Hi guys,
I’m testing Digitakt and I’m really excited about this little thing. However, since a lot of production process lives in preparation I barely could find any good tips and tricks on how to build glitchy / noisy rhythms. I’m a big fan of Board of Canada, Plaid, early Aphex Twin and early Autechre and would love to build some nice glitch ridden, but melodic stuff.
I figured a lot of the glitch / IDM type thing is in LFO modulating samples / loop start, etc. But coming from eurorack, Digitakt LFO is confusing AF. I have a few interesting items in my gear like cassette player and reel-to-reel player, which I use a lot in the production — I would love to use it for sampling as well as an effect source.
I would really appreciate any tips & tricks you could throw me. How to get started, what to look into, how to sample, what to sample, stuff like this. I don’t expect an extensive list of know-how but rather something to get my brain going.
Thanks,
Nikita
