# 3.3 SETTING UP AND STARTING THE SYNTAKT

3. PANEL LAYOUT AND CONNECTORS
3.2 REAR CONNECTORS
1.	 POWER, Switch for turning the unit on and off.
2.	 DC In, Input for power supply. Use the included PSU-3c power adapter connected to a power outlet.
3.	 USB, For connecting the unit to a computer. For MIDI control or Overbridge use. Use the included A to B
USB 2.0 cable to connect to a computer host.
4.	 MIDI THRU/SYNC B, Forwards data from MIDI IN. It can also be configured to send DIN sync to legacy
instruments. Use a standard MIDI cable to connect another MIDI device in the chain.
5.	 MIDI OUT/SYNC A, MIDI data output. It can also be configured to send DIN sync to legacy instruments.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect to MIDI In of an external MIDI device.
6.	 MIDI IN, MIDI data input. Use a standard MIDI cable to connect to MIDI Out of an external MIDI device.
7.	 INPUT L/R, Audio inputs used for external sources for audio processing. Use a 1/4” mono phone plug
(unbalanced connection).
8.	 OUTPUT L/R, Main audio outputs. Use either 1/4” mono phone plug (unbalanced connection) or
1/4” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) phone plug (balanced connection).
9.	 HEADPHONES, Audio output for stereo headphones. Use 1/4” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) phone plug.
3.3 SETTING UP AND STARTING THE SYNTAKT
Make sure you place the Syntakt on a stable support, such as a sturdy table, with sufficient space for the
cables. Make sure to switch off all devices before you connect the Syntakt to other devices.
1.	 Plug the supplied power adapter to a power outlet and connect the small plug to the 12 VDC In input on
the Syntakt.
2.	 Connect OUTPUT L/R from the Syntakt to your mixer or amplifier.
3.	 If you want to control the Syntakt from a computer, connect a USB cable between the computer and the
USB connector of the Syntakt.
4.	 If you want to use MIDI to control the Syntakt, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you wish to
send data from to the MIDI IN port of the Syntakt. The MIDI THRU port duplicates the data arriving at
the MIDI IN port, so it can be used for chaining MIDI units together. If you want to use Syntakt to control
other devices using MIDI, connect the MIDI OUT port of the Syntakt to the MIDI IN port of the of device
you want to control.
5.	 If you want to mix in audio to the Syntakt from external sources, connect the audio source to INPUT L/R.
6.	 Switch on all units. Switch on the Syntakt by toggling the Power switch located at the back of the unit.

4. QUICK START
4. QUICK START
If you are the kind of person who just wants to dig into your Elektron device and start making noise, this
section is for you. This quick start will guide you through some of the basic operations to begin using the
Syntakt. If you want more in-depth information, check out the rest of this manual later. First, connect it as
described in section “3.3 SETTING UP AND STARTING THE SYNTAKT” on page 14.
4.1 PLAYING THE FACTORY PRESETS
You can find a number of preset patterns and sounds in the Syntakt. Follow the instructions below to get
started exploring your new instrument.
1.	 Press [BANK] and then press [TRIG 9] key to select bank A. The screen reads “BANK A : SELECT PTN”.
2.	 Press [TRIG 1] key to select the first pattern of bank A.
3.	 Press [PLAY] to listen to pattern A01.
4.	 Press [PTN] and then press [TRIG 2] key to select pattern A02. It will start once pattern A01 has
reached its end. Select pattern A03 by pressing [PTN] and then press [TRIG 3] key, and so on.
5.	 Press [STOP] to stop playback.
For more information, please see “9.2.2 PATTERN CONTROL” on page 37.
4.2 TEMPO
To change the Tempo BPM setting, open the TEMPO menu by pressing the [TEMPO] key. Use the LEVEL/
DATA knob to change tempo. The [ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN] change the tempo in increments of 0.1
BPM. Pressing the LEVEL/DATA knob while turning it changes the tempo four BPM at a time.
To tap a tempo setting, hold the [FUNCTION] key and tap the [TEMPO] key in a steady rhythm. After four
consecutive taps the average tempo of the taps will be calculated. By continuing tapping, the average tem­
po will keep on updating.
For more information, please see “9.1 SEQUENCER TEMPO” on page 36.
4.3 USING KEYBOARD MODE
You can use the [TRIG] keys to play the sound of the active track (or send MIDI notes if you have selected
the MIDI machine for the active track) in a number of selectable scales.
1.	 Press [TRK] + [TRIG 1–12] to select the track.
2.	 Press [FUNC] + [TRK] (short press) to enter KEYBOARD mode. A long press opens the KEYBOARD
mode setup page. The [TRIG] keys will light up in a pattern that resembles an octave of a piano key­
board. Only lit keys are playable.
3.	 Play the [TRIG] keys. The sound will be pitched differently for each of the playable keys. Press the
[ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN] to transpose the virtual keyboard up or down one octave.
For more information, please see “7.9 KEYBOARD MODE” on page 24.
KEYBOARD mode is an effective way to add musical variety to your beats. The timbre,
tonality and impact of playing a sound chromatically depend on the character of the
source sound.
4.4 USING MUTE MODE
You can mute any of the sequencer tracks in this mode. Unlike the KEYBOARD mode, it makes no
difference which track is active when this mode is activated. You can access all tracks simultaneously.
1.	 Make sure a pattern is playing.
2.	 Press the [FUNC] + [BANK] keys to enter MUTE mode.
3.	 Press any of the [TRIG] keys or the [FX] key to mute the corresponding track. Press again to unmute.
The light of the [TRIG] keys indicates the mute status. Unlit keys are muted tracks. Lit keys are active
tracks.
4.	 Press the [FUNC] + [BANK] keys again to exit MUTE mode.
For more information, please see “7.10 MUTE MODE” on page 25.
