I made a track from scratch in 40 minutes on the Digitone


I was short on time when I started recording this video. I wasn’t sure whether I should upload it or not, because I wasn’t too happy with the end result. I explain things only when it occurs to me that I should maybe explain things, so there are long stretches of silence every now and then!

What I did here in around 40 minutes, I usually do in 4-5 hours. Making the first pattern happens fairly quickly, but then I get stuck in a loop where I try out new things and just have fun with the pattern. Making the B-section is really hard, because I’m often running out of juice at this point and have to continue the next day, but I managed to make a B-section in record time here!

I went into this video without a plan, and it probably shows. Let me know if you think this unstructured stream-of-consciousness type of video is interesting, or if you prefer more structured/prepared videos with notes. I like doing both, so I could go either way :slight_smile:

The track starts at 39:12.

Thanks for watching!
