Tiny Systems Can Have Massively Huge Sounds

video upload by EZBOT

"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.

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."

Jungle Influenced IDM w/ Digitakt 2, Octatrack, Digitone, & GS Music e7

video upload by goth jocks

"A jungle/drum and bass inflected IDM jam using the Elektron Digitakt 2, the Digitone (OG), and the GS Music e7 on the lead. All running into the Octatrack for performance FX

First attempt at using the Octatrack as a performance mixer (or anything at all really), so it’s a little choppy. I bought this Octatrack back in October and it’s mostly sat on the shelf since. Even though I’m pretty well versed in a variety of Elektron machines, the Octatrack remains inscrutable. I finally loaded some performance mixer templates by ​⁠​⁠‪@EZBOT_‬ into it and got cookin. Eventually I’ll explore them more in depth and make modifications, use the live looper, etc… Baby steps!

Also, this jam actually started from a different jam. This one! [below]

One of my fav things to do on the DT2 is copy/paste older projects and turn them into something new"

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."

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. I love Elektron music machines and was a huge fan of my Digitone, but ultimately took it away and replaced it with the Syntakt. 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.

Never Get Tired Of These Kinds Of Patterns

video upload by EZBOT

"Today we're going to make some Dub Techno from nothing, to a fully playable track. Dub Techno has a simple formula that's very satisfying to perfect. Modulated bandpass filtered chord stabs, deep delays and long reverbs, it's a trance inducing experience. We'll be using the Digitakt II, Elektron Octatrack, Syntakt, and the King KORG Neo as our polysynth (along with the analog heat + FX). So sit back and enjoy the repetitive, minimal, and blissful experience that is Dub."

Everything Sounds Better Once It's Inside The Digitakt II

video upload by EZBOT

"Making a song from scratch is always an adventure. The instruments you choose to sequence or sample determine the narrative for your track. I chose to use the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field and the Hologram Microcosm to guide me into what was later referred to as the "space jungle." This track falls into the jungle-IDM genre. Check it out, and you might find some cool examples of techniques to try in your next tune.
