What a charity shop find this was. Easily will be sampled to stick in the digitakt

For some reason I made a video where I play through a rough sketch of a new song I'm currently making in the synthwave-style. Melodic parts are mainly finished, but drums needs some more work.
https://video.desolationpark.se/new_song_2025_june_rough_sketch/
I think the main reason was technical curiosity to try out #Hyper8 (a self hosted static site generator for video), but it led to gaining motivation to continue working on this song. You never know which things leads to other things...
On contrary, what I like working with the #Elektron #Digitakt and #Digitone is their #large #friendly #displays that are so easy to look at. Elektron does not use the latest technology, the screens are not OLED or super high-resolution but are clear and well readable. I usually lower the LED and screen levels on my digi boxes because these are even too bright.
Fun fact, #Digitakt #mk1 is a #stereo #instrument, despite what the synthfluencers say (and the entire elektronauts forum seem to believe). Yes, it can only record or play back #mono #samples but these can be positioned in the stereo #panorama as you desire to. If needed, it can also play stereo samples if converted to two mono tracks and hard-paned to left'n'right accordingly.
Took some of my stranger sound patches on the Super Gemini synth for a spin. The sounds resonated some Caribbean vibes so I had to follow :) I used the Digitakt II to sequence and sample the synth, which with 16 stereo tracks actually works quite well for arrangements, though it would be even simpler to use had it polyphony.
Vendredi 21 mars 22h, j'aurai l'immense plaisir d'être à @radioprun pour ISS, l'émission des musiques planantes et atmosphériques sur le 92 FM !
Je jouerai un live de lac noir en direct et viendrai avec quelques morceaux qui me sont chers pour discuter musique avec @hervee_duchene, @timtimcf et toute l'équipe.
Vive les fréquences modulées et à vendredi !

The results of watching some drumming tutorials and applying to the drum-machine. Pretty happy with the results. Attached are three short clips from my Jamuary song "Star" demonstrating the new fills.
Had a bit of trouble finding three toms that fit together from the #DigiTakt's factory sounds. Perhaps I should try to get a soundpack 🤔
The tutorials by Demonic Sweaters that I learned from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwJZ7Zv6MEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4t7q2sPoa4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT6g7ond6Xk

JAMUARY 2025 Day 30 (one)
One more day! Is it cheating if your single instrument is a Digitakt? I limited myself to factory samples to keep it simple but there is still a lot the box can do. Forgot the compressor though!
#Jamuary2025 day 15 https://desolationpark.se/jamuary-2025/15/
Haven't been motivated the last couple of days, but today I made something that I'm pretty satisfied with.
Continuing experimenting with with databending samples, but more focus on melody, with the samples as percussion and background effects
All percussion samples except the kick are sourced from data (Amiga disk-images and trackermusic modules, like last time) and sequenced with the #Digitakt. Melodic parts played on the #Digitone.
Replacing 3 mixers with a brand new #Tascam Model 24 and loving the cleaner workflow. Proper gain staging per synth and 200% fewer dirty connections has the setup sounding great for the first time in a long time.
A quick demo with #digitakt #x0xb0x and #juno106 - https://music.sqweeb.net/share/sFpiGGXFSG#/
I've set the intention of spending at least one hour each day on making music. The last two days I spent that just messing around with my #Digitakt, first day felt more productive, yesterday nothing seemed to work out. But I realized it doesn't matter if it doesn't result in any music I want to keep, making mistakes and experimenting are just as important. I do hope to get to a point where I can release some music on Bandcamp though, but that's at least a few months away. #musicProduction
#Jamuary2025 day 7
Inspired by @reillypascal 's post (link below) about creating noise-samples from data, I made a sample from an Amiga Workbench disk image and used as rhythm-track for this little tune: https://desolationpark.se/jamuary-2025/7/
The variations are made by playing with the #Digitakt 's sample playback machines.

"The second day of #Jamuary, Desolation gave to me, an FM-flute in a #bonkWave tree."
When I told my partner I was doing #jamuary2025 she compiled a list of words for inspiration. Today's word is "tea". I started by recording water boiling, thinking I would make musique concrete or something. But ended up using it as a noisy backdrop for a nice melody. Everything else is made with factory sounds (a bit tweaked) of the #Digitone and #Digitakt

Uploaded new modular/digitakt sketch. Experimenting with some synth lines piped into Beads to make a granular ambient background.
