I'm a chap from South East London, UK. Who's obsessed with making electronic music in my free time (in my shed). I've been into music all my life, different genres at different times, but only making music for the last few years. I'm still on a journey, and loving drawing inspiration from all the different music I've enjoyed throughout my life. All the gear I own has been paid for by me. I'm a long time G.A.S sufferer, but have got a bit of a handle on it recently. I'm not here to sell you anything, I'm here to make music. I do sometimes get a bit excited about new gear I buy, but I'm never going to directly sell you anything. I just enjoy making music on the best gear for my needs. If you enjoy my musical miscellany then that's amazing!
Please subscribe if you like my music/videos. It really does encourage me to try harder and increase my techniques and skills. I put a lot of effort/time into making the music and videos, so having you along for the ride really spurs me on!

WATCH me perform some live DnB (I don't make it very often, maybe I should make more)
This whole video from start of track to editing of the video took about an hour 🤯 Just came together so nicely. Not to complex, not as many tracks and sounds as my usual stuff but I think this sounds good. Does it for me anyway. Hope you agree 🤓

I can't stop (and won't stop) making music like this as long as I live

It might be a personal thing, but I just love creating complex, overlapping, harmonies and melodies (especially with LFOs and modulation). I'm definitely getting better too. I'm starting to understand scales a bit better. I am terrible at theory and all my stuff is just made by ear. But maybe this allows me to take risks and break a few rules? I don't know, but I know I love making this kind of...

Holy shit dude I just watched your video from yesterday and was like, damn there’s a lot of jams on here, and made my way all the way here, and there are so Many More And also, even more rare, they’re all extremely good? Nuts, I’ll be staying up to date with these for sure. So sick.

First of all, great track, butthat Syntakt has one interesting midi in... and is it twister into MPC for master midi control only?
@@mildheadwound the Twister is just controlling the MPC. It's pretty simple to set up with it. I've been too lazy (and enjoying this set up) to try and map it to the Elektron boxes 😁

I don't know if my dawless jams are better or not, but I do know it's 1000% more enjoyable. Something magicical about having it at your fingertips🎉
@@GreyDintZ totally! It's the unknown that makes it exciting. I'll practice for a bit and come up with a basic structure and some nice little tricks (that I invariably forgot to do when I'm recording the video) but it's also the little happy accidents you often make during the performance. No jam is ever the same and that's what makes it a unique experience. I can't get enough of it 😁
Excellent jam ! I love that continuous bassline

I'd go step further into the Modular Route. 👽 Something about electricity is intriguing to get a Drum Sound from. 👽 But alas, equipment is not cheap. 👽Nothing like hitting, turning, and experimenting. 👽 Music Wonder World. 👾
I can't allow myself to get into modular. It's taken me years of buying and selling (and terrible GAS) to get to my current rig. I battle with a hatred of messy cables and routing anger too. Ultimately I don't trust myself when it comes to the 'just one more' aspect of modular. I'm sure I'd enjoy it a bit and I'm pretty into the science of sound and electrons but I know it wouldn't be a healthy place for me to be 😁

wow this is mesmerizing! i like your style. how exactly do you use your mpc one in your setup?
Thanks, glad you like it 🙌🏼 I use the MPC as an external synth unit. I just create a few tracks and then enter MIDI notes to the grid either with the buttons on the Digitakt or the keyboard I have under my desk. I just set them to 8 bars and use it for extra sounds. Every time I use the MIDI Fighter Twister thats controlling the tracks on the MPC (roughly the last 3rd of the video). It's a bit overkill having an MPC like this but it's great for having multiple synth sounds that I can modulate easily while performing. I love the Syntakt but I also want a synth that can do polyphony and also has more internal FX. If Akai made a much smaller MPC Mini (Digitakt size) I'd be all over it. I'm not a finger drummer, so could basically take those away and I'd be happy.
Do anyone actually listen to this type of music?? 200 views on 2 years...🤔
Give it two days and your superpowers will kick right in! Good stuff mate - ouchies on the story though!
Ha nice one. I'd like some super powers. Right now it's just making my scalp swell up in different places, feel odd and grumpy. Grumpier should I say 😂
Super nice!!! By the way, have you noticed that the key lights on your Digitakt II are much dimmer compared to your Syntakt? I just want to make sure it’s not just mine acting up. My Syntakt’s lights are much brighter when set to the maximum.
Nice one. I'm not sure I've adjusted the DT2's settings for the brightness actually 😊 think the ST is set to max though
This is excellent I’m watching all your videos and thoroughly enjoying them. Love the video game vibes on this one. I have MPC one, Digitakt and Digitone but haven’t figured out how I want to use them all together yet, would be interesting in how you set it all up and what your processes are.
Cool nice one! Glad you're enjoying them 🙌🏼 I'm a life long gamer so game music has inspired me all my life. You should get your gear working together! think I've had that combo in the past. Its pretty simple to set up (when you know how, I guess most things are simple). I'm hopefully going to do a routing and workflow video soon. I've started the prep for it. Hopefully I'll make some progress over the next couple of weeks 👍🏼
Yeah. I have GAS too. I just ordered a MPC One + smh. Why? Idk. I dont even like MPCs I already have a 707 TR8S Syntaxt and Digitakt 2 with a Tascam 12. Plus Volcas and Pocket operators. Smh. I think i brought a MPC for attention and credibility. Idk. Its RED. IDK. When i jam with Elektron. People ask IS THAT A MPC?? In my head, i scream. NOOOO!! Smh. Maybe I just want to Master them ALL?? 👀 IDK. This is 🔥 🔥 🔥 btw. Pardon my GAS rant
@@BDKabrini GAS away. I'm here to share the burden 😁 I took, GASsed on the MPC. I sold a load of gear and was left with just the Takts. The Syntakt is an amazing synth but I need something else for polyphonic sounds and more rompler type duties. The MPC One+ fits the bill. I don't currently use anything on it apart from sequencing midi notes on the grid for a few extra tracks. It works well for me. Is it overkill? Probably. But it's fun. Enjoy yours when it shows up
Not as bad as that but....I get it!!!

I'd say the Syntakt is pretty basic when it comes to sound design. The EX5R I just got has so many more insane layers for sound design.
I had to trick myself to like the syntakt… only when routed through some filter or effect unit
@@bryanbytes I know what you mean, it takes a lot of effort to get to know it. I'm happy with the internal FX but would love the chorus from Digitone and Digitakt2 and maybe another effect or two.
Come on man give us some sounddesign tricks

Really nice jam! However, the Syntakt being the best part of a grand is way above my pay scale ☹
@@liamg6328 thanks! Yes it's not a cheap box but it is definitely great value for money. Also can be got 2nd hand (my one is) and it was a lot less than retail
@@DanChippendaleMusic Might have a look at some deals 😉
it really is a dream machine. nice work man whats the mpc one doing here? do you usually use that for arranging/layering sections/clips?
Nice one! The MPC is that brassy pad sound at the beginning (and anything that is affected when I use the MIDI Fighter Twister). I'm just using the MPC as an external synth(s) in this current set up. I just have the MPC receiving clock from the Digitakt 2. I'm currently just making a few 8 bar tracks on the MPC and recording MIDI notes to the grid either with the drum pads or the Keystep keyboard I have under my desk. The great thing about the MPC is that with MIDI learn I can just set up some parameters to control and assign them to the MIDI Fighter with a few button presses. I find it a lot more intuitive than the Q-Links on the MPC itself
Well... usually a vocoder is the answer to "what is that horrible noise?"... at least in my experience... However... for Zawinul best start with Weather Report's Black Market or the double live '8:30', though you might prefer his more 'personal' Syndicate or his solo work. He used this ancient Korg DVP1, sounded amazing, he kept it under his keys next to a bottle of vodka... once he had an even older VC-10 too, on top of his kit, saw him twice, awesome concerts!
Thank you for introducing me to Weather Report! Listening to Black Market now. So much 70's Steely Dan vibes going on. I'm a big fan of Steely Dan and this fits very well with me. Nice one!
I was thought of digitone as my next purchase, but you keep bringing that syntakt into the equation. Great jam
@@optikronix I've owned the Digitone twice now. It's another brilliant box but FM is a bit too wild for me and it can go to some very cool places but it can also go to some very challenging places quickly and I didn't always like what I heard. The Syntakt has some of the magic of the Digitone but with guard rails so I always get far more pleasing results. Horses for courses I guess, but the Syntakt just has more of what I'm looking for. Glad you liked my jam 👍😎👍 thanks for listening
Dope track. Really good. And agree about the Syntakt, it’s a desert island box for me. A lot of YT vids of the Syntakt seem to go into the raw/industrial/hard techno space which the Syntakt does brilliantly, but it can also do dark, soft and mellow as well. Great bit of kit.
@@touchthatdial cheers pal. Glad you liked it. Yeah Syntakt would be my desert island box too. Easily. Although it does get pretty hot so would need to use it in the shade of a palm tree 🤣 Yep, there's a lot of techno stuff out there. I'm not a huge fan generally of hard techno. I'm a sucker for more melodic music. This kind of thing I made here feels like a natural fit
Nice! What timing... just got home... Sounds like a lost track from Zawinul's Lost Tribes album! Just neeeed a vocoder... everybody neeeeds a vocoder, though best kept in a box under the synths at all times... 😅 Anyways, you've got some amazing sound sculpting going on there!
@@gattart cool. Glad you had time to listen. Not familiar with Zawinul. I'll have to investigate. When I was making this I was thinking to myself "I need some who can do me some vocals". Maybe a Vocoder is the answer 😁
Syntakt to me is what a modern music device should be, ease of use and size wise. You’d need entire racks of stuff not so long ago to make what you can now with just the Syntakt!
Exactly. 12 tracks all with LFOs and modulation potential. Of all the synths I've owned I feel most comfortable with this. Parameters are constrained enough to offer some guard rails but deep enough that you can find sweet spots where you didn't before. It's a gem. I just wish Elektron would bless us with an update. A new machine, or effect or some polyphony. Something. I'm hopeful. I hope they're listening 🙏🏼
1 x Syntakt 1 x Digitakt 2 and a MPC One plus, thats an expensive tables worth of gear! - I like what you're doing here, it sounds really good.
Undeniable that's it's not an expensive set up. But pretty modest compared to some of my previous configurations ☺I got the Syntakt 2nd hand and the MPC was a good price new bought on 3 month's installments so it felt cheaper 😉Glad you like what you hear.
Actually, some good value there.
@@EshockT 💸😇
do you like to use the drum machines for synths as well? i find all the machines, even hi hats, can be pitched into tonality with varying degrees of "personality" left over. with the sound pool holding thousands of sounds and 12 tracks of per-step sound flipping it's endless fun
Yep! Even track 12 can be made to make synth patches. That's what I love about it. You can turn an analog hi hat into a lovey soft synth pretty easily. So good
Loving this one Dan!
Ha cool! 🕺
I would counter .... the Iridium ...
Please do not come here and trigger my GAS 😂 I was lusting over the iridium recently but went for the MPC instead. The iridium looks soo deep and watching a few videos I was a bit overwhelmed. I guess once you're used to it and all that. Also the price is quite high.
That's a pretty bold claim. This sounds cool tho. I owned a Nord Mod G2 about 5 yrs, many years ago.
haha finally someone challenging my bold claim! Thanks. I was hoping someone would start the debate. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I'm not a keyboard player, I mean I have a go but it takes me a lot of goes to get right, so for me the Syntakt is the best because it makes amazing sounds but also has one of the best sequencers in it too. I have always looked at Nords with a lustful eye, but that kind of thing is totally wasted on me due to my aforementioned lack of playing skills 😆
@@DanChippendaleMusic 👍 Check into what the Nord Mod G2 is all about tho. You can build your own synths, drum machines, effects, sequencers, using all the base componentry. You can also use logic, which can give your creations the ability to make descisions on their own, essentially playing, and evolving by themselves. But, you can also assign any functions to the onboard controls, so they are played by you. The black and whites are a good thing to have as a non-keyboard player, because of their traditional use, but also because they can be used to do lots of other things, each one also being a "button". Inside G2, you can also use mutator to evolve the patches settings, which is based on genetics. Really a fun way to explore patches, and performances sound potential, and see how your patches can evolve, without even needing to tweak controls, or evolving with a few simple tweaks. G2 is a very powerful virtual modular system, as large as a huge room full of modules. It truly can be made to do a million different jobs. Sound design on a G2, is extremely powerful. Far more powerful than Syntakt, several times over. 😉
