One synth/system, one drum machine/sampler, go

I’d like to see other people’s ideas on pairing 1 synth with 1 drum machine, hardware and/or software. Only 1 elektron box allowed per pair :rofl:

Post a track with your duo ftw

Novation Summit and Analog RYTM.
Although I’ve never played either, so I’m working from the point of versatility and what I’ve heard about them.

I could be fine with the Access virus TI and Machinedrum UW

MC and Digitone were fun together!

I sold the DN to afford an MC-707 since, but this was one of my favorite pairings.
I want to do more with the Cycles and XFM soon.

Ah poop. I messed up!

I really been loving digitakt + waldorf M but I am also using a mixer and an FX unit.

I’ve since gone back and layered in another kick and redid a bit of the drum programming but ya get the idea here.

Polyend Tracker and Lyra 8.

Haven’t actually recorded anything with them yet, but if last night’s little intro session is anything to go by, then this is going to be a long and fruitful partnership.

DT+Blofeld (although Multimode is a bit like cheating…)

Digitone + Blackbox

Example minimal use of both:

Honestly the only piece of gear I’m interested in is the Dreadbox Nymphes. It’s tiny and it sounds great. So that and my Digitakt sounds like a whole lot of fun. But I alas don’t have one and probably won’t get one.

Of my existing gear, the Skulpt and the Digitakt make a really great combination. Or I could go Digitone plus Circuit Rhythm.

Keep in mind I’m not imagining myself really rocking all that live as much as sampling the synth and making dumb hip-hop beats.

Pulsar-23 and Moog Grandmother. A great mix of immediacy and depth. I’ve had a lot of fun cross-patching the two.
