Important

I made this course some years ago. The Digitakt Software evolved over time and Elektron added many new features that are not covered by this class. However, it is not primary about learning the Digitakt, it is more about getting to know techniques and concepts to make interesting and evolving house tracks - even you don’t use the Digitakt, these methods are compatible with other grooveboxes as well.
