Gee, Auxien, you're so damn helpful as always That's a seriously impressive album you posted, thank you for the insight and the amazing tunes, I'm really really loving it. Trying to decide between Rytm and Machinedrum. Might just go with Machinedrum because I'm poor but I think I see some Elektron in my future. Either that or an Octatrack, I could see layering samples with the right timbres in a percussion-synthesis-minded way, if that makes sense. I like samples, organic sounds like wood, birds, and forest noises. This far in my process I've been keen to using an almost equal mix of samples and synthesis, so I can see myself getting a MD or Rytm and getting an Octa on top of that. Like a spoiled brat child I am.... Just out of curiosity, what was your set up for that album? You say it's all hardware and live, I'm really curious to know how you put all that together! Or if you're not keen on talking shop too much, I'm just interested in the thought process itself.

Holy shit guys, both of those tracks are mad. Love it. Definitely seeing the versatility shine in the Rytm, I'd be interested to hear some MachineDrum only tracks in that same genre/feel to get an idea of that too, but the rytm is looking pretty good to me. Hm. Thank you. I've really enjoyed getting unorthodox sounds out of the microtonic, so if you have the opinion that machinedrum and rytym are just as/more flexible than microtonic in terms of sound synthesis then damn, I'm in. I'm definitely looking for something that I can push into the range of doing 80-100% of a track in-the-box. I like to see how much I can squeeze out of Microtonic and have gotten good results.

lel I have that same fucking Arc'teryx jacket. ami iddumyet

Bumping just because this video is so damn good.

Note to self: Stop using voice-to-text to post on watmm. So many typos...

Been really enjoying using the Microtonic VST, has anyone else used it? I found it it's approach to drum synthesis really intuitive, easy to wrap my head around but also full of potential. Isthere anyone out there who owns that machinedrum or a Rytm who can tell me if the synthesis engines for either of those machines are as intuitive and versatile as microtonic? not super into the 909 sounds or traditional drum sounds really looking for a more experimental approach although I'm not averse to using classic drum sounds.. and that's with the maker tonic seems great at. The thing is, it's also greatfor experimental techniques. I'm also really interested in polyrhythms, and I don't know if machine gun is capable of this, but it's not a dealbreaker.

excellent! Here's the edged weapons instructional video in full; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ZpyKSmgdE Welp, looks like I'm never gonna be a cop. Thank you.

Aye no Ov know raisin y the nupowerg dreeson sh

Sometimes I think automated complexity (dblue glitch, trig conditions, overuse of step multipliers etc) is the end of good electronic music/idm but at the same time maybe it's just another tool that will be used wisely in the hands of the right artists. Just wish I could find some proper good glitches every now and then.

I think someone took a magnet and put it on watmm because I'd anyone else experiencing thread leakage/bleed-over?? This must be the Mandala affect right?

wow it worked thank you. What about snare rushes though? also that really fast drum thing where it's all rearranged drum samples... what synth does that

how do you make songs all glitchy? like what button does that? Only asking because some mod on ekt won't take me seriously

Thanks for clearing that up. I figured it was more likely to be routed like that but I wasn't sure. Also nix the question about the spatializer on the DT, don't know why I thought it had one. Maybe a ping pong delay with an extremely short duration could imitate it.

Does either the OT or DT have per-step effects? As in, oh, I want to parameter lock a reverb on one particular step on one particular track, is that possible? Couldn't quite find an answer for this on google. It's not that big of a deal to but it would be cool. There are ways to imitate the effect though. Leaning toward the OT for the long samples and stereo capabilities. How is the DT's stereo widener? Is it pretty nice or gimmicky? It just looks like a more complete machine, better as a standalone unit, like you could use it by itself to make deep, fully-fledged tracks. Unless anyone finds that they use the DT in this way without problems... Also, I'm a little confused about how patterns and kits seem to be linked on the DT? How tedious/annoying does this prove to be?

There's a reason the prices are so different - the Octa is for sure a deeper machine, however personally I prefer limitations and immediacy over menu diving and having too much potential options. Just depends what you are looking for from it? Is it going to be your master/brain or just another instrument? In terms of the polyrhtyms and seperate track lengths - pretty sure Digi can do those fairly simply song mode - non on the Digi as far as i'm aware, but that doesn't stop you from just changing patterns on the fly, or potentially sending CC messages to change them. never really saw much use for song mode myself Yeah, right now I've been playing rhythm section via samples with some guitarist friends, making up song progressions and whatnot. The OP-1 is good for this but I think the step-based editing (parameter locks?) could open a some good possibilities for working with real musicians as it allows for more flexibility in a sequence and how the rhythm feels as it goes, and I don't have to awkwardly deconstruct and reconstruct a sequence to keep the rhythm from going stale. I also look into it as it seems like a nice semi-closed loop sample editing system. The OP-1 is a nice jack of all trades, but by no means a beast of sampling due to the bad microphone and the shallow sequencer engines

no polyphony, eh? But there is polyphony when using the tracks separately, right? Because on videos it seems as though you can have a long samples playing on one track and short samples playing on others and they aren't cutting each other off. I suppose that's not technical polyphony. Also, I'm going to take deep look at both of the manuals, but if anyone can answer quickly how deep is the song writing potential of each box? I've heard Digitakt does not have a song writing mode in the way that the Octa track does. I'm also curious about the potential for setting different sequence lengths for each individual track. Say, I want a 12 step sequence to be layered with a 16 step sequence, is that easily done? And how good is it with polyrhythms? Say I want a 4/4 drum beat with triplet hi hats, or a 6 step triplet rhythm running with a 12 step 16th note rhythm? The Octa track seems like a deeper machine in general I'm just wondering if it's really worth the price difference.

I've gotten pretty annoyed with the sampling/sequencing methods on the OP-1. Would someone recommend the DT over the OT if I'm looking for a supplement/replacement?

I think We Are The Music Makers kinda sounds like Pure Imagination... I don't know why. The first lead synth riff.

That has to be one of the scariest videos I've ever seen. His attempts to grab the cable as he was speeding along make the panic so palpable. Fuck that was so nerve-racking.

Flashbulb does music production videos now guys He seems like a nice guy
