@@liftoffagain I really appreciate it! That's really good to hear, because I spend a lot of time just planning out what to include and what order to talk about stuff in. I also try to do everything in one take to keep things spontaneous, that way I can show how to deal with whatever problems pop up that I hadn't prepared for.
Another trick for hi hats that allows live tweaking is to use 2 LFOs, one is set to Envelope shape and the other is set to square or triangle. The ramp shape is to create the hi hat sounds themselves, set to BPM16 or 8 or whatever speed you want. The second envelope is used to add variation in volume. You can then, during the song, go into LFO page 2 and change the speed of LFO1 to change the speed of the hats on the fly without changing patterns.
I'm new to the Digitone and the learning curve is steep. This tutorial has really opened my eyes to some of the capabilities of this incredible instrument. To be able to use the ARP in this way with drums is awesome. So thank you so much for a great tutorial. Subscribed.
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Even when I dont think I need to watch about something that doesnt really apply to me I learn a new technique from you. You're the best!
Its been said already, but you are top tier elektron teacher. Some of us are too adhd and/or lazy to figure this stuff out from the manual. You open up a lot of otherwise untapped value in the elektron devices. They should pay you.
Awesome tricks here, mate. Really pushing the Digitone to the limits with these, I like that! Didn't know the hihat arp trick, this will save me so many trigs! Always did a workaround using delay on the hats to achieve that with drums all on one track. Many thanks for sharing the knowledge! :)
Thanks a lot, Miles! The arp trick is fairly new to me, too. Before that, my drum track was super busy and all trigs were in use, which made it difficult to figure out what trig did what. Especially before the trig preview update!
Thank you very much! Hehe, many of these tricks were figured out the hard way, but a lot of this is actually posted in the unofficial tips and tricks thread on the elektronauts forums.
Of all the Digitone tutorials, you and Miles Kvndra are the best 👌 Easy to follow, explained well and it shows how much time and effort you have put into understanding sound design on the Elektron machines.
I was looking for a video like this for monthsss. i knew the digitone had the potential to be a massive drum machine. thanks x100 for giving this tip to the community
I just brought a Digitone a few days ago. Your tutorial videos are an absolute goldmine. The way you explain is very clear and easy to follow (unlike some other digi tutorials) So big up and thanks a lot!!! Hello from New Zealand btw
Good video, a lot of helpfull tricks, thx! It can be usefull to add one more trick for hihats (or not only for hihats) - quick on\off using "page" button (trigger conditions - FILL). PS. And one note, I was unable to repeat your action at 15:11. The sound changed depending on the change decay Time, but as soon as you stop changing the parameter, it would return to its original decay. At the same time, when I add a drive parameter, when I change the parameter, I overdrive the kick, and in the same way, when I stop changing the drive parameter, the kick returns to the original sound. At the same time, the sound on the track is exactly hi-hat.
Good stuff, thanks so much, again! :) Your teaching style is excellent and your videos have saved this new DN owner a lot of headaches. Seeing your workflow and these sort of tips and tricks helps to dive deep into the Elektron sequencer!
Thank you so much for this. You give me so much inspiration with the videos explaining your workflow, I agree that Elektron should be kicking you down something from these. Priceless!!
this is great information but the muscle memory hot-keying can make simple moments very hard to follow. I got the basic ideal, but there's a lot that is lost in just "lets do this" clickity clack and a handful of steps are completely lost.
Thanks for the feedback! Is there anything in particular you're wondering about? I tried explaining the important bits step by step, but I do tend to speed up when I want to just show some quick examples!
Genius programming! I’ve only done similar things with the octatrack and digitakt, having polyphony on the digitone takes these ideas next level. Very impressive and excellent instructional video, thank you! 🙏
Awesome as always. Using the arp to get around the voice stealing is neat! I love the Digitone's drum sounds, but from all the soundpacks I've got and the sounds I've made myself, I can never get a nice fat snare. Are your snares ones you have made, or are they from a pack? A lot of the ones you demoed before choosing one sounded very good.
Thank you! Yeah, I it was amazing when I realized you could do that. I made those drum sounds myself, using the steps I explain in this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/CUMi6zErxV0/v-deo.html I also have my digitone sounds on my patreon, 95 melodic sounds and 88 drum sounds so far. I'm releasing new sysex files every now and then :)
brilliant! when you did the snare rolls, it sounds like the first couple of hits are darker than the last couple, but i didn’t notice you playing with the notes or the other parameters - what am I hearing there?
You can't edit sounds in the sound pool, sadly. It's why I put the hihat sound into track 4, so I can edit the hihats while playing. The sound-locked trigs *will* be affected by the tweaks you do, but they will always reset to the default sound they're locked to.
what a great tutorial!! tried to implement the arp trick with the a4 but it doesnt seem to work. Did anyone make it work somehow? It seems it doesnt save the arp settings for the patches
Sadly, the arp trick doesn't work on the A4. On the DN, the arp settings are tied to the sound, but on the A4 they’re tied to the pattern :( There is a different workaround, though! I haven't used it myself, but here's an explanation by @lyingdalai: www.elektronauts.com/t/isnt-the-analog-four-the-most-incredible-and-deep-instrument-from-elektron-so-far/167283/859
I think with the introduction of the reuse option in the voicing you don't need to make each note different. Turning off reuse makes it so repeated presses of the same note trigger new voices. These tutorials are pure gold by the way. I would love one looking at how you make the drum sounds in the first place. Speaking of which are these sounds on your patreon? I downloaded your patreon stuff a while ago and put it on my digitone, If these are new sounds I'll have update my download. EDIT: the arp trick for saving trigs is so nice. I wonder if it works with digitakt's retrig function or if it requires the polyphony to continue after another voice has played. I will need to experiment.
Ahh, I need to check that out! I haven't tried it yet, but if it works like I think, it would definitely come in handy to avoid voice stealing. Right now I lock voices to the tracks where I don't want them to be stolen, but this would lock that voice out for all the other tracks for the whole pattern. I gotta experiment with it, I hope it works as you described :D The last tutorial I made is one on how I make drum sounds on the Digitone! ua-cam.com/video/CUMi6zErxV0/v-deo.html I also uploaded the sounds I made in that tutorial to my patreon, along with all my other patches and a project containing the patterns for Warts and All, Packed, Scratch And Frazzle, and You Kinda Scare Them, if you're interested. The arp trick really helped me get even more out of the Digitone :D
Awesome as usual Ivar! :) A more general question I can't see to find an answer for is, can you save all of your patterns and patches somewhere? So they don't just live on the Digitone hardware, maybe there is somewhere in Overbridge I'm missing? Thanks! :)
Thank you very much! It's possible to export sysex files containing either patches or projects. I couldn't figure out how to do it with the Elektron Transfer tool which is linked to on the Digitone support page. Instead, I've been using c6 sysex manager which is their old software for Analog Drive, apparently :P www.elektron.se/support/?connection=analog-drive#downloads
Thank you! You can sound lock synth sounds. Drum sounds are basically just short, snappy synth sounds, so it's the exact same process and with the exact same workarounds (every trig must use different notes to avoid voice stealing).
This is incredibly clever. You've kind of turned the arp into a separate sequencer that runs alongside the existing sequencer. Is the arp universal across all 4 tracks? Or can you have a separate arp setting per track?
Hehe, I was blown away when I learned about it. I think there's an arp active per track, but the arp on the latest trig will replace the current arp settings, as far as I can tell.
Thanks for these videos. Had the DN for a couple of weeks and these videos have been amazing resources for learning! Question for you though as can't gey my arp trigs to performs as you do.. I have kick on 1, snare on 5, arp HH starting on 2 nudged all the way towards step 1, arp kick on 11 and arp snare on 13. My problem is that when the HH arp hits the arp kick on 11 it stops and seems to be cancelled out by it. I have checked that all drum sounds are different notes and that theres only 1 arp speed active at a time. It's my understanding that set up like this the HH should play through for the full 16 steps? Has elektron possibly changed how this works with firmware updates since this video was made 2 years ago?
I recorded my Digitone with a Typhon on the additional MIDI but still forgot to turn off metronome for recording, last night, and feel really dumb about it. soundcloud.com/bloody-water/digityphontest
Hi Ivar, thanks for the great video. I have a quick question: it seems to me that once you've put different sounds on the trigs in your drum track, then the global FW will only be applied to the track sound, is that right? And if that's so, how do you glue your drums together, by going trig by trig and turning up the FX to the same-ish amount of, say, reverb? In your video for exmple my understanding is that the hihats are the ones that'll be affected by the track's FX. But how do you apply overdrive for all the sounds there at the same time? And Delay? And Reverb? Thanks a lot in advance. I just got a second hand Digitone (because of YOU and Rephazer mostly) and I come from the Model:Cycles. It sounds gorgeous but I'm definitely a bit lost, even when it comes to knowing what I can do with that huge sound pallet!
Hey, sorry about the late reply. The fastest way to do it is to p-lock the fx sends trig by trig. If you do control-all, the p-locked trigs will be affected a tiny right after the start. This is especially noticeable if you control-all the filter cutoff, because the drums will get this BLUIP! or BLIUOPP! sound if they have a lot of resonance. Making the amp decay shorter with control-all will also cut the p-locked drums short. Other than that it's like you said, only the hihats are affected by the track's FX. Haha, thank you very much! Rephazer is the one who convinced me to go for the Digitakt and later Digitone :D
@@IvarTryti Thanks, by the way I'm amazed that you manage to answer all the comments here and mine especially, with lots of details. So helpful! So please don't apologize! I'm finishing to polish a chiptune track all made on the Digitone, hopefully will post it this weekend. And I must say your videos and help have been very, very helpful, couldn't thank you enough for that. So yeah I noticed the p-locked fx will have effects applied to it, but less than the track sounds. Oh well, helps me being more careful at crafting my tracks and p-locking carefully!
@@TristanBaldi Hehe, I notice that making drums on the Digitone takes way more planning than the Digitakt. Having to put all the sounds you need in the sound pool beforehand, took me a while to get used to. Changing these sounds is a slow process too, so all the more reason to choose carefully the first time :D
@@IvarTryti Definitely. Same struggle with using different sequences of an arpegiattor in a single track, have to always change the arp, then save to the pool, change the arp, save to the pool etc. to p-lock things. Can't wait to finish this 8-bit track to be able to mess around more with parameters live!!
Hey Ivar, do you synthesize all your drum sounds in your sound library? they all sound fantastic! I am looking for a good resource for drums/perc on the digitone
I do! And thank you very much :). I made a tutorial on how I make drum sounds on the Digitone here: ua-cam.com/video/CUMi6zErxV0/v-deo.html I also have my sounds available on my patreon. There are 95 melodic sounds and 88 drum sounds so far, and I update them every few months.
You can turn any drum sound into an arp enabled one by going to the arp menu, setting the speed to 1/32 and saving it as a separate sound. A bit cumbersome doing this to every drum sound you use, but I think that's better than filling up the sound slots with a lot of doubles.
Mind blown. Seriously, this video alone is a gold mine. Electron needs to support you!
Thank you very much! Hehe, that would be awesome :D
Yeah I agree. You make great music and are also a good teacher. Thanks so much for this!

I cant find any arp enabled snares. There’s just one on my digitone. Any tips?
You can turn any drum sound into an arp enabled one by going to the arp menu, setting the speed to 1/32 and saving it as a separate sound. A bit cumbersome doing this to every drum sound you use, but I think that's better than filling up the sound slots with a lot of doubles.
Thank You very much!!! Ivar....Clap Clap Clap!!!!
Thanks for watching!
THX !!!
Thanks for watching :D
Takes the fun out of spontaneous creativity. I watch the video but click click click fast is hard to understand just what's going on.
TRIG YES 🤣
I'm so glad they implemented it. Working with the Digitakt and Digitone is SO much more fluid now that you can preview trigs!
