Your Digitakt-only "Productions" - do you have some?! ;-)

This one too :

Project Live 2017 is a Live based on experimental Minimal Deep & Techno influenced by the cosmic trip of Pink Floyd’s Electronic Guittars & Synth vibes !
I hope you Enjoy !

Here’s something I threw together for some background music for a video my brother is making for youtube. This is Digitakt through Analog Heat with some light compression and eq in Ableton Live. When I made this beat, I liked it a lot, but in the process of tweaking and getting it to sound right, I’m tired of it, ha! At any rate, let me know what you think.

hell yeah, I’m digging the gritty stuff these days.

Sounds cool.

I know how you feel. I’ve come back to stuff I was really into for a couple of nights of jamming, only to think - damn, that’s kind of boring.
But after leaving the patterns for a week or so in order to concentrate on other things, I can return with something that brings them back to life.
Recently I added a pedal tone (resampled) minor chord to a previous old pattern, this created musical tension that, somewhat, reinvigorated it.

This is a mega compilation of beats and weird ambient things I’ve done exclusively on the DT. I’ve previously posted some of this material but it is all new recordings. I recorded every track out one by one in Reaper. It was uh… tedious. But fun.

100% Digitakt. All the non drums are from the beginning of the song “Khymos” by the band Food

Just posted a new Digitakt-only ambient piece:

really discovering that I love the bit reduction feature, after basically never using it since I got the Digitakt. It’s wonderful for ambient stuff and sounds with long, slow attack/decay envelopes

Thanks homie :slight_smile:

This is really great, the whole thing. Really organic sounding. Did you sample a lot of the synth sounds yourself?

Thank you. Glad to hear you like it. I did sample all of the synth sounds. Mostly from a Moog Sub 37, Boomstar 5089, Juno 106, and an Analog a4. I recorded a good deal of the synth sounds as improvisation on a cassette tape and then went back through to find the bits I liked. I also did this with youtube sampling. Just have a cassette in pause/record mode, go look for samples, record them to tape, and worry about sampling the best bits to the Digitakt later. I think it adds a certain character to the sounds.

Very cool, thanks for the breakdown. I just scored a 4 track myself for coloring/processing samples for my Digitakt.

Awesome! It is a lot of fun and a four track really does open up a lot of different ways to process samples. I like adjusting the pitch control on the four track very slightly as I am sampling into the Digitakt. It can give samples a really woozy sort of texture.

For me, it also helps to separate the sampling from the sequencing. It is nice to have dedicated time to sampling rather than just grabbing a few sounds from your phone and then begin sequencing. I would put these restrictions on myself where I would fill up 3 tapes of material before sampling it into the DT to begin composing.

Which four track did you get?
