Elektron Digitakt: Monster Mono-synth?!

Published on Mar 9, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"The Elektron Digitakt is a wonderful sampler, sequencer, groovebox... thing! But what if I told you that it's also a monster mono-synth? The rantings of a mad-man? Well maybe! But when you consider that each of its eight sampler tracks can be set up to act as a highly configurable oscillator by looping short, single-cycle wave-forms, the prospect of an 8 oscillator mono-synth starts to sound somewhat appealing!

In this video I take a look at setting up the Digitakt to act like a mono-synth and walk through building an 8-oscillator mono-synth patch from scratch."

Playing Behringer MODEL D From GUITAR - Audio-to-Synth / Sonicsmith CONVERTER+ A1 / Guitarsynth

Published on Mar 9, 2019 VolcaRock

"Quick demo of my Behringer Model D playing from Guitar!
Sonicsmith Coverter+ converts the audiosignal from my guitar to pitch and gate for my Model D. The tracking is pretty fast. Model D behaves like my guitar :-)
The final sound is 100% Behringer Model D. On one patch I fed the Audio Controlled Oscillator ACO of the Converter+ into the Model D mixer as additional Sound source. And I used the LFO of the A1 Module for the Model Ds filter.

In the past I used a Midi-based guitarsynthesizer from Roland with my Godin LGX.-SA with build-in Piezo pickups for MIDI tracking. But the Sonicsmith Converter+ tracks faster. Of course you have to play very accurate (not like me) to get results without glitch.
No MIDI has been used for these recordings!
