Broken Reverb is Better Reverb (free IRs and samples)

There's an aesthetic trend in modern effects, especially in ambience effects like reverb and delay, which points towards embracing and accentuating digital imperfection.

It turns out that the glitching, aliasing, distortion and noise that engineers traditionally worked so hard to dial out of gear actually sounds pretty amazing when used creatively and intentionally.

Many FX companies have really embraced this way of working, adding controls to their effects which allow musicians to digitally degrade the sound in wonderful ways - intentionally circuit bending their instruments by design.

Another way, though, to achieve these sounds might be to buy an old, cheap reverb from ebay and circuit bend it. This electronic abuse, forces the unit into leaning into these artifacts whether it wants to or not! The results may be more chaotic, but they might also be even more fun and potentially more affordable.

Oberheim DX Full Restoration: How to Add MIDI, Upgrade RAM & Play Live

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"If you want to see how the Oberheim DX looks from the inside, how to clean the buttons, how to upgrade the RAM, and how to add MIDI to this classic drum machine, you're in the right place.

This machine came to me in pretty bad shape. Dirty on the outside, with some faulty buttons, and in serious need of some love. But honestly? It's not that hard to bring one of these back to life if you're careful and you enjoy working with vintage gear. And if you don't — stick around anyway, because it's super interesting to see these machines from the inside.

I'm walking you through the full process: deep cleaning, how to remove and clean the button contacts the right way (spoiler: cleaning the surface does nothing — you need to go under them), installing the Electrongate MIDI board and RAM upgrade so you don't need a battery anymore, and swapping the plastic panels for the beautiful wooden ones from Electrongate.

Big shoutout to Paul White, whose Electrongate videos were a huge reference for this build. I'm just a student passing the knowledge forward — go check his page, I'll leave the links below.

Once everything was back together and fully working, I put on a jacket — because if I'm performing original music for you, you deserve some respect — and played a live jam using the restored Oberheim DX, the Oberheim DMX, Moog Voyager, Rhodes Mark I, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Elektron Digitakt, and the Roland Space Echo RE-201."

APHEX TWIN - Pulsewidth COVER (Elektron Digitakt2, Roland SH01a, Prophet REV2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"Recreating Aphex Twin’s “Pulsewidth” using modern hardware synths: the Elektron Digitakt II, Roland SH-01A, and Sequential Prophet Rev2.

This is my cover version of one of the most iconic tracks from Selected Ambient Works 85–92, carefully crafted to capture its hypnotic pulse and raw analog character.

To rebuild the drum section true to the original, I used Roland R-8 drum samples (the same machine Aphex Twin used) loaded into the Digitakt II, and programmed its sequencer for the rhythmic patterns.
And for the iconic melody the same sample Aphex used: the first seconds of the track Butterfly Holocaust by Neutron 9000."

Loop Samples Without Clicks on Syntakt 1.40, Digitakt & Every Sampler

video upload by Sineway

"Loop points that click are one of the most frustrating things in sampling - and one of the easiest to fix once you know how. In this video I show you a simple crossfade technique in Audacity that produces seamless, click-free loops every single time. No plugins, no special tools - just a free tool and a workflow that works.

I record the source sound straight from the Novation Peak into Audacity, build the loop, and then export in the right format for each device - mono/16-bit/48kHz for Syntakt 1.40 and the original Digitakt, and stereo/24-bit/48kHz for Digitakt II. The difference in the final result is exactly what you'd expect - and worth hearing.

The technique itself is sampler-agnostic. Whether you're on an Elektron box, an SP-404, an MPC, or anything else, the principle is the same: get the loop right before it ever reaches the hardware.

Digitakt II: Synthesis and Noise Only

video upload by EZBOT

"Can you make a decent sounding pattern on the Digitakt II with only Oscillators and Noise only? In this video, we dive deep into the factory utilities on the Elektron Digitakt 2 to see just how far the internal engine can be pushed. All sounds (drums, chords, leads etc.) will be made using fun and clever sampler techniques."

Which Elektron Sampler Should You Get? Let's Talk About The Digitakt II, Octatrack, and Tonverk

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!"

Beyond the Noise: Synth and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"The initial idea of this track started with just ambient noise created by running the Mutable Instruments 'Plaits' through the Schlappi Engineering 'Interstellar Radio'. This noise was further processed and randomized by running the signal through various filters and effects.

After deciding to add in melodic and percussive content, the Moog 'Mother 32' and Novation 'Bass Station II' (AFX overlay used) were then added with sequencing provided by the Squarp Instruments 'Hermod+'. To process the Bass Station II further, it was sent through the eurorack setup using a couple Noise Engineering modules and the Befaco 'Oneiroi'.

The Novation 'Peak', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', and Korg 'Minilogue XD' and 'Arp 2600M' were added next to provide bass, melodic and ambient drone content. Last added was some additional drums/samples provided by the Elektron 'Digitakt II'."

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."
