New Elektron Digitakt II: Unboxing and First Play with the Stereo Sampler and Drum Machine


video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Elektron's new Digitakt II is here! One of Elektron's most successful drum machine samplers has grown up with a plethora of new features beat makers are going to love. Most notably the Digitakt II is a 16 track, stereo sampler with 16 MIDI tracks, 128 step sequencer, 20GB of storage, 400MB RAM with access to 1024 samples per projects. In this video we unbox the new Digitakt II and have our first play with this sampling powerhouse. All the sounds on this video are purely from the Digitakt II, no additional processing or external sound sources were used.

The Digitakt has gained almost cult like following since its release in 2017. Beat makers across the spectrum of electronic dance music have loved how immediate the original Digitakt was at sampling and performing especially with that legendary parameter locking Elektron sequencer, all in a neat little package. The original Digitakt truly fulfilled its potential to the max.

Elektron have listened and designed the new Digitakt II in a familiar shape, with all the same recognizable playfulness, but now offering so much more than before. Original Digitakt users will salivate over the new Digitakt II features with more machines, more LFOs, more filters, more effects, more everything! The new features on the Digitakt II makes it more of a groovebox; a potent addition to your studio and for performing live with.

Here's what Elektron are saying:
Send yourself to another sampling dimension. With Digitakt II, you can weave splinters of sound in stereo, ripped from the moment and brought to your fingertips for marvelous audio manipulation and beat arraying. Preserve or distort reality as you so desire with 16 tracks ready for stereo or mono samples, or MIDI. Choose from several swappable filters for each track and utilize a wide assortment of effects and modulation, pull on enhanced processing power, and enough memory for a lifetime of samples. Further tasty features like a Euclidean sequence generator, an extended 128 step sequencer, kits, trig modes, an extensive sample library, and a modular workflow to play with ensure your sonic-montage sculpting potential will know no beat-making bounds."

Dannysound / Tobinski System Test


video upload by Dannysound

"Testing the system for Superbooth 24 - The new modules also feature a name change as the brand is slowly moving over to Tobinski.
New modules due to be released this year are:

Sequencer - 2 banks of 8 voltage sliders, each bank referenced by 2 independent 8 step sequencers for a total 4 sequencers. Each sequencer features start and end loop points plus external clock inputs. The sequencer has 8 voltage outputs, 6 gate outputs plus transport controls for the internal clock.

Sequencer Expander - Adds a host of extra functions to control each of the 4 sequencers. Including CV over loop start and end points, gate length, step order and many more...

Dual LFOs - 2 LFOs with 16 waveform types. One LFO can be synced to a clock while the other resets to an incoming pulse, plus cv and cross-modulation options for all parameters.

Harmonic Timing Generator - Can be used as a Harmonic Oscillator or Harmonic LFO that can clock each the 4 sequencers in the Sequencer module. The module features multiplier inputs x2, x3, x5 and x7 to multiply the internal oscillator or external sources. It also has 3 outputs for the multiplied waveforms that can be CV or manually addressed using the pushbutton switches or pots.

Interpolating Scanner - Internally connected to the Harmonic Timing Generator and features not only an 8 input scanner with CV options but also has 8 VCAs that act separately from the scanner with their own outputs, plus mixer outputs for ODD, ALL and EVEN for both the scanner and VCAs to allow for stereo effects among other possibilities.

Dual LPG/VCA - 2 x LPG/VCAs in one 6hp module that combine the Dannysound MM VCA based on the classic Mini Moog VCA and also the classic Buchla LPG design (used throughout this clip!) so famous for it's acoustic tone.

Come say hello at Superbooth, I'll be in the Bungalow Dorf with some other great manufacturers!"

"Sequencer synced to malekko varigate 8 doing the drums and resetting the bass line coming from sequencer CH1. Voltage block is controlling the step order of sequencer CH3 that does the percussion sounds.
Percussion and bass sounds from the EN129 and Cali oscillators using Timbre and Dual LPG/VCA modules. Drum compression using the Dynamics with some added noise to glue the drums together a bit."

"This is my tribute to the music of Philipp Glass - an experiment in sequencing and repeating... ;-)

It was done in 2 layers, so i could overdub the sequence with a grand piano which comes from Yamaha reface CP."

Early 80's TAMA DS200 Analog Drum Machine Synthesizer SN 200686

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this listing

"Very rare/ Uncommon early-80s drum synth capable of some wild sounds from full-bodied electronic throbs to wild space-age squeaks and bleeps.

Made famous by Joy Division on their Unknown Pleasures album by producer Martin Hannett who used it as part of the wild industrial sound on the album. New Order also made use of these unusual machines.

Features two analogue oscillators with sensitivity, sweep range, sweep time, decay time, volume controls and a pickup input for each oscillator.

The envelope depends on the input source like an envelope follower.

Great for booming kicks and toms, all the way to sweeping laser blasts.

Sounds can be triggered by microphone/pickup or synth gate/trigger.

Synth can be turned on via foot switch."

Modular Synthesis 101: Introduction


video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Today I give you an introductory series of videos covering Modular Synthesis 101. This course is for anyone who's been mildly curious about modular synthesizers. Maybe you've seen your favorite musician like Johnny Greenwood using a modular synthesizer at a show. And always wondered what does all this stuff do? I'm here to demystify it for you. Today we'll start with some basic terminology and a typical synth patch. What is a typical synthesis setup? What are the kinds of modules in that setup? What will we learn moving forward?"
