Elektron Machinedrum: Slow Attack Envelopes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2018
- Three techniques for sounds that slowly swell and fade-in are explored on the Elektron Machinedrum. The first technique involves routing a triggered LFO to the VOL parameter, the second uses slide trigs on a CTR-8P machine, and the third involves a re-sampling approach, turning the decay tail of a percussive sound into a slow attack envelope. I used the first of these methods extensively for composing 'Singing Bowls in the Snow' - • Singing Bowls in the S...

I have the MK1 (non uw) and I always stumble onto your videos. Probably my new favorite UA-cam channel for sure.
Nice! That red screen always makes me giddy.
thanks! it's part of the special charm and personality of MD for sure!
Unbelievable how intense and deep you know this thing. So glad I was able to grab MND UW mk2 recently, hope to someday learn half of what you know. Never a dull moment with this monster. Keeper forever. Elektron instruments open new doors every day and are always Alive.
it's not a perfect machine, but it definitely has lots of charm :)
@@maxmarco I agree. Nice to have a variety of gear that excels and lacks at the same time, keeps it interesting.
@@maxmarco whats is the perfect mahine according to you ? :)
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice video. CTR8 + slide is nice idea, enables controlling several noise generators at once.
I would add one advanced method: Route your noise generator(s) back into MD using individual outputs and inputs. Use global menu to specify the path of the signal. Then you can use INP machines, to shape the AMP envelope as you please.
thank you! this isn't really meant to be a sound design tutorial per se, and is primarily about basic but not necessarily immediately obvious modulation routing techniques. Using input machines and routing MD outputs back into inputs was outside the scope of this tutorial, but I have been wanting to make a video that goes more in detail about the machinedrum audio i/o and input machines, not sure when that will happen though! :)
This is rad
Thank you! Machinedrum is an amazing modulation machine and it's easy to overlook the multitude of very simple but extremely powerful features
are there any other ways to get slow attacks on the Machinedrum UW? I'm not intimately familiar with all the machines and their possibilities - perhaps some of them are able to do slow attacks internally?
i like that slide method, nice!
also consider: modulating an LFO's speed/depth using slide p-locks
Thanks for this video, it's really opened up a lot of sound design possibilities. By the way, do you know if it's possible to route a single LFO to multiple tracks? I know you can route multiple LFOs to a single track, but I cannot figure out a way or a workaround to do the reverse. I'm asking because I'm experimenting with playing the MD polyphonically independent of the sequencer and I'd like to set up a long attack envelope for every voice without eating up all of the LFOs.
unfortunately I don't think that's really possible, maybe with some sort of weird MIDI loopback thing but even if that sort-of works it would mess with a lot of other stuff and be very limited
You could probably apply the LFO modulations to the Monomachine if I'm not mistaken?
I am waiting for my Machinedrum
interesting
Machinedrum is pretty great at modulation! simple but very powerful LFOs
What happened at 5:30? You opened kit menu, seemingly did nothing but pushing couple knobs and somehow GND-NS was loaded into track 2. How did you do that?
my memory is a bit fuzzy so I had to take a look - seems I just edited it out to not have dead air/redundancy and I didn't have narration to fill in over it - footage there is fast-forwarded - I probably fumbled a good bit :D
@@maxmarco got it, thanks. nice trick with ram machine, never did this before.
@@maxmarco The kind of explanation I would have to concede to. Perfect.
