Fractures: IDM Drums - Elektron Digitakt 2 Sound Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by A Force Truly Evil

"Available here: https://sci-fiaudio.com/?product=frac...

INTRICATE IDM DRUMS INSPIRED BY AUTECHRE, APHEX TWIN, AND SQUAREPUSHER

Synth sounds in this video are from Elektron Digitone 2 sound pack “Drones & Depths”.

A focused collection of 82 experimental drum loops crafted specifically for Digitakt II and its new Grid/Slice workflow.
All loops are 4 bars and perfectly mapped to 64 steps, ensuring flawless alignment, smooth transitions, accurate morphing, and full cross-compatibility between every loop.

Each loop is precisely warped/quantized so the Grid mode slices kicks, snares, hats, percussion and glitches with perfect accuracy — ready for resequencing, rearranging, or deep rhythmic mutation.

With a single press of Create Random Locks, you can generate infinite variations from any loop, unlocking new ideas instantly with one button.

The rhythmic approach follows the style of Aphex Twin and Squarepusher: complex beats built on a single track, suitable for IDM, glitch, experimental electronica, and experimental drum & bass.

Includes a ready-to-use project with effects, modulations, and macro controls for expressive performance.
All samples are provided in 16-bit / 48 kHz stereo WAV, usable in any DAW but optimized for perfect behavior inside Digitakt II.

A precision-built rhythmic toolkit for avant garde, expressive, and unpredictable drums."

USB Power Everything, without the noise! - How we made the Silent Alchemist for synths and pedals.

video upload by myVolts

"Luke Brennan, MD at myVolts shares his journey, bringing USB power to the world of powered instruments.

With a background in proving power adapters, myVolts have developed a range of solutions so you can power your synths, pedals, AV gear and more with USB. Not only that, but they have created solutions that allow you to do that without the buzz and humm usually associated with USB power.

In this video, he talks of how Ripcord and Step Up, USB-A and USB-C solutions can power your gear. When used with the myVolts mickXer, or with the Silent Alchemist, they can remove ground loops from your setup and make power simple, quiet and easy to manage.

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."

Digitone 2 Macros: 7 Reasons You Should Use Them

video upload by Sineway

Also see Digitone 2 controlled by Launch Control XL 3 - Full one-take performance

"Are Digitone 2 macros the most underrated feature in the Elektron world?

In this video, I show how you can use the mod wheel macro to create *smooth, relative control* over multiple parameters. The best part? These macros stay consistent across pattern changes, meaning your fader always reflects the actual sound, even across pattern switches.

In this tutorial, I'm using the Launch Control XL 3 (thank you Novation for sending it over!) to map a single fader to several parameters at once - no value jumping, no mess, just clean transitions and full performance control. You can use just about any other midi controller for this to work.

And yes, I know macros aren’t new. Digitone, Syntakt, Digitakt 2 - they all have them too. But let’s be honest - it’s probably the most buried and menu-divey feature there is and most of us either ignored them, forgot they existed, or assumed they’d break everything mid-jam.

Turns out: they’re absolutely brilliant! It’s the first time I’ve added more cables to my setup and felt zero regret.

⏱️ Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
00:26 - How the macros work
01:21 - Benefit 1: Guardrailing your performance
01:55 - Useful shortcut
02:10 - Benefit 2: Seamless sounds across live sets
04:36 - Benefit 3: Better mixes
06:06 - Benefit 4: Easy mode
07:48 - Benefit 5: No more sudden midi cc jumps
09:38 - Benefit 6: More creativity
11:03 - Benefit 7: No more ruined projects
12:09 - Next video: My live performance setup (midi, tracks, faders)

🛠️ Gear used:
Elektron Digitone 2 (OG Digitone, Digitakt 2 and Syntakt all work too)
Novation Launch Control XL 3 (any midi controller with faders or knobs will do)
MIDI cable (just one!)"

Wait for it.

"In this video, I explore the pure joy of adding a compact analog synthesizer to a modern Elektron setup. Pairing the Digitakt II and Digitone II with the Sequential Take 5 desktop unlocks a whole new level of warmth, depth, and character. I’ll show you how this small but powerful analog poly integrates seamlessly with your grooveboxes, bringing lush pads, punchy basslines, and expressive leads into your workflow without sacrificing portability.
