- This track is released on Bandcamp : djkrostif.band...
First try with the Minilogue XD, using arp, active steps and the step sequencer feature to extend the 16 steps limitation.
Mixed with Soundcraft signature 10,
Recorded with Audacity,
Just a bit of limiter to sound louder ;)
Thanks for watching
Really cool track. This is my favorite setup when I'm stepping out of the studio. Two awesome pieces of gear, sync up beautiful, portable enough, sturdy, affordable. Totally recommend both. Don't forget your midi cable...
Thank you ! Agree 100%👍
great track man, I just got my TR8S, I am really happy with the sound, that kick is massive btw
Great !! Thank you 🙏 You will find this kick in the first pattern of the firmware update 2.0 (with a bit of tune 😉) I hope you will enjoy your Tr8s. Cheers !
Really like this dude. Awesome track. The two bits of gear I’m dreaming of too haha! New subscriber ✌🏻
Thanks for all ! 🙏 I hope your dream will come true 😊 I took my time to choose them both and I don't regret 😉 Cheers !
@@krostifmusic thanks! Fingers crossed haha 😄 Hope you had a great Xmas 🎄✌🏻
@@JonMurray same hope for you ☺️ thanks !
A nice peace of Music. Simple and clear. Listen to it multiple times in a row. Good job man 👍
My pleasure !! Thank you very much 🙏
Really nice track, very clever use of the sequencer! I will have to try this. I haven't used the sequencer much on mine as i'm usually sequencing it from the Digitakt or 707. Great stuff!
Thanks mate ! 🙏 I understand why you use the digitakt, it seems to be a very powerful sequencer. Behind the 16 steps of the miniligue xd, there's a lot of features that makes it very interesting but need to explore it more, I only have it since yesterday 😊
I can only advice to thoroughly try out the sequencer. One can achieve windeful things with the sequencer and the arp.
Awesome Minilogue jam! Sounds incredible! Looks like you have an awesome channel here, I am subscribing!
Thanks a lot ! 🙏 Awesome Minilogue xd with fresh new ideas and possibilities. Start exploring.. 😁
Lovely piece! Minilogue XD is on top of my list of synths I have to save up for... ;)
Thanks 🙏 worth it ! I can't buy expensive synths, so it's the best compromise. You won't regret 😉
Sounds great! The Minilogue XD just sounds incredible!
Thank you !🙏 Amazing synth indeed, I love it 😊
Nice sounds!!
2:35 And my soul began to break out !!!
Thank you so much!
P.S. Impressive vinyl collection)
Thank you ! 🙏
@@krostifmusic Btw korg has song mode? Or is it possible to somehow switch honey sequences on the fly? That would be amazing)
@ph911 no, it hasn't. And switching patterns is very delicate with it, it can be out of measure if you're not super precise.. But if you have sequences with same mesaures long, it can be easier..
Ps: i haven't seen all what you wrote the first time 😅 thank you so much !! 🙏 Yes, i buy vinyl since.. Ever 😂
@@krostifmusic I was listening to your video with my son now (I teach him the theory of music). And new sensations came over me. In order not to produce the same individual comments, I just edited the first one)
We choose between Artoria micro freak and Korg as you have in the video.
I thought about Microfreak too before buying my 1st synth, nice piece of gear too 😉 Great you learn this to your son 👍
Great hardware choice such a v good drum machine and synth.....
Yes, I'm very happy with them both !
Simple and effective! Just like techno must be! Very nice! :)
Thank you very much ! 🙏
Wow, they complement very well each other. Cool atmospheric techno track. I like your filter automation, especially at 2:02.Nice work!
Thanks a lot ! My pleasure 🙏
Ok that does it I’m buying an XD in the morn😂❤🎹
What a belter!!!🙌🏼
Haha nice!! 😄 amazing little synth really, good choice 😉
I’m resisting upgrading my little TR6S for now though, but it’s difficult after hearing your vid🫣
@@E4RLIES tr8s has more hands control and more tracks but same engine 😉
2 beasts in good hands....i kept listening untill the end!!;+) Nice buildup and track!!!!
Thanks a lot for the kind words and for listening !!🙏
Reminds me of stephan bodzin. Very good!!
Thank you very much for the compliment 🙏 !
This is a very intelligent utilisation of quite a limited sequencer. Nice!
Thanks a lot ! 🙏
Just got a tr-8s and a minilogue xd module. I’ve got a novation sl-mk3 that should be able to control it all too. But I’ve been too busy with school to hook it all up! I got them to get these jams out of my head. Just like this one. The semester will be over soon and then I’ll get to rock out. Thanks man.
I understand, not easy. I Have tr8s for almost one year, xd for 6 months, and just scratched the surface to make music with them, not enough free time.. I hope you will make them sing soon :)
The sound and the track are incredible! THX
Thank you very much !!🙏
Great vibe on this track!
Thank you ! Reminds I Need to go back to techno too.. 😄
@@krostifmusic lol 😂 what is your main style or genre?
@@EdCosico The dilemn of my life 😂 it was the same with dj times.. one day house, one day techno, one day DnB, one day hardcore.. But if I had to choose, I think it would be dub techno.. this is where I love to explore sound design and effects the most, and play for hours and hours :)
Woow woow big woow. Truly beautiful❤
Thank you very much !🙏
I would really appreciate a demo on what you created on the minilogue xd! Amazing job
Thank you ! I will try to do it as soon as I will bring xd back on the table.. I miss some space to have all my gear "ready to play" 😕
@@krostifmusic Looking forward to it!
incredible jam
Thanks a lot 🙏 !
Was looking for trs8 vids and i found this gem! Reminds me the Platypus sound, great stuff man!
Thanks a lot man !! Had great times with Platipus too ;) I let tr8s sleep for a while, i'm a bit scattered 😂 really need to work on it !!
"active steps and the step sequencer feature to extend the 16 steps limitation" - could you do a video where you explain it, how it works? would be super nice, i absolutely love your work
Thanks a lot ! Yes, I think I will make some short xd vids soon :)
Hey so what's the answer? I'd like to try that and have only seen it mentioned here
Very good !!! Ready to mix it ;-)
Thanks a lot ! 🙏 you can download it on bandcamp for free 😊 djkrostif.bandcamp.com/track/explore but it's not pro mastered 😉
nice setup!!!!!! Love the minologue!!
Me too, this synth sounds beautiful 💜
Very nice! I love the history of techno music be it from Detroit, Chicago, Berlin or Cologne and these two machines cover those sounds plus a ton of other things as well. I have both of them myself and they make a perfectly simple, minimalist and stripped down setup using just the factory presets but both are easy to expand beyond that as well. Peace and Namaste. ✌️🙏
Thanks ! 🙏 Agree, these two machines are gold. Cherry on cake with tr8s update 😀 and as a beginner in sound design, XD will feed all my needs and hopes for years !!
Peace my friend 🙏
You mention cologne but not the hometown of techno Frankfurt?
@@schem515 I’m sorry , clearly I should’ve mentioned Frankfurt. I guess I assumed everybody knows that and I just happen to really love the underground minimalist stylings from Cologne especially Thomas Fehlmann who I don’t think gets enough credit sometimes. Ditto for England’s Alex Patterson. Anyway, thank you for bitch slapping me on that point, I deserved it!
@@ethereal-11.11 :) see you at Tanzhaus West
Cool jam
Thank you !🙏

Thanks a lot ! 🙏💜
Simple. Melodious. Great. +1 subscriber.
Thanks for all 😃🙏
OH PK style, nice one mate ! sounds great !
Thank you very much ! 🙏
Ale przyjemne bardzo ...🍾🔥😎
Wielkie dzięki 🙏
Nice stuff. Reminds me of Afterlife!
Ottimo il giro di synth suona bene 😎
Grazie !🙏
Great track and creative arrangement
Thank you very much ! 🙏
@@krostifmusic You are wellcome
nice techno combo here!
Hours of sounds exploration in perspective 🤩
NOT BAD SIR!
Thank you !🙏
just beautiful...
🙏💜
impressive
Nice man
Thank you ! 🙏
Beautful, really liked it. What is the trick about extending the 16 steps limit that you mention?
Thank you very much 🙏 in the "seq edit" menu, find step sequencer. It is set to 1/16. If you set it to 1/1, a single step is running during 4 beats. Also The next paramater in the menu (something like gate or lenght sorry i don't remember..) is set to 20%, go for 100% and you can sequence long full arps. With the 16 steps, you can make like 256 😁
Sounds wicked loves it 👍🏻
Thanks a lot !! 🙏
Nice Work Dude 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥🔥
Thank you very much !! 🙏
Thank you, great performance. I just got the TR-8S and love it. I am looking to get the minilogue xd to go with it as well. How do you sync the two of them together?
Thank you ! 🙏 They're sync via tr8s midi out/ xd midi in, start button is the tr8s. I remember i had to change settings in the midi menu of the xd (sorry I don't remember the default settings) , but don't worry you will find them in the owner's manual 😉
@@krostifmusic thank you!
Beautiful track . Makes me wanna buy the XD!!
Thank you 🙏 XD is magic 🌟
Brutal!!! 👏😮
Amazing content!
Thanks a lot dude !! 🙏
Nice Bro ❤️🥳
Thank you 🙏
Nice 🔥
Thanks ! 🙏
thank ! very nice track ! i was thinking that the sequencer of the minilogue is only 16 step but it's look tike u can do 128 step
Yes it's 16 step sequencer, but you can choose steps time division. In this case it's 1/4 so you hear one step like it is 4 :)
Nice feel man 👍
Thank you ! 🙏
I really like the way you youse TR-8S. I think of buying one - thanks to you. Please let me know what do you think about my last production - detroit techno on EMX!
Sure I will, I love EMX !!💜
I love my minilogue xd and am looking for a drum machine to accompany it. After looking at this video as well as sone reviews I think the TR-8S might be it. It sounds amazing and I like that you can import samples to play with.
It's a good and versatile drum machine. Importing samples is very easy, I do it with sd card it's super quick!
I'm in the exact same situation! I tend to get the Arturia DrumBrute Impact though, due to its price and seemingly straight forward handling.
@@gonzki i really recommend the tr8s. I have the drumbrute too and its fun for some hours but you are way too limited in mid and longterm view.
Wow ! Loved it man
Greetings from Chile 🥳
@@MrCoyoteUC thanks a lot 🙏 You're welcome !!
Great stuff man! A stupid question from a minilogue newbie: I seems that you managed to trigger the sequence play on the minilogue by starting the TR8S. I can't figure out how to achieve this on my setup. Any hints?
Thank you !🙏 Questions are never stupid 😉 here i plug midi out of tr8s with midi in of minilogue xd and in global settings of minilogue xd, find rx transport is off, turn it on and it should work 🙂
@@krostifmusic Awesome! That was the trick! Many thanks!
Thats a fab sound on the mini great work but for those wondering the kick I highly doubt is from the tr8s, probably a sample loaded in after much processing, but just my guess…heavy kick also this ;)
I can confirm the kick comes from the internal sounds of tr8s, an fm one which i only adjust morph a bit, but I don't remember its name in the machine 😅🙏
Great video!How did you sync them?🤔
Thank you !🙏 to sync them, you need a midi cable. Here it's tr8s midi out to minilogue xd mini in, and turn rx transport off to on in minilogue global settings if you want them to start together :)
@@krostifmusic Thanks ;)
Big love I wish I could master my minilogue like you , I’ll try remake it
Thanks for the words 💜 I'm thinking about making few xd tutorials since I have a lot of requests.. I just need bonus time 😅🙏
@@krostifmusic I feel i feel 😄😄👍🍺
Sounds really good. My only complaint is that kick. It sounds like someone slapping a wet cardboard box with an old leather shoe.
Thank you ! Hahaha, loved the description 😂 I agree, there are so much better kicks than this one.. It was the instant :)
Reminds me Tiesto! 🫶🖤
Thank you for the compliment 🙏😊
Amazing
Thanks !🙏
i keep coming back to this, it's so good. Ive been trying to replicate it with my XD but just can't! How do you move from a repeating 2 step sequence to the 8 step sequence? I can see you turn the rest of the steps on but why was it just cycling between steps 1 and 2? I can only get it to play 8 steps, 6 of which are silent until i turn the steps on. Confused!
This is the active step function from the 2.0 update. You can watch how to enable it and how it works here, around 4 mn mark ;) you also have other great functions so don't hesitate to watch the full vid : th-cam.com/video/Y8oLvq9vKes/w-d-xo.html
@@krostifmusic thank you so so much, you are a legend (and a very talented musician)!
@@jonathanyoung6397 you're welcome, and thank you for the very kind words 😊
Ok, we established the TR8s has a kick drum
Fortunately yes 😄
Cool👍💡😁
Thanks 🙏🎹😉
❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏
Wow. It seems like you play several sub-step notes inside a same step. How do you get that?
It's an arp I sequenced with a step resolution 1:1 (equal as 1 bar per step), and I use active step functions to extend the sequence at the half of the track.
Sweet!
Thank you !🙏
Sorry to bother you, just wondering how to trigger sequence starting on the xd from the TR-8s. I have midi connected and tempo is synced but when I hit start on tr8s, sequence doesn't start on the xd :( love your stuff so much, got my gear due to your work!
No worries man you're welcome 😉
Find rx transport in global settings of minilogue xd. Default setting is off. Turn it to on and it should work.
Thanks for the love 🙏💜
Dope.
🙏
could you make a tutorial on how to make that arpeggio and sound on the minilogue?
I just made it 2 days ago 😃 I only forgot to mention that arp is set on rise 1 😉
The sound design is quick to give an idea but you can adjust to taste. Cheers

...ya man....wow...top
Thanks a lot ! 🙏
Это они видят друг друга и взаимодействуют по миди-каналу? Синхронизация как работает?
No midi channel, just clock with midi câble and set "transport RX on" in monologue xd for synchronisation .
What do think of the FM sound engine in the TR8s?
It's great because it brings something else to the box and makes it more versatile than before. Not deep as a real fm engine for sure, but fun to use and sounds good :)
Wow. really nice! What's the trick with the sequencer on Minilogue XD here? Got mine yesterday, trying to make the most of it.
Thanks a lot !! There are two tricks in fact.. One is to set step sequences to 1:1, a single step is playing 1 bar. And second, it's the active step function added in the update. Here's how to use it, at 4 mn mark in this video th-cam.com/video/Y8oLvq9vKes/w-d-xo.html
@@krostifmusic Thank you very much sir! I'll try both ways. I'm familiar with active step function on volcas.
@@krostifmusic I watched your video again after your reply (thanks again) and update for XD. Now I clearly see what you are doing here. Great tips for live performance! Will use it in my next gig :-)
@@aleksandrlukin565 you're welcome, glad you have gigs 😃
Nikel ça 👍
siiiiick brooooo
Thanks a lot !! 🙏
awweeeesomeee!
Thanks a lot !! 🙏
Waw!
Thanks !🙏
Your Kick is incredible !!! Sample or synthesis with TR-8 S ? Nice Melody with the XD :-)
Thank you !! I don't remember very well but I think it's an fm kick on this one
@@krostifmusic , Merci Monsieur Krostif , j'ai vu que tu parlais français en fait :-D
@@chihuahuasynth7027 haha cool oui, je suis français. Parler un peu anglais c'est pratique par ici ;) si t'as une tr8s, tu trouveras les sons du morceau dans le 1er kit de la mise à jour 2.0 ;)
@@krostifmusic , Je n'ai pas la TR8-S , j'ai la MC 707 . Franchement c'est trop lourd ce kick , j'adore ! J'ai vu qu'il y a une critique sur ce kick dans les commentaires , ça me fait bien rire :-D Merci à toi pour l'info.
@@chihuahuasynth7027 Belle bête la 707, j'adore les groovebox Roland. Et oui ce kick ne plaît pas à tout le monde, il est un peu franc du collier 😂 en tout cas il claque !
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
sick!
Thanks ! 🙏
I love that sequence. Did you use any default patch included in the minilogue to build that sequence or did you use your own?
Thank you ! 🙏 This is a factory patch a bit modified.. Synth is off but I could tell you later what patch it is exactly 😉
@Dj Krostif I will appreciate that. Minilogue XD is my first synth and all help is very helpful for me :)
@@crusterzan it's my first real synth too :) can't turn it on before the weekend.. Maybe check facebook groups, also a good way to learn 😉

@@krostifmusic Thanks! I'm waiting to be accepted to the group (I sent the request 4 days ago). Anyway if you can check the patch that you used I will send you a couple of beers :P
@@crusterzan 4 days, seriously ? Man, sorry for that.. I don't the admin of the group, but i hope it will be fix soon.. I just checked the synth, it's patch 11 MetalFnkLead (or something like that.. ) 😉
Salut Krostif vieux DJ de la fantastique fantasteck 😉 canon ça aussi mais par contre avec les machines je trouve que parfois certaines boucles sont un peu longues malgré les variations. Bref, s'il te vient l'idée denous faire une petite session de vinyles hard teck disons d'une heure ou plus ! Ce serait un IIIIIIIIIIMMENSE KIFF mec 😉 porte toi bien et bravo à Mme pour les petits plats

Yep, merci d'être passé par ici 😉 Je n'ai plus de hard tech tribe. J'en avais très peu en fait, une vingtaine à peu près et je m'en suis lassé très vite..

what drum station are you using ?
The drum machine here is the Roland TR8S :)
Love it
Thanks 🙏 !
Sounds great! ✨
Thank you 😊🙏
Sehr cool 👍👍👍👍👍
Danke ! 🙏
fucking dope¡¡¡¡¡
Thank you 🙏 ! Tr8s midi out to minilogue xd midi in only for the clock, no other midi messages :)
Carrément bon !! Comment tu fais pour les synchroniser les 2 machine ??
Merci, c'est juste une synchro midi, la tr8s en maître et le xd en esclave. Je me souviens que d'origine le xd n'était pas reconnu en esclave, il fallait changer le paramètre clock source sur auto midi ou qq chose comme ça...
I'm am in a big dillema on which one to get, the classic korg and xd korg. The dillema comes from the fact that the classic one has beautiful melancholic unique sound but xd sounds very, colourful and has a little touch of the melancholic vibes too but with alot more features, oh...
Watch more reviews it will help you to choose 😉 or buy both 😀
How am i supposed to hook up my Minilogue XD ti the Roland tr-8s?
Currently im using the Roland as an audio interface in my daw. Am i supposed to connect the L/R outputs on the synth to the external ins in the drum machine using TRS cables?
Ot is there a better eay to do this?
Thank you in advance 😁
Sorry I don't use daw and never used the tr8s like that so I can't tell :/ with external in, you should hear the sound of the xd but that's all..
@@krostifmusic okay, thank you for getting back to me so quick. And nice videos of these 2 beasts by the way. I really love synth based music 😁
I guess I will figure it out one way or another 🙂
No problem 😊 and good luck for your set up !
Man you make it look so easy lol. This thing is a bit complex lol. I just got mine and I can't figure out how I can get it to work with FL studio?
Thank you ! Sorry, I can't help you, I don't use Fl studio.
Great sess. How do you connect them please?
Thanks ! 🙏 They are connected with a midi cable (midi out/midi in) only for the clock. No other midi messages. Each runs with its own sequencer 🙂
@@krostifmusic Thanks a lot!
@@krostifmusic can i ask please about the external, cause I see you are not using external In from t Roland no? Just the outputs? thanks
@@Daubentonia88 Not on this one but i use it on few videos (summertime, if only..) and yes, it works fine ! Package of parameters you can set as you like on ext in, which are saved in your kit settings, not on global parameters :)
Can I connect my ipad garage band into MIDI in… so that it would sync together. If so what cables do I need?
Sorry, I don't use garageband and I don't have ipad. I would say you need an audio interface and midi interface at least ?
Haha my bad… but I would like to have the same set up as yours.. I’m a dj but would like to expand my skills making remixes and other things. The keyboard is connected to the TR8s by midi input right? Do the bpm sync up automatically?
Tr8s is the master clock here and minilogue xd is slave. They are connected with midi cable only for the clock (no other midi messages). They both run with their own sequencer in sync. But I remember when I tried the first time, it didn't work. So I searched in the manual and found I needed to change rx transport setting in minilogue xd and it worked.
Some gear are "plug and play", some are not. But there's always a solution :)
Cool
Thank you ! 🙏
GOOD!!!
Thank you my friend !! 🙏
What mode do you have to be in to have minilogue xd to start playing when you hit start on the tr8s?
In global settings of minilogue xd, rx transport is off. Turn it on and it should work 🙂
@@krostifmusic Thank you! 🎉
La séquence du minilogue vient d'un ordi, de la tr8s ou du minilogue ?
Elle vient du minilogue :)
Do you know if we can assign an external instruments on a fader in tr 8s ? For better soft mixing ?
I don't think it is possible... tr8s doesn't send midi cc. But It can works with the external in knob gain.
@@krostifmusic oki thank you, it's like the electribes
Yo how did u do that at 2:35
It's the active step function. While holding shift, press the step in or out of the sequence :)
