Digitone and S-1 Ambient performance

I'm feeling a little under the weather today, so here's a nice ambient jam to sit back and relax with. Sassy subtitles are here for you today. I'll likely do a generative sequencer follow-up video going over the random arpeggiator approach I'm using here. Thank you! . . . . .

Does the scale do anything to the LFO values that carrier C jumps between? or is it just a visual cue for the user?
Love how this just evolves melodically into a track.🎉
Cool! ❤
Would (edit) love to see a stepic chapter 2
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Unless your autocorrect made a mistake, in which case, thanks!
@@nixienoise whooooooopsie
You know, I'm having a weird day today, and this thread has been a nice boost. Thank you! I hope you're having, or had, an excellent Friday.
Thanks for this. I think you cannot record midi into the Digitone when it's in overbridge mode. Is that correct?
hi there, and thank you for them videos!!! In this case, midi out frome live 12 into digiton via usb? Your channel's making my day , today
Thanks! Yep, directly sending MIDI via USB.
B R I L L I A N T ! ! !
This is great, concise, and totally got me up and running on the DN 🎉
That totally made me jump! Very Nice!!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been so curious how to do this but got stuck trying to figure out the midi routing. Much gratitude!
Beautiful patch. Wish the DTone had the Euclidean pattern generator like DKT II
Ha, I did a similar thing with the JFK moon speech!
I would love to see the whole video of this setup, of this beat!! 🙏
Thanks! I’m planning on it.
Shout out if you want to see this project develop, from arrangement to final production! Or let me know what you'd like to see from other track from scratch projects.
This video made me jump back onto my DT, thanks for the inspiration. Definitely going to check out the rest of your videos
This was awesome man!
Thanks for this great description! Liked & subscribed :)
The master of fm. More of this please.
Love your work man. Keep it up! You’ve inspired me to find the time to just have play with my digi boxes 😊
DOPE! 😁👊
Nice work!
Also here to say I'd like future Digitakt tutorials. Love it! I'm going to try this, then see what kind of chaos I can get by changing the number of slices, changing playback to forward/reverse, adding trig probability etc
Hell yeah, it's all about the experimentation!
Looking forward for the feedback
this was great. any plans to do more Digitone videos?
thank you <3
Great tutorial, i wanted to ask you one question for the digitone , an Instagram page where I can send you a message ?
Great video and tips, thank you for your time! Also - why does EVERYONE have Valhalla Shimmer? 😂 I wanted to get it at one point but now I’m beginning to think it’s used by just about any synth geek out there that I’d be better off carving out a new flavor of reverb somewhere else 😅
Thanks! Is it showing up more? I think I was inspired a little by State Azure, dropping it in for some nice subtle reverb that doesn't need too much setup. I usually favor Valhalla Room and Supermassive for the big reverb! I also like the Baby Audio "Spaced Out" and "Crystalline", possibly underrated and worth a look at.
Ambient modular drone, but really unique
I'd recommend doing a video on generative midi loopback. With the TaktTone combination you can go Takt_Out -> Tone_In -> Tone_Thru -> Tone_Out -> Takt_In and close a loop across both boxes. Essentially 12 midi sequencers and LFOs to address global parameters like delay feedback and reverb filter cutoff, which normally can't be selected in track LFOs UA-cam probably flags my CC ID cheat sheet link as spam so: pastebin 9hYJSNC0
Nice, thanks! I would love to watch more digitakt tutorials from you.
Great demo!
Thanks!
Beast of a video my man! Please keep doing these digitone and digitakt process videos! By the way I’m working on a video that does a shout out to you and one of your methods for the tone. :)
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
nice as usual thanks dude!
The ambient question has been answered here.
Wow 👏👏👏 Please share some follow up on the sequence
Would another way to combine the two waveforms (on T1 and T2) be to assign those tracks to the same MIDI channel? Then when you played notes or adjusted the cutoff for that channel on your MIDI controller, you'd be doing so in both tracks at once.
Yep, that would achieve the same result, but could limit you if you wanted to use other patterns during a performance as it's a device setting. With layers, you can play using the appropriate MIDI channel for T1, and freely tweak T2. In the video I was sending MIDI over the auto channel, so it followed the active track.
To summarise the generative technique: 1. Make/load a suitable patch (ADSR, harmonics, detune, reverb, A=1.5, delay, filter) 2. Make a one bar loop in a scale of your choice (step length=1/8, press [REC] + [STOP] for jump mode, FUNC for kbd, play 8 notes) 3. Use LFO1 to vary the carrier octave: BPM 1, random, S&H, depth 3, dest SYN:Ratio C 4. Use LFO2 to fade randomness in & out: BPM 1, depth 90, dest SYN:Mix
Love it. The DN is my desert island instrument at the moment.
Yep, it's one of my favorites and super versatile!
cutesy lil jam :)
Thanks!
Good work! This little Digitone is s great Synth 🎹
Great digitone tutorials for beginners like me! Thanks for sharing! Subbed!😊
707 smokes it
That's cool, there's lots of synths and grooveboxes out there! There's something for everyone in fact. The 707 does look pretty neat, and packs in a lot of classic synths. I don't have one, however, but I do have an S-1. Maybe I'll feature it some time?
U guys think its likely that there will be another digitone update?
We can only hope. Given Elektron released an update for both versions of the Analog Rytm recently, the outlook isn't entirely bleak.
Yes, they update their machines for a loooing time. Might be a few years between updates but they always deliver
Really nice patch sounds lovely ❤
Excellent content 👍you could also use control all to adjust env etc on both voices
Totally! I realized that too, after wrapping up the video of course! 😂
Great! Thank you !
That's very helpfull approach of the digitone! Thx
Excellent and simple tutorial. Keep them coming! Thanks!
