video upload by EZBOT

"Polymetric Sequencing are a great way to come up with unique ideas and patterns that would be either extremely difficult to perform manually. Layering Polymetric Sequences makes for something very special and can often create fantastic ambient spaces. Today, we dive into this concept on the Elektron Tonverk, but it can be done on most sequencers."

"Ableton Push 3 came out in 2023, and it's been a long road of updates, bug fixes, and user experience improvements. Today, we revisit the Push 3 with Phemto, an Ableton artist and software developer who has gone off the deep end with the device. Phemto takes me on a crash course through his performance setup and workflow, while sharing why he believes the Push 3 is one of the best standalone machines you can buy in 2026."

Modular Dub Techno Sounds AMAZING

video upload by EZBOT

"There is something about Dub Techno that I just can't get enough of. Maybe it's the echoing chords and atmospheres, or maybe it's the clean simplicity of the drum programming. Whatever it is modular synthesizers seem to do it the best. The advantage of modular is the fact that we can have so many AAA effects and voices in a single compact case. Today I show you what that can sound like and discuss why it works in this particular 7U 104hp arrangement. Let's make some tunes! Today's featured module is the XAOC Odessa, an additive oscillator with great hands on control."

A New Favorite Reverb and Delay Eurorack Module: Cosmic Debris

video upload by EZBOT

"The Cosmic Debris is a playable Delay and Reverb module by WMD. Today we check test it on chords and ARP's to see how it performs with melodies. Delay is what reverb is before it becomes reverb. One of the great things about Cosmic Debris is that it can be either and you can fade between the two ideas in real-time."

Which Elektron Sampler Should You Get? Let's Talk About The Digitakt II, Octatrack, and Tonverk

video upload by EZBOT

"What is the difference between the Digitakt II, Octatrack MK2, and the Tonverk? While all Elektron samplers offer similar workflows, they each lean into different musical concepts. We will also discuss the learning curve of each and why you might choose one over the others. There are technically four samplers available from Elektron, but for this comparison, we will omit the Analog Rytm since it functions more as a synthesizer than a sampler. If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the live chat!"
