Who Isn't Doing Ambient/Experimental?

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys
#1

I hope this doesn’t come off as mean spirited or condescending, it’s not meant that way at all, but as a digitone owner who loves rave, dnb, breaks, etc. I’m starving to hear folks that use their digitone for sounds other than ambient drones and atmospheric percussion pieces and movie soundtrack vibes. I love aggressiveness and party vibes, etc. Overall, I’ve only found one guy that consistently makes tunes on it that are up my alley (The Janitor), even though he doesn’t feature the digitone much…

So the question is, WHERE’S THE DIGITONE WHISTLE CREW? :slight_smile: Translation: If you know of sick dancy tracks on the digitone only (or paired with an effects box), please share links!

And if there’s not a lot out there, what gives? I came for Michael Bay vibes and everyone’s doing Chris Nolan mood pieces! :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, again, props to the Janitor for doing sick dnb on the digitone, here’s my favorite of his digitone jams.

I actually made these two songs entirely on a digitone. Wouldn’t call them experimental or ambient, but some people might disagre

Synthesizing vocals is one of the top uses of digitone. Expert level

YLVA is pure gold. Also, shoutout to his max4live devices, very useful to start ideas on the Digitone.

Excellent name for a label :sunglasses:

The ambient label would be called ‘Don’t Techno For An Answer’

heh, well, I certainly did a lot of sexy robot drones when I first got my DN but now I’m in a sort of post-punk/synth-pop duo and the DN is my only synth. Doing bass and “keys” and drums on various songs.
