Digitone From Scratch 2 - Cinematic Synthwave?

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 groovebox 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:

Random comment on older video, watched this again and your excitement when you stumble on the perfect settings with unexpected harmonics and it just sounds amazing is infectious. Hope you have a nice day!

It's disgusting how fun you make the process, and how damn good the end result is

"You're a good friend"

It makes me feel somewhat better that I'm not the only one who makes friends with inanimate objects.

Ive been longing for demo like this about Digitone in synthwave/darkwave, so thank you!

[MrDenme]

Hey man, unbelievable. Thanks for these awesome from scratch tutorials, wow! I am quite new to digitone, this is gold!!

[kenb]

OMG ! @19:00. Genius pattern. To me this is exactly the sweet spot of the DN - real time sound design as you are producing. Then CTRL ALL for performance. Just superb - both machine and composer/performer. Great work. Love it ! 👏👍😁

Well done! The Digitone and Digitakt rarely leave my desk--I think Elektron found that magical balance between complexity and accessibility.

This is inspiring. I kind of wrote off FM since I'm a Moog sound guy but this... changed my mind.

Please keep doing these. Some of us need to learn how to synth from scratch with all the details and no magic.

The arp function is a beast. It feels very much like a sequencer you’d see in a modular set up. The ability to change the length is such a game changer for creating polyrhrythms.

Jist bought the Digitone and learnt so much with this viď. Thank you

[gorpmckrakken]

Love this Digitone series. Really showcases how to get great tones and timbres out of this little beast.

[SethBoyer]

Every time you make a new Digitone video it sends me into an all-day spiral of rediscovering why it's my favorite piece of kit. Appreciate the hell out of it~

[chateautemp]

Was it this one or another - 'No rules'. No rules, but there are concepts - and, man alive, you convey those so well.

I just got my digi Toné! Can’t wait to try this out, Thanks Jeremy!

[marcoam]

It’s always a delight when you grab us by the hand and make us jump so deep into these explorations. Can’t wait to receive mine next week. Big hugs!!

[Timbrrrdoodle]

Thank you for this Jeremy! I love you and the Digitone

[megus_music]

Your Digitone videos sold it to me last year. Can't wait to reunite with it (it's sailing across the ocean now)

[brianbrill]

So cool. I just got one of these and am eager to not just learn it, but master it. I was amazed at what I got from it the first session, so it can only get better when I actually understand the thing. Thanks Jeremy!

My digitone keys arrives in a week, and I'm putting together a list of sound design videos to get me started. This looks like it's going to be top of the list. Thanks Jeremy, this is beautiful.

This is why DN is the best synth of the century. Love your work man.
