Common Elektron Syntakt Questions
How do I sync the Syntakt to my DAW using MIDI?
First, configure the Syntakt's MIDI settings (GLOBAL > MIDI CONFIG) to send and receive clock and transport. Then, set your DAW to send MIDI clock and start/stop messages to the Syntakt's MIDI input port.
How do I save a sound I've created on the Syntakt?
Press the [FUNC] + [SOUND BROWSER] keys to access the Sound Manager. Then, select an empty slot and press [YES] to save your sound as a Sound Preset, tagging if needed.
How do I switch between patterns quickly on the Syntakt during a live performance?
Hold the [PATTERN] key and then press the number key corresponding to the pattern you wish to select; Pattern chaining, available from the Globals menu, makes this process seamless.
My Syntakt audio is cutting out intermittently. What could be the problem?
Ensure your audio cables are securely connected and undamaged, and that the Syntakt's output level isn't set too high, causing clipping. Also, check the Overbridge software connection if in use, as this may also cause interruptions.
What is the difference between a Machine and a Track on the Syntakt, and how do I choose a Machine?
Each of the twelve tracks on the Syntakt can be assigned a specific Machine (like a digital synth engine or an analog drum voice). To assign a Machine, hold the [TRACK] key for the desired track, then select the machine category and machine you want to use using the data entry encoders.
