Reinventing The Elektron Octatrack As A Punch-In Effects Player

video upload by EZBOT

"This is worth the effort to learn. The Hyper FX performance template for the Elektron Octatrack is all about "punch in effects." Use the punch in effects to create new rhythms from your existing patterns. The effects are glitchy, lo-fi, and full of grit. I originally designed this template for drum and bass, but it works great for all genres and tempos. The idea is that you play the effects yourself, like another instrument. There are combos and synergy, and with practice, you can master the move sets. No matter what kind of music you are making, this will transform your project.

Investing In Your DAWLESS Workflow PAYS OFF

video upload by EZBOT

"I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the perfect workflow.. does it even exist? Today we are going to discuss workflow, technique for sampling, effects processing, and trying to stick to our intuition. On the table we have a Digitakt II, M8 Tracker, Synthstrom Deluge, Melbourne Delia, and the Headrush Core for vocals and guitar."

Never Get Tired Of These Kinds Of Patterns

video upload by EZBOT

"Today we're going to make some Dub Techno from nothing, to a fully playable track. Dub Techno has a simple formula that's very satisfying to perfect. Modulated bandpass filtered chord stabs, deep delays and long reverbs, it's a trance inducing experience. We'll be using the Digitakt II, Elektron Octatrack, Syntakt, and the King KORG Neo as our polysynth (along with the analog heat + FX). So sit back and enjoy the repetitive, minimal, and blissful experience that is Dub."

Everything Sounds Better Once It's Inside The Digitakt II

video upload by EZBOT

"Making a song from scratch is always an adventure. The instruments you choose to sequence or sample determine the narrative for your track. I chose to use the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field and the Hologram Microcosm to guide me into what was later referred to as the "space jungle." This track falls into the jungle-IDM genre. Check it out, and you might find some cool examples of techniques to try in your next tune.

EZBOT's Favorite Techno Setup Of The Year

"Live improv techno is hard, not just hard to perform, it's difficult to choose the right pieces of gear to accomplish an interesting and fun performance. In this video we discuss and perform live hardware techno using the Octatrack MK2, Digitakt II, Moog Labyrinth, Moog Mavis, and the Siren. I love the sounds I am getting and how easy it is to change them on the fly.

The Labyrinth Sequences Itself and Everything Else Is Techno

video upload by EZBOT

"The Labyrinth is fine on it's own, but what if we use it's generative sequencer to sequence our other modules? I am finding this workflow is fantastic for techno production, and sampling in general. The riffs that you can pull out of a quick session are awesome, check it out!"

Double The Power Of Your Hardware With A Good Controller

"Today, we’re going to check out the SHIK MIDI Controller and how it works. The SHIK has some special features that you don’t usually find on other controllers, especially at its price. These features include Macro controls and MIN/MAX control, which let you customize your grooveboxes way more than a basic MIDI controller. I’ve paired it with the Octatrack Performance Mixer 3.0 Template to show you exactly what I mean.

Must Have Accessories For Your Hardware Tracker

"The Dirtywave M8 tracker is a nearly flawless device, but that doesn't mean the user experience couldn't be improved. Electronics create noise, MIDI adapters use multiple dongle types, and controlling the M8 Tracker could be a bit more performative. In this video, I will share solutions to these problems."
