How do you make warm soft analog sounds on Digitone?

[Lovelight]

Thanks a lot everyone Its really helpful with all your inputs, thanks again

[Eaves]

I made a tutorial on how to make pads and leads on the Digitone. When tweaking stuff, you naturally end up with a metallic FM-y sound without even trying. There are a ton of sweet spots everywhere, but they’re really tiny. This tutorial picks out a favorite sweet spot of mine and shows how to make a few different sounds from there:

So many thanks for the s/o, selfup! Really great to hear that people get use out of the tutorial

[selfup]

It was a very good tutorial. Thanks for the great content!

general rules for getting “analog-like” feel are

• use A/B mix to add some sub (people ten connect lower spectrum in sound with analog synths
• apply feedback to the point you get slight noise (a hain noise is always connecte dwithnanalog synths)
• use LP2 a lot

This pack!

Virtual Analog Wave Kit for The Elektron Digitone

[Virtual Analog Wave Kit for The Elektron Digitone] Here it is, The pack is 30 sounds for $4. My first sound pack and my first demo video in which I noodle a bunch, Demo 12 patches, and chat with my digitone. (It’s kind of a talker.) Still trying to figure out how to screencap an oscilloscope VST, but anybody with a scope is welcome to share what you find. The patches are ordered in groups (I.e. saws, squares, folders, etc.) And deviate in stability as you go through the group. …

Also oscillator sink’s free patch pack sounds nice

Edit: also, put the Digitone through the Syntakt analog FX block!!

i leave mine in the sun for a bit

I made many warm “analog” sounds for Digitone, because i think this synth is can do.

Haunted Hearts but also

This got me thinking, are there any other packs that approach the amazing ambient softness of Haunted Hearts?

Just found this one https://soundghost.net/product/digitone-clouds/

cant remember for sure, but check this pack

IMO, these Geometry packs are essentials if you want a shortcut to analog-like ear candy on the Digitone. I will go so far to say that the majority of these sounds, ESPECIALLY in the first pack, sound like excellent preset patches you would find on a variety of good analog synths.

The second pack is, of course, fantastic as well, but maybe not as “bread and butter” with the base analog sounds? Pack two seems to add to interest and complexity in the patches. Both packs are very complementary because of the seeming focus on certain types of sounds in each pack. You don’t get a lot of rehash of pack 1 on pack 2, which is great. This is just my interpretation.

One thing I really appreciate is that many of these patches already have some inherent analog-sounding imperfections baked in. Getting that combination of girth, clarity AND ever-so-slight variability sounding just right makes many of these patches fine substitutes if you don’t have real analog handy, or even want to get into some FM weirdness from an analog sound base.

And being able to get totally weird with FM, polyphony, AND to get some convincing VA sounds all on the same box, with up to 4 tracks, really opens things up. I can more often get away with, say, just a Digitakt/Digitone pairing without always wanting to break out a real analog as a third piece. Smaller is better, especially if I’m dragging this stuff around for a live performance.

Regarding the Geometry packs, I find myself getting lost in just playing some of these patches, no intent to write or record, just playing for fun. This is especially true of the large selection of washy ambient leads, pads, arpeggiated patches and more that come with these packs.

Fantastic stuff that shows off the Digitone’s flexibility as a worthy VA when put in the right sound design hands.

If you go to the “Transistor Digitone” video above in YouTube, which is a demo of both of these packs together, there are links to the individual packs in the description. That’s what I meant by “these packs” in reference to the video.

For your convenience, I have copy-pasted the links.

[PAPANOONGAKU]

It’s funny because using that link only produces a few posts all made in the last 6 hours on this topic. So it seems like they have not been discussed in the forum before.

I thought he was referring to something earlier in the thread and I went through the last 50 posts or so and didn’t see it, so I thought i’d ask. Sorry, i forgot that always bugs you.

That’s awesome, man. True Elektronaut, you are!!

I purchased the Geometry packs on Bandcamp, but I can’t find the download links for the Sysex files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Edit: found it.

This is especially true of the large selection of washy ambient leads, pads, arpeggiated patches and more that come with these packs.

Are there other kinds of sounds? I checked the videos and these washy pads put me off. They do sound good, but I prefer more defined sounds.
