Impressive.
Did you actually create all the material for that set on the Volca?

Rest happens ITB. I feel like I have nailed the setup for my needs. Whatever I buy from here on is for inspiration or to fight boredom. Really happy with the outcome at the moment.

Absolutely love how you’ve done that video with the rave in the background and nice tunes as well.

My current techno setup:

Gear: OT + DN + DT

FX1: DIG delay for Digitakt (super concise/transient defined delays, easy control because of the the two separate delays with different tempo signatures)
FX2: Empress Reverb is great for Digitone partly because of the reverb+delay, that has dedicated low/high pots, which I use to hone in on different voices of the DN (f.e. only delaying bass or lead sound).
FX3: Strymon Timeline on OT Cue Out, together with a simple Polara reverb. Some doubts with the Timeline, less control on high/low pass for a master-FX send. Sometimes I feel the delays, even on full volume, are not that loud or defined. (as opposed to DIG for example)

Most recent addition: Heat. So far not understanding all the possibilities, but already helping my sound a lot. Which can be a bit too clean for what I’m aiming for, with DT and DN both being very high-fi/clean sounding.
And a cheap second hand but nice sounding Soundcraft mixing desk (EPM8)

Most recent example of a track with this setup below. Cheers!

Try enabling the global setting for Kill Dry mode. Might help if you’re using it in a Send/Return type routing.

Try the Master drive setting on the DN. It does really nice things ;).

I tend to define it as electro with a variable tinge of industrial/EBM.

Brilliant,
kind of puts in perspective some of the discussions we have around here. I should probably bookmark this video and run it every time I think I need more stuff.

Fairly simple set up, I just record a stereo mix from this into a DAW, as if it was a tape machine. I have an Ensoniq DP/2 in the shop, the only other thing I want is some kind of rack digital synth or sampler.

i like mostly to dub anything that makes noise with a allen heath zed 10 mixer + some 20€ delaypedal and reverb on the sends. usually i put the reverb and the delay on own channels in the mixer because i like the rumbling and swelling type of techno. just fill up the channels on the mixer with different grooveboxes/synths etc. and jam it out. sometimes i just like to code stuff on one of the elektrons. So my setup change all the time but for straight on jamming dunkel techno anything that can loop goes (cheaper is better). GLAD MIDSOMMAR ALLIHOPA och BRÄNN INT NER STÅNGEN FÖ FAN
