Techno Artists with Elektron products

Machinedrum uses the machinedrum, Octo Octa uses the octatrack

Overmono use the octatrack. Love their music.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned elsewhere:
Lifkas Boiler Room live performance. Heavy use of Analog Rytm mki and Octatrack mkii besides TB-3 and modular. Great sound!

Actually I’m about to find out what Eurorack setup he used and have made an incomplete rack on modulargrid. I would like to fill the empty space so if anybody knows some of the missing modules, you’re welcome :smiley:

Model samples. Can anybody name the other synths you can spot?

TD3-MO
SH-01a
Tr8s
OB-6
Jx-08

What’s the tiny synth next to the model samples?

Tr6s

I’m amazed any of you can spot anything besides the TR-8s and the mixer. There is writing in the way. Also who is this? And why are they considered a techno artist?

Overmono. It’s not techno as in the genre but techno as in ā€˜electronic dance music with a repetitive beat made with machines’.

Plus they are both established solid Techno producers in their own right. In recent history anyway…

great vid, thanks for posting. always good to see people operating in proper live settings - it trumps bedroom techno every single time. and so good that BR was thoughtful enough to have that overhead camera angle!

I know some of the harder artists do / used to use a Elektron gear.

9999999 used to use OT and AR before they switched to a hybrid setup. BLSS and 6ejou both use AR and A4. Speedy J also uses OT.

suggests use of Digitone too, and a comment says Monomachine too.

Stef Mendesidis double octatrack. He moves around gear quite a bit now double Maschine+ I think.

Moving from MD and modular toOT and AR MK II:

I wish she would explain in more detail how she is using the OT.

(Updated my Rytm to 1.71 yesterday - and will it use more frequently)

She’s probably using the OT the same as everybody else

Long sample playback / manipulating external audio. … filter sweeps / chopped up audio / fx fade in and out. / reverse . Or just typical sample sequencing.
