Just recorded a 30 minute ambient modular session. I’m running Eurorack + Moog DFAM into the Elektron Syntakt, which handles effects, modulation, and a lot of sequencing in the FX tracks. The idea was to use the Syntakt in a different way than usual and see what kind of evolving textures I could get. If you’re curious about the setup or process, feel free to ask!
Dubby vibes on Syntakt second jam 
Just got a Syntakt for the 2nd time. Feels great so far. I still find it hard to decide what to use for the FX track. Kick and Bass sound good but then i want to use something else on some synth stuff. Well, as they say limitation sparks creativity. And they’re right.
It’s refreshing for me to work with a limited soundset and create something out of it. Although the sound palette is not really that limited. But coming from the Tonverk the fx are minimal on the Syntakt. Some kind of sample reducer would be lovely for the Syntakt.
Here’s some electro stuff:
I have the same problem, the FX track is useful for so much so I often have to make a sacrifice 
You could try an audio-rate square wave lfo to amp. Not the same I know, but adds some grit.
Or run everything throughr the FX track and use audio rate LFO to the FX filter, for even more drama. Or both filter and amp at the same time, at different speeds (two LFOs)…
Great ideas! That’s what i meant. When you’re limited you get creative. This machine is balanced pretty well.
Hey Syntakt gang, anyone got some tips on making less cold, wavetabley metallic sounds with the chord machine? I love using the CM because I can make non-diatonic chords while still following a scale (which isn’t as intuitive on the DN2) but I’m having a tough time getting lush, warmer sounds.
@ex did you check SSL#4?
No, been missing all those lovely labs. Great idea mate, thanks!
I don’t know what a Machinedrum is supposed to sound like but I imagine it being something like this 
Syntakt through NI Bite (12 bit and a bit of crunch) and Supercharger.

Tried something different this time, a short jam where Syntakt meets Buchla. It turned into a quick, messy, fun experiment. If you’re into this kind of stuff, I’d love to hear your thoughts
That was really fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for listening Glad you liked it!
Hey, just saw your comment! I’m not really good with chord names, to be honest, the key is Eb minor. I’m self taught on the piano and mostly play by instinct. I’m really glad you find my videos inspiring, it means a lot
Literally watched this just before reading that:
This has to be one my favorite things I’ve heard in this thread. Fantastic!
What do you mean by an audio rate lfo? Are you talking about the speed and mult?
@adamantium3 Yes, basically any combination of speed and mult that results in LFO frequencies above 20Hz. Per definition, audio-rate means any frequency between 20Hz and 20kHz, but it’s above 200-300Hz things start to get interesting wrt sidebands.
Here’s a little write-up on audio-rate modulation of amplitude:
And here’s an example of using audio-rate LFOs to pitch (used on all the drum sounds, everything coming from the SY chord machine)
This is really nice! Gives me Luke Vibert vibes!
Just when I had gotten consolidated down to a Digitone 2 and Digitakt 2, you’re making me wanna dust off my Syntakt again.
I did some soundscapes on the Syntakt for the season
