Great track @substan. Glad to hear the ST can sound this solid

Thanks for the feedback! From a guy coming from an Electronic Dub Band, I’m honoured.

Was trying to see if Syntakt’s DVCO could do something James Holden-ish. I don’t think I succeeded here but I was satisfied that with more care put into sound design, p-locks and LFOs adjusting detune, balance, filter stuff, overdrive, and osc config, you could get something pretty lively and gnarly.

Lovely drum sound also. What machines are the hat/cymbal and the snare?

Thanks!
More information than you asked for, but:
The cymbal is the analog cymbal machine (oh classic) layered with cy alloy.
oh classic has some overdrive, I changed the noise color, added some low pass, and a free running random lfo on decay.
cy alloy has a sine wave lfo modulating overdrive. I think all I did was adjust the decay and apply a tiny bit of lpf.
The analog hat is running into the fx track and gets pseudo-sidechained along with the dvco bass lead. There’s also a hld random lfo applied to the analog filter.
The snare is a digital sd vintage layered with an analog sd classic.
sd vintage has a bit of pitch sweep, punch applied, longer decay, slightly adjusted harmonics and whatever fcmp is, max overdrive, resonant lpf, and hld random lfo applied to inharmonics.
sd classic has a longer decay, added snap, longer noise decay, louder noise level, and 75% overdrive, and an hld random lfo on filter frequency.
I lowered the volume on everything to get them to maybe blend a bit better, but probably not well enough listening back.
The kick is BD Modern.

Thanks for the rundown. 
Thanks for this, very Sphonglelesque, great vibe, nice composition!!
And another one that sounds great on phone speakers as well.
My go to so far is to record midi data from OP-Z have the FX channel on the same Channel as the kick, that way Tge fx VCA and Filter EG follows the kick. Then leave the kick out of the FX block and go to town…

This thread is non-stop inspirational 
Anyone saying the Syntakt doesn’t “sound good” has simply not listened to the incredible variety here, all with one thing in common: these tracks slap.

I haven’t been making stuff with drums for a while so Syntakt has felt like a nice escape. I won’t clog this thread with all my random experiments, but I had never done a performance with mutes before… and there’s a few clumsy moments here, but I wanted to see if I could use all the tracks and build something coherent.
Just one 64 beat pattern, all audio straight form Syntakt, no additional processing.

GREAT Music all over !
its stunning to see the whole diversity of the Music, and also the diversity of the sounds,
the people are coming up with.
one wish:
It would be much appreciated if people who do some mastering in the computer would make some more notes than just: “added some mastering in the PC”.
it would help to distinguish better the differences in tonal appearance.

Here’s my first track on the Syntakt: Music for Algorithms #7 || Elektron Syntakt - YouTube
All mixing done in the box and recorded the analog stereo output. Just very minimal EQ in the DAW, no compression.

I really love your sound design! You’re one of the reasons, I picked up Elektron boxes.
