SOPHIE's sound design (Digitone or Monomachine?)

There are some really good sounds there. Any chance you’d share the parameter/how they were created please ?

Just tried to achieve some Sophie’s signature tones with Digitone

If you have Digitone you can download .syx project of this little demo and see how it works. Link in the description of the YouTube video

I have a hard time to like those metallic sounds.
It’s like rubbing old rusty pans together while eating aluminium foil.

But I think you nailed it. It really sounds like Sophie.

Borrowed a real Monomachine for a couple of weeks

I once got similar sounds from the tone. Reminded me of some sort of mechanical “scream” of a wounded machine. Yours is more sterile though, true to the example.

Nice work

That’s awesome. The sounds are so close I’d never know if you’d just played the audio to me.

If you still have it would you mind sharing the sysex please ? Like you did with the Digitone.

I’ve learn’t quite a lot from that sysex and I’d love to get those sounds out of my Monomachine.

Sure, thanks!

Thank you!

I planned to get .syx out of the MNM, but did not have time to figure out how to do it correctly and already returned the synth to the owner from whom I borrowed it. This old elektron’s snapshot/kit structure is quite confusing for me as a user of the Digi family :new_moon_with_face:

Yeah I know what you mean :slight_smile: It is quite different.

Thank you anyway I’ll continue to use you excellent DN sysex to learn and model on the MNM. Which in long run is probably better for my learning :slight_smile:

Recently got a Digitone, was wondering if creating sounds like

and

(The lead btw) were possible, and if so how you would go about creating them? Help would be suuuper appreciated, i’m very new to the Digi, and eager to make these sounds. Thanks! :wink:

A post was merged into an existing topic: Sophie. rip

@krypt wow I’m surprised I was looking for some insight into wether digitone can produced sounds like sophie (Well MnM, which she uses as we all know), which I was thinking about buying but since I saw ur reply I think it’s possible but still would like to get your opinion and advice as I’m new to this Hyperpop thing and just recently discovered sophie after her death, smh.

After all ur experience with the DT do you think it can produced full fledge tracks and mainly sounds like sophie with a little bit of ableton influence?

And Also 1) can we record out the MIDI arp data out of DT into DAW?
2) can we import waveforms into digitone, I know it does FM synthesis but does it also allow to import user designed waveforms kinda like serum?

I’m eagerly waiting for your reply.

All the best,
Aydin

I don’t think there’s a midi arp function in DN, and as of now, there’s no way to import your own waves neither.

Just to make it clear, we usually keep DT for Digitakt, and DN for Digitone :tongue:

@LyingDalai That makes sense, from now onwards I will be aware of that. Thanks for letting me know.

@Loku5150 But I saw some YT videos where they were discussing that DN has only midi arp or (audio arp I don’t remember clearly tho?!) , but if we cannot import user waves, can we create weird wave shapes (like in serum where we can have the first half square and second half sine etc. you get it) or are we limited to only 4 basic operators (saw, square, sine and triangle) ?

I’m 99% certain DN can’t send arp over midi, if that’s what you mean.

There’s a possibility of creating quite strange wave shapes with “harmonics” factor.

@Loku5150 I initially wanted to buy a monomachine but after I found out it’s rarity and sky rocketing prices, I decided to go with DN but after having a conversation with you thanks to the forum, I’m thinking that DN might not be the right machine for me, can you please suggest a monomachine equivalent from the elektron family or any other in you vicinity, I can only afford 1 machine hence this confusion, so can you tell me one machine thats close to MnM?
