11:55 - YESSS This is so good - not only was it a great little insight, but the overall process and presentation are top notch - the live sound creation with immediate feedback and relevant commentary, not to mention the instant head noddin banger. Well done! This is how tutorials should be done. 👍 Thank you for sharing.
I love your Digitakt videos and didn’t know you had anything for the XD. These two are my small setup right now, so this was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Damn Ihor, been vibing with you the whole day today, awesome stuff! My minilogue xd is arriving tomorrow, looking forward to apply all the theory you taught me!
Great video, thanks. I'm new to making music and recently bought a TR-8S, Minilogue XD and Keystep Pro. This has given me some new insight into how to use the XD and ideas for basslines. Sub'd!
Perhaps as TIP for the viewers here, myself don't have one of these (yet), but I think that the KORG NUTEKT NTS-1 can also produce the monophonic sounds you made because both use the same sound engine (XD=Polyphonic / NTS-1=Monophonic) NTS-1 is not that handy in use compared with the XD but if you wish the same beautiful sounds, effects and filters as the XD is the NTS-1 a cheap solution. I just want to mention the viewers on this. And Ihor, als always a good tutorial ! Thanks for sharing !
This is a very good tip. Thanks for sharing. Essentially all of these 3 patches I made are monophonic (I forgot to switch the first one into mono tho, however it was fine, because notes were kinda far apart). Considering the price of NTS-1 it is a good alternative for such sounds. Thanks for watching and taking time to share your idea! I appreciate it.
Holy Shit I have the original Minilouge and have never seen before that the xD is that more powerful. I have never really used the sequencer on the minilouge because I always thought of it a "not good"
Sequence from 11:45 to 13:30 is absolutely insane; the overtones in that sound are absolute stunning. Imagine taking this sound to a professional setup in a club .. if you listen carefully, you can hear the subtle details of the reverb in the top of the sound. Love it.
@@trescon5989 seriously, I'm almost about to a minilogue , then program a similar pattern like in the sequence and just have it running 8 hours a day ;)
instant sub man! even though I don't have minilogue I was able to use your tips and transform it on Volca Bass and Nu;tekt to get similar sounds, amazing job and very cleary shown, thanks!
Hey man, nice video! I'm rather into dark wave/electro/industrial than techno but still learned some useful tricks! will definitely try on my minilogue
On the Digitakt you have to enable in MIDI settings to send clock and transport. On the Minilogue you have to configure receiving those. I think those settings are called something like "Rx" for receiving on the Minilogue.
Hey Ihor, I loved this video and wanted to ask: could we get a tutorial on how you made the beats on the ACID Bassline portion of this video? I can't get enough of that beat and would love to know how you made it!
Hey Jonathan! Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it! In this video I just used 909 kit. And made a quick beat with kick, low tom and a few hihats. Nothing too special! Perhaps one catchy thing was with that low tom sound on track 3. I threw a few triggs here and there and then recorded low pass filter cutoff movement with my hand. It recorded a lot of param locks. Then I started removing some trigs and param locks after recording. Up until it sounded "cool" haha. You could probably check "Beats from Scratch" or "Techno from Scratch" videos on my channel. In those I go into all the details of their creation. You might find a lot of different tips and tricks there!
yesss! I love it! more of this kind of videos please. espacially on the patterns or trigs it self! was really helpful I crafted this on my Analog Four - was really fun!
Looks very easy to do) But it’s not. So the question is: what’s your education ? Where did you learn to create sounds and then make music/arrangements from it?
Hey Leonid! Good question. I am a self-study guy pretty much. Back when I was a teenager I learned a lot by listening, analysing and learning how to play different songs on my guitar. Later on I discovered electronic music and started doing pretty much the same. A lot of listening, analysis, practice. And of course RU-vid tutorials, etc.
Great video again! Your content is really simple to follow and offers great value! May I ask about your routing in your setup? Do you run a hybrid dawless/daw setup? If so, how is it routed? I struggle a bit with what goes into my mixer or interface and so on...I'd like to be able to multitrack in my daw but also leave it out and record stereo directly from my mixer.. What is your approach?
That is a struggle I always have. It really depends on the situation. Most of the times I do not even multitrack my creations, but just record the master. On all my videos for sure like that. Multitracking is always complicated for me. I run out of inputs in my interface and so on. My latest solution to that is a (weirdly enough) DJ mixer! I got XONE 96 (crazy expensive tbh) and it has an audio interface in it. So I multitrack 4 stereo pairs from it. Pretty much like that now.
Ihor always enjoy your explorations, XD is such a sonic designer unit, be great with a looper 4 channels layering sounds while a loop plays altering XD modes to reloop Loike it lots🆒👍🎶🎶🎶🔱🇬🇧🇬🇧🌈🕸🌀
Hey Sunny! Much appreciate your comment! Regarding the small synth there are so many choices, man. To be honest any small synth is good for techno, I wouldn't recommend a specific one! Digitone, DB-01, Minitaur, Mother 32, and many more! All of them are good and special in their own way.
Loved this so much. Please do more of these soon! Also could you do a video that describes the Digitakt portion of this, and what you did to create some of the drum sequences heard in this video?
Thank you so much for kind words! More to come for sure! If you are interested in learning Digi - I have plenty of videos about making music on it too ;)
OMG you got it man, am learning so much and most of all it's inspiring and sometimes for me thats tthe hing I struggle with more than getting the sounds I want but well thats another strugle lol
Thank you very much, David! Check my latest video, it is about careless jamming that I love so much. If I struggle a lot with music production, I get bored and discouraged. And this is a perfect time to let it go and do some mad jamming instead!
@@IhorMedia yeah yeah I watched, I have a po33 and I think I can make similar stuff with it but I think that po12 worths it, I mught get one the thing I heard is after a while you get bored of the same sounds
Jeeeyyy Ihor. Your expression during tuts is great. Great tutorials even for us old farts 😂. I am almost 40 years in music production and I'm still enjoying in your tutorials. Keep up a good work. All the best from here 👍
It was a 909 low tom sample. I threw some triggers here and there, overdrive, and then recorded lowpass filter movement with my hand. Came out dope actually!
Oh! Does it not have built-in FX? I didn’t know that. But that’s kinda fixable by going into a DAW or FX unit. Though I get the point. It’s good when everything inside the box. Also in this video I think I relied too much on the FX rather than synthesis. I’ve got such a comment and I agree with this. Nothing wrong with that. But that made me want to make another Minilogue video and do not rely on Fx that much!
@@IhorMedia Если без шуток, то спасибо за "науку". И за контент (from init sound to ... я ещё не видел, особенно с найс звучанием)))! До покупки сего девайса смотрел всякое... Но благодаря этому видео понял, что покупать ещё один синт (берингер дипмайнд 6/12) рановато, ибо и и здесь можно извлечь отличный саунд. По крайней мере для того, чтобы осознать, что писать партии - не VST собачий)))
@@IhorMedia tx! Small tech question, how do you see the effect parameters on the display? When i choose depth and time i don't see for example elay times on the display
@@IhorMedia вопрос: был ли опыт работы с Pioneer Toraiz SP-16? И какой сэмплер по твоему мнению лучший для создания техно? Oktatrack мне нравится но очень замороченный и экран маленький-эта часть очень важна для меня.
Hi Ihor, love the sounds and video. But I have a sidenote for some feedback. The sounds depend a lot from the on board Minilogue XD FX. Therefor makes them less ideal for a lot of simple Analog Synthesizers. Yes you could recreate a lot of the pre-FX sounds. But they probably will sound different without the FX. You would need some FX pedals to do so.Would be fair to mention that in the video or slap the FX on at the end and mention that with FX they sound even better. Just keep up the quality of your videos man.
100% valuable and reasonable feedback. I will take this into consideration while crating other videos. Thank you Daan for taking your time! Much appreciate your feedback!
Because of you, I just bought a Digitakt! @ihor would you ever consider doing a video on programming various drum patterns? You always have such amazing grooves and I would love to learn from you! Thanks for your content, it’s incredibly inspiring and IMHO you are the most talented EDM producer on YT
Thank you, Jonathan! Your kind words mean a lot to me. About the drum patterns. What do you really mean by that? Like different genres, or different variations within the same genre? Or like in general how I make beats? Thanks in advance!
@@IhorMedia whenever I program XOX style it sounds pretty lame, yet you seem to get amazing techno grooves out of your digitakt in no time. I would love to see you walk through how to program different techno drum patterns on the digitakt (and other EDM styles too perhaps) but really go step by step. Like “for the kick, I’m going to place it here, here and here”. I know this sounds basic but no one ever actually shows these essential steps on YT and I think you’d be great at it!
@@jonathanyoung6397 thanks a lot for elaborating. I think I do something quite similar in my Beats from Scratch series. Where I start from a blank pattern. Have you watched those? However I like the idea that you shared about covering different drums patterns from different genres even. I really appreciate you sharing this with me!
@Jonathan Play with dynamics, for example not every hihat with the same velocity. I dont know the digitakt but record your fingerdrumming and then quantize if you're out of sync. Your drums will sound less static that way. Also a little swing can help. @Ihor The long gate bass sound amazing! Just bought the minilogue xd and stumbled upon your video
