Great video to help folks getting started digging deeper into the M8. The remote display over USB function is perfect for demos and tutorials like this! For anyone who may be concerned about screen size: if you can read this YT comment on your phone, you will have no problems reading the M8 screen. Cheers :^)

Note on Table Arpeggiation: if you want to repitch the arpeggio without restarting the table, put the new note in the Phrase, but remove the entry for the instrument next to it.

@savnac Год назад

i feel like this is the only device i'll ever need to just have fun with sounds, without being serious about making music. even if its far easily capable of making music as you've shown us with two albums already, i just feel like this thing is fun just to program sounds and effects and have fun with no expectations. i ordered one, and hope to fall in love with it.

I can't explain in words how excited I am about this album. 0:30 "I'll be releasing an M8 album on 3/18." That's 2 days from now!!!! 4:59 "Oh and BTW, you'll be able to download the entire album as a bundle." WHAT?!?!?! Thanks so much for this! Got the headless after your first vid. Got the preorder after messing around a bit and enjoying the workflow. Wrote a song, and now I'm craving info on song building and design to develop ideas into a final, polished song. This will be a massive help. Love you, love your music, love this. And kudos to Trash80. Truly inspiring work. Taking an idea like this and developing the hardware & software to market is a monumental task for a single person to undertake. I hope this platform takes off and scales without too much (additional) stress. You deserve all the success. Ok, now I need to finish watching the rest of this. Much love, Ed / TheEJM3

@ChumpyDumps 2 года назад

Really dope you’re highlighting this little guy. Trash80 needs all the love he can get for making this beast of a device. It’s become my favorite portable device. Yeah, it’s very programmy versus “playing” but honestly that works so much better for portable situations in like a vehicle. Can’t tell you how many times I missed timing on my OP-1 cuz a car hit a bump or a plane hit turbulence.

@alecsbuga 2 года назад

I've watched 2/3 of it and it's great, but I want to mention something so I don't forget: 1) Instead of duplicating a kick pattern, you can put a CHAnce or NTH operator on that last kick and trigger it like on the 4th repetition of the pattern, or 25% of the time. You know... Elektron style :D 2) "Tables are complicated". I thought that too, but think of it as a step lfo where you can automate pretty much anything. It's a really dope sequencer once you get the hang of it, and BOY it sounds amazing.

@teyoru 2 года назад

4:29 this I think clarified a lot for me. I use renoise and I’ve been writing my notes directly into patterns (roughly equivalent to phrases-as-chains). that isn’t very efficient, nor is it conducive to exploring variations over 4 (or 8 or 3 or N)-bar phrases. I should experiment with that when I get home. ngl I would love to hear more about using a tracker from a flexibility and inspiring-creativity point of view, they’re clearly powerful but easy to underutilize

"Does that make sense?" is actually something I'm curious about as well. As someone who had an M8 since last October, everything you're showing obviously makes sense to me as many of it is second nature, but I'm curious if I was watching this without having knowledge of how the M8 or even trackers work, if this would look super confusing to me. I only say this because the M8 introduced me to trackers and prior to making music with them, looking at how music is made on them was the equivalent of looking at a website's CSS or HTML code, ie complete gibberish. Either way, really appreciate the video on the tips as I really want more people to experience the joy of music making with this little beast of a device. It's truly one of, if not my all-time favorite piece of gear I've ever owned.

I know you have tried some of them so you got some experience, and you know more people that actually lives from music. Could you tell something more about it? At least some hints or experience that you got with it :) Thank you for your content, it made me content :)

I have a particularly challenging time applying music theory to trackers. I love the details and sound design, but coming from keyboard, I find that I get stuck and often just enter notes in the same scales over and over and have trouble keeping track of key changes and scale changes between patterns. It might be just an organizational thing, but I'm curious how others deal with this on trackers... mad respect for Amiga users back in the day, can't imagine doing that without a physical notepad and cheat sheet nearby 😅

@SimonWollwage 2 года назад

M8 has scale modes and you can even change scales via commands per track

@G8tr1522 2 года назад

I've been doodling on instruments for 15 years, but I only recently started to make full songs. I have a fair amount of theory knowledge. But I tend to just use my ears as of now, even in a DAW. Since chords are so tricky on the M8, I usually end up eschewing harmony for more complex melodies. If you want to use the synths to make complex harmonies and chord progressions, you will need to have patience with the tracker workflow. A lot of fx commands are necessary. Ie, you will need to constantly repitch and change the color parameter in the chord wavetable instrument. Not to mention that said instrument can only do 4 note chords. You will need to be creative and 'virtually' remove the 1st and 5th to get really complex. Eg, you trigger a C minor, but you have a G# in your bass instrument, thus, the C minor is effectively a G# maj9 with no G#. Alternately, if you know exactly what you want, you can always sample in. Personally, I like to fiddle and experiment, and I find that difficult to do when I use M8 synths to make chords. Hope that helps.

@GeorgeL909 2 года назад

@@SimonWollwage I didn't realize that! Super helpful for on the go composition, since I wouldn't carry a controller if I had an m8 on the move.

@GeorgeL909 2 года назад

@@G8tr1522 this is super helpful. I use Sunvox for tracker stuff, and I'll often compose in C, such as c harmonic minor, Phrygian, or whatever, then use transpose to get it where I want key wise, since I'm never gonna be doing live jazz solos using a qwerty keyboard 🤣, although I try... In C at least. For chords, honestly I get by using 2 tracks to form simple chords. I could absolutely see the m8 working based on the workflow you described, but I ended up splurging on a Syntakt, which is just an fm tracker in disguise 🥸, and I absolutely adore it, but it is far from portable. One day though... the m8 is in my predator vision/ shoulder Cannon reticle.
