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
Переглядів 69712 годин тому
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...

      @DanChippendaleMusic 6 днів тому

      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.

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

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!

    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.

    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

    • @DanChippendaleMusic
      @DanChippendaleMusic 18 днів тому

      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

      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. 😉
