00:00 - Intro
00:12 - Start the beat

"This is the second part of our DRM1 MKIV video series “one beat // different sounds.” We still have the same beat from last week with 91 bpm and 16 steps, sequenced by the Korg SQ-64.

This week’s kit is a bit more aggressive and higher pitched. There are no external effects, just the DRM1 MKIV. Headphones are recommended!"

DRM1 MKIV - one beat // different sounds

00:00 - Intro
00:12 - Start the beat
01:31 - Outro

"This is the beginning of a new video series about the DRM1 MKIV. We will feed our drum synthesizer with the same beat, but in each part of the series we will use different sounds. We want to explore with you how the feel of the rhythm changes when the tones are altered.

Here, we are using a Korg SQ-64 sequencer to trigger the DRM1 MKIV via MIDI. The first sequence has 16 steps and a tempo of 91 bpm.

We recommend the use of headphones! No external effects are used. Enjoy the video."

01:20 - Outro

Drum kit No. 3 for our *one beat // different sounds* series. We still haven’t changed any of the steps in the sequence, so the only variation is in the timbres.
Here we have made the CLAP instrument much shorter and with only one click at the beginning. The SNARE has a long and bright noise tail. Also both HI HAT channels got a larger portion of noise, compared to last week.
Don’t forget to use headphones!

Let us know in the comments which instrument you like best in this video."

DRM1 MKIV - one beat // different sounds

00:00 - Intro
00:12 - Start the beat
01:42 - Outro

"In the fourth episode of our “one beat // different sounds” series, we start with a high resonant low snare with a lot of reverb tail—notice how the snare sound reacts to velocity.
The kick growls with a medium decay, while DRUM 1 adds another deep percussive kick whose BEND is very velocity dependent.

Please use headphones or a good pair of speakers as you may not be able to enjoy beat 4 on a smartphone or the speakers in your flat screen."

00:00 - Intro
00:10 - Start
00:56 - beat with all instruments

"We used the powerful sequencer of the Elektron Digitakt II to create a new beat for our one beat // different sounds series. We call the first set of sounds the *electronic master kit*. The DRM1 MKIV produces typical analog drum and percussion sounds without any external effects or sound processing.

The beat itself has 32 steps and is played at 83 bpm."

DRM1 MKIV: blob kit (one beat // different sounds #2.2)

00:00 - Intro
00:09 - Start
00:57 - beat with all instruments

"We use the Elektron Digitakt II to sequence the DRM1 MKIV via MIDI. All sounds come directly from the DRM1 MKIV without any post processing."

DRM1 MKIV: chirping forest kit (one beat // different sounds # 2.3)

video upload by vermonagear

00:00 - Intro 00:09 - Starting the Beat 00:51 - All Instruments "Can the DRM1 MKIV sing like a bird? Find out by watching this video. There is nothing left of the sound set from the last episode. We wildly tweaked all 73 knobs on our drum synthesizer and came up with the sound set we call the _chirping forest kit_.

The sequence was programmed with the sequencer of the mighty DIGITAKT II from ‪@WeAreElektron‬ But there are no external effects. What you hear comes directly from the main outputs of the DRM1 MKIV.
