I have literally been waiting for you to post this video. Not one video has convinced me to buy this, and without fail I now know that I want one now. You create sounds from that box that are worthy to be in feature films! Not even Elektron employees are creating intricate compositions like this! You are on🔥
Thanks so much ... very appreciated 🙏
Too true - a great piece of art is the best advert. Fender never sold Strats, The Shadows and Hendrix did. This is not my genre at all but I eagerly watch every video as it's simply great music and a technical mastercalss. If anyone has any tips for other great electronic artists doing a similar thing on youtube I'd like to hear about them in this comment section. Good day to you all.🎼🎵🎶
I keep returning to your songs again and again .. absolutely amazing master piece this one, and all others works of you too .. massive respect !
this box deserves such a beautiful video...
My first thought on hearing the Digitone 2 was "this will be awesome for psybient". This video has sold it to me 100%.
This is just unreal. Can't believe how good the drums sound. Haven't turned my headphones up this high in a minute.
Substan you just keep getting better and better, the best I ever heard ❤❤❤❤😊
Great, great Man ! 🔝🔝 ...Digitone II is here with all its magic in the nature green background as we like it💪
Oh my word. This is one of the most beautiful compositions I have heard in a long time. I was completely entranced the entire track. Phenomenal job. I can’t wait to explore the rest of your music. I am totally inspired by you. Timing is great as well because my digitone II arrives tomorrow!
This is perfect 🎉🎉🎉
This is SUBSTANTIAL
I’ve been waiting for the this, it didn’t disappoint, love this!
Thanks Andy !!
So good... Inspirational. Thanks for the music. I preordered a DTn II from Control Voltage last night 😊
Brilliant composition, awesome arrangement !
Bravo Maestro!
This combine excellent piece of gear and brilliant talent ❤
I’m strongly waiting for this since this product launch.
Sincerelly tank you for this!
Makes me feel good abt my Digitone Keys as I never wanted it as a main piece of gear, BUT the FATAR keybed in the format cannot be beat.
Knowing that I can do similar sounds with reduced voices doesn't bother me, the 4 stereo pair out make it a great way to get a nice percussive element going to, and for post work it's perfect for me.
I am eternally in gratitude for you, you helped me understand what the Digitone can do, and what you've shown here is another whole level altogether.
Kudos, you're a champion.
Your sound is so inspiring with all elektron devices, very well done!
It's the best tune made on Digitone i ever heard, even from you!
This is SO inspiring...
You are a legend that deserves millions of subscribers...
Universal connection!
Miss my DN ✨ this was beautiful
best i've heard on this machine my goodness. can't wait for mine.
Hot damn, that is an outstanding track. Love the range and depth of the sounds here.
Whoa, i opened yt just in time! Smashing that Like button instantly
A modern day Robert miles. Been looking for a groove box and never thought of the digitone. This new version looks like a different animal
yesssss finally you're using it !!! could not wait any longer to hear the best Digitone artist on this new machine !
Thanks a lot !! Had the Digitone here already 2 days after release ... but had to ignore it deliberately to get my sound pack for the Digitakt II ready ... that was really hard 😅
Masterpiece!
I just picked up the Digitone 2 a couple of days ago and just found this... Absolutely incredible -- the most beautiful, awe inspiring song I've heard on the DN2 yet.. Well done!
Excellent,as always Substan. Your approach to the Digis made my setup gravitate around them more and more in the last months, I'm even considering selling my last big poly boys and consolidate on Hapax+Digi trinity and a 303. Loving your ST sounds pack since a while now and started exploring DTII pack a couple of days ago (those drones are wonderful!). Hopefully I'll grab a DNII sooner than later and call me out of GAS for a while.
I'd also like to echo other comments here about Elektron not giving credit to your amazing work with their boxes. I can easily see your sound packs featured on the official shop, they are really a work of love and absolutely worth for everyone using a Digi.
Keep posting mate, your music is amazing ❤
🙏
как всегда душевно !
Wow man this sounds incredible
amazing sound design and gorgeous melody. your music makes me want to make more music, and I thank you for that.
Thanks a lot mate !! Would be great to see/hear you uploading more often again.
yeah, this really is a Dreamlike upload...........so ethereal and ephemeral...............another brilliant offering.....................Inspired & inspiring..................
Thanks so much Will !!
Like others I've been waiting for this vid! As soon as the DTII was launched I wanted to see what you'd come up with. Beautiful as always 👏
Beautiful
An absolutely successful composition, from start to finish, as usual with great sounds. 🙂
Thanks a lot !!
I was hooked right from that beautiful crunchy noise intro, well done 🎧
Thanks mate !!
The first 3 Minutes are mindblowing! Great work!
welcome Digitone 2, this box is made for you Substan ! 😊
I think it's my 4th time listening to this fantastic piece of music, great job man! 🥳👍🏻
Waiting for my Digitone 2 to arrive next week, hyped! 🤩🎅🏻🎁
🙏
Wahnsinn! Der Abschluss mit dem Chor… Superschön! Warum will ich jetzt einen DN2? 😂
Danke mein Lieber !!
Love your track
Absolutely Perfect. Match made in Heaven.
Excellente composition très spatiale et planante 👌💯
😌🎧🥇.
Très Cordialement ''.
Danilo'😉
So beautiful. Thank you for the music.
Absolutely gorgeous. It just got better and better!
Thanks mate !!
Grande Bravo !!!
Organic pleasure thanks to organic tones and natural talent.
This is epically brilliant man
Pure class as always 👏👏🎶
Absolutely stunning! Didn't want one of these till now.
Not that I could write and perform music like this even if I did have one. What's your favourite Digi box?
Ive been leaning towards this box. This beautiful composition might push me towards purchasing.
Beautiful stuff and well executed, thanks for sharing!
Very nice, thank you…
Such an exciting time.
Great work and inspiration from substan as always. And temptation.. I have originally sold all except octatrack and syntakt. Now I have new digitakt again and just today ordered new digitone. Beyond help…
Thanks a lot Olda .. really hard to ignore this new generation of Elektron devices.
I've never used an Elektron but I'm impressed by this...seems like you can actually make full compositions with this box. Would love if you could record the process of you making a track from scratch! And great song by the way very cinematic, I love the rif at 3:56
Best Digitone 2 Jam track on the internet.
So good.
Magic! ❤
Another banger! ❤
Very good!
Peak Substan. 🚀
Hell yeah.. Meiner kommt bald :D
Okey thats rly nice.
Massive ;)
Thanks mate !!
arriva domaniiiiiiii !! ormai sono elektron dipendente DROGA allo stato puro.
sounds like the subnautica soundtrack ! really good
As of this moment, this video has 16K views. I think about 15K of them are me.
😅 ... I'm really happy to hear that you like it so much!!
Substan dn2 dropped now we ready
Holy shit
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh 🍿🍿🍿
Tomaaa like 👌
wow!!!! this is another level!!! thank you for sharing your talents with us!!! keep them coming!!! I was waiting for this!!! I’m considering getting the Digitone 2 only because of this video, Elektron should considerate to give some commissions... thank you for your art!!!!
Do you have any tutorials?
Thanks a lot !! I have quite a few tutorials on Patreon ... so far nothing about the Digitone II ... but I'm sure there will be something coming in the near future.
God damn I love the dn1 but you make a compelling argument to bust my strength of will and get dn2!
I thought bringing synths outside would have been memed to death by now
👽✨🌎🌺
Any problems with the screen? Some have been having issues but normally elektrons quality control is pretty solid.
Amazing track brother and happy new year.
Thanks !!! No problems with the screen at all. On my "old" Octatrack MK II there are some slight streaks visible ... but nothing that would bother
Wondering if i go Takt II or Tone II with the syntakt i already have .... hard to choose , anyway , super as usual ....
Just gorgeous absolutely brilliant. Do you have a Patreon and do you have tutorials? This is the type of music I need to learn to make and would be happy to invest in lessons or tutorials. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks a lot !! Yes .. there are quite a few tutorials on my Patreon .. you can also drop your questions there .. and maybe even lessons in the future (not sure yet). Link is in the description of my videos.
@@substan_music Awesome, thank you!!
Wow amazing performance ! Do you think you will keep your OG Digitone anyway ?
Thanks a lot !! I will definitely keep my OG DN and DN keys. Although they will most likely be used less often now.
Oh my, this is epic! I don't know Digitone at all and would like to ask the following question - so is this all composed, arranged and sequenced entirely using the Digitone? Are you using any external gear here?
Thanks ... The Digitone has everything you need for a track on board. I didn't use any external gear ... except for recording and mastering of course
Do you think digitales sounds will still work in the Digitone II ? i loved this soundpack so much i would be sad to leave it behind
The sound pack also works perfectly on the DN II. Aside from that, the successor for the DN II is already in the works. I'm very happy to hear that you like it so much 🙏
@@substan_music great ! i'll download it again and put it on my new DN II, cant wait for the new iteration of digitales, this sound pack really gave life to my DN I and completely changed the style of music i made (for the better of course :) )
and please is it hard to learn to operate this amazing box?
This is really very difficult to answer and of course depends a lot on how much experience you have. Elektrons are generally not considered to be the easiest devices or particularly beginner-friendly. But it is definitely doable, as I have seen with some of my patrons. It wasn't particularly difficult for me ... but I've been dealing with this subject for 30 years now.
@@substan_music ok, thanks very much...
Is all the work done on this one synth such as beats? Thank you for posting!
Yes .. pure Digitone II
sounds great. what did you do in post to master it?
Thanks … not so much … ok there are a few plugins and devices involved but just for little subtle adjustments … a touch coloring/saturation with Kazrog True Iron and Slate SSL bus comp plugin … my little 500 series hardware rack (Elysia Xfilter & Xpressor, SPL Big) for EQ, compression and stereo widening .. Vertigo VSE-2 EQ for a touch AIR .. and sonox inflator & softtube weiss DS-1 mk3 for limiting.
can I connect it to FL Studio for better ambient music creating?
As soon as overbridge (Elektron's interface plugin between device and DAW) is available for the Digitone II, this will be possible very comfortable ... should happen relatively soon.
ho do you always find those places?
I usually look for them in my own garden ... often it's exactly the same tree stump that I redecorate with a few more roots.
Is it only imagination, or does it sound cleaner and less raw than the OG Digitone? Like with the Digitakt 2, where they cleaned up the sound, probably to create space for the many tracks.
My subjective impression is also that it sounds a touch less „LoFi“ or cleaner .. maybe newer/better converters? .. but with all the new sound design options DN II sounds will sound different anyway.
@@substan_music After listening to some of your earlier works, which was exciting to me again, I'm positive I like the old sound better, it's like a characterful, sweet spot for FM for me. Considering getting the OG Digitakt+Digitone pair again, for their "vintage soul", now mostly neglected.
very cool! is the digitone supplying the drums as well?
Yes, since it has 16 tracks now, and digitone 1 was already capable of fantastic drumsounds, this isnt any problem for the dt2.
Thanks !! Yes ... drum sounds are possible to your heart's content
Are these compatible with Digitone II?
Yes of course... it was created on the Digitone II. Unfortunately not compatible with the OG Digitone.
ok Syntakt or Digitone 2?
@@xtremesoundspresets FOR ME .. Digitone 2 without a doubt
So is it one box and all the studio in it, no need of DAW?
Not necessarily all the studio tools available in a DAW .. but more than enough options and tools in a single box to create a decent piece without a DAW
thanks. a bit more experimental, maybe?
yes .. get it .. need a bit more time for „more experimental“ .. had to rush a bit and so slide quickly into familiar tracks.
Erster ❤
Great jam is it me or do digitone 1 and 2 have different color to the sound ?
Thanks !! Definitely ... the new filters sound different (fantastic) ... the new machines allow different kinds of sound ... and also the FM machine has been reprogrammed from scratch (but I'm not sure if there are any sonic differences there ... maybe less aliasing). DN II is a dream also in terms of sound
@ yeah I’m really considering one I have only used the model cycles 🔁 so a little familiar with workflow but I always wanted didgitakt og so I’ll grab the mk2 it’s a hard choice with that and a syntakt or deluge
I can't help thinking that the DN1 sounds a bit warmer in a lot of vide, even in your videos such as Neon Sky compared to this one, and not having either I'm feeling tempted to get the DN1. Someone mentioned in the comments in an Ivar Tryti vid that the DN2 and DT2 use new SHARC audio processing. Do you think that could be related to what I'm hearing? Maybe I just haven't heard enough music with the DN2 yet.
@@Pharmacymusic1 It’s nearly impossible to judge the sound from 2 different videos .. even a slightly different mastering makes a way bigger difference in sound. The only way to really compare would be a quite simple sound (without random modulation) on both devices side by side. The DSP by itself shouldn’t make any difference since it only calculates .. but I would guess that the converters are also slightly improved ones. I would say that DN1 sounds slightly more LoFi .. but not necessarily warmer. But for me there is no point in doing a time consuming A-B comparison since I will make different sounds with DN II anyway .. due to the new expanded sound design options.
Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I think what you said about the DN1 soundind slightly more lofi might be related to what I'm hearing even though you said it's not necessarily warmer. You also mentioned in a previous comment that the DN2 might have less aliasing. I've always felt that there is something about the DN1 that distinguishes it from a vst on a computer and sometimes I hear a certain grit in it's sound, which sounds particularly nice in some dub chords that I've heard some people use. Maybe this grit is due to the aliasing. In general, I've had a sinilar feeling about old hardware digital synths compared to software...for example, for me the Korg Prophecy plugin is no match for the hardware synth, the latter sounds much more like a machine to me and this could be due to the aliasing. I understand that this could be a personal/subjective thing, but maybe this more hifi thing might make the DN2 sound more like a vst and it might be why I perceive it as being slightly colder. The funny thing is, I've actually had a similar feeling about the Digitakt 2 sounding slightly colder than the DT1, so maybe the more hifi sound on that makes it slightly more computer-like and less sampler/machine-like to me. I know people would say they are all computers and this is true but it comes down to what people say about a certain character or mojo in older machines, which maybe the DN1 and DT1 have a bit more of for me. I also wonder if it's possible that the new machines have a very slight difference in frequency curve which makes this difference. I hope that makes sense but I understand that this is a subjective thing and as you said, certai tests would need to be done, so no need to respond unless you feel like it because you might relate to sone of what I'm saying.
sounds very thin, I don't get the hype for this thing, nice melodies though
I really don't hear that. Dn1 was already one of my warmest sounding synths.
Thanks .. but I also respectfully disagree .. DN II sounds gorgeous in my ears .. not thin at all for me .. but I can see and respect that FM sounds/my sound taste are not everyone’s cup of tea.
@@substan_music yep. I really do wonder how people come to these conclusions.
that sounded amazing is that all on board sounds ? very
talented
It´s all Digitone II but mostly not stock sounds ... made a few new and used a few from my DigiSphere sound pack
