After being inspired by loopop’s video on tape looping textures with samplers, I decided to have a go with similar sources (piano and birdsong). Thank your for the inspiration.

just saw the video this morning and was really inspired by it as well. I like not using the sequencer, but then u lose the ability to do parameter locking. Still, really cool and minimalistic use of the DT.
really dig your vid.

Was a great idea. I’ve seen some ambient artists use the same technique with live recording also, no sequencer. I’ve also recorded some videos with a similar technique using the sequencer with differing track lengths, and random Hold LFO to Start to give the variation and overlap.

Sounds very interesting. I really like the concept of using the Digitakt as a tape recorder. I will be making some ambient stuff with it and see how it goes. Got a digitone? curious to how that would be like with the digitakt.

I’ve not tried it but perhaps you could use trigless locks in this circumstance which would then open up the door for a bunch of trig conditions too?
Yes, lucky enough to have gotten a Digitone, which I love. It excels at creating ambient stuff, but it is such a versatile synth. The 2 paired together would provide infinite possibilities.

You can still use the sequencer, just make sure to trig the samples with a 1st trig condition. Then you can add trigless trigs further along the sequence to change parameters. Putting % conditional trigs on them also makes them more interesting, or letting the sequencer run really slowly.

Ooooh I get it. Yeah that sounds reeeally interesting now. Then the sequencer would be completely independent from the actual loops. That’s pretty cool.
