Also, Ctrl All is a beast on this one. There’s just something about synthesized drum sounds compared to samples. I haven’t felt so groovy since I worked the Beat FX mode on the Tempest.

Slow the tempo as slow as it goes, Ctrl-All amp envelope attack to nearly max, everything with modulated delay and reverb at 100%… boom, ambient.
(only half kidding)

Speaking of ambient, I was just looking for Syntakt examples on YouTube and came across this… hard to imagine the ST making pad/atmosphere sounds with the weight and depth of these DN patches. Would love to be wrong though.

not really ambient by my definition but some would call it that.
I couldn’t avoid using drums on my first track with the syntakt either.
Hope you enjoy !!

Super chill track—nice work! I have no problem calling it ambient.
Lovely.
Can you or someone please help explain how to make a note hold longer than one measure when recording? Without re-triggering at the end of the loop?
I completely realize this machine is not designed to drone necessarily, I just can’t figure out how to record a sustained note for a long period of time without it re-triggering.
substan is amazing! So much beautiful work on the Digitone etc.

I don’t own a Syntakt, but… set the duration to INF and the condition to FIRST, so that it only trigs once? You can probably do something with fill to shut it off.

It’s best to set a drone note up in grid recording as explained above or capture live and then edit to prevent retriggering
That’s very good. Nice work!
Literally just watched this - some great sound design in here I’m impressed with what it can do in this space tbh…

Very nicely done. One of my favorite Syntakt pieces so far.
