I mean what? Yeah, this is my go-to channel for making my own Digitone skills seem minuscule :D but the composition here is also next level. Awesome as ever Ivar 🙌🏻👌🏻
Nothing wrong with good old 4/4 dude! Every one of your Digitone videos makes me want to sell all my gear and just grab one of these! Really enjoyed this one!
Hehe, I know I know. I've had my gripes with the Digitone, especially with how its mute mode works, but I've been on a sort of 2nd honeymoon with it lately :D
@@IvarTryti That makes sense, your musics always good, but the Digitone videos recently have been insane! How are you finding the Octatrack? My GAS for one of those or the Analog Rythm has been heating up. Pretty much everything Elektron makes seems so awesome! I should probably just put some time into the digitakt first though 🤣
@@samshrimpton407 Thanks a lot, man! I've given the Octatrack many honest tries, and while I can make tracks on it, I feel it's wasted on me. Live resampling and mangling and arranger mode are a few of its many strengths, but my workflow is kind of at odds with the OT. It's also missing some essential quality-of-life features like trig preview or editing/p-locking multiple trigs at the same time, which I can't live without. The OT'a project structure is more flexible than the DT and DN, but for me it's also more complicated in a way that doesn't inspire me. I've been slowly doing some research on the Analog Four, even if I feel that I've reached my endgame with the DT and DN :P
@@IvarTryti You’re welcome dude! Yeah, I hear you. All the Octatrack videos I’ve seen, I have almost no idea whats going on 🤣 but I always like what I hear! It’s capable of some really interesting sounds, with the way people can manipulate samples on it. I actually have an analog four. The original version, not the mk2. I really only use it via overbridge for the analog synth engines and those LFO’s. I find using it within a DAW really useful, although, over-bridge has always been a little unreliable for me. It’s got a really smooth and warm character. Quite distinctive. Works great as a drum machine, or for pads, basses and leads. I suspect you would like it! I struggle to use it via the hardware though, the old versions screen is tiny, and makes it tough to know what your doing, but the workflow is really similar to the Digitakt. I would guess the MK2 with the bigger screen and the digitakt style buttons will be as easy to work with as the digitakt or digitone. Have you ever been tempted by the Rythm?
Sorry about the late reply! I feel I've reached my endgame with the and DN already, but I'd like to try using an analog synth in my music. Since I haven't been inspired to use the OT lately, I'm thinking of possibly switching it out for an A4. The Rytm has never really grabbed my attention. From what I've heard, it's sort of like a Digitakt plus, with the more advanced features, analog sound sources, and sampling capabilities of the DT. The DT is just so good that using anything else for drums seems like a downgrade, hehe. I won't know until I've tried, though.
Woah. This is absolutely outstanding. Love every second of that. 💚 Great how you use the operater levels to change the sound! And you have an awesome talent for arrangements, too. Fantastic work mate!
@@LloydRobinson cheers Lloyd, appreciate the kind words! But I wouldn't consider myself a master of the DN. I'm learning new things about the Digitone every time I use it and I can tell there are a ton of things to discover left :)
damn dude! had no idea the digitone was capable of tracks like this, but I guess that's part of the wizardry you've cultivated using these devices. that's a crazy amount of drum variety out of one track as well. these things are so tempting because of your skill, great work yet again
God that's good. So many very precise moments in there, switching octaves on the edge, getting back to muting the drums while reloading a pattern... As always, impressive and inspiring!
Thank you very much! Lots of quick movements that miss the mark, too! Lucky for me I've been blurring the line between intent and happy accident, so my mistakes just add to the song :D
Yeah this is just plain stellar! Wow. The time signature is so cool, the main theme seems to be 5+5+6=16 beats, oddly brilliant. If you felt these phrase naturally it's amazing enough and if you thought these phrases, that is even more impressive. That being said, this ia all so very musical and that's what really counts!
Thank you very much! The arp melody is 6 notes long and looping, so it's more like 6+6+4 because it gets cut off earlier on the last bar :D I was actually trying to make another weird time signature track, but ended up squeezing it into normal 4/4 time instead.
Thank you very much! I feel I'm really pushing the Digitone here. It only has 8 voices, but I'm using a lot of tricks with delay and reverb to make it sound like a lot more than that :D
Thank you! I've shared my Digitone sounds and a bunch of my drum loops on patreon: www.patreon.com/ivartryti I also have the project file for a few of my Digitone tracks, including the doom inspired ones :)
Thank you! Hehe, I need around 20 minutes of new music to fill up a 30+ minute album. At this rate, it'll be another month and a half maybe! If I'm as inspired and motivated all the way
The workflow seems so complex to get from scene to scene. Do you have any videos covering this per day? Is this unique to you or would you say this is how most people perform on the digitone. Love your videos and am interested in getting one possibly but this looks quite in depth. A song performance breakdown would be very cool to help get an idea of this beast for us newbies watching a master in action
There's definitely a lot of button combos and clicking around involved. You can make things less busy by spreading out the music across more patterns. I like to use as few patterns as possible and do all my tweaking live, because it's easier for me to keep track of "where" I am in the track. A lot of what I do could be programmed in pattern by pattern and then played one after the other, but that loses some of the spontaneity. It frees up your hands to play other instruments though!
@@IvarTryti that makes sense, preprogramming can be boring I agree. The digitone sounds so good though I can handle some clicking to get those digi tones ;)
Thank you very much! Sometimes I have a hard time naming my tracks, and I was trying and failing to make yet another hard sounding non-4/4 track, but gave up and made this instead.
Thank you very much! I usually wait until I have 30+ minutes of new music before putting together an album. So far I'm at around 13 minutes, and if I stay inspired and motivated, I'll have enough in around a month and a week or two :D
I'm totally lost for words again and again... I just have a question :) How could you incorporate that complex drum fill at 1.26 ? You didn't change any pattern as far as I can see.. Maybe trig conditions ? but how? :)) thanks man.. 🙏
This is best thing I’ve ever heard on the digitone
wowowowo..just. wow. incredible. you're god of Digitone/Digitakt. These machines were made for you. True esence of word "epic"
Hehe, thank you very much!
I mean what? Yeah, this is my go-to channel for making my own Digitone skills seem minuscule :D but the composition here is also next level. Awesome as ever Ivar 🙌🏻👌🏻
Haha, thank you very much James!
Did I comment on this already or is my mind blown again?
Hehe, thank you very much!
you have no clue how jealous I am off your skills. Good job mate
Thank you so much, Don!
The Digitone skill is obviously gigantic but the composition skill is yet an other level of gigantic. Awesome work!
Thank you very much, man :D

Thank you very much! You get so many different timbres in such a small range on the operator levels, especially the B operator's.
Absolutely! Makes the sounds even more versatile
for several months now this song is one of my favourite songs. Keep on doing such inspiring stuff. Your talent is exceptional!
Thank you!
That's so awesome to hear, man. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much, Brent! I'm using all the tricks I know to get the most out of the Digitone in this one :D I really appreciate it!
wild! I had no idea this machine was capable of this in the right hands.
I can’t wait to have this on my Spotify playlist! So beautiful!
Thank you very much, Sebastian!
Wow! Wow for what the Digitone can do, and wow for what you can make it do. I'm blown away every time you post.
Thank you very much, Brandon!

Impressive as always. But also a brilliant track I'm going to be looping. Bravo.
Thanks a lot, man :D
....and this one. Wow.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤
Kinda crazy how good the DN drums sound. The pitched up snares really punch.
Right? The DN does really nice drums, but the sweet spots for drums are so tiny it takes a while to find them!
This is amazing as always but the complexity of this is just phenomenal, out of just this box. Amazing.
Thank you very much, man! I'm really happy with how much stuff I've managed to sqeeze out of the Digitakt in one take :D
just. yes.
Thanks!
Dope!
Thanks!
This one is something else indeed. Great work!
👌😎

one take wonder!
Another crazy track! Bravo! :)
Thanks!
This is great Ivar,
Thanks a lot, Niels!
👏🏽
Thanks!
Masterpiece
Thanks!
I have no idea how you get this much sound out this little box ... and how make it SO great???!!!!!! Amazing!

That was awesome, great atmosphere!
Thank you very much, Jesse!
So good!! You are forever an inspiration.
Thank you very much, Joe!
DUDE.
That got better and better. Dope drums and patches. And 3:15? 😙👌
Thanks a lot, man!
Damn, so good!
Thanks!
unbelievable. have you ever made or shared any patch banks for the digitone? i'd love to see how you've created some of these sounds

Ivar, add me to the list of people who bought a digitone because of your vids! I hope Elektron notice and send you something nice someday!!
Hehe, thank you very much Colin! That's so cool to hear :D
Very nice👍
Thanks!
amazing as always.
Curious what was not expected about this track?
Thank you very much! Sometimes I have a hard time naming my tracks, and I was trying and failing to make yet another hard sounding non-4/4 track, but gave up and made this instead.
WOW ! Amazing beautiful track ❤ Have you ever thinking about selling soundsets for the Digitone 🙏 ? The sounds are so beautiful 👍👌 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much! I actually have all my patches up on my patreon! I try to put out new patches whenever I have a nice chunk of new ones, too.
Shit man.... that's awesome Ivar. Time to organize yourself an EP or LP - that is unless you've already got one and have been holding out...

I'm totally lost for words again and again... I just have a question :) How could you incorporate that complex drum fill at 1.26 ? You didn't change any pattern as far as I can see.. Maybe trig conditions ? but how? :)) thanks man.. 🙏
What exactly are you doing when you are changing the octave range at 3:37? Is that what you are doing?
I'm making the arp melody play an octave higher. I forgot that reloading the pattern resets this, so I had to do it twice :P
Never found my digitone that I lost in the bus, but you convinced me of just saving up and get another one for sure
Oh man, yeah that sucks. It's a long shot, but I hope it turns up one day! And thank you, the DN really is great
i am selling my Elektrons . . nooo waaaay I can get close to this ... just respect ... thank you ....
agree with you :) I feel embarrassed as I have more than one elektron lol.....
Thank you!
pop well done ... but not for me
Thanks for the input, Bruno :)
