      Hey Kose, thank you! Yeah the Digitone sounds amazing on it's own and it is both a great standalone tool but also to use in a setup with other devices. Cheers!

    Very useful tutorial! I wish there was a way to have fill act as alternate trig locks too, so you could for example have more delay on a drum when in fill mode, while still playing that same drum but with less delay when not in fill mode.
    Basically while in step sequence mode, you would hold down a trig and the Page button simultaneously to reveal the Fill specific trig locks.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you David! And you really have a point here, I miss a feature like that. This way you could also program an automation where for example the filter is opening in FILL mode without the need to do this by hand. Would make a good feature request! :)

    Very useful and practical stuff, thanks Miles! I was wondering for Tip 6 ...if it works only if the LFOs for the sound are already set on Synth Pitch & Filter Frequency. Otherwise the sound would change if I modify the LFOs right?

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah if you modulate the LFO, you get different or completely other modulations on filter and pitch. The LFO has a pretty heavy effect on the sound but it’s really nice :)

    Great tips Miles. Not sure if you know of the Fill latch trick but if not, it should free up some fingers in your performances. Pressing [YES] + [PAGE] will latch Fill for the entire pattern only and [PAGE] + [YES] and then release [PAGE] before releasing [YES] will latch Fill until you press [PAGE] again to unlatch.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Marc, happy to hear you like the tricks and thanks for reaching out! Yeah I know the FILL latch trick and I've used it a couple of times but I somehow prefer to have more immediate control over the FILL mode so it works better to press it and keep it pressed. Just a matter of taste but I have the feeling that I have more control, especially when I trigger steps with a lot of delay on them. But it's great that it is possible to use the FILL mode in both ways!

      Thank you velvetpearls, glad to hear that you like it! That's a pretty good idea for an additional tutorial and it gets a good slot in the "ideas for future videos" list :D
      Just briefly what I like to do: As I only use about 6-8 patterns per jam about half of the bank is free for transitions to the next song. So I try to take elements from the current jam away and add elements from the upcoming jam. This works great as all my Digitone jams are in the same key (C minor). So each pattern introduces more of the upcoming jam and combined with the techniques I showed in this video you can some really smooth transitions.

      Good question, it's actually a bit of both. The more I get comfortable with the Digitone, the more I try to make these transitions on the fly. Takes some practice but you can also be more spontaneous. But I prepare some tricks that need parameter locks (like the LFO trick) in advance, just because it's easier. :)

      Im not entirely sure if it works on arps. But the yellow trigs are trigless trigs/parameter logs, so you can use them to open the filter over time. Basically like an automation in a DAW

    Do you know a way for filter to affect the whole track, including p-locked sounds? When I for example low pass a track, only the main sound gets filtered.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Excellent question that I would love to have an answer to as well. I think the Control all function only works on that track sounds and not on the p-locked sounds - and I hope that Elektron will change that soon. As I tend to have all my drums on one track it's super annoying to have only the kick being affected by these changes (as you can hear in this video as well). You really have a good point here.
