In this video I show you how I use the arpeggiator to inspire new tracks, build complex melodies, and instant basslines! A very simple technique that I believe is sometimes overlooked.

I second that. If it wasn't for EzBot, Cuckoo and The Messy Desk I would have sold these boxes years ago.

@1UpBebop 2 года назад

Fun fact: the Digitone manual says that the arp offsets and transpose functionality should be relative to whatever scale you set up. Eg- you're C major playing a string of Cs and you then you offset 1 it should be D. Of course this doesn't work - it stays chromatic and you get C#. Elektron have been told this since the release. They've claimed this would be fixed, constantly, but here we are, years later still waiting for proper scale lock functionality. Think of how easy it could be set up chord progressions / bass lines, and more if transposition and offsets could actually be locked to the scale choice.

@tullamusic Год назад

When I figured my Minibrute 2S has this functionality I literally felt like I had unlocked some sort of chird progression cheat code lol so I can imagine people wanting this to be fixed for sure.

This is great! I love this technique with the A4 because it has "random" as an arp type. You can put in a 4 note chord, hit random on the arp, and it will give you an instant random melody with those 4 notes! Give us random on the DN elektron!!!

Hoping they add that, kind of a shame considering it’s a baseline machine. But if you’re using a daw you can just arp the box via the vst plugin which is very fun.

@DanChippendaleMusic 2 года назад

I'm going to give this a go nice one. One downside it that if you mute the track, it won't play another note until the sequencer hits trig 1 again. Guess it's not a biggie if the track isn't going to be muted and you use the amp page to fade the track in/out.

@jeroen2303 2 года назад

I mostly use the Arp of the octatrack for this. With the octatrack you can make all notes fall in a certain key. Then using the lfo's on either the transpose or on a second or third note. While doing this all will stay in the predetermined key!

@EZBOT_ 2 года назад

Definitely most effective on the Octatrack, totally agree

@johnchesters81 Год назад

Great tutorial. Can you live record the arp into the sequencer, so you can use conditional trigs etc on each of the steps (16th notes for example)?

@nkozi Год назад

Head's up for my A4 peeps: A speed value of x6 equal to 16th notes, and you set the note length directly next to that knob.

@EZBOT_ Год назад

Yes! This is tracker values, 6 ticks

@DielectricFailure Месяц назад

I’m curious if you could use a line in/out to run a distortion pedal (for guitar) but only on the kick and not effect the other tracks. Awesome tutorial!

@tendingtropic7778 Год назад

cool! such a shame the syntakt doesn't have the same arp as the digitone. how could would that be?

@kloijhi 2 года назад

on Octatrack mkii how to get arp speed 1/16 it have only multiplied values. In manual speed 6 means 1/16note but something dont work for me. I have arp mode up, spd 6, nlen1/16 (same values for first trigger) but arp plays only first 3notes from 16. Any ideas why?

@lwpweb 8 месяцев назад

by the way like on the octatrack i assume on the dgt too you are able to rotate the arp sequence with doing func arrow keys left and right. thats fun for live.

@HAJJ101 Год назад

Can we overlap arps for each trig on one track on the digitone using this method? Like a legato for the release instead of instant cut off

@willp3754 2 года назад

I rarely use the arp except on chords. Can quickly turn chord progression into a line, and shape it by p-locking arp mode, rate, etc. This is arguably faster but has its own problems. The arp has no swing, so the resulting groove is usually worse than if the notes were step sequenced.

@bloopbleepnothinghere 2 года назад

Wish you could trig lock the arp steps, you can't lock that reverb to an arp step which is a bummer. It would be great if you could flatten the arp to a track after you are happy with it and then mess with the steps with trig locks. I find I stay away from the arp a little because of this limitation.

@marcusfreeweb 2 года назад

No trigless (just parameter) locks either?

@willp3754 2 года назад

If you know what you want, just step sequencing it outright is going to be faster in the end.

@willp3754 2 года назад

Flattening / rendering the arp would be a great feature, we probably won't see it in the current generation of machines though

@bloopbleepnothinghere 2 года назад

@ACarbonellBeceiro Год назад

Pretty cool but if I’m not wrong you lose all sound and parameter lock capabilities from the actual sequencer. Or could triggerless trigs do the trick? Is there a way to “dump” the arpeggiator sequence into the actual sequencer? Looks great for creativity and quick ideas tho. Nice vid 😊
