A deep dive into Grooves on the Dirtywave M8 tracker, including how how to setup swing, tuplets, and odd meter patterns. #dirtywave #m8 #groove #monsterlogostudios
Nice! The manual actually suggests a different setup for triplets: 08 - 08 - 08 - 00, which skips every fourth row. I guess the idea is to keep the notes aligned a bit better across phrases when playing notes (less important if used for hi hats or similar).
The math is actually the exact same, but the implementation might depend on the use case. If you want entire phrases of triplet eighth notes, I prefer it this way. Since all 12 triplets fill the phrase, having to account for blank rows would be a pain. If you, however, want to implement triplet fills momentarily at the end of a phrase (i.e. mixing grooves within a single phrase), the method suggested in the manual would be the right approach.
nice tutorial. when you showed the triplets groove, all I could think was "holy, that's New Error by Moderat". TIL. I could see using "grooves" with "tables" for some pretty cool arpeggiator effects.
Is it possible to “nudge” a kick drum, or snare, off the grid with the M8, other than using the groove pool, or can this only be done with the groove pool feature?

@@monsterlogostudios Good points, that makes sense!
This is great info, thanks so much. Awesome track at the end btw
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks; I'm new to trackers and this sort of explanation is very helpful.
You’re welcome. Thanks for the support.
Good explanation. Thanks for taking the time!
Thanks Joseph. Appreciate the support.
Thank you for this insightful video. Nice work on the track at the end!

Haha, yeah. I’m just now diving into Tables. Putting together some neat ideas, but Tables are def the way to take M8 composition to the next level.
great video. just what I was looking for. thank you.
Really useful stuff mate, cheers!
Thanks!
Subbed! Genius!
Sounds really good man! Ty
Nice tutorial, thank you.
Thank you! Making UKG is very difficult without swing.
Subscriibed!
Thank you for the support!
Some great info, but this old brain of mine means I need to watch this a few times.
Ask any questions here, or in the official M8 discord. I’m no expert, but maybe we can figure it out together.
Is it possible to “nudge” a kick drum, or snare, off the grid with the M8, other than using the groove pool, or can this only be done with the groove pool feature?
Absolutely! There is a DEL (Delay) sequencer FX command that allows you to “nudge” notes by the specified number of ticks.
@@monsterlogostudios wow. Really cool. Thanks for the info, and the great tutorials!
