Once again 0-Day Sysex to you with a collection of open source tracks, with sysex and all. This time they are all made (by me) with a single Digitone and explores a dark and harsh, sometimes even lofi, side of a unit usually known for its pristine sound. No Heat needed for this … Or?
Awesome track. Open source music is such a neat idea. It completely turns the typical legal minefield of music upside down, and helps further build a community. Moves the focus from business back to art.
Just wait and we’ll all share a good laugh when the track shows up sampled on some hit pop song!
@Ess Really interesting! I havent unlocked the mysteries of the DN overdrive yet, but you have made it sound lovely.
Questions- did you use stock presets for drum sounds? And did you apply distortion as part of the writing process, or apply it after the patterns were completed?
Pretty much all the sounds are unique except for like some pad sound.
Yeah, it was composed with the distortion as part of the process. The sound design relies heavily on how that works, and how the balance of the tracks and the frequencies of the individual sounds play into that.
Had a blast playing around with these today, amazing stuff! I experimented with multi-tracking in OB and just using the analog outs, crazy what a difference it made!
Exceptional work and a valuable resource for sound design on the DN/DK
This is some fantastic work, loved the stream. I’ve been listening to this since you made it available on BC. Loaded it into my digi and its amazing to be able to see your workflow on this machine.
I’m most hopefully for future streams and album releases. Much thanks for this.
This album is unreal. I love heavy (yet tasteful) application of distortion and overdrive. I am blown away that this is only Digitone. Also – if Ess can make this masterpiece with just a Digitone, then I surely have too much gear. Time to sell it all and lock myself in a room with Digitone. High on my list now is exploring the master overdrive / distortion. Speechless. Thanks for this.
