Sounding very nice!

incredible! thank you for the all the detail!

You covered a lot of ground there with just a single note. Inspiring stuff.

Yo, talking about sound instead of just listening to a fragment. Show don’t tell.

Master class , thank you for sharing 🎉

Nice! Now ya need to get her to give you the vox. Considering Twister for my BB. Does it feel tough, and solid, and allow rapid and complex patterns of pretty firm taps ? -BB I already know is tough. And I would bet it's something like "gorilla glass", like high-end phones, so stands up to some pretty heavy taps.

Very informative. I bet that MicroMonsta can almost replace having to lug a whole flagship keyboard, synth-wise. Is there a lot of overlap between the MPC and Blackbox and OctaTrack? Do you think of one or the other as the centerpiece?

When I first got mine I made the mistake of running it through a couple preamps not realising how much drive it already has on tap!!! Bass nearly blew out my headphones & eardrums 🤦🏻

Eurythmics in the house 😀

Very nice set! Have you ever considered if the Digitakt 2 could replace any element of your setup?

So cool, i wanna join superbooth 2025

Alsik het goed heb ben je nederlander. Ik zit me al tijd af te vragen wat voor geluid dit is en of ik dat na kan maken met mijn MPC pluggins ( Jura , hype bijv ) of op de Mininova , zoniet wat is dan de goedkoopste optie kwa synth standalone ? Het geluid wat ik bedoel kan je horen op youtube onder hellraiser 2 cd 1 op de 5.30 minuut en 8.10 minuut. Zou het heel erg waarderen als je dat zou willen checken , vind het zo vette sound. Ben pas een jaar geleden begonnen met een mpc

Can someone plz help me out with this 1 ? There is this synth sound i want to use but dont know what it is and if i can make it with my MPC one + ( have a bunch of synth plugins) or with my Mininova. You can hear the sound if you look up on youtube : hellraiser 2 cd1 , its on the 5.30 minute and 8.10 minute mark. I hoghly appriciate it. If its not possible on what i have , what will be the cheapest way ,standalone , so not on the computer

I love your videos but you have 16 scenes for both B & A on the Octatrack mk2.

Very inspiring! I'm completely dawless but resampling stuff on the OT can lead to similar outcomes - although you're limited to what you have. Anyway, I really think the OT community should know about you, you're bringing something to the table that goes beyond showing the functionalities of the machine.

I have a DAW and software synths. I will almost certainly not play live. But seeing the grooves you produce with simple themes and incredible attention to the sounds is just mesmerising. Thanks!

I've just started out on my dawless journey, and I've spent the past few days binge watching your videos, then each evening putting into practice what I've learnt from you. What a revelation this is... so much more inspiring to me than using a computer (which just feels to me like I'm at work in the office). Thank you for your amazing and inspiring videos, I'm already further ahead in my music making than I ever was with a computer and a daw. I've subscribed and will keep on the journey with you.

Another incredibly insightful video Mr Kitchen sir ❤ demystifying a large portion of how sampling can make things so much more flexible and diverse with a single instrument 🎉

Nice one

Good stuff. Keep the PC Tips coming.

love it

Good timing for this video, I was just putting stems of some tracks I made in a big Ableton grid, to see what I can use as top loops for my dawless setup. For me it’s mostly about pads, atmosphere and effects, the rest I will do with my setup. Not sure it still counts as top loops 😋 I do match there volume and tone so I can switch between them.

thanks a lot

Idk who you would need to speak to, yet you could probably play the trance stage at Ultrafest2025 now. A year ago I would maybe say: meh, not yet. I think u could now tho. I realize many people see you as just a random youtuber in many ways, yet I think perhaps that is a meaningless metric to a degree. Keep playing them live shows. Refine the act. Be perfect-ish. I think you have the potential for a resurgence outside of youtube. You are on the right path I think.

Hard to hear, for some but yip, tried and tested the more you keep buying new equipment the more blocks in your way learn to use what you've got plus learning to recreate a drum Sound or percussionist chewibg gum from scratch on your mono bass synth etc. Same with other machines. Limitations can be turned around too help creativity Instead of trying to learn and constantly adding new stuff to learn from scratch unless you feel you need new kit ie central machine or smaller units . Practice, patience and Self Belief !!

I always love your content. Your workflow is always so inspiring, and you are really on point with all the technical stuff. My favorite box if I have to pick just one would be the MPC 500. That is like the box I cut my teeth on, and like read all the manual 4-5 times. So many seem to have problems using it for a bunch of stuff, however over the years I have figured out so many work arounds and like little known features that lets me use it for just about anything. Like I have recorded demos with vocals on it, made so many complete tracks, done a bunch of remixes and even used a pair of them to do some DJ sets with both my own music and regular House sets. It was so much work, and made me really miss the buttons on a regular CDJ, but the learning experience and sound in general was amazing. I picked one up on release, and I used it as my main workstation for about 10 years, but now I mainly just use it to play the samples I have produced for it over the years. In the future I have plans on using it to sequence all my synths via MIDI, like you use the MPC in some of your videos, as it is capable of turning my studio into a live rig, however at this point I am focusing more on studio productions. I would love to join your discord, but I am not able to become a Patreon at this time.

Cool setup man 👍

Very nice video! Inspiring to do some techno sets with less gear. You can use all 16 scenes on slot B by the way, though it's harder to reach one handed.

❤❤❤

Thanks again, you are one of the best on yt

Cool to see the advanced techniques of the Octatrack in a live situation! Do you also make use of the lfo settings of the Octatrack to sounddesign the Typhon? And do the Typhon receives program changes of the Octatrack?

I just wish Apple would put macOS on the iPad. I would run Bitwig on my iPad.

love you man, and also your OT

:)

Any of the Elektron A4,AR are techno🤟

Awesome showcase of musical skills and Octatrack mastery. I'm taking my hat off.

4:25 The DAW is the laboratory and the live-use hardware is the kitchen? lol

The only thing I think that is worth adding to a minimalist setup like that is a simple mixing board(if required), and maybe a few SIMPLE effects (reverb/delay, and maybe a flanger tbh. Some synths seem to play really nice with a light flanger touch, in my experience atleast.) If the goal is true minimalism tho, yeah...I have heard alot of seriously good music made on just 1 machine. And not even a super fancy one.

Greetings from Germany !👍

Emperor's new clothes. They eventually will find out

Pretty close to the basis of my studio+live gig. I have the Digitakt instead of the Octatrack. Love having an Elektron box with the Typhon. I add an S1, TD3, Plinky or Circuit Tracks, depending on my mood/needs, but Typhon & Digi are always the basis.

If you want to record whilst playing the chromatic keyboard on the Octatrack hold the record button and press play rather than trying to press the two together

Excellent congrats!!!!❤🎉😊

❤❤❤

what zoom are you using

So true, good video 🤓

Thank you for the inspiration. Would love to see a video of your Octatrack effects process

What You did with minimal gear.....is Awesome!!!!!!... Bravo!!!!🌬️🍺

It's great to see you give the Typhon some love. I remember you posting new gear pics a while ago with a Typhon in it but I never saw you use it till now.
