Buchla inspired Digitone tutorial

Voltagectrlr · March 13, 2019, 7:23am

I thought I would share this tutorial video demonstrating how to create generative Buchla inspired compositions on the Digitone.

Thanks for making and posting this video: I am going to look for the rest in the series.

Just a small note: I find (like a lot of online videos) that the volume level of the narration is much lower than the volume level of the music; could you make them more even in volume?

3 minutes in and already my favorite Digitone video. You need to do a West Coast sound pack!

I’ve been so resistant to the Digitone GAS… You’re like the cauliflower and broccoli of my gear lust.

Great video, would definitely like to see more about how you programmed the sounds too. And maybe even a wee link to where we can get your music?

Rats! That sounds great! Compelling me to get a replacement for the one I traded out

J3RK · March 13, 2019, 9:38pm

Nice! (as always)

Really dig that sound! Appreciate the share! A breakdown of the programming or even better, some patch exports, would be fantastic!

Very nice!

I’m 50% done with my west coast synthesis inspired sound pack.
It will be available next month!

Thanks!

Voltagectrlr · March 14, 2019, 6:22pm

LOL! HAHAHA that’s awesome!

Voltagectrlr · March 14, 2019, 6:26pm

I’m working on a series of tutorial videos going more in depth with how the patches are designed. I have a few shows and a panel discussion to do this month, then I’ll be in full-time youtube mode! Thanks a lot for the feedback!

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve had similar thoughts on whipping the sequencer and arp (through p-locks) into a modular-esque place… It’s a cracking machine.

Yeah this is really sweet. Please keep us posted!

Now that the Synthplex convention is over, I’ll be back in the studio finishing the Sound Pack!

jefferymac · April 13, 2019, 4:57pm

Love the tones you conjured up in this video. Looking forward to the sound pack!

Voltagectrlr · June 13, 2019, 4:22pm

I forgot to let the elektronauts the sound pack is available now!
Thanks for your ears.

Coming back to this awesome tutorial and pack!

@william_wild we should link this in the sound-packs thread!

asmartkid82 · January 28, 2022, 7:50pm

Well, thanks for resurrecting the thread as I missed if some years ago! Really amazing demo and will purchase the sound pack for sure.
I read somewhere over Elektronauts someone asking why every Digitone video sounds the same, and this proves (as if it was needed…) this is not clearly Digitone’s fault

J3RK · January 28, 2022, 8:04pm

Oooooo!!! I missed that pack! I don’t have a Digitone right now either.

It really can’t be overstated how good the OP video is. The Digitone is VERY much like having a mid-sized Buchla system in a small box.
