100 hours later i can finally continue making music
I finally finished Elden Ring after 110-something hours, and can finally get back to making music again And I can consume all the lore videos now that they won’t spoil the game for me any longer.
All audio is coming from the Digitone, and was recorded in one take. I used Fruity Limiter (to sidechain the melodic stuff to the drums), MJUC (for color), Phoenix (for color), Maximus (as EQ) and ToTape6 (as saturation and limiter).
Patrons will find the patterns on D07 and D14 on the attached project file. (I listened through old patterns and was too lazy to switch project before working on this track).
There Was Gearlust But It’s Gone Now (19th May 2022)
This is my first pattern on the Syntakt that I turned into a full track. I’d write more, but I’m going back to playing with the Syntakt Thank you very much Elektron for this generous gift!
All audio is coming from the Syntakt, with post processing from MJUC, Phoenix, Maximus and ToTape6. I was a lot more subtle with the settings than usual, since the Syntakt sounds great without any post processing!
Well deserved. Considering how many Digitakts, Digitones, and Analog 4’s you have certainly inspired people to buy (or not sell on the 2nd hand market) I expect Elektron will get a very good return on their investment.
Edit: ha posted before reading that I just repeated every other comment.
To validate this fact… Ivar is the only person that convinced me to get the Digitone. We seem to do similar things as well. Got an A4 / Heat seemingly around the same time. Decided to process more in the box after the Heat. Use similar plugins.
We both do software/like indie games. I’d say that’s mostly why (other than the music of course)
Playing around with the SY TOY machines. I made a little snes era jrpg loop the other day, then added the drums today and recorded the results. The kicks on the Syntakt can become HUGE thanks to the FX track. Ducking everything else under the kick is so satisfying
All audio is coming from the Syntakt, running through the following plugins at practically init settings:
MJUC (compressor)
Phoenix (preamp sim)
Maximus (multiband expander)
TDR SlickEQ M (equalizer)
ToTape6 (tape sim)
are there mistakes if no one notices (26th May 2022)
Exploring the chord machine. I used it for the chords on track 6 and lead on track 7. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, because I prefer to punch in my notes one at a time. It’s very flexible, especially with LFOs assigned to chord/osc balance!
The title came from 1:58, where I forgot to queue the next pattern and had to play the same 32 steps again. That mistake served the track after all, I think!

No interesting title this time, been a bit sick lately and don’t have the energy to come up with one. Making a track at 180 bpm was a nice change of pace!

SAWED OFF SHOTGUN (4th June 2022)
I recently finished The Last of Us 2, which was an amazing experience, and I was always in awe at the combat music in the game. I’ve also been exploring the BD HARD and SD HARD machines on the Syntakt. The end result was this aggressive battle track

Thanks for watching!
i left at the end (6th June 2022)
I had to go in the middle of filming, hence the title. I’m really enjoying the dark tones I’m getting out of the Syntakt!
