Wow that was good 😚 I guess it's an excellent grasp of harmony, great technical ability and a lovely wit - that makes for a top grade RU-vid channel 😀

@jonaseggen2230 2 года назад

Digitone, or any other Electron device for that sake is to advanced for me and I know this would be pearls before swine on me and make me mostly frustrated. But I still find this out of all of them the most intriguing and looks like so much fun for people who know what they are doing. I am so impressed by people who can use this and make really nice stuff on it, like here in this video.

@el_dani 2 года назад

never pearls before swine as long as you as you have fun - and I think Elektrons are great beginner instruments as you have the perfect implication of the sequencer that let you create very quick melodies - maybe try (a cheap mk1) Analog 4 as it has the more classic voice structure (and a separate mini keyboard that helped me a lot in the beginning)

@audeon_visual 2 года назад

This has become my favorite series on your channel. I really like your pacing and the balance you've found between sound design instruction and demo. I also really love driving harmonic-rich sounds through the filter/filter envelope, and seeing which sounds are able to trickle out when the depth and cutoff are manipulated. This synth is crazy powerful and feels like it has a life of its own. Thanks for the amazing video man!

@BigPlasticPlant 2 года назад

I’ve recently rediscovered my pasta based Digitone, I always enjoyed it but would without fail paint myself in to a corner sound design wise because I didn’t understand the carrier relationships and how to use things with a little more subtlety. A few weeks ago I spent a weekend in Cadiz and it’s all I had with me, i fell in love again. Great video as always ✌️

@gresagroup 2 года назад

Thank you J. Great work and nice spontaneous melody was born, simple and deep, like a-ha had produced some ages ago.

@MrMarcLaflamme 2 года назад

Liked at "160 bpm". As for Probability vs Conditional Trig. Prob applies to whole track, Conditional is on the trig only (as you know). So setting track probability to 50% would be the same as applying 50% cond to every trig. Just a whole lot easier. A cool trick is setting Probability to something low but forcing 100% conditional trig to ensure you have some stability in your track.

@mrclark10001 2 года назад

So I have a very bad case of ongoing GASitus, it started about two years ago. During that time I’ve bought and sold a few synths a few times, OP-Z and the Digitone (never really lost money on them as always second hand). Tonight will be the third time I’m buying the digitone. I’ve had fun exploring a multitude of other stand alone synths, grooveboxes and such, but the Digitone is the only one I really truly felt bad about letting go of. This time it will be kept until I no longer exist. It really is something a bit special and I believe there is nothing out there like it. Jeremy, you’ve sold it to me once again! Great piece and inspiring as usual!

@Space_pulse 2 года назад

I just love modulating the ratio and harmonics on Digitone. So much fun! I’ve been really tempted to get a harmonic oscillator in my Eurorack, but I feel like the Digitone does such a good job of getting me in that territory that it’s not necessary.

@ToyKeeper 2 года назад

I think Digitone is probably the best instrument Elektron has made so far. It's a fantastic and deep soundscape creation tool which has the ability to automatically generate nice-sounding tones via harmonics and algorithmic timbre changes. It does the math for you so you can focus on the overall feeling. Each pattern is a complex multipatch similar to what the Wavestate does, but with a much nicer interface. All it needs to be complete is an external multitrack sequencer, along the lines of a NDLR.

@warpigs330 2 года назад

Your comment on the digitone being about having it's sounds reveal facets over time really struck me. I have had it for over a year now and have been having a bit of trouble with it, and I think it is because I have been making sounds that are too static. I usually use it without a midi keyboard and without velocity sensitive buttons it can be easy to make things without a lot of dynamics. I think I need to do a deep dive on the lfos as you put them to amazing use here.

@gatorgoforth3097 2 года назад

I recommend watching some Digitone videos by Oscillator Sink.

@jaakbonenstaak8041 2 года назад

Some trig locks go a long way too :)

@ryanholmberg 2 года назад

I’d recommend playing with the velocity mod settings. Pro tip- the fastest way to get to that setting in the menu is func+down (x2) then down one more time. From there you can use the velocity parameter (trig page) as a p-lock for 4 parameters at once. But you’ll probably need to adjust the velocity>volume curve higher up in that menu

@nerfytheclown 2 года назад

I ended up buying the version with the Keys attached. I am very fond of the Fatar keyboard, but more; just the depth of things you can get with aftertouch is astonishing. Definitely hope you got hold of a good midi keyboard.

@MattGreerMusic 2 года назад

This synth has found a place in almost every new song I've written since I got it. It just has so much range and it seems to always sit nice in a mix, too. I basically never use it like a groovebox anymore but for tracking in the DAW, I use it all the time. Great instrument. Thanks for sharing your mindset.

@donaldpriola1807 2 года назад

While watching this, I kept thinking of the benefits of starting without a drumbeat--I've always done best when I do drums last, probably because it forces me out of old habits. The Pulsar-23 pairs really well with the Digitone, although chaos can ensue.

Does the LFO modulate the synB amount from where it is initially set? Or just through it’s entire range (based on the LFO depth)?

@ToyKeeper 2 года назад

Sounds really good! What happens if you hook this pattern/multipatch up to an external sequencer where you could give it different chords and melodies, then switch between those while control-all-ing the timbres? I'm picturing tracks 1-3 driven by a Digitakt or something, with track 4 either improvised on a keyboard or voice-to-midi'd in from a Dubler so you can keep your hands free for chord-pattern changes and control-all adjustments.

@bonsaibloom 2 года назад

@andywturley 2 года назад

just following along acquainting myself with the digitone and weirdly, if i'm recording the notes via external midi keyboard, at 1m30s when you decrease the carrier value, I don't get any change to the sound. no sub tone at all. but if I record the notes in on the digitone itself, no other changes, I can get the same result as you? whats the difference? Why is the digitone not behaving the same way based on where the notes are written from? Any suggestions? thanks!

@AnalogWoods 2 года назад

My assumption is that your midi controller is set to a different track than the one you're actually modifying. Midi channels 1-4 correspond to track 1-4 and 10 is the auto channel (always plays the selected track) iirc.
