Thank you, @Electromatic! Making music on the Digitone takes longer since you have so much control over each synth patch. I’m happy with how the patches turned out 
Just came across this on youtube’s and commented there…! This is excellent…you have extracted so much more than most out of the digis…you should be proud…

You drop these at such a steady pace! Where do you find all the time? Sounding great!

Thank you very much @Adam9 and @mr_bernard! Sometimes I sort of become obsessed with stuff. and do only that for weeks at a time. That obsession has never lasted as long as now with the Digitakt and Digitone. I also have a 50 minute train ride to work, so that’s a great time to work on a few patches or melodies!

That’s convenient! Do you have power on the train, or a portable battery kind of thing? In Texas, we use cars everywhere. I’d love to have some music time during my commute.
Yeah, definitely. I was worried that a 1 hour and some minutes travel time (including walking) would suck when I was used to a 3 minute bike ride to work. Sitting on the train is relaxing, so that helps!
There’s power on the train itself. I’ve been looking for a battery that can power the DT and/or DN, but since the train has power outlets and I only can only fit one machine on my lap, I probably don’t need a battery just yet.
Sound design can be hard during the noisy parts of the ride, though 
Awesome! I Love those Toms and the snare in the Break. Melody just great.

Thank you, @plusn! The tom is a kick preset that I made more ‘tommy’, because there was only 1 tom preset on my Digitone
Do dom, do Dom, do Dom, Dom dommm

After the previous video I hit 1000 subscribers. Thank you very much, everyone! The comments have been nothing but incredibly positive and encouraging, and interacting with you on reddit and elektronauts has been a lot of fun. Looking forward to sharing more tracks!
I read in the manual today about the algorithms on the Digitone. My only experience with FM so far is a VST with a mod matrix, which is fairly straight forward compared to these algorithms, in my opinion! I was trying to figure out how to make a “two-saw-oscilators-an-octave-apart”, which ended up as a bass instrument, and then I saw there was an overdrive knob on the master page, then…
This track happened. I couldn’t come up with a new melody for the bassline, so I took the melody of one of my older songs called “Beautiful and Maddening Rift”. I was stuck on it for a long time and considered just putting it in an “Abandoned Loops” video, but decided against it.
I have never fumbled so much while recording a video! Made a lot of false starts because I had forgotten to reset my patterns between takes many times, and there are sub pages for every menu. Or maybe it’s because I was tired when recording.
All audio is coming form the Digitone. I added a limiter in post, but with the overdrive knob on the master page on the Digitone I barely nudged the gain knob on the limiter!
I made an alternate soundcloud page back when I was playing Star Conquest and made a few tracks inspired by that game. The original version of my “Beatiful and Maddening Rift” track is here: https://soundcloud.com/user-935464905/beautiful-and-maddening-rift
Thanks for listening!

Thank you, @Adam9! I plan on putting together 30 minutes of new music into an album as soon as I have that. It’ll likely also contain my Digitakt stuff that have only been uploaded as videos so far 
Love the bass tone! That snare sound is a real turn off for me though.
I just got a digitone myself, currently making sketches to learn the machine. Its actually not that difficult! Very deep sound design but super fast easy sequencing. Or maybe 4 years on an octatrack has given me a head start.

Thanks, @Microtribe! Yeah, inputting notes is really easy! Making patches takes me a long time, but writing out melodies and chords is a breeze

Spent all morning making patches, then all afternoon making this track. I joined a facebook group called “Hardware jams”, and every week they have a jam challenge. This weekend’s challenge was to write a jam that represents a color. I originally chose indigo because I wanted to make something calm and detached, but it sort of became a bit more “in-your-face” when I introduced a beat. So I chose both Indigo and Red.
All audio is coming from the Digitone, with a limiter added in post.
Thanks for listening!
