Mixing House and EDM Together With the Digitakt II and Syntakt

video upload by EZBOT

"I am fascinated by trying new ideas and breaking the rules to suit my musical needs. I used this video/audio for a project with Patreon inc, which is why there is less hands on with modulation. I had to record the video several times, and eventually i just stuck to getting to the end of the song.

This song is called "Shardonay." I wrote it mostly on the Digitakt I and later adapted it to the Digitakt II. It began with a sample from my guitar running through a Gamechanger Audio pedal. The track develops into EDM later on, with the Syntakt showcasing its colors. This was performed using the Performance Mixer 3.0, a template for the Octatrack mk1/mk2 that you can find via the links below.

Lyrics:
stay up
I've got to stay up to sleep
If you've got nothing
nothing goes to waste
stay up

Digitone II Is Here, Let's Discuss...

video upload by EZBOT

"On the table today we have the Digitone II, Digitakt II, and the Elektron Octatrack MK2. The Digitone just recently started getting into people hands, people like myself. I love Elektron music machines and was a huge fan of my Digitone, but ultimately took it away and replaced it with the Syntakt. Today, we reverse that and bring back the Digitone II into the production and live performance rig. Let's discuss it's workflow, new sound engines, and where it sits in your live ecosystem.

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.

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.

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.
