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."

Generative Melodies Just Got Easier

video upload by EZBOT

"Here's an interesting approach to using the built-in Euclidean sequencer in the Digitakt, Digitone, Syntakt, or Analog Rytm. This method gives you the freedom to generate melodies in scale, polyphonically, on all machines while still maintaining a sense of control. It's a ton of fun and the results are always useful for getting a track started."

Tiny Systems Can Have Massively Huge Sounds

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.

The Joy of Adding A Compact Analog Synthesizer To Your Setup

video upload by EZBOT

"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. If you’ve been wondering whether an analog synth can really elevate your hybrid setup, this video will show you exactly why it’s worth it."

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.

The Digitakt II FInally Has REAL Slicing | OS Update 1.15

video upload by EZBOT

"With the release of OS Update 1.15, Digitakt II has been enhanced with an all-new SLICE MACHINE. This new update allows you to slice samples in the same manner as an Octatrack or an MPC. Meaning you are no longer stuck on the grid, you can freely place up to 64 slice points on any sample. This update completely changes how you can approach this machine, and it's an important one for Digitakt users. Slicing was never this easy, and I am totally stoked."
