Chilled Future Garage with Dirtywave M8

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"Chilled Future Garage on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

Samples only, no internal synths used. The samples are from various sample packs I've already got, and I also found some more samples on Loopcloud. Vocals are from Loopcloud as well.

I really like the vibe of this track. 💙

Must Have Accessories For Your Hardware Tracker

video upload by EZBOT

"The Dirtywave M8 tracker is a nearly flawless device, but that doesn't mean the user experience couldn't be improved. Electronics create noise, MIDI adapters use multiple dongle types, and controlling the M8 Tracker could be a bit more performative. In this video, I will share solutions to these problems."

"I'm an ex guitarist and wanted to make some lead guitar sounds using the m8's synth engine, This ones using macrosynth wavemap (think that was it).

If you have a M8 check the Avrilcadabra presets for
R0b0cleanr - lead guitar (or look for R0b0leader, rougher version)
Bass Sunset - Macrsynth FM
Rave chd FM - FM synth

They are also available on Impbox's Matey website for sharing M8 presets.

"Phantasmal Force available here:

Generative journeys. A single row on the M8 produces all the action needed to take us on an adventure. Backing chords and pizzicato strings are provided by the little MT32-pi.

The Phantasmal Force mutes specific tracks on the M8."

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Dirtywave - M8 MKII Tracker

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met Timothy at the Dirtywave stand who showed us the new model of the M8 tracker. After suggestions from users the portable hand-held music device has been updated with a bigger battery, a bigger display, with USB C stereo audio in and out, TRS MIDI in and out, and side by side with the original M8, it looks like a great improvement.

The new M8 is backwards-compatible with the old firmware, which means the updates for model 2 will be applied to model 1. A ton of new features have been added, including the addition of 4 freely assignable modulation slots, and a new swarm synth *Hyper Synth*, with 13 oscillators that allow you to do chords. Built in chorus, delay and reverb is the final dusting of sonic joy on top.

M8 MKII Price: 650 USD"

Uptempo jam with Midicake ARP, Dreadbox Nymphes, Moog Minitaur, Mother 32, MSW-810, DrumBrute Impact

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I've had this chord progression kicking around for a little while, the product of a voice-leading exercise I was doing. I was super happy with it but never able to incorporate it into a larger arrangement. Recently, I realized I could just run the chord progression through the Midicake ARP and get some inspiration on the song arrangement, and sure enough, that was all it took (along with a few amazing synthesizers and effects). Really happy with where this one ended up.

Full disclosure: I cut and paste a previous drum fill to the outro drum fill, because I felt the outro drum fill didn't match the quality of the earlier one. Seemed a more judicious approach than recording the whole thing again.

Thanks for listening.

Dirtywave M8 - chord progression sequence
Midicake ARP - four-part sequencing arranger for the chord progression
Kenton MIDI Thru - MIDI Thru out to five devices
DrumBrute Impact through Empress EchoSystem - Drums
Moog Mother 32 through Kinotone Ribbons - Slower mono synth
Michigan Synth Works MSW-810 through Hologram Chroma Console - Faster mono synth
Moog Minitaur through Boss DM-101 - Bass synth
Dreadbox Nymphes through Empress Reverb - Pad synth

Performed and recorded live (minus that small drum edit) to a multitrack recording, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Simple rhythmic variations w/ Hologram Microcosm, Dirtywave M8, MT-32 pi, TX-6 & RK-006

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Generative patterns from the M8 are producing the rhythms and bass. M8 is also sending random chord information to the MT32 pi. The MT32 is playing back an E piano soundfont that is sent through the microcosm.

The microcosm is kind of like my therapy right now. I can feed it generative random stuff and play with the knobs and occasionally make some really magical sounds."

Therapsid mk3 (multitimbral sequencing)

video upload by

"Hi this a track I converted to sequence the Therapsid.

Disclaimer this Therapsid was sent to me by Twisted Electrons and I spent so long working with them to get the firmware all working nicely so it worked as expected from someone that uses c64's as well as synths, I'm going to mark it as a paid promotion anyway though.

The track is called 'There's still time' , I originally made it on a Digitakt using samples. Here it is being sequenced by a Dirtywave M8.

I have quite a few clips of the Therapsid on my instagram if you would like to see them as the firmware progressed to where it is today.

Osmose Expressive E, Dirtywave M8, and Numa X GT, Live at the Lakely

video upload by John C.S. Keston

"This is the last in a series of live audiovisual collaborations with Chris LeBlanc and Shawna Lee. The performance was captured at at the Lakely in the Oxbow Hotel, Eau Claire, Wisconsin (https://www.theoxbowhotel.com/lakely/) on September 30, 2023.

Chris LeBlanc and Shawna Lee produced live visuals using their integrated, modular video synthesis systems as I performed. This piece titled, Dark at the End of the Tunnel, is an electro-acoustic piano composition. In this adaptation I used a a stage piano, but the processing and accompaniment are as they would be if the piece were performed on an acoustic instrument.

Please take a look at Chris’ (@blindprophet) and Shawna’s (@iamadot) Instagram feeds to see more of their work.

Chris and Shawna produced live visuals using their integrated, modular video synthesis systems as I performed. This as yet untitled piece is driven by morphing drums and sequences on the Dirtywave M8 tracker. I also live looped a Rhodes pattern on the Numa X Piano GT. The formant-filtered-voice-like-lead was played on the Osmose Expressive E.

I’m thrilled with the analog visuals that Chris and Shawna produced. The image above shows Shawna’s (left) and Chris’ (right) video systems. Please take a look at their Instagram feeds to see more of their work:

M8 RMX Flex and MetroGradeGoods skin

Not affiliated or sponsored with / by metro

I have wanted the ability the have coloured m8's for years had reached to companies but was never able to make it work so happy to recommend metro who just did it on their own. minimum you need is the acrylic plate, the screws available on the site are slightly longer than the screws the m8 comes with but you can reuse the stock screws. Then you need the print bit which is laser cut and quite delicate.

The dyed caps seems to be the most expensive option, don't tighten the screws much as you don't want to crack the acrylic.
