Holy shit…
As a person who programs drums, i am constantly blown away by your drum programming.
As a person who plays drumset, i hear the language in your drumming and i hear your sentences and phrasing and i love them.
As a person with two ears and a heart, i feel a myriad of emotions when i listen to your music and i like the places it takes me to.
Anybody, ever, who questions the power of this instrument needs to be shown your work… as an expressive instrument, as a compositional tool… you raise it up to a new level.
Always eagerly awaiting the next thing you do…

Can only echo the people in this thread - outstanding work! From a technical / compositional standpoint it’s marvellous how you utilize the four tracks of the Digitone. Seems there’s never anything missing nor is there ever too many things going on at once. First and foremost, however, the vibe of the whole set is just absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

thank you very much @korpinen
it is very helpful to have only four tracks, it keeps everything nice and under control, so things get to be more focused. im a big fan of this workflow

As a Digitone student, i can say that you and Ivar are clearly the most obvious masters i’ve come across so far.
I’ m sure i will get to know other ones better, but you two are really setting the bar.

@ylva just bought the album, and it’s amazing!!

I also started to use the Secret Friend Device for the Digitakt and its mental!! how easy is to have a perc banger. I only have a doubt, how can I record the sequences generated in the midi tracks of ableton inside the Digitakt tracks?

Thanks!

hi @lester , thank you so much for the kind words <3
if you want to record the sequences you need to do it realtime, best if you set ableton to send clock to the digitakt, press play in ableton and record on the digitakt and let it run for whatever pattern length you have it set to. also note that if you want to record the fills you need to set the pattern to x2 scale on the digitakt and probably pre-chain some patterns the patterns before you start recording
and also: there is a dedicate thread for secret friend / temporarium secretarium and all my future software endeavours here:

Just wanted to say I keep coming back to the song Rush over and over again. I’ve listened to the song probably 50 times and I’m still totally floored by it! The drums are amazing and the vocal samples are so incredibly lush. Not to mention the general vibe that just takes me on a journey every time!

hello everyone, “The Era Of Imperfect Memory” is a new record / video performance / instrument i have released today. it was made with the octatrack, digitone, ableton and a max for live device i wrote. i would like to describe it as a musical essay about time, movement, dust and memory.

i also wanna point out that youtube started putting adds before my videos without asking me or me earning anything out of it so please accept my sincere apologies.

the download also contains “We’ve Met Before” , a max for live device i wrote which could be described as a reoccurring texture and minimal rhythm generator.
it can sound like a lonely tree standing in a field with many oddments tied up to its branches. it can also sound like a haunted orchestra or generate landscapes, drones and rhythmic pulses (free, quantized or between) which can be used as the foundation of a beat. it also possible to process external signals (mainly made for drums, but sounds interesting on other sources as well) and integrate them into the overall sound.

if you are broke and you want a copy pm me and ill get you sorted, no questions asked.

xx
