    The track at 19 minutes made me so happy, not enough (real) dubstep being made these days (especially dawless), it's such a great sound

    I really enjoyed this, lots of great tips and ideas. Digitakt gets all the love but Digitone rules. The programmable mod wheel on the Keys is incredible but I didn’t know about the velocity mod. Original analog heat goes hard.

    Edit:also own the OT and 100% confirm the digitone and OT feel like close cousins more so than any other elektron gear

    Unison sounds almost as huge if you lock it to two voices, which is actually manageable for a few bars. cheers!
    Btw: you can work around the arp being not locked to scale by making copies of the sound, one with a major arp, another with a minor and one with an diminished arp, when you want to transpose the arp you just plock the apropriate sound for the note.

    Dave Mech also still does amazing things with the Digitone. No way is it dead. I can’t see that happening for a long time.

    Early 2000s / Burial was what I thought dubstep was before we had what (I figure) most think of it is now. 🤷🏻‍♂ In fact, I had no idea of the genre until I read that Burial was called dubstep. I don't care much for the sounds from the mouse guy and that wild stuff.
    Before this, dub ragga I appreciated too.. I do though like some of the sounds and wubs and try to use in other ways....hard to not love a sparse or subtle wub imo.
    Maybe it got too big (which always happens?) And I'm no snob by any stretch.

    I was the lone objector to the prediction that there will be a digitone 2 in your dt2 livestream…. My prediction is that they will put out a spiritual successor to the dn; a polysynth with 12-16 tracks and 24-32 voices of polyphony. Itll be machine based and have an fm engine similar to the digitone, and itll have a handful of other synth engines like VA and other stuff, harkening back to the monomachine but with polyphony. My guess is thats what “tonverk” is gonna turn out to be, if they end up keeping the name. The digitone doesnt have the staying power as the digitakt, its too situated in FM world. I think it would be a better branding decision to call it something new entirely, but can still do the stuff that the digitone can do

    What’s that “fancy little cable”? R u actually syncing your modular to a midi clock just with that cable?

    • @ybotmusic
      @ybotmusic 3 дні тому +2

      Yes! It's the ALM-UT001 Din Sync cable! It splits a DIN signal that I'm sending from the Digitone MIDI Thru port (configured to send DIN48) to the Pam's New Workout. It breaks the DIN signal into Clock and Run. It works with other modules than PNW as well. I've used it to clock the Acid Rain Maestro, Intellijel Metropolix, Mutable Marbles and more. Basically anything that has a clock in that you can divide correctly!

    • @evenmind-music
      @evenmind-music 2 дні тому

      Cool something so small exists to do the job!
      Wondering if it would work to sync my semi modular Moogs to DT / DN. Cause it’s a pain to sync those to midi but I’m still not eager to put in another box just for syncing… (and my GodFather doesn’t do a good job syncing too - as of the current fw that is).
