10:05 - Tips when performing or jamming on Launchkey
"In this video, we create a track from scratch, finishing with a fully built-out song, utilising all of Launchkey’s creative features and the stock plugins available in Ableton Live Lite.
Starting with chords to establish the tone of the track, Rob uses Scale Mode and Chord Map to inspire melodic chord progressions. He progresses the track by adding the bass, then introduces the lead melody to work with and enhance the chords. Using performance modifiers, he transforms the chords by separating notes into melodic lines, while drums bring the track all together, with the help of Launchkey’s onboard Sequencer, making programming percussion easy. Rob also uses the Arpeggiator to create a melodic line that sits on top of the track.
Watch to the end of this video, where Rob performs live with Ableton’s clip launching, to arrange the elements in a live setting. He offers tips on performing and jamming live with Launchkey and Ableton, including using the encoders to adjust plugin parameters in real time and creating sweeping transitions that energise the arrangement.

video upload by atnr
"This piece was created using the @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, @teenageengineering OP-1 field, and YAMAHA MOTIF-RACK ES.
It features cut-up drum patterns layered with synth harmonies and melodic lines.
On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.
On the OP-1 field, recorded drum performances are sampled, rearranged, and played back as reconstructed patterns. The sequence is controlled via MIDI from Ableton Live. Used effects include the @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MKII and the @strymon NIGHTSKY.
The bassline is generated using Omnisphere.
Melodies and additional parts are performed on the MOTIF-RACK ES, completing the arrangement."

"Step into the golden era of electronic music with Airwave, a meticulously crafted VST plugin that brings the unmistakable sound of one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time. Revered for its lush supersaw leads, ethereal pads, and driving basslines, this synth was a defining force in the trance, progressive, and electronic music movements. Now, with Airwave, that iconic sound is reborn, modernized for today’s producers while staying true to its original character.
At the heart of Airwave is its dual-layer architecture, allowing for intricate sound sculpting and massive stacked tones. Independently shape the Upper and Lower layers, blending evolving pads with sharp, detuned leads or creating complex, rhythmic textures. The deep modulation capabilities and multi-mode filters give you total control over your sound.
Airwave is available as a 32 and 64-bit VST 2.4 and VST 3 instrument for Windows."
U-He Hive: 25 Free Presets + Patterns. Dark Atmospheric Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
🏙 Lost Traffic is a collection of 25 tempo-synced presets+sequences for U-He Hive 2, designed for dark, urban and cinematic electronic music.
The soundset is inspired by neon megacities, late-night drives, underground clubs, dystopian skylines and graphic-novel noir — somewhere between cyberpunk futures and crime-ridden streets, without going fully into grit and dirt.
📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/hive...
🛎 The pack is free, but any donation is appreciated.
👤 The author of the soundset is Daytona Carter.
🧿 Each sequence has a distinct personality: some feel like restless traffic lanes, some like narrow alleys pulsing with tension, others like cold, mechanical grids of light.
The overall tone is dark, urban, synthetic and dystopian, with only a few rare moments of calm and space.
🎛 All presets are velocity-sensitive and performance-ready.
The ModWheel is essential: it doesn’t just make small tweaks — it opens up each sequence:
🔹 adding extra notes and counter-rhythms.
🔹 introducing delays, distortion and tonal shifts.
🔹 morphing between more minimal patterns and denser, more aggressive versions.
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."
Low Gain Live @ Twin City Synth Meet 11-16-25
video upload by LowgainElectronics
"Live improvised performance for the Fall Edition of the Twin City Synth Meet in Minneapolis, MN. 4-5 voices on a 2 panel Low-Gain Electronics prototype 4U Modular system. 2 outputs from the modular one containing the 4-5 voices, the other as an "aux" send to the Fieldtone Box of Uncertainty. Aux 1 & 2 on mixer were Chase Bliss Mood MK2 (aux 1) and Endorphins Evil Pet (aux 2) (just used as simple reverb). Both stereo aux were returned on channels on the mixer. That's it!
