The knobs are from a company called Thonk. They are called tall trimmer toppers.

@@irok81 I am humbled you took the time to leave some constructive feedback on this sketch. As an amateur musician this is just the information I needed to get better at creating new music. Thank you 🙏

Thanks. I’m still learning to understand these machines and how sound design works. Initially I drowned everything in reverb, but lately I do spend more tweaking and experimenting with these reverb and delay settings to get the result I want.

It all runs with no computer. Right?

@@2ndAccident Yep, I only use Garageband to record the sound coming straight from the Elektron boxes.

@ that’s nice. I want to perform w no computer eventually as well

@@jared9977 Nah, I’m fine. I like music with repetitive patterns 😊

You're welcome to be a nobody

@@SimsFreelancer Thanks. I like B&W in real life, so I decided to reflect that in my videos. So lots more of colorless videos to come 😊

⁠@@stofbuga content creator who can‘t handle criticism, or just ignores it 😊

@@SimsFreelancer I didn’t see your comment as criticism, to be honest. Just something you would have liked to see in the clip I uploaded. Which you completely have all the right to express, since I uploaded the clip and allowed comments on it. But at the same time I have the freedom to choose which feedback I want to use for future clips I make. And currently I am in my arty farty black & white phase, so I humbly decided not to take your color advice 😎. It’s not that I cannot handle criticism, it’s just that I want to create what I feel like at this moment, without being influenced too much by what I think my audience will like. Maybe I gain some followers, maybe I lose some. But in the end I cherish the creative freedom I have when making music, compared to the restrictions I have in my daytime job, working for demanding clients. I hope you understand 😊

@@stofbug u right. I might have got it wrong. Have a nice day

I don’t have the S-1 or any of the Rolands anymore. Sorry 😊

@@EpiklesisRecords That is bad luck. Especially because it took so long to manifest. Hopefully you can get it repaired. Mine has been working without problems since the new screen was installed.

@@Gold_Music_Vault Thank you and welcome to my channel. It’s a big milestone for me, as I didn’t expect to get so much people following me on my synth journey. Hope you will stay around and enjoy the rest of my explorations. Cheers 🎉

@ I’ll stay around for sure! I will definitely learn a lot from watching your videos. Hopefully I can reach 500 subs one day 🤞

@@ZozillaThaGreat Thanks, I love arps. I’m not into samples so for me the Digitone was the obvious choice. And the FM capabilities of the Digitone are more advanced than the FM engines on the Syntakt. You get polyphony, chorus and envelopes for the moderators, so you can make some really weird sounds 😊. Good luck making a decision.

@@stofbug yeah i know about the digitone , but i was more commenting on the caracter distingishable of the fm in both that sound close , of course the digitone is more capable .... as for the digitakt , sampling can bring texture and natural sounds in the equation , this is what i would go for if digitakt 2 .... what holding from the digitone is the potential new one !! ;)

Sounds amazing. Would love to know how you got that great choir pad. Is that on the syntakt?

@@SeattleMarc Thanks. The choir pad is actually a slightly tweaked version of a preset on the Digitone called Misspad DL, played polyphonic chords.

@@stofbug Thank you so much for the reply. Again a really beautiful beat.

@@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 😊

@@Synthcoma 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 😊
