OMG! LFO = 2-OP FM || Digitakt Tutorial #5

0:39 - Preparation
1:27 - Carrier & Modulator
2:53 - Fade = modulator amp envelope
3:54 - LFO p-locing
5:29 - LFO sync BPM
6:29 - Tweak further / Go nuts
8:54 - Other single cycle waveforms

In this video I show you how you can use the LFO as an FM modulator to create some cool FM sounds. This video could also be useful to get a bit of understanding about FM synthesis. The LFO of the Digitakt is a wonderful thing and with you can create many great techno stabs while using only one single cycle waveform. Hope you enjoy!

every time I think I have the DT figured out you blow my mind with another avenue to explore. It does FM?! awesome vid.

[panskibinski]

It would be cool to see some of that older tutorials with the "new patch" 2 LFOs enabled

[MrMalthusMusic]

Cool tips! I recently acquired a digitakt and I will definitely be using this technique, thanks!

[robertsyrett]

I was just about to make a tutorial along these lines. Great job! I think it's tricks like this that make me wince when people hassle Elektron to make a new machine drum, like have you USED a digitakt? That thing is fantastic for designing drums. This same fast LFO technique can also be used to make ring-modulated sounds when you apply it to sample level and you get an even wider range of FM from the filter frequency because that parameter isn't limited to the 4 octave range of the tune parameter.


Cheers!

Good stuff Dave, really enjoying your Digitakt videos. I’ve had it since launch and it’s great to watch other people do what they do with it. Thanks for these.

I really dig your stuff but this one really blew my mind in several ways. Big up! 🙏

[settonerecordings]

pfff ongeloofelijk wat leer ik van je ...top man

[PHUNgEYE]

Great video. Got me thinking to use the midi trick to then use another LFO on the amp decay etc.

[atommachine]

Owww Tasty must try it. It would be great if they gave us a BP filter update ;) That Kick really suits you ! :

[machineagevoodoo]

Great tip! Guess nobody will see this now in 2022, but - with the 2nd LFO, can you modulate the destination of the first one?

[bobz]

Think I need to delete all my samples and start again ... great vid as always 😎

[oliviermissal]

Would be nice to know your thoughts on the 1010 music blackbox

[tatnallkennedy]

you should be using a square wave and doing the exact same thing but you don't need your lfo cycling so fast 32xBPM is fine, adjust the start, end and loop points to acheive whats known as a "Super Square" I think. Then you can copy to another track detune ever so slightly and trigger in unison, you will like this thing alot but a sine wave will not give you proper results with your otherwise perfect method. good videos thanks... crazy sounding stuff, courtesy loopop youtube video "Advanced Digitakt Tips and Tricks"

[bobz]

Learning something new again... inspirational.
How did you have the beat tracks on 4-4 and the synth track on 5-16?
UPDATE: Found it... thanks again for the great ideas 😎

[aaroninky]

real 'planetary assault systems' vibe to this. rip the cut ...
