Anyway, I made a little mellow, abstract test track today as a test for recording my guitar and bass into it. I think I have the basic workflow for sampling guitar/bass down now, so I want to start incorporating instruments into my tracks more. I'm still struggling with getting a proper mix though. I'm getting some monitors soon, so that should help, mixing on headphones sucks.

Edit: Apparently quick save (Function + Save) is causing the freezes. For now, save your work by going into the actual menu and hitting save. That's apparently the workaround that Simon from Elektron says to use until 1.04.
Yeah, the voices were wrestling with me to not upgrade to 1.03, so I stood on 1.02. Reading the manual, looks like we'll get a stable Digitakt by 1.10 when its all ironed out.
Its stable on my end, even during 1.00. Only thing I encountered was when I put a sample into the Chromatic keys, trig 9 would sound off infinitely like "bweeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrree".
As I learn the machine, I see its all about the sequencer and how you can manipulate each step. I'm still kinda clumsy on it, but now I got the idea.

In that video ill be I noticed it's like the size of his hand... that video is dope too. I can't wait to see what everyone starts doing with this thing. So busy latly but vacation starts next week for me . I'm determined to use the live and digi together, they should be the perfect combo. However getting there hasn't been easy. Got a track on both I been working on. Haven't seen any bugs in the new update but haven't tried the midi yet.

I dig both your sounds, the guitar and bass sound way better than I thought they would. Almost a tortoise type of vibe. Ill's got that old school sound down with the breaks and samples. Really excited to see what y'all do.
-Ill I never got to use a sp1200 much but how does the digi compare to one? I heard you say something about it, and only seen one in action back in the day. In fact dude who had it taught me to chop up breaks and play them out instead of looping them. He had a similar sound to you but got crazy with the filters. I bought a dr. Sample from him and was hooked on samplers ever since.

Had a bit of time today and wanted to try out this cheap little Roland mixer thing I bought for recording audio into the camera app on my phone.
Anyway, here is an example of rearranging samples using start times. These are some guitar and bass parts I played into the Digitakt yesterday, so while it's not a hip hop example, you can pretty much flip any kind of sample anyway you want with the start times, just got to use your imagination. Hope this helps.
Also, it's my first YouTube video I've ever recorded. Wish I had a tripod, it's a PITA trying to hold a camera and work a sampler. I could have shown some cooler stuff if I had another hand. Haha.
PS: I don't think the audio came out bad for a $100 recording device!
