Which Elektron Sampler Should You Get?

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'."

Today's JAM features the Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control, Elektron Digitakt, Chase Bliss Audio Mood MKII, and more.

The ROTO is connected to the Mood, sequencing its parameters.
It felt wintery, so I went with acoustic guitar.

Thank you for listen & watching (:

video upload by myVolts

"Luke Brennan, MD at myVolts giving a demonstration of our new Step Up USB-C power adapters can power a Chase Bliss pedal or a Digitakt Synth from just a standard USB Cable.

With a background in power adapters, myVolts have developed a range of solutions so you can power your synths, pedals, AV gear and more with USB. You can even power items that were previously powered by batteries.

The Silent Alchemist is an Isolated USB power hub, that allow you to do that without the buzz and humm usually associated with USB power.

In this video, he talks of how Step Up, a USB-C solution. With our 'Power My Gear' free webtool, you can plan out your USB power setup easily.

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."

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."
