Miles Kvndra | Digitone & Digitakt Techno Jam No. 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 тра 2021
- Hi friends, happy to share my third Digitone & Digitakt jam. I had a bit of a writer's block the last weeks but this jam made the cut. It’s way deeper than my last jams and way more freestyle as I didn’t jam with the finished patterns too often before I shot the video - but I like how it turned out.
Setup: Digitakt goes into Digitone and Digitone’s outs are recorded with my Olympus LS-5. Some fine tuning in iZotope Ozone - no artificial ingredients!
If you want to learn more about my Digitone/Digitakt setup check out my new tutorial series on this combo: • Playlist
Happy to hear what you think and have a great weekend,
Miles

Best digitakt & tone jam I've heard.
Wow - thank you Matias but I think there are other fantastic Digi combo jams out there! :)
what a monster jam ! Happy I came across this old video today ! :)
Glad you dig the old stuff as well! I think I need to do another outside jam this summer :)
This is a Masterpiece, Master Performance, Master Track.
Huge thanks, eM! Really appreciate that feedback 🙏🏻
Is it me or does this have a slight Jean-Michel Jarre feel to it? Oxygen.. grand! Love it!!
It wasn't exactly an inspiration but having a JMJ feel is a huge compliment - thank you!
@@MilesKvndra I had the same idea :P
@@MilesKvndra didn’t mean to suggest it was an inspiration :) but it’s refreshing to see the talent come through the restrictive elektron devices and still shine
@@ElieLabeca cheers Elie! Sometimes it's good to have these kinds of restrictions to push inspiration :)
Sounds SOOO good man!!! Loving these vibes. The verbed out synth arp is lovely. And what a full arrangement. Great work!!!
Hey Rhyne, good to see you here! So cool that you dig the vibes and love the jam - big fan of your Digitakt jams here! Cheers man :)
Great music my friend, as always! The build up is to intense ... keep going man! Greetings to cologne!
Hey Mat, thank you so much! Always great to hear your feedback and I'm happy you like the build up. :) I hope you're well and I'm sure you'll find some inspiration soon - all the best and take good care my friend! 🙌🏻
Excellent. I take these vibes with me into the weekend. Trippy drop !!
Cheers buddy! Have a great trippy start into the weekend!
Smooth as always! that droning bass 🤤
Cheers Ed! Happy to hear that from you and glad you like the bass - pretty happy with that too! 😍
Elektron machines bought to life, doing and sounding rinsed of all the component parts. :)
Thank you Miles inspirational.
Great to hear that you find these jams inspirational - a new one is coming tomorrow! Happy to hear what you think of this and have a great day! 🙌🏻
I like the transitions, they help the track stay interesting and evolving. Nice work.
Many thanks Cameron! Yeah I love longer transitions to lead into different parts of the jam or song. Glad you like them! :)
Insanely good!!! Loved the track and the visuals! Amazing what can be done with just the digi bros in the right hands, bravo!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much my friend! 😍 Happy to hear that you dig the music and the visuals - and yeah the Digis are so powerful! 💚
wow very nice, absolute genius session!
Thanks Derrick!
The perfect weekend sound 🥳
Weekend with the best ♥️♥️♥️
wow incredible sounds! this set flows really well and the camera shots added alot to the video great stuff!!
Hey Nova, so cool that you like the additional shots!! Put some more effort into this video, glad to hear that if paid off in the end. Cheers and have a great weekend! :)
Brilliant performance!!
Thank you!
This was exceptional. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, Johan! Thanks for checking it out and for the great feedback, I really appreciate it. 🙏🏻 Great day to you!
Cool jam, Miles. I enjoyed the striking crescendos too. I like your minimalist setup and it just goes to prove that great music can be made with limited hardware and unlimited imagination. I also use the Neumann NDH 20 headphones!
Cheers! Yeah I think limitations sometimes can totally boost creativity. When working in Ableton I often was overwhelmed by all the possibilities that you have and then coming from that to using the Digitone standalone was a total game changer for me. Can definitely recommend that! And the NDH 20 is very great, it quickly became my go to option for closed monitoring headphones (although I still like my beyerdynamic DT 770s too).
As i mentioned at instagram what a great and inspiring jam! Everybody give this man the Big stage he deserve.
Thanks for that, mate! Wouldn't say no to that haha 😁
Incredible track for the sounds you create with the Digitone so Moog like 👍
Cheers Jo! Yeah I'm always amazed by how analogue the Digitone can sound haha
Amazing work , love that bassline. I saw a comment that said all of your music sounds the same - pay no attention to that , you have a signature sound which is brilliant 💪🏽
Hey Ashley, thanks so much! Yeah I thought pretty much the same but it is encouraging to hear that from you too - many thanks for that! 🙏🏻💚
wow wow wow wow wowowowowowo
Cheers Owen!! 🙏🏻
Very nice and inspirational live-set... You def know how to combine this 2 machines together. Now I'm sold on the Digitone !
Thanks a bunch for the feedback! Really like that track and looking forward to putting together a longer liveset in the future :)
So delicate sound design, very nice! Thanks for inspiration :)
Glad to hear that you dig the sound design and find it inspiring - cheers! 😎
M! That was damn good. Always lovely to see you jamming and feeling it behind your machines. I really enjoy what you're doing here! Looking forward to have you someday in Copenhagen for a gig!
Thank you so much G! Absolutely felt this one and it helped me to overcome a little writers block. Ohh and I would love to share the stage in Copenhagen with you and maybe some other people from the PVC family. Cheers my friend! 💚
Hits right in the heart my friend...for me that's what matters.Ace!
Cheers Wall! Great to see you here and all thanks for the lovely feedback! 🙌🏻
Nice to see you're starting to take these great jams outdoors! Your arrangement improv and buildup performance is so good would love to see a longer set at some point - I am sure it would work great live once things open up :)
Cheers my friend, appreciate your feedback! Jamming outside is great but I still have them powered by a cable reel in this one. Really need to take care of a fully battery powered setup to take this setup way further out. And yeah a longer liveset is definitely planned some time in the future, I think this could be really cool! :)
great job, Miles! Thank you!
You're welcome and thanks for watching! :)
I love it! The development is exquisite.
Thanks a bunch George! Really happy to hear that 🙏🏻
You are killing it on these machines. Another excellent techno jam. I hope you’ll offer individual tutoring at some point. I’d totally like to pick your brain on a few things like ideas for build ups and transitions. Again, excellent job and hope there will be some breakdown videos where you dissect the song.
Thanks a bunch, Michael! I'm so happy to hear this and for your continuous support. I'd really love to do that but I'm really lacking the time. :( But a breakdown could be possible some time in the future! :) Thanks for the input and have a great weekend!
Killed it. Those arps 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Cheers Rob! Will always love the Arp on the Digitone, my favourite feature! 😍
Sehr guter Track, Miles! Immer wieder toll etwas von Dir zu hören.
Danke dir für dein Feedback, Michael! Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt!

Absolutes Meisterwerk, Miles !!!
Vielen Dank dir! Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt 🙂
Amazing jam! The mix sounds sounds super clear.
And this gives me so many new ideas on how to get the most of triggers! :D - Thanks!
Thanks dude! And awesome to hear that you get some new inspirations out of it - that's the best thing! :)
This is great ! Really slick and professional. I love the simplicity of your setup and watching you work it. Great video quality too. Nice work !
Hey Ken, thanks so much! Love to hear that you also like the video quality. Put some effort into this one! :)
Man this is good
Cheers Neil. I really like how this jam turned out as well. 💚
Miles the cinematics and the jam are incredibly beautiful, the wobble bass in this jam is especially awesome. Unbedingt nen release 💯
Vielen Dank dir, Adil! Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt! 😍 Wird in der Zukunft bestimmt ein Release bekommen 💚
wow, instant subscribed!
Hey James, thanks so much for the sub! Really appreciate that and happy to hear that you like it :)
This is gold, totally inspiring. I already have a digitakt and this makes me want to buy the digitone to complement it, thank you very much for creating this piece of art!
Cheers Pablo, happy to hear that the jam is inspiring. Yeah I can totally recommend this combo, amazing for standalone music making! :)
...wieder sehr schön gemacht...!
Danke dir, Dieter! Freut mich zu hören. :)
Always a pleasure to watch my friend again and again👌
Can you make a track from statch video with these machines? Just creating with no comments. Love to see this
Thanks buddy - really appreciate that! Yeah I already thought of something like this for Digitone and Digitakt, maybe as a livestream. This would be with talking or doing a videoseries on that, where I create stuff from scratch. It's on my list for the future! :)
@@MilesKvndra Hi my friend,
Good to hear😁 cant wait.
Very professional mate! Lovely breaks and build ups. Great use of the fill function as well. Also nice that you have created your own signature sound. Keep it up Miles :)
He’s crushing it!!
Cheers mate, I appreciate that! Really happy to hear that from you as I love your latest jams too - keep that up!
You really know your boxes! Stunning performance and song
Thanks a lot Sebastian! Yeah the Digis are great performance tools, love them! 😍
You're getting very good at this!
Cheers Dolvaran! Trying my best and it's great fun :)
Wow, very nice! Great camera work too!
Thank you - put some more effort into this this time, glad that it paid off! 🙂
Wooow! Its amazing what you can do with this two black beautys! ✨👌
Cheers robu! Yeah these two offer great possibilities 😍
Mega geil, zeigt uns was von oben, ich will alles sehen!
Danke dir, Martin! Da brauche ich noch ne zusätzliche Kamera für 😁
Nice
Thank you! 🙏🏻
You didn’t have to go this hard 😤
Sorryyy, I needed to. 😁 Cheers Rory!
genio saludos desde tijuana
Cheers back from Cologne 🙌🏻
WTF Super amazimg
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Lovely jam, mein Lieber. Sehr stark gemacht, geiles Ding! :)
Vielen Dank dir - freut mich zu hören, dass es gefällt! :)
@@MilesKvndra Prima. Ich denke, das wird jeder so sehen, der schon einmal mit Elektron-Maschinen Musik gemacht hat. Das live so sauber zu arrangieren hat sicher nicht beim ersten Mal funktioniert....da steckt schon Arbeit hinter und die darf und soll man auch gerne schätzen! :)
@@lamdahalbe vielen Dank dir! Tatsächlich war das der erste Take auf Video, davor habe ich nur ein paar mal mit den finalen Pattern gejammt. Und es sind für meine Ohren auch verdammt viele Fehler drin oder Dinge, die ich gerne anders gemacht hätte. 😅 Aber ich bin irgendwann davon weg, den perfekten Take erreichen zu wollen. Die vermeintlichen Fehler machen die Performance ja auch einzigartig und es freut mich mega, dass die Leute die Jam mögen, obwohl sie nicht perfekt ist. :)
10/10
Cheers Marcin! 💚
Du topst doch jedes Mal auf's neue! Richtig gut!
Pääätzyyyyboi ich danke dir! Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt mein Lieber 😘
@@MilesKvndra Next on: Miles Kvndra live at Rookburgh, Phantasialand for Cercle
@@PatrickPeusmann ohhh Boy das wäre echt mein Traum! Schön irgendwo oben auf der Hotelanlage 😍
@@MilesKvndra Damit hättest du das Game gewonnen. Mal den Robert anhauen, die haben ja gerade nicht viel zu tun. 🤷
Nice bro! ::)
Thanks buddy! :) Congrats on the new vid keep it up
4:04 awesome sound Miles. My favourite part is the resolution at 4:56.
Cheers Daryl! Love this part too, a lot of fill Trigs going on there. 😁
Elektron God! 💯
Cheers man, appreciate it! :)
@@MilesKvndra you’re such an inspiration. I keep watching all your jams. Much respect and keep on keeping on 🙏🏻❤️ Greetings from the 🇵🇭
@@funkavy thanks so much, hearing that my music inspires others honestly is the best thing! :) Hope you dig the other jams too and much love back from Germany to Czech Republic 🙌🏻
Well done man! Sounds like something you should send to Plangent/ Recondite!
Hey Diverge, that's a huge honour - Recondite is great!!
Nice dude really phat ambiente :)
Cheers Alex! This garden definitely is a happy place I'll shoot a couple of more videos in. :)
@@MilesKvndra Gerade gemerkt, dass du Deutsch kannst 🤦♂️ Auf jeden der Garten ist echt cool für die Videos, passt auch zum sound 😄👍
@@alxdpo6471 Haha Danke dir! Ja bin Kölner 😁
@@MilesKvndra Ah, nice. Leider bisschen weit weg für ne spontane Jam Session 🤣
Okay, that was insane. I felt I was listening to Stephan Bodzin's “birth” remix. That bass in begining sounds like a Sub37. Was that coming from the DN? Good job man!
I'd lie if I'd say Bodzin hasn't been an inspiration for that jam haha - the remix is great! Yeah all basses in this jam are coming from the DN - cheers! :)
Du setzt die Messlatte jedesmal etwas höher..! Geiler track und toll arrangiert!
Danke dir, Maik! Ja das hat echt Spaß gemacht zu recorden, aber war auch echt gut Aufwand hinter. Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt! :)
@@MilesKvndra Dann bin ich ja beruhigt, wenn ich weiß daß Du Dich zumindest anstrengen musstest um sowas rauszuhaun haha ;)
@@maikrobin da kannste Gift drauf nehmen! 😁 Schönen Sonntag dir
Really really liked this one!! (Not that I didn’t like the others). Just curious: is there a specific reason why you run the Digitakt into the Digitone and not the other way around?
Thank you, appreciate it! Yeah the Digitakt's inputs are mono only and just for sampling, so you're unfortunately not able to route audio through the device. Really miss that, this would add a whole bunch of new possibilities!
@@MilesKvndra This has just been changed ;)
@@docteurmarc1 yeeaahh I've seen it! Great news :)
Nice we’re do you find most of your sounds to play ;) ❤
Thank you! Hope that you dig it 🙌🏻
This is really good Miles, that drop at 5:00 gave me chills... I'm not really a fan of techno but you change my mind, well done mate ! ✨
Wow that's awesome to hear Damien! Glad to hear that people who are not so much appreciate the jam! 😍🙌🏻
Great work! What headphones do you use?
Thank you! These are Neumann NDH 20, great headphones!
I have these two fabulous machines. What is the master machine?
Congratulations for your set
Hey Gilles, thank you so much! The Digitakt is the master machine, it send clock and controls the Digitone's track muting. For sequencing I do it on both machines separately as this lets me use the arp on the Digitone. Cheers and great day to you! 🙏🏻💚
@@MilesKvndra thanks for your message and explanations. 👍.have a nice day. 🙂
I would call this deep progressive
Hey PeladoClaus, agree. It definitely has some deep and progressive elements to it. Always hard for me to categorize my music though. Thanks for listening! 🙌🏻
@@MilesKvndra it's really good music.. very bodzinesque
@@peladoclaus he definitely is a big inspiration! Thank you! :)
@@MilesKvndra you nailed it!
Mal wieder ordentlich geliefert. Sehr geil. Aber mal ganz ehrlich… T-Shirt-Wetter?! Wohn ich etwa auf der falschen Rhein-Seite oder hat es dich gen Süden verschlagen?!
Hahaha danke dir, hab das letzte Woche aufgenommen und es war schon etwas frisch! 😁 Aber als die Sonne raus kam ging es dann. Cheers!
Nice, although I feel that the kick is a little too big and the bass a little too small to my ears.
Hey Radek, thanks a lot for the feedback! Yeah I had some issues with the low end in the mastering the bass sound had way too much energy. So I tried to tame it but I might have gone a little bit too far here 😅
I love your tunes, but I think I own keyboards older than you. 😁Respect!
I don't doubt that haha. 😁
Single best drop on the Digitone :) also glad to hear you explore some new melodic ground.
Cheers John! Yeah I experimented a little with new deeper sounds in this and also tried a new key (F minor). Glad that you like it! :)
