This Analog Synth Is Cheating - Redshift 6 + Digitakt 2 Jam


video upload by Sineway

"This is the first proper track I've made with the Redshift 6 and Digitakt II combo.

The 3-note chord stab you hear at the start is using a single analog voice. The Redshift 6 can distribute the up to 16 oscillators inside a voice across several notes, so one voice plays the whole chord. The arp is another single voice. Then the lead takes the remaining four with unison stacking, around 16 oscillators in total, and I'm performing it with both the built-in macros and the Launch Control XL 3.

The Redshift 6 is six-part multitimbral, with three separate outputs. The main outs play the lead, run through the synth's internal delay, but Aux 1 and Aux 2 are always bypassing the digital FX section - which felt like an invitation to put both Hologram pedals to real work. The arp goes into the Chroma Console, and it completely transforms what was a fairly plain pluck sound I dialed in seconds. The chords go into the Microcosm to make them bigger.

Everything else melodic was sampled from the Redshift 6 into the Digitakt II, which is doing all the sequencing and drums.

No Overbridge this time. Just four stems into my Zoom LiveTrak L6max: the DT2, plus the Redshift's main outs, Aux 1 and Aux 2. Some sidechain ducking, glue compression and EQ in Ableton, and that's about it. Mostly raw hardware.

I originally sketched this in the camper van with just the DT2, and went through three or four lead melodies I wasn't happy with before landing on this one. All those attempts are still in the project file if you want to see the messy version.

There's no official patch export on the Redshift 6 yet, but Supercritical tells me it's coming and I'll upload the patch as soon as it does. The Digitakt II project is on my Patreon in the meantime."

APHEX TWIN - #8 (COVER - Prophet REV2, Elektron Syntakt & OP-1field)


video upload by nicola neeco

"I made a cover of #8, also known as 'Blur,' by Aphex Twin, from the iconic album Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Warp Records 1994)

One of the darkest and most hypnotic tracks on the album, Blur has a unique atmosphere that I tried to reinterpret using a small setup of 3 hardware instruments.

I recorded the entire performance in a single take, using:
• Sequential Prophet Rev2 for the main synth parts (with Valhalla Vintageverb reverb)
• Elektron Syntakt for the drums and rhythmic elements (no samples)
• Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field for the string sound

A special thanks to my friend Lorri for lending me his OP-1 Field for this performance.

Evolving Ambient Loops | Elektron Digitone + Analog Four + El Capistan


video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"An evolving ambient session created with the Elektron Digitone, Analog Four, and Strymon El Capistan.

I used the Analog Four for the bass and a simple rhythm, while layering the Digitone’s sounds on top. By setting different probability values for the notes, random phrases naturally intertwine and create a constantly evolving loop.

The subtle changes keep the music moving, while still maintaining a calm and spacious atmosphere.

A simple hardware setup, but endless possibilities. ✨

The Drum Machine That Was Too Big to Handle | Oberheim Stretch DX


video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"There's a drum machine from 1983 that was intended to sound like a real drum similar to the Linndum — rolls, flams, off-the-beat feel. But the real story is bolted to its side, and most people have never seen one.

The Oberheim Stretch DX is the machine almost nobody talks about — the expansion that turned a 6-voice box into something else entirely. Here's how it happened, and what it can still do.

⏱️ CHAPTERS
00:00 — The drum machine that didn't want to be a machine
00:38 — Oberheim DMX: the little brother that came first
01:20 — 18 sounds, EPROM cards & the idea that predicted sample packs
02:00 — Inside the DX: sequences, quantize & the swing mode
02:40 — Rear-panel tuning & individual outputs (why 6 voices matters)
03:10 — The Stretch DX: the bolt-on nobody expected
03:40 — Installing a Stretch: soldering irons & ribbon cables
04:00 — Why the DX & Stretch DX faded — and what they left behind
04:20 — Let's make some beats

Building a Minimal Performance System with OXI E16


video upload by OXI Instruments

"In this video we break down a small but deep performance setup built around the OXI E16 and the Elektron Tonverk — the core idea being that constraint creates focus. Instead of chasing more gear or more parameters, we map a handful of controls to a handful of sounds and build a pattern out of very few elements, performed live rather than programmed in advance.

What's covered:
The concept behind designing "small systems" — fewer knobs, fewer sounds, more intentional movement.
Mapping the E16 to control drums and a few additional sound sources on the Tonverk.
Routing and shaping send effects live, as part of the performance rather than as a mix afterthought.
A randomize trick: smashing everything into chaos on the fly, then snapping back instantly to a saved, safe starting point — so we can take risks without losing the pattern.
This is less a tutorial and more a way of thinking about performance setups: constrain first, then explore inside the constraint.

TONVERKxSOLAR 42N // MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY


video upload by Catenation

"A live synthesizer industrial jam performed entirely on the Elta Music Solar 42N and the Elektron Tonverk. Percussion Samples from Finland Rust (Subtracks), other samples from Voltage Chaos. Tonverk is sending out a pulse to sync the Solar 42, while receiving the two channels of the Solar 42N to add effects and stereofy them.

matrix note: it's intersting how the wrenches impact the perception of the piece. Nice touch, imo.

Behind the Music: Chang Rodrigues' Home Studio (Electronic Beats TV)


video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this episode of Electronic Beats TV, we visited Brazilian-born, Berlin-based artist Chang Rodrigues in her home studio.
With a background in music and a deep curiosity for synthesis and sound design, she has developed a unique approach that blends club-oriented electronic music with experimentation and sonic exploration.
Inside her studio, mainly analog instruments, modular gear, and drum machines take centre stage, while the computer and Ableton are used mainly for recording. Chang explains why the Elektron Digitakt has become the heart of her workflow, how she combines MIDI and CV to connect her instruments, and why modular synthesis continues to fascinate her with its almost endless creative possibilities.
Beyond the gear, we also talk about creativity, trusting your ears, embracing happy accidents, and why she sees sound as a living organism—something that constantly evolves through interaction rather than remaining fixed."
