Your Modular Synthesizer's Best Friend Is The Digitakt II

video upload by EZBOT

"I can't imagine using my modular without having a sampler present to capture the unique and one-time sounds you get from your modular synthesizer. My go-to sampler for everything is the Digitakt II, if not that, than the Octatrack or M8 Tracker. Today we will dive into the workflow of writing music and sampling a eurorack system built around 2 voices with lots of effects."

The M8 Tracker Is Absolutely Unstoppable

video upload by EZBOT

"The M8 Tracker is my all-time favorite portable groovebox. I've used it in several commercial productions and plan to use it for many more that are already in the pipeline. Why do I love it? Its workflow lets me program music in a linear song format—without the scope creep and clicky mania that comes with working in a DAW. For anyone who wants to write a song without being tied to a computer, there's no instrument I recommend more than the M8 Tracker by Dirtywave. Today we explore some new BETA features that really do up the power this tiny box has to offer."

Digitone II Easy Guide: Polymetric & Odd-Time Compositions

video upload by EZBOT

"Today I decided to push my limits—and my gear—by diving into the Digitone 2's arrange mode using the challenging yet inspiring time signature of 7/8. Honestly, it felt like a creative stress test, pushing the workflow to the edge to see what hidden gems might emerge. Will the complexity of odd rhythms, short patterns, and the arranger spark fresh ideas, or just lead to musical chaos? Either way, I'm excited to explore the possibilities!"

A Less Conventional Approach To The Synthstrom Deluge

Teach Them To Rumble And They Will Destroy Speakers Forever

video upload by EZBOT

"Both of these machines are amazing. The Syntakt is the "jack of all trades" synthesizer, offering analog synthesis, drums, and digital voices like the "chord" machine. The Digitakt II is the newest sampler from Elektron. It offers 16 tracks of stereo sampling, 400 MB of RAM, and a 20 GB SSD. Not to mention, you can load hundreds of samples in a single project. This sampler is an absolute beast. There is so much more to it, too. Today we use these boxes and make what I playfully refer to as Rumble Techno or Warehouse Techno. The session was a blast—maybe you'll learn something new about your Elektron box. Who knows?"

Chords, Arps, and Drums From One Synth In Real-Time Is Amazing

video upload by EZBOT

"Few synthesizers on the market can match the feature set of the Digitone II. It offers an arpeggiator, various scales, multiple synthesis engines, and editable lush reverb and delay effects. With 16 voices and a drum synthesis engine, you can create endless tracks for studio sessions or live performances using this single synth. Today, we'll harness all that the Digitone II has to offer, starting from scratch with a focus on chords and modulation.

Mixing House and EDM Together With the Digitakt II and Syntakt

video upload by EZBOT

"I am fascinated by trying new ideas and breaking the rules to suit my musical needs. I used this video/audio for a project with Patreon inc, which is why there is less hands on with modulation. I had to record the video several times, and eventually i just stuck to getting to the end of the song.

This song is called "Shardonay." I wrote it mostly on the Digitakt I and later adapted it to the Digitakt II. It began with a sample from my guitar running through a Gamechanger Audio pedal. The track develops into EDM later on, with the Syntakt showcasing its colors. This was performed using the Performance Mixer 3.0, a template for the Octatrack mk1/mk2 that you can find via the links below.

Lyrics:
stay up
I've got to stay up to sleep
If you've got nothing
nothing goes to waste
stay up

Digitone II Is Here, Let's Discuss...

video upload by EZBOT

"On the table today we have the Digitone II, Digitakt II, and the Elektron Octatrack MK2. The Digitone just recently started getting into people hands, people like myself.

Today, we reverse that and bring back the Digitone II into the production and live performance rig. Let's discuss it's workflow, new sound engines, and where it sits in your live ecosystem.

Reinventing The Elektron Octatrack As A Punch-In Effects Player

video upload by EZBOT

"This is worth the effort to learn. The Hyper FX performance template for the Elektron Octatrack is all about "punch in effects." Use the punch in effects to create new rhythms from your existing patterns. The effects are glitchy, lo-fi, and full of grit. I originally designed this template for drum and bass, but it works great for all genres and tempos. The idea is that you play the effects yourself, like another instrument. There are combos and synergy, and with practice, you can master the move sets. No matter what kind of music you are making, this will transform your project.
