It contains all the necessary tools to make people move to the music. A digital and highly flexible sound engine, an analog fx block with multi-mode filter and drive, a live-friendly sequencer, the means to control external MIDI gear, and Overbridge support. To get the most out of your machine, we recommend that you read this manual in its entirety. 1.1 CONVENTIONS IN THIS MANUAL We have used the following conventions throughout the manual: Key names are written in upper case, bold style and within brackets. For instance, the key labeled “FUNC” on the main panel is written as [FUNC]. Knobs are written in upper case, bold, italic letters. For instance, the knob “Level/Data” is called LEVEL/ DATA. Menu names are written in upper case letters. The SETTINGS menu is an example of that. Parameter names and certain menu options where settings can be made or actions performed are written in bold, upper case letters. For example, VOL. Upper case letters are used for parameter setting alternatives. For example, OFF. Messages visible on the screen are written in upper case letters with quotation marks. For example, “QUANTIZE LIVE REC”. LED indicators like the Keyboard LED are written like this: <KEYBOARD>. The following symbols are used throughout the manual: Important information that you should pay attention to. A tip that will make it easier for you to interact with the Syntakt. The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one... 2. THE SYNTAKT 2. THE SYNTAKT Rain is like the sound of trains outside your window. Looking out, you see reflections of the passing above- ground subway and crimson tail lights. Refractions in the lingering water droplet trigger memories. Off-world colonies and the rhythm of life, on our world and others, imagined or actual, exist at the edge of our grasp in a blur of light-speed relativistic reality. Bliss. The focus becomes your reality. Colors and beats create a musical tapestry in the life of the maximal metropolis you experienced. You go back to your automated coffee-bot, who greets you with a pixelated smile. The synthesis of emotion feels sincere, and you take the sentiment to heart. The vapors waft pleas ingly to the ceiling when pouring and absorb into the climate control of your cozy complex. Now is the time. You sit at your sonic workspace and turn on the Elektron Syntakt. It breathes into life, and the glint of red light spirits you into action. Analog synthesis meets digital synthesis. A musical cyborg companion. Your pathfinder on a new musical journey, one both familiar and new. You begin turning knobs, finding pleasing and even unsettling sounds. The beat starts. Pieces fall into place like a dozen meteorites on a perfect trajectory into an unnamed expanse. Time crumbles, limitations blur, and it is just you and the machine. A message comes across your field of view in another space, not entirely grounded in our reality: We thank you for joining us on this adventure. There is much to explore. This is our collective step in the ethereal Ouroboros of a new musical epic. - The Elektron Team Syntakt User Manual. This manual is copyright © 2026 Elektron Music Machines MAV AB.
