As some of you know I’ve been working on a Digitone preset pack for some time now and it’s finally finished :). It contains 253 sounds that are aimed at techno minded styles, dark ambient, soundscapes, but also contains plenty of presets for deeper music. I’m a sucker for dub, so you’ll find plenty of sounds that will work well with dub style chords. But, as you can hear from the demo, harder/industrial sounds are aplenty.
Get it here:
The sounds were made in part while creating my live performances over the past few years. Additionally I’ve had sound design sessions where I focused on creating a lot of kicks, hi hats, pads etc. I really took the time to explore the extremes of Digitone while keeping it effective for music and sound design. So you’ll find sounds in the pack that are like little soundscapes and ambiences by themselves. So a lot of sounds I already use in my liveset but the majority I will be using in the future. So you’ll have sounds that I still need to use in my own music
Anyway, if anyone got the pack, I’m very curious to know what you think of it. Or if you have any questions, let me know.
Hey Dave !
Have you thought of doing sound packs for the analog series (if you still have them) ?
I will definitely going to buy this one to feed my digitone !
Cheers
Loved the movie Dust til Dawn. My fav Quintin Tarantino flick.
Also looking forward to checking this out Dave. Been spending most of my musical time trying to get my head around programing the DN. Can’t wait to reverse engineer your stuff. Thanx
Legend. These presets are super fun - one jam in and I’m really liking how they’ve transformed the pallet of my Dn. It’s nice sometimes to just drive in to good quality sounds as starting points with the digitone and enjoy the sequencer.
Hio @DaveMech I got around to recording a jam of the project i put together using all the dusk till dawn sounds for the most part. I love them. they just sit so well together as a set.
some of the pattern changes in my recording are a bit rough, but as starting points for tracks to add other gear around, Ive found the purchase of this soundset has made my DTN my go to piece of gear for starting ideas.
Just bought these great presets for my Digitone 2 and I wanted to shout out @DaveMech. These presets are great. I’ve been mainly fiddling with the new synth engines but these are a reminder to not sit on the original Digitone FM engines. I don’t generally buy presets but I knew these would be amazing to study for sound design tips and they are.
Even though we now have a dedicated drum-oriented synth engine, these show great variety for kicks, snares, hats, percs etc using the original FM engines. Great ideas for how to shape organic and interesting drum and percussion sounds, how to get great use out of the LFOs and the how to use the FM envelopes in subtle ways to make evolving sounds and drums that aren’t so static.
This is all before you even get to the brilliant synth bass sounds, dub chords etc. Awesome work!
As I’m banging my head against this issue at the moment… The pack is delivered as sound files, not a .syx file, correct? Since we can’t load .syx into Dn2 at the moment?
Yes it’s a folder full of files in nested folders. I was able to drag the entire root folder across into a new sound bank slot in transfer app and it copied the whole lot across. No issues at all loading them within the DN II.
sound fantastic
especially love the one around 21.30 minute mark. Really cool
