Oh yeah, bet that works super well on the DT as well. I definitely need to use the DT more as a "synth" in the future as the capabilities are awesome

Love it! Just got a Digitone recently and so far it's main job has been as a drum machine. Thanks for the video!

Honestly it's never occurred to me to do sound design with just the basic sine wave, but makes total sense for a kick! Great video

Hey Michael, thanks a lot for the great feedback. Much appreciated! 💚

Something i'd like to add (and don't think ive seen you mention, my apologies if you did) is to set the lfo to a fixed tempo of 120 so it stays the same in different projects with different bpms

Very Nice video with great hints for FM Kick. The Digitone can get a very huge range of kicks especially with those harmonics you can injects. Nice one Miles ! Nice to see you bro

Hey William, Thanks a bunch for joining the premiere, great to hear that you find it useful. And yes totally agree, the range of kicks you can get out of it is very big and it's a lot of fun crafting them. Similar to other sounds on the DN there are a lof of sweet spots here.

Thank you, Miles! Sound design, especially on FM, is a very interesting theme!

Great tutorial. I would like to know if you use percusive or drums sounds on the digitone when you are combining with the Digitakt?

@MilesKvndra

Жыл бұрын

Hey Sebastian, thank you! When I'm using both devices together I'm using the Digitone only for melodic stuff: T1 is bass, T2/T3 are usually layered arps/pluck sounds and T4 is for leads and/or chords. When I want a percussive sound from the Digitone in the arrangement I usually sample it to the Digitakt and then use it there.

Kicks sound way better on the Tone than the Takt.

@MilesKvndra

Жыл бұрын

Hey Mark, I actually never tried to craft a kick from scratch on the Takt. But can imagine the Tone being way more flexible in many ways.

For people that use both DT & DN it could be interesting to explore creating layered kicks in the DN using unison layers, for example a track generating the click, another the body of the kick and another one the tail, and then sampling them on your DT as one sound. Just an idea. Great video as always Miles.

With the Digitakt it is also cool to have the different parts of the kickdrum on different tracks, that way you can tweak them individually and then use the built-in recorder to record the master track and hence create cool new sounds :)

Hey Carlos, thanks for the hint as this is a really nice idea. Have seen this technique with samples (like Nagy explains it) but not with synthesizers. Could be a nice idea to explore. :)

Cheers Roy, happy to hear that. Hmm good question - the only pedal I own is the Microcosm and this works absolutely great with the Digitone, especially for ambient and glitchy elements. But apart from that the Digitone’s internal effects sound pretty good I have to say!

Thx for that great tutorial. But one little remark: wouldn‘t it be better to use the lfo, decoupled from the bpm? Otherwise the sound should change relative to pattern speed?

Hey Kaspar, that actually is a pretty good call. I usually make music in the similar tempo (somewhere around 120 bpm) but with your approach it definitely translates better to slower/quicker tempos. Thanks for that!
