A little update to my previous M8 chords tutorial. • M8 Tracker - Chords Tu... M8 3.0 firmware adds a new instrument type called HYPERSYN which gives you easy control of 6 voice chords and inversions.
Oh man, those are some c00L ideas, not only for hypersyn -- those tables are so dope. What a cool device man, good stuff, cool vid, thanks a bunch! Saving this for later
It's truly amazing. Just the whole device itself is actually an amazing instrument slash tool. Dirtywave and everyone involved in this device are incredible for putting this together. And not too mention it's practically affordable for everybody. 💯🕺💯
This was a great deep dive into the chord feature. I wasn't going to at first, but then I restarted the video and did everything you did and I learned so much. Is TIC01 or TIC06 on the last line a convention? Since the HOPs come before the TIC, logic would imply that it never reaches the TIC instruction, but perhaps it knows to look for a TIC from the last line as soon as playback starts?
So when you play a note in a sequencer it acts as a root note and all the added voices are shifted to number of semitones specified in hypersynth settings? What should I do if I want to play a completely different chord from the one set up? E.g. a sus4 - should I create another instrument with hypersynth and set up another chord? Or can I achieve i with FX?
I am somewhat surprised my architecture here. While its awesome that this synth does not eat up track voices, its not easily swappable with a midi instrument to play the same chords - you’ll have to redo everything using chord or add fx :(
great tutorial... i am now in phase of trying convince myself i don't need M8 because i have ipad/iphone for mobile musicmaking, but this tutorial doesn't helping to that purpose at all LOL - actually exact opposite ... this M8 is really SUPER DEEP super powerful device ..
Also, there is a huge market potential if someone makes a really good tracker for iOs... now there are only a few and they are dated and some look fairly chaotic. I got an og m8 today, so I don't need it any longer, but it's been baffling me for some time that no one has capitalized or even tried to on the tracker idea on iOs.
@@impbox thanks I like the way how you do chords in hypersyn compared to the other method you showed. Wasn't sure my M8 hasn't arrived if you could do the chord feature south in this video for example in the FM synth. Just wait for my brain to understand
Great tips here. I can’t believe the sound quality of this thing.
such an awesome addition to the M8
Not only a great review of the Hypersynth engine, but also the power of the FX and Tables

That was so helpful! Hypersynth is my absolute favorite instrument on the M8. I’ll have to sink some more time into it

Wow! Thanks so much for the walkthrough, there's so much to this instrument!
This is awesome! Perfect timing too, had just updated last night and was a little confused. Thanks for sharing 🙌🎸🎹
Thanks for sharing this tutorial ! Much needed!😙
M8 rules !!!
Thanks m8 chord master! 🙏
great tutorial
Amazing!

3:31 nevermind, here the answer

@@LostStylus yeah you can make a chord table for the midi instrument with the same chords fairly easily though.
Semitones by default but if you use a scale it's number of scale degrees
Sound really nice.
I am new to M8. Do I need to know some music theory to use Hypersynth?
not really, just set it to a scale and go nuts. that said learning some beginner music theory can really help and doesn't take much effort.

New to m8 but is the chord feature across all instruments or just for me hypersynth. Thanks
There's a few different ways to do chords, hypersyn is a new way. Check out my previous chord video to see the old methods

The chord around the 1:00 point reminds me so much of the title music from Obliterator on the Amiga - th-cam.com/video/nG80rfxGTuo/w-d-xo.html
How do I update? Firmware
Yes download the new firmware and read the included readme.txt
