@@krazywabbit You’re welcome 👍

@@pn_oio2891 No, it was a coincidence ☺️. I decided I did not want to wait for a TonVerk announcement and wanted to have fun with a Digitone straight away. And then two days after I bought it, we got the TonVerk leaks 😄. But whatever the TonVerk turns out to be, it will probably be to expensive for me anyway, as far as I can determine right now.

Космическая музыка😊

@@krazywabbit Thanks 👍

@@LuxAtomic Thanks. I like compact setups, but today I succumbed to G.A.S. and bought a second hand Digitone, so my setup will become a bit bigger ☺️

@@stofbug Nice. Excited to hear what you create!

@@LuxAtomic Me too 😁

@@geekmastermind Thanks. Yeah, maybe New Wave is a better description than Synthwave. I always struggle with genres and don’t mind my music to be in between genres 😊

@@The_Tender_Pulses Thanks 🙏

@@sinewaymusic I got it back already and so far the new screen seems OK. Fingers crossed, because the defect in the previous screen only manifested after a few months.

@@stofbug My soon 18 months old unit doesn't seem to be showing any signs of this, except that the lines where dots are more filled are a big less bright, but that's been the same since I got it. Glad you're back with your Syntakt!

@@sinewaymusic What you describe is an artefact that apparently is normal for these OLED screens. I have it too, on my old screen and new screen as well. I had contact with Elektron about this and they said this is relatively common and will not get worse over time.

@@stofbug Yeah exactly, I figured it was perfectly normal and it's directly related to the number of pixels that are being lit on that line. I've seen it on other types of OLED screens too.

@@BB-mt5sbYep, and the biggest problem is it doesn’t show up immediately, sometimes it takes months to manifest. So they cannot do any quality control on the machines that go out the door. The only hope is that the screen manufacturer knows exactly what the problem is, can fix it and somehow setup a proper testing procedure for the screens. It is a PR nightmare for Elektron and also a financial nightmare, because of the repair costs and people delaying purchases until the issue is resolved. I hope my replacement screen is gonna be OK, because I love my Syntakt.

@@romenpheonixx7005 www.unklbrand.com/unipo I bought these years ago.

Will do 😄👍

You’re right. Just a little bit more happier sounding 😄

Thank you very much 🙏. It is actually just one pattern, where I create the variation by (un)muting and fading tracks. All my explorations so far are done with a single pattern for each jam. In the future, when I want to do more complex songs, I want to start using multiple patterns. But so far I’m still having fun with single pattern jams 😄

That’s awesome! Did you use the song mode?

@@angstrm not for this jam, but I’ve used it for some of the other jams I did.

Would love to get in touch with you. Are you from berlin?

@@angstrm I dig Berlin, just went there a few months ago to see the Dark Matter and Vector art installations. But I’m from The Netherlands ☺️. I really appreciate you reaching out to me, but because of personal issues I’m more comfortable staying an anonymous synthtuber for now. Hope you don’t mind.

It’s one pattern on the Syntakt, but the tracks have different sequencer lengths and sequencer scales. And I use lots of probability on the triggers, therefore creating random elements. And muting/unmuting of tracks. The bpm of each track is the same.

Thank you very much for the infos i m interested to make berlin school with my syntakt

Thank you very much 🙏

Thanks, KrazyWabbit.

They are hollow and go over the original knobs, so you don’t have to do anything to your Rolands and can remove them anytime you want. You can buy them at Thonk and are called tall trimmer toppers.

@@stofbug you helped me a lot thank you

Thanks, it’s not that complicated. It is basically the SY Bits machine x 8 with lots of reverb and delay. And then just press some multiple buttons at the same time to create some chords 😊

I know, it’s back to Elektron for repairs. It was not a definite goodbye, but it may take months before I get it back 😢

ida waited it out til it was totally unusable 😅

@@totalSLACK I just got it back from Elektron with a new OLED screen. Hopefully it will last longer this time 😁

@@stofbug congrats, 3 weeks ain't bad!

Thanks. Unfortunately my Syntakt is back to Elektron for repairs 😢, so there’s a little break in my journey. Hopefully I get it back soon, so I can make new jams again.

Thank you 🙏

​@@stofbug Ignore the haters. I think it's beautiful! 🙃

@@Pablo-pw9kn As an amateur musician that started my journey in electronic music a year ago I'm still very much on the learning curve. About synthesis, music theory, dealing with YT comments😄, etcetera. What I've learned very quickly is that for every non-constructive commenter there's always someone willing to counteract, and post something positive and constructive. Like you in this case. Thanks for the support. 👍

Instant Blade Runner sound 😊

Thanks. At first glance the Syntakt might look like just a drum machine, but I amazed how many different sounding jams you can get out of it.

Thanks. I’m quite new to drone music, but I really liked creating this jam.

At a UK company called Thonk. They are called tall trimmer toppers or something.

Thanks. I also really enjoy watching other people doing unexpected things with the Syntakt. It’s such a fun device to experiment with.

Thanks. All effects come from the machines themselves. I recorded audio straight from the hardware without any post processing in a DAW.

Thank you 👍
