The Amorphic Process of Hardware Songwriting

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, we dive into the unique and ever-evolving process of music creation. Don't be fooled, complexity isn't always the key to a hit track. Embrace the basics, keep it simple and let the music tell its story. Remember, there's no need to fear the basic ideas. Simple concepts can often turn into your greatest hits! Your need for complexity shouldn't ruin a good song. Remember, there's no need to fear the basic ideas. Simple concepts can often turn into your greatest hits! Your need for complexity shouldn't ruin a good song. Working with a rich lineup of hardware including the Elektron Octatrack (w/ FX template), Digitakt, Digitone, Syntakt, the Roland VT-4 vocoder, and the Roland TB-03, we explore how the 'limitations' of these tools can actually enhance the songwriting process.

LEARN ORCΛ LIVE CODING ~ IN DEPTH TUTORIALS

Published on Apr 22, 2020 EZBOT

"In this video I will show you how to use ORCA livecoding software. We will cover everything from connecting your midi device to creating several different types of sequencers. Grab you favorite groovebox and lets make some music!

Find more on ORCA here:
https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca

Buy ORCA here:
https://hundredrabbits.itch.io/orca

From Hundredrabbits:
Orca is an esoteric programming language designed to quickly create procedural sequencers, in which every letter of the alphabet is an operation, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame.

This application is not a synthesizer, but a flexible livecoding environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC & UDP to your audio/visual interfaces, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.

The Joy of Adding A Compact Analog Synthesizer To Your Setup

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, I explore the pure joy of adding a compact analog synthesizer to a modern Elektron setup. Pairing the Digitakt II and Digitone II with the Sequential Take 5 desktop unlocks a whole new level of warmth, depth, and character. I’ll show you how this small but powerful analog poly integrates seamlessly with your grooveboxes, bringing lush pads, punchy basslines, and expressive leads into your workflow without sacrificing portability. If you’ve been wondering whether an analog synth can really elevate your hybrid setup, this video will show you exactly why it’s worth it."

Octatrack Meets the XOR NerdSEQ: 24 Patterns of Pure Nostalgic Bliss

video by EZBOT

"This was my live performance for Basement State on 6/4/21. I built a template for the Octatrack that was a mix of live resampling/fx-box and a typical drum machine. The music is very cheerful, someone in chat said the music was an "anti-depressant." I played with Red Means Recording, Project 32, and Herr Shield. Amazing performances all around. If you want to know more about my setup, thought process, and writing style for this performance please visit my Patreon for in depth discussions on this performance and others.

Introducing Song Mode on Digitakt, Syntakt, Digitone & Digitone Keys

video uploads by Elektron

Update: user videos added below.

"Check your radar, Song Mode has splashed down on planets Digitakt, Syntakt, and Digitone. It’s been a… somewhat generously requested addition to the Digis, and we’re delighted to bring this powerful feature on to those machines. Song Mode lets you create, edit, and play compositions made up of dozens of your patterns. This makes it a hugely useful feature for all kinds of scenarios and for all kinds of artists.

Customize your backing track, leaving your hands free for other awesome gear. Extend beyond the limits of the 64-step sequencer. Create entire set-lists in a single song. And that’s only scratching the surface of Song Mode’s possibilities.

There are plenty of creative tricks to explore in Song Mode as well, ensuring that hitting play is only the beginning of its potential, plus a bunch more features and improvements such as Portamento and global FX/mix on the Syntakt and Keyboard Fold on the Digis. Keep an eye on our channels for the variety of ways that Song Mode can work for you. Find out more about and download this sublime OS Upgrade: https://bit.ly/3E0dC8X"

Song Mode for Digitakt Digitone Syntakt is here!

video upload by Dave Mech

"So they finally did it. They added song mode to the digitakt, digitone and syntakt! I think a lot of people will be very pleased with this. Really cool to see that Elektron keeps updating their line-up with really major updates that keep the instruments alive and relevant yet again for years to come.

In this video I show you how the song mode works and how you can also use it in a creative way. There was also a major update to the firmware of Syntakt adding a lot of great functionality like Portamento, global fx settings, midi mod matrixes and a few other very useful features. Beyond the scope of this video, and the video I did record to showcase those functions was unfortunately ruined. So maybe next time :)

Anyway, enjoy!
