#Digitakt late #Jamuary entry

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.

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

I actually made a whole ass track with my Digitakt sequencing my eurorack gear. Feeling pretty good about it. Slowly, but surely, making progress with the Digitakt.

As of tonight I finally have my #Digitakt sending midi out to my East Beast and West Pest, which then sends Gate/CV to the rest of my #eurorack stuff. I had an absolute blast. I *finally* have a great way to sequence all of my eurorack gear and it's so much fun.

#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.

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.

I want to hear about your Digitakt workflow. The only similar machine I've ever used was a headless M8 Tracker. I really liked the M8 workflow, and was heavily considering an M8 Model:02, but couldn't nab a preorder.

Writing a song on the M8 is easy: create a pattern for a track, save it to a slot. Arrange saved patterns, done.

With the DT you are saving all tracks with each pattern, so it's harder to arrange individual tracks, but maybe I'm missing something?

Bad: The #digitakt I bought used the other day has the (apparently well-known) "random click of death" issue. It will just "click" and then "click" and "click" some more, totally at random, doesn't matter whether something is playing or not.

Good: Seems like #elektron is honoring their 3-year warranty just based on the device itself, doesn't matter that I bought it used, doesn't matter who the original owner was.

Sad: Now I'll have to wait for a few weeks before getting it back.

New live set-up — trying the Perfourmer into Eurorack, not had the courage to turn the volume up yet.

Just got a #digitakt 1.
Are there any tips, tricks, or suggestions that I should know or that anyone would like to share?
