Which Elektron Sampler Should You Get?

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!"

Performance Mixer: The Melodic and Drum Bus Explained

video upload by EZBOT

"The Melodic Bus and Drum Bus Performance Mixer concepts are built to make live sets feel effortless: faster routing, tighter control, and more expressive movement with fewer steps. They’re designed around practical performance decisions, so you can shape tone, space, and energy in real time without breaking flow, while still leaving plenty of room for your own style and surprises. In today's stream I will teach how to build this out on the Elektron Octatrack MK2. This is a deep dive tutorial.

Octatrack Hybrid 4X4 Performance Mixer by EZBOT

video upload by EZBOT

"This new template for the Octatrack Mk1/Mk2 includes classic techno effects and many experimental effects inspired by the Hyper FX template and Performance Mixer 3.0, though none of the effects are quite the same. The superpower of this template is the 4X4, which has multiple meanings. 64 performance effects in total and 4 tracks for audio processing. A total powerhouse!

First, four Free Flex Tracks are preassigned and ready for sampling. They are prepared on all parts across all banks and patterns. The flex tracks can and should be routed through the Hybrid 4X4 template's effects via the CUE output and back into the Octatrack inputs.

Second, the effects are set up in four blocks of four effect types. These effect types are consistent across all PARTS. The PARTS are named EARTH, AIR, FIRE, and WATER.

The Tiny Modular Synth That Stole The Show

video upload by EZBOT

"Building a modular system is a tedious and often expensive experience. Just when you think you’ve collected all the modules you dreamed of, you find yourself swapping them out for the next new thing. But every once in a while, you land on an idea that sticks—one that feels so good you might even leave it patched for a very long time. That’s exactly what happened with this small modular case, which I paired with the Digitakt II, Digitone II, and the Elektron Octatrack. The purpose of the case was to give me a sound palette larger than life—something I could play with my hands, not just with voltage or MIDI."

Tiny Systems Can Have Massively Huge Sounds

"In today's episode we use a very small eurorack system to create enormous pads, washes, and dub chords to be used in a live set. We will discuss effect routing, module selection, and sampling these sounds into our favorite sampler, the Digitakt II.

It All Started With An Acoustic Bass Emulation

video upload by EZBOT

"There is something about having both the Digitone II and the Digitakt II together on the tables. Both can do so much but together they can pretty much do anything. The Digitone II is perfect for anything melodic related, chords, basses (even acoustic basses), leads, and percussion too of course. The Digitakt II is the chameleon, it can be anything and do most anything. The power of this sampler is astounding and the workflow is near perfect. In today's episode we make some down-tempo house and show off just how chill these two machines can work together. LED MIDI cables from my shop: https://www.modbang.com/modbang-shop/...

This Is A Great Mono Synth To Pair With Your Sampler

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's episode we are pairing the Novation Bass Station II with the Elektron Digigatk II and Digitone II. One for sampling it and one for sequencing it. The Novation Bass Station is one of the simplest and most satisfying mono synths I've used, I highly recommend it as a first synth, no doubt.

Probability Saved This Song

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, I reflect on a powerful tool I neglected for far too long—probability. It’s the secret ingredient that could’ve made so many of my earlier tracks feel more alive, less robotic, and infinitely more dynamic. Whether you're using Elektron gear or any sequencer with probability features, this is your invitation to rethink how you build patterns. I’ll show you how adding just a touch of randomness can transform a stale loop into something that evolves, surprises, and inspires every time you press play. Don’t make the same mistake I did—lean into it.
