Very good tutorial. I wonder if anyone else jumped out of the chair as I did by the end of the video. I had my baby sleeping on another room and the background noise made me think she had woken up hahaha
You’re really good at explaining commands and value choices in a musical context - and that’s missing often in tutorials like this! I’ve learned a lot! Thanks! :)
I’ve often wondered how to create a generative music project. Thanks so much for explaining the basics and how amazing the M8 is for this specific genre.
Thanks so much! Just FYI: the note randomisation can now be done much easier with the command RNL. There's a follow up video I made on it. The "old" way still works though :-)
@@1wildrogue Legend! Yeah, I was just now watching the follow up... How bloody powerful is the RNL command?! I didn't realise this was a thing, just did a mad rush to update my M8, Deluge has been getting all the love lately 😅😬
This tutorial is fantastic! Really some great and fairly simple ideas to make generative music, been watching a lot of M8 videos waiting for mine in July and nothing really touched on this, so thanks!
I LOVE your videos. I watched this one several times and am almost able to duplicate what you showed here. I can't seem to find the PLY effect in the M8 or the manual. I thought maybe that has changed in the most recent update or, more likely, I'm just doing something wrong. Thanks again!
@@1wildrogue I thought that might be the case and will dig deeper. I'm still very new to the M8 and your videos are one of the reasons I ordered one. :)
You definitely found it by now but I think you made the same mistake as me and a lot of other people: you slept on the commands outside of sequencer FX. I assumed PLY and STA would have been in sequencer FX because that's where everything else I use even if in retrospect the "current instrument" section makes infinitely more sense for sampler parameters. It's a lot to get used to but once you do it's really cool having a command for basically every parameter. I've still barely started digging in to so much of it. I'm sure people are constantly coming up with uses for commands and tables that even Trash80 (the guy who made it if you didn't know) never considered.
I've been searching for an hour or so for someone who makes something other than chiptunes with the m8. I'm really into modulations and dirtier textures, so I was curious if a more gritty sound was possible with it.
I struggle to understand rnd and rnl commands. For example with line like that: C-3 64 80 VOL10 RNL0F I was expecting volume argument to be randomised from 0 to maximum (full range), but actually it is not happening.
13:00 - does it stay in rhythm even when the first step is skipped? Or if you add drums you will have to offset them too in order for the note to hit on the first step with the drums?
it's offset, but I'd rather not offset the drums just for this one synth. You can put the note on the first step, when you use RNL to change the pitch and not the pitch command.
Will these ever be available to purchase again, You think? I check dirty wave’s page every Monday and they’re always sold out, instantly..😒Guess, I’ll just have to wait for the next model/edition.
I pre-orded mine and got in on the 3rd go around and it took 4 months to get it. There are scalpers out there on eBay and Reverb, but I refused to support them.
So if you render down this song, every rendering will come out as a (slightly) different song, right? Make one track, render it 8 times for an album.... :D
Yeah, it's a bit of money. Considering how powerful the m8 is and that it's more or less a one man operation, you could argue it's actually priced reasonably when looking at the competition. And the existence of headless is pretty amazing, too. Hope you'll enjoy your time with it 🙂

The depth of the M8 is crazy. Such a small thing that has so much power.
Couldn't agree more!
I don't think Tim at Dirtywave is done with the updates that keep on coming.
Genius! Really great video and simple explanations. Easy to follow. :)
Wow. This is immensely helpful. I’ve only had my M8 two weeks and still wrapping my head around it. Please do more of these videos if possible.
Sure, do you have a specific topic in mind?
@@1wildrogue not sure yet. If you discover new generative ideas that weren’t covered, that would be great.
Very good tutorial.
I wonder if anyone else jumped out of the chair as I did by the end of the video. I had my baby sleeping on another room and the background noise made me think she had woken up hahaha
Oh no 😅! I did the same by the way when I edited the video. I guess we can't turn off these parent reflexes.

Thanks a lot!
@@1wildrogue Just bought your M8 EP by the way and i’m blown away by it! Keep up your good work! :)
@@chienperdu7256 sweet! Thanks a lot! Glad you like it 🙂

Great video, thank you!
Great video with good examples. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, as a new M8 owner and fan of generative music, this was very helpful. Great tutorial!
I don't even have a tracker, but this is the clearest explanation of how to use it that I've seen. I love your style, and the sounds you got!
Thanks so much, Jono!
@@1wildrogue since I made that comment I got a tracker, so I'm gonna give this tutorial a spin!
Amazing stuff, as ever ❤🎉 Thanks for sharing your process, very illuminating

I love the "and subscribe .. do what you want I don't really care" 😂. Thanks for the video.
I never know what to say at end of the video 😅. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Very good tutorial. Learned a lot. Please do more.
Will do!
Splendid information! Big thanks for sharing!
This was really really cool and helpful! I can immediately see ways to use this. I’d love to see more videos like this!
Great breakdown! Thank you very much

headphone user spotted :-D
nope, but had a guest dog that night :)
Great ! 👏👏🎶
Crazy useful video, keep it up!
Thanks for this!
Nice french dude! Merci pour ça ;-) Very good explanation, thank you for sharing 😀
Merci! 4 ans à l'école mais j'ai tout oublié 😅
@@1wildrogue Waouhhh! No! Si ça continue, je vais parler qu'en français ici ! 😆 Merci pour ces vidéos qui valent de l'or ;-)
wow... THIS!!!! thanks :)
Very cool video, and interesting approach, great stuff!
Thanks Tristan!
Such lovely work on this Rogue !
Thanks a lot, Marti!

Hey, you're right! Thanks for letting me know :-)

Thanks so much, Sean. Normally the play command should show up when you use it on a sampler instrument. It's definitely still there on my OS version.
@@1wildrogue I thought that might be the case and will dig deeper. I'm still very new to the M8 and your videos are one of the reasons I ordered one. :)
@@SeanKearney that's really great to hear! Hope you have lots of fun with it!

The link to the bundle says it has been deleted.
Sorry for that. I guess finding a free reliable file uploader is not that easy anymore. I'll upload it as soon as I find something else.
Should work now!
So after this video I made a phrase that automatically cuts up an Amen Break and now I can’t find my way out of this damn massive jungle.
Send help!
This is the way!

Pretty sure they will. The discord is a good place to get all insights on availability, etc: discord.gg/cJh6csB6
I pre-orded mine and got in on the 3rd go around and it took 4 months to get it. There are scalpers out there on eBay and Reverb, but I refused to support them.
4:24 - why not just randomize the note with RNL or whatever the command was called that randomizes notes?
3.0 was not released yet at the time. I've made a video as a follow up explaining how to do it with RNL.
@@1wildrogue aaahh, gotcha, that makes sense :)
So if you render down this song, every rendering will come out as a (slightly) different song, right? Make one track, render it 8 times for an album.... :D
yeah, if you want to 😀
Learning the headless version right now. Id like the v2 but its 650 :\
Yeah, it's a bit of money. Considering how powerful the m8 is and that it's more or less a one man operation, you could argue it's actually priced reasonably when looking at the competition.
And the existence of headless is pretty amazing, too. Hope you'll enjoy your time with it 🙂
hast du direkt bestellt ? genau das möchte ich machen
Ja, man kann nur direkt kaufen. Ging aber ohne Probleme.
Wow! Very cool! Thx man! ❤
