Ricky Tinez on the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II : I WANTED to Play Live with this Thing, but nvm..

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"It can't even do things the PO-33 can do! I let myself down by getting wrapped in the hype, haha. Its an awesome device, and yes you can make full songs on it.. But it might be a challenge at times! Which can be a good thing. TL:DR, I wanted to get this to play live and perform on, but it's going to be a little trickier than I excpected."

Ricky Tinez' Favorite Physical Modelling Eurorack Module // What i wish Rings would do.

Ricky Tinez

"The QuBit Surface, to me, is one of the best physical modeling drum modules on the market right now. I know there are others that have way more modulation and Control over every little aspect of the sound, but i'm trying to make the music not the drum sounds! -- On top of all that, the size is perfect for my smaller cases and The Surface is quick and easy to use with its small size and 3 main knobs for controlling the sounds. When i tried it out at Namm 2020 i knew it was an instant favorite.

Ricky Tinez Has to Show You This Patch.. // Cool Sync'd Modulation with 2 LFOs

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"You can do this on any synthesizer with two Oscillators and two LFOs with a basic mod matrix! I came across Sound while working on a track recently and I had to hit pause and show you how I made this patch. So hopefully you'll be able to sound design this onto one of your instruments.

Digitakt Destroyed Sample // Resampling chords to death

Ricky Tinez

"So after my last Digitakt Resample video [below] I was hit up asking to redo it but slightyl differently this time. So now, i've taken a sample and sped it up as fast as possible, resampled that and stretched it back down. This method created lo-fi chords instantly almost too lofi haha!"

Resampling the Same Sound 21 times.. Woah.. // Digitakt can crank out some dust...

Ricky Tinez: I'm finally a Tracker user.. // Polyend Tracker thoughts and making a song.

Published on May 2, 2020 Ricky Tinez

"I've tried getting used to the ReNoise workflow for what feels like forever.. I couldn't do it! it was the weirdest DAW to me. But for whatever reason using the Polyend Tracker to make music fully standalone doesn't really feel like a DAW even though thats exactly what it is.. I think its just having my Tracker shortcuts right on the face of the unit vs hidden behind the QWERTY keyboard made all the difference for me."

Ricky Tinez Tried to Make a Song with the EP-133, almost lost his mind.

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"In this Compact Creation, let's put the EP-133 to the test! I'll make a track from start to finish. This is how I'll be using the Teenage Engineering KO ii in my studio. Sampling sounds, arranging a track, and getting ideas down quickly. As you'll see there are some weird quirks along the way. But in reality, it's just a workflow I'm not fully used to yet."

Ricky Tinez: Digitakt 1 year later // What i wish i knew before buying it.

Ricky Tinez

"The Digitakt is awesome, but with that out of the way.. It's not perfect. There is a lot i wish would change in a Digitakt Firmware update but we'll see since Elektron just released one on June 9, 2020. After a year or so of using the Digitakt, i've found new flaws in it that i originally didn't know existed!"

Ricky Tinez: Trying to Make a Sound I heard in my Head // What is Key Tracking? w/ the Novation Peak

Ricky Tinez

"What is Key tracking? I've been loving using keyboard tracking as a modulation source for weirder things. Outside of the typical Filter tracking, key tracking can be used as a source, on most synthesizers with a good mod matrix, to modulate a vast number of things. In this video i try and sound design a sound i heard in my head while driving, using key tracking as the core modulation source.

I've slept on this modulation type for way too long. I didn't realize that using Noise as a modulation source on a synthesizer could be so powerful! What's great about this type of modulation is that you can do it on almost any synthesizer as long as you have an LFO that can go into Random or Sample & Hold mode. I show you how in the video!

Compact Creations 022 // Circuit Tracks and Drumbrute Impact Jam

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"Circuit Tracks jam with an Arturia Drum brute to back it up! aka Compact Creations. Wow it's been awhile since i've done a simple small dawless setup. I wanted to feed 2 birds with 1 seed using Circuit Tracks to give me 2 synths. But then i went and ruined it by using the Drumbrute as all my drums haha! This was a fun jam and should I start doing these more often?

You Can Get a Ton out of This Setup // A Cheap Compact Creation

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"I want to share the full creative process of taking a simple idea made on relatively cheap gear, to making it a finished track! This is Part 1 of 3 so stay tuned for the rest. Similar to my last video with the expensive version.. ( ) You can get away with so much when you have a Sample, a Synth, and a Drum Machine. In this case, it's Circuit Rhythm, Model:Cycles, and the Modal Sculpt. Some of my all time favorite cheap pieces."

I'm tired of hearing this on tracks. // A weirdly passionate dive into Envelopes...

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"I'm guilty of doing this with sustain to a point where i forget that i had it set to this setting! On Another note.. Just this simple Synth Trick can help add some more motion and movement to your pads. Its great on long chords, or synth pad sounds.
