Digitone From Scratch 6: We IDM Now

But not really IDM.
Let's make a sequence from scratch on the Elektron Digitone and then perform with it!
The Elektron Digitone is a 4-part, 8-voice FM synthesizer groove box with amazing diversity in sound and playability.

Thank you for watching. My name is Jeremy, and this is Red Means Recording. I've been making music for a few decades now, and this channel is a place to make music and to talk about the tools and techniques to make music with. We'll use synths, drum machines, modular gear, and software.

I have music as "Jeremy Blake" on all the major services:

very inspiring 🌱

If you don't end your session with "Ctrl All, " did you even have a session at all? Love it as always!

[CatnipGawd]

I love your videos… Been lurking since the OP-1 days. Happy to see you still putting in work. 👑

Every single time you post one of these I go back and play with my Digitone. I’m just reminded what an amazing instrument it is. I haven’t paired it with my Zoia Euroburo yet, so I think that has to be my next playtime. Thanks for all you do here. So inspiring!

[Timbrrrdoodle]

Love these vids. Thanks Jeremy. The Digitone is the most inspiring piece of music gear I’ve ever owned

randomly modulating the release time on a track with two-note polyphony is such an awesome idea that works so well

thank you so much jeremy / these digitone videos rule

Wow, did not expect to hear Working for a Nuclear Free City namedropped today. "Je Suis Le Vent" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Heard it in a bar when I was moving across the US and had to ask the bartender the song title. Excellent video!

I did a remix of England by Working for a nuclear free city for a competition of their label around 12 years ago. I think they wanted to give the winner an LP of their new album and as I was the only one who submitted a remix, I was confident in winning. Never heard back from anyone though. Maybe the remix was bad or they were disappointed in the turn out, who knows.
Anyways, great track, Jeremy!

7:28 - whoa indeed! Extraterrestrials entered the studio. Good vibes🙌🏼

[SilenceandTheUnwinkingMinds]

It was great to see your process on this one, I love the final result. I think the Digitone may be a future investment for me, been trying to round out my Eurorack set up with some polyphony. This could be the ticket.

this is so fucking good - digitone is killer in the hands of someone with talent
