Song #3 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

I start with the Prismatic Spray MKii searching around for something showing some fireworks on a new visualization I've been working on...

Then I use the Phantasmal Force to start a sequence on the M8 (which is also MIDI clocked by the PF). I use the PF to unmute various tracks on the M8.

The M8 is also send CC messages to the Prismatic Spray to slowly modulate parameters A, B & C.

It starts in A# - and then moves up a half step to B. The meter gets an extra beat som now we are in 5/4.

Again ...
My guiding principle was - start at A# in 4/4. For each following song, add a beat and move up a half-step chromatically."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #2

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here:
www.distropolisgoods.com

A version of song #2 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The Phantasmal Force is sending MIDI clock to the RK-006, which syncs everything.

It starts with GREAT CONJUNCTION playing the motif from the end of song #1, and then I bring in two more sequences (all of which are playing the internal YM2413 FM synth).

The M8 provides some basic percussion, and a bass drone.

The PF is also sending CC LFO messages to GREAT CONJUNCTION to modulate some of the FM parameters for the first sequence.

The Prismatic Spray MKii protoype held together for the show. I use the second half of the song to explore a bytebeat algorithm in stereo.

This song continues the same meter, root and scale as song #1 ... it is basically song 1A.

My guiding principle was - start at A# in 4/4. For each following song, add a beat and move up a half-step chromatically."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #1

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here:
www.distropolisgoods.com

A version of song #1 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The Phantasmal Force is sending MIDI clock to the RK-006, which syncs everything. The PF is also sending 6 different sequences to the MT32-PI which is running a soundfont playing back different instrument sounds on different MIDI channels. The PF is also sending CC LFO messages to the MT32 to slowly pan the voices around.

The M8 is holding down some generative percussion and bass.

The GC comes in at the end, bringing in the motif from song #2.

My guiding principle was - start at A# in 4/4 time for song #1. For each following song, add a beat and move up a half-step chromatically."

Wave (Oberheim TEO-5 + Dirtywave M8 Tracker)

video upload by The Way Up

"This super lush track means many things to me, but one thing it definitely isn't not is a soundtrack to an imaginary scene at the end of an 80s movie about a grizzled, tired cop (Tom), who after years chasing his nemesis, the charming criminal, Dan. After fate brings them together as unwitting partners and against all odds, friends, they manage to defeat a cartel who would threaten the entire city. After narrowly prevailing, our heroes end on a beach. As they breath sighs of relief and feel the warm sun on their skin, a realization dawns on them—their natural partnership is at an end. Dan smiles at Tom, and though just 48 hours earlier, Tom would have gladly cuffed him, and they exchange a knowing look of respect and slowly walk away, knowing they'll never see each other again.

Most of the synth parts on this were the TEO-5, with a few parts from the M8's internal engines, plus some nice classic drum machine samples."

End (Dirtywave M8 Tracker + TEO-5)

video upload by The Way Up

"Managed to snag a TEO-5 just in the nick of time before tariffs hit and it jumped in price. I've been eyeing it for a while - I love that lush Oberheim sound, and it's amazing for synthwave, ambient, and dark wave sounds. All synths here were from the TEO-5, sampled and edited a bit on the M8. Threw a bit of ozone on at the end."

The M8 Tracker Is Absolutely Unstoppable

video upload by EZBOT

"The M8 Tracker is my all-time favorite portable groovebox. I've used it in several commercial productions and plan to use it for many more that are already in the pipeline. Why do I love it? Its workflow lets me program music in a linear song format—without the scope creep and clicky mania that comes with working in a DAW. For anyone who wants to write a song without being tied to a computer, there's no instrument I recommend more than the M8 Tracker by Dirtywave. Today we explore some new BETA features that really do up the power this tiny box has to offer."

Rhodonea II

video upload by John C.S. Keston

"This video is a new interpretation of Rhodonea (Rhodonea II) that I performed for SEAMUS (the Society for Electroacoustic Music in the US) at Purdue University on Saturday, March 22, 2025.

The animated, generative, graphic score developed with Processing.org sends corresponding MIDI data to an electronic, hardware instrument called the Dirtywave M8 #dirtywavem8 #dirtywave (https://dirtywave.com/). A previous interpretation of the piece ( • Rhodonea: Radical Futures Performance... [posted here] ) used Ableton Live 12 synths including Meld.

The piece serves as a model of how we might collaborate with near future synthetic entities. Software feeds automated, algorithmic, projected visual cues, tempi, and low frequency oscillations to improvising electronic musicians. The visuals, based on Maurer Roses, suggest melodic, harmonic, and percussive gestures that are modulated by data streaming from the generative animations. Throughout the piece the artist adapts to the familiar yet unpredictable graphic scores and corresponding signals.

Note: please watch in full screen and listen on headphones or high fidelity stereo speakers. More details about this video are available at https://audiocookbook.org/video-rhodo...

"If you happen to be west of Tokyo in Chofu, around 9ish on April 14th, 2025 … you might hear something similar to this bubbling up near Shibasaki Station.

I hope I can work out all the details in the next few weeks!"

"Hi new track, old M8's

Thought I'd give my model 01's some love. I do love how much customization the model 01 has. M8 Firmware 5.0 just released this week so I thought It a good oppurtinity to show the real time limiter graphics on a second M8."

Is The M8 Tracker Good For Programming Dub Techno?

"In today's episode we take the Dirtywave M8 Tracker to the land of deep delays, washed out chords, and noise soundscapes. I want to see how quickly and how intuitively this device can make and perform Dub Techno.

Investing In Your DAWLESS Workflow PAYS OFF

video upload by EZBOT

"I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the perfect workflow.. does it even exist? Today we are going to discuss workflow, technique for sampling, effects processing, and trying to stick to our intuition. On the table we have a Digitakt II, M8 Tracker, Synthstrom Deluge, Melbourne Delia, and the Headrush Core for vocals and guitar."
