytm and Model:Cycles. These inherited machines have been revamped for the Syntakt, providing deeper control over your sound. The crisp OLED display shows you the tailor-made parameter controls designed for each machine. With animated icons and instant visual feedback, the Syntakt provides all the power you need to create everything from distorted basslines to immersive soundscapes.
Add some texture and colour to your sound using the onboard, studio-grade effects on offer. You can route each of your synth tracks/external audio sources through the FX black. This allows you to apply analog distortion, filter your sound or even incorporate a couple of LFOS for modulation. Reverb/delay send effects are also included for adding depth. You can also sequence the effects via the FX track, providing the means to create build-ups, transitions or create unique results on the master channel; the possibilities are endless.
With a range of composition tools on offer, the Syntakt makes it easy to translate your ideas into sound. The unique ‘keyboard mode’ allows you to use the onboard buttons to play and control a wide range of scales. The vast variety of scales on offer allows you to explore something less familiar; great for capturing inspiration when it strikes. The different modes on offer help to boost your creativity and make creating melodies, rhythms and sequences easier than ever. You can play across a single octave similar to a standard keyboard or use fold and be presented with several octaves at once.
For those more seasoned sound designers, the Syntakt offers multiple ways to shape and sculpt your sound. Each track is equipped with a Multimode filter for basic sound shaping. The digital tracks each feature a parametric EQ as well as a based-width filter for advanced sonic control. Two varying amplitude envelopes are available to choose from for contouring your sound. There is also the standard ASDR/AHD envelopes for controlling various sounds. Every synth track comes equipped with dual LFOs, complete with multiple waveforms and modulation destinations to choose from. If that wasn’t enough, the Syntakt features 1000 presets, created by leading sound designers and musicians.
From the studio to the stage, the Elektron Syntakt provides all you need to create and perform with the utmost confidence. The robust and compact design can fit within your lap, making it highly portable and perfect for musicians on the move. The intuitive interface features clearly labelled buttons and controls, which allow you to make informed changes to your sound at a glance. The rear of the Elektron Syntakt features a range of analog and digital connections including MIDI I/O (and Thru) as well as stereo I/O TRS connections. A USB connection is also included so you can use the Syntakt with your favourite music software.
