Thanks buddy! Love the Digitakt II, brilliant machine

Thanks so much! I should still have the recordings somewhere, shall dig them out. :D

Thanks so much, it's an incredible machine and so much fun to work with!

The Alpha Base is one of the juiciest machines I've ever used!

Hi SONWU! It's an honour to have you comment on my video! The sample chains are organised by machine then kicks/snares etc. So EFM-Snares, TRX-Claps etc. I can do them different for you though if you like, won't be an issue! Shoot me a message on Bandcamp via the contact link on my page and I'll get something sorted. :)

Thank you!!

Congratulations on picking up a Virus, I'm sure you're loving it! Thanks for the kind words, sometimes I find myself hypnotised by the sounds of the Virus and have to share. :D

Thanks so much man. :)

Thanks so much, can't wait to share some new stuff soon!

I love that album. :D

Aww thanks so much, that means a lot to me!

Thank you, that means a heck of a lot to me!

Thank you! Well the +drive adds Snapshots and more capacity. It's useful but not that important. That said, I know a guy who creates and sells +drives, if you feel like upgrading. :)

@@lstlvls2521 yes actually I'd like to make that contact! Is there an email I can reach you at? I'm mostly concerned about whether I'll have issues with resampling a lot... I don't need to put my own samples on but I do want to resample in probably every pattern I make.

@@shirishsarkar Try this Discord link - it's where they discuss the +drive upgrade and engage with customers: discord.gg/yxg75JCsh3 Let me. know if there are any issues with that Discord link. :) Resampling is amazing fun on the MD.

@@lstlvls2521 bless

2024 - 35 = 1989. A good year!

Thank you! Honestly, it depends on the project. I usually put the Gain to around 32 as I like the extra grit, but for everything else I go by ear. What I found really helpful is this thread from the old Elektron Users forum: www.elektron-users.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=28&func=view&id=102275&catid=9&limit=10&limitstart=0

@@lstlvls2521 cheers <3

Thank you, that's really awesome to know! It's such a brilliant sequencer, nothing in hardware or software can compare. :D

It's sooooooo good

Hi! I'd choose the Oxi One over an SQ1 or Beatstep Pro any day but I've been playing with sequencers for quite a while... As a complete beginner I would definitely struggle with it! I guess it depends what you want to do - Beatstep Pro is a brilliant sequencer and perfect for most styles of music. I personally need something more flexible and Elektron-like and that's what the Oxi One offers, and much more. If I was a beginner I'd go for the Beatstep Pro first, just because it's super easy and fun to play around with.

@@lstlvls2521 hey thanks so much for getting back to me! So I've got my vermona drm coming in the post and a minitaur, a dfam and a bunch of volcas. I'm having a blast but some sequencing is needed. Pretty set on a bsp. Give it a year or so il want something a bit more substantial(elektron etc).

@@stewarthenson7558 Sounds good dude, enjoy your new setup! The DFAM is a beast, I love the unique workflow and happy accidents! Minitaur is so good as well, super nice in every way. Funnily enough I just picked up another Volca Keys after years of not owning one. Sounds surprisingly great, dark and gritty!

Synthesizers Anonymous - the structured and gradual process of recovery through a '12 Step' programme. :P

I'll buy that.Controlled/measured withdrawal starting with access to major synths+keyboards, gradually tapering down through FX pedals and ending up with a Casio Stylophone which the patient is blissfully happy with !Let's go...

Boom! Do you know, I've never used an Amiga, and suck at using trackers? :P

@@lstlvls2521 dawless all the way 😜

@@dyscobiskit The best sounds come from hardware. ;)

Hi DrippyDroopy! I haven't tried getting The Finger to work on standalone - I would assume it wouldn't work as it's a first-party ensemble however you getting it to show up is exciting! I have a feeling it wouldn't be possible to get it to work, but if you do manage it let me know because that would be AWESOME.

@@lstlvls2521 Hi, unfortunately it doesn't wotk. like you said it's because it's a first party ensemble. I don't understand why they wouldn't though. Maybe in an upcoming update 👍

@@drippydroopy7052 I wouldn't hold my breath for that update... But we can hope! It seems there may be difficulties getting any ensembles to work that route audio through them, maybe to do with the fact we can't get right into the settings for the ensembles on the hardware. :(

Well if it's any comfort, there's no chance you'll brick your MD with the firmware. Worst that could happen is, it won't install at all. Took me about 30 attempts with a dud MIDI hub before I got it working with the official Elektron TM-1 interface. Theres so much fun to be had with the new machines and tuning function etc. But if I had that many power outages, I'd be afraid to turn it on! Hope you have surge protection.

Ta! Such a fun machine. The endless enjoyment of parameter locks and automation recording with the knob-per-function of every control. A great combination.

Yeah man, I love that about the Perkons. It's a blank canvas which can take you to some bizarre but brilliant places seconds after you start playing it! 😊

Thank you! I love the snares on the ND2, so crunchy and satisfying!

Enjoy! I haven't tried a Coral yet but it looks amazing.

Ah thanks so much! Arcologies is waaaay fresher than me on this thing, but I'm happy to be part of the community! Brilliant machine.

To be honest I only use the Virus in Single mode!

Thank you! The funny thing is, I sold mine to fund other stuff, but now I regret it and want one again! The endless circle of obsession...

Heya Twiglet, thanks so much! Yeah you can use the Oxi One to control hardware just fine, I use it on my Virus TI2, Nord Drum 2, Maschine +... It's just brilliant, honestly. If you get one, you might feel it's a bit fiddly at first. It's definitely unique! Write things down, figure out what you want to do with it, start slow. And use the Undo button. :D

@@lstlvls2521 Yes i've ordered one from Thomann so should be here soon ! This thing looks so well made and i'm excited to think that my creative soup has just added a very tasty morsel to the menu so thanks for inspiring my choice by your input.

@@twiglet2214 Nice, congrats! Hope it arrives soon, if it hasn't already. I've been raving about the Oxi One for years now and honestly I couldn't be happier with it. The updates are constant, which is a blessing as it shows the commitment to feedback. This can be a dual-edged sword for those who want something to always reliably work the same way, but there's no requirement to update it and the updates are fantastic! Looking forward to getting stuff into the new Loop function that Manu added the other day. Take care!

Thank you!!!

Hello! Man, I would love to offer kits and patterns for the Perkons, sadly I had to sell mine to afford more stuff to sample! However, I plan on getting another one soon-ish and when I do, I'll work on this. :) In the meantime, I'm happy to send you the backup I did of my Perkons when I had it - the patterns and kits from my performance vid are on there.

@@lstlvls2521 that would be amazing, thank you so much, should I post my email address here? How are we to proceed?

Appreciate the kinds words choom! I may well do. :D

Thank you, really appreciate it! Now is a good time to pick one up. It's blown my expectations out of the water - I was expecting it to crash all the time and have barely any CPU. It did crash once - before I updated the firmware. And I did hit 100% CPU at one point but a) I was running loads of polyphonic Massive instances with reverb and b) it's a sampler so you can just sample a loop of a synth with the effects and move on!

Great feedback. Was hearing the same. Prices are a steal!

@@krazywabbit Yeah I heard good things and a lot of bad things but as you will know, the internet can be an unreliable source of info. :D Very happy with my purchase, definitely worth picking up as an all-in-one groovebox with brilliant software synths built in.

Thank you so much, very happy you like it!

Cheers geezer! Loads of these sounds have samples mixed in with the machines, most of them I reckon! That's where the juiciness of the Rytm sound comes from I reckon - machine and sample with the filter and drive. Beautiful.

Thanks so much!

Wonderful news, thank you!

Thanks for reaching out! Well, I must say I've not been asked to do 32-bit before. I am happy to sample at this bitrate, my main concern is that Bandcamp only allow uploads of 300mb, and the extra bitrate would really add up over hundreds of files. I am hoping to move my packs from Bandcamp to my own website in the future, and if this happens, I'll be happy to increase the bitrate as the 300mb size limit will no longer apply!

@@lstlvls2521yes your own website would be nice. Your portfolio is ready for it i would say. Well this whole 32bit starter with my drumlogue witch is using 32bit at 48khz. So i got interested in the floating point thing. For what i have heard. Internal sampling in Ableton is also 32bit. So i thought Lets get everything as standard and less converting as possible. So then i made the switch to standard everything to 32bit fp. And upgraded my soundcard. Most dj players accept at least 16 bit 48kHz. So converting from 32 to 16 seemed logical.

Oh yeah... Well spotted! I was working on an Alesis machine and this Akai XR10 at the same time so got them mixed up. Will fix now. Thanks so much!

@@lstlvls2521 hahahaha such things happen:)

@@CollapseReport Fixed now, thanks again! I was using the Alesis HR-16 and Akai XR10 back-to-back for a while so got them in my head as one glorious vintage device. :D

You have a good collection of sounds already - the DT and A4 are a brilliant combo! OT of course is the sampler king, though I could never get into it. That said, the digital machines of the MD would complement those well... :D

That'll be Decimort 2 and/or Sketch Cassette II. Cheers!

I agree! It's something not even Elektrons offer yet. Lets patterns breathe. :D

Hello, very good question. I had one of the first ones with the white grid buttons. However, I had to send it to Manu for repair as the MIDI out port wasn't working... To be fair I moved house one or twice while I had it so probably that shook it loose. Anyway, the black version appeared on social media and I got a new Oxi One with the black pads as apparently they can't just be dropped in kinda thing. I paid for the upgrade but it wasn't very much as it was a gesture of good will. :)

Appreciate it, thanks for watching! What would you like to see covered? It's high time I made another video.

Haha, I know what you mean. Random pattern generation is brilliant but like AI artwork it can be rather soulless... The Oxi One really does allow for funky, human-like patterns that get me grooving!

@@lstlvls2521 The humanise function is the biggest attraction for me. I come from using a VST called Phrasebox which does a similar thing - the bass notes would change with chord changes. Its a cool feature but a little fiddly in VST so for a hardward device to do it - great. I also like the HY sequencers (again VST) which the OXI seems to do well. I wonder if the OXI would play nicely with the TE KO2?

I don't use arpeggios very often in my music, what I prefer to do is modulate the arpeggio mode's Strum parameter on a Chord sequence. You end up with these lovely, musically-correct and endlessly variable sequences that conform to the chords being played. The strums, when set really slow, don't necessarily conform to regular time divisions like 8ths, 16ths etc, so you get lovely free-floating notes. Perfect for slow 'ambient' music. :)
