My Secret Digitakt Shaker Technique (AKA: Humanising Shaken Percussion Grooves)

I love egg shakers.

I love them in “the real world” and I’ll put them on everything when I’m in the studio recording live musicians, but I also like to involve shaker parts in my electronic music - it’s pretty music an obsession for me at this point.

In this video I talk about a couple of tricks that I like to use to give these shaker parts more “life”.

Nice! Love the use of re-trigs and overriding trigs. Also, why don’t they teach us about LFOs in grade school?

Great stuff! I agree that using a retrig to cover a gap is a great tip. I need to go fix some patterns now :slight_smile:

Yeah I use that “retrig cover up” a lot. No one needs to know about those empty conditional trigs!
