How I use a Digitone & Nord Drum | CONFORCE

FYI, I am not sponsored by brands I do this out of enthusiasm!

For my upcoming album Manifold as Versalife on (2020 vision), Meoko magazine asked me to make a self produced studio vlog for the first time of my life. I dedicate it to the Elektron Digitone and Nord Drum that are currently on my desktop. It's just a simple live jam showing you how I use these synths side by side. Small setups are very inspirational and very effective and I hope I can inspire you to do this also in the near future. I go a little more in dept on the Digitone's functionality. I've added info slides along the way to further explain details.

It's a first attempt to make a simple educational inspirational studio video. No Hollywood ambitions were involved. Thanks for watching and please put your love and hate in the comment section. If you talk ugly, the internet cops will come after you so please keep it positive. Much love.

What a treat to see you do this for a big fan of your work such as I! Would love to see lots of workflow videos from you.

Holy sh*** 2 hours ago i discovered your amazing productions and you you just made your first studio video. Perfect

[benearle]

Amazing... thank you so much! Been a fan of your productions for years, so it's a great bonus to have you making patches for my latest piece of gear! Will pick them up for sure.

[orlandonavarro]

thank you for making these kind of videos. keep them coming!

HUGE fan of your work Boris, keep it coming!

This is great. Loved the production value with the illustrative elements, cutaways etc. Solid narrative flow and good explaination which was easy to follow.

And of course I love the music and insights into your workflow. Thanks for making this. Would love to see more 👍

Big fan. Enjoyed this video, I use a few pieces of Elektron gear and this tipped me over into getting the Digitone. Purchased the sound pack, looking forward to digging into it.

[jeffhoback]

That's a great sounding sequence! I have both of these devices (Nord Drum 3P) and they both sound incredible.

[deepnlow]

This is GREAT! Would love to see your workflow of how you record your machines to build up a track.

[patrizio]

Just subscribed. Very informative video demonstrating that a lot can be gained from a small set up. Looking forward to more.

[jennifertrezza]

Thanks for this! Actually inspired me to dig out and rethink my Digitone as I didn't really bond with it when I first got it.

[drstupid]

Mate this video is epic. Big respect. Thank you.

[Katmat]

Nice video! Would love to know a bit about your recording process? Do you sequence an entire track or Jam to stereo and edit after?

[kiwibirch]

Thanks for making this! was really fun to watch, Please make many more :)

[DragDealer]

Hey is there a way to clock the nord drum 1 on r to change the bpm on the Nord drum demo song? 😊

[thedrumunkey]

Nord drum’s synth engine is amazing. If you play percussion, the expressiveness of the velocity etc are a really killer feature. Get a 3p for all in one.

Just what i Boris in the studio for 10 mins just to hit home how shit i am at making music.

[toastingbread]

Brilliant stuff! The digitone hasn't been on my radar untill now! I'd love to see a vid with pad sounds - your track 'void' sounds so rich and lush I'd love to know a bit about that and processing on your hardware? Thanks for making these :)

[tendingtropic]

Great video! subscribed! One question: when sequencing the Nord drum with the digitone, if I understand correctly: you used a midi track on digitone, assigned it to the midi in channel from the nord drum, and then used different midi notes to trigger the 4 nord engines right? so if you would want to make a 'full' drum sequence (with a lot of steps), you'd need several midi tracks on the digitone for this? (one for hihat, one for kick, etc)
