Oh, I see. So the chord changes were not sequenced, but played in? Is that right?

Yeah that is great and the way it should be. M:C’s retrig unfortunately doesn’t start synced.
(Still on OT you can set trig quantization to 16th notes so it should start synced that way, right?)
Improv only DN + Reverb

My post didn’t generate any engagement so posting in the thread instead:
This is one of my Twitch live streams. Before I played two Digitone only livesets at work, this stream is similar to those but adds a Digitakt for more improvisation.
Connections are pretty simple:
- Digitone sends clock to Digitakt
- Digitakt sends audio to Digitone
- Digitone sends audio to Interface
Video is quite primitive:
- Old laptop with integrated camera using OBS to stream and record video to hard drive.
Set structure:
- Digitone with 8 main patterns plus 3 transition ones, the rest of the transitions are just moving to the next pattern. Basic drum sounds are presets, the rest is mostly my own sounds.
- Digitakt is used as a drum machine with 909 samples and it’s programmed on the fly for extra percussion.
- The last 30 minutes are improvisation with modifications over the last pattern until it becomes something different.
- To keep things moving in the Digitone patterns I use muting-unmuting, playing with the FM parameters and filter, changing envelopes, changing effect settings, adding steps on the fly, changing steps to have random probability and p-locking steps on the fly.
- To make the most out of Digitone tracks, there’s typically sound-locking of the bass drum to use the rest of the track for a different sound, some tracks have the trick of microtiming a step all the way back to make two sounds almost at the same time.
- To keep things moving in the Digitakt, I create patterns on the fly, mute-unmute, add p-locks, add random probability to steps, change tuning and effects.
Future steps:
- Improve transitions, maybe adding some looping device? Octatrack seems useful.
- Improve video recording. Need to find an external webcam, also improving lighting probably helps to increase video quality.
- Come up with new tracks, I’ve been playing these ones for a few months so it would be good to rotate.

Even though there other 2 other instruments, they’re both going through the Digitone inputs so technically this is still Digitone only! 
Some warbly lofi Sunday vibes:

Hi folks. Did a slightly scrappy console gamey hiphop jam on the Digitone (main mix output through a compressor).

it‘s so nice isn‘t it?
I played with it the whole week after not touching it for a while and was reminded how great it sounds. my fav elektron with the OT so far

Yep. Stand with OT+DN planned, with some other gear above.

I’m thinking about a digitakt again, just because they fit together so nicely
But it’s not reasonable, OT does all I need from the DT

Just an idea…
Maybe I’ll develop later.

Very nice! I’ve been eyeing a Volante myself to pair with the Digitone, so this is perfect!
Can you use it to saturate the sound a bit?

Great, beautiful and spacey 
I really like that lead bass.

I’d got today, so I haven’t got much time to test, but I understood the wears and mechanics controls add artifacts like pitch fluctuations and drive… but they are so subtle fx, even if you go to max. and I think the saturation is a little bit.
Anyway I like so much that kind of subtle fx on the sound. I don’t regret for the moment, that is what I searched it.

Thank you very much! The Volca Keys does a wonderful job on basslines!
Nice, looking forward to hear/see more!

Acidish test, 1 bar pattern.

I guess for saturation tape, it’s more specific strymon deco, if you look for true saturation tape sound. Volante is so far of deco saturation fx.
