Superb jam video always - I have been playing and writing music for 15 years through traditional instruments like guitar, piano, etc. I learnt to produce with ProTools when I was 5 years old some 17 years ago and I also played around with FL studio and Logic back then but none of them ever kept my interest, I'm super ADHD bi Polar hyper dude so when I'm tuned into something and loving it I really put the time in but when I'm not into something I tune out completely. Long story short, I started learning Ableton a few years ago and I love that DAW so it enabled me to get back into writing and producing electronic-based music again which I love. Ricky Tinez has been my main mentor for the past few years as I have worked to master both Ableton and also the Elektron devices and a selection of Aarturias hardware too. So just wanted to say a big thank you to Mr. Tinez from here in London England. Whenever I feel as though I'm losing motivation I tune into Ricky's videos and watching him explain and demo equipment and processes that I can take away and utilize myself - I always come away feeling re-invigorated and re-motivated to create as well as having a plan of action which always sees me good....Thank you, Ricky, I really do massively appreciate all of your rime and help! Please keep up the exceptional work!

Play notes with your forehead to get more polyphony. also, stacking machines on top of one another creates a more compressed sound...if that’s what you’re looking for.

[@truecuckoo]

Chill hang time, mate! Lovely to see you at NAMM btw!

[@RickyTinez]

Same! Hopefully I'll see you again soon at another event! Superbooth?

[@petel1201]

You guys need to collab... cuckoo melodies would fit beautifully over ricky tinez beats!

[@Grooveboxwoody]

Is this a crossover episode??

[@SourDiesel69]

Spam it up bro!

[@wojomojo]

Compact creations are dope

[@GabeMillerMusic]

I'm really digging this series and this jam. Keep it up man!

[@LoopsDealer]

To copy before it change you need select the new track that you want copy to pressed for a few second with fonction + copy at the same time. Greetings from France !

[@RickyTinez]

Exactly what i needed! thanks so much for sharing.

[@NeilGuise]

@@RickyTinez Care to expand on this please? I'm trying so hard to make this work and it's just not consistent thanks!

[@Kwietschbeu18]

@@NeilGuise kind of tricky. took me a while as well. - copy pattern ( function + record ) - press PTN + Trig/Pattern ( 1-16 ) that you want to copy to an hold them while pressing Paste ( Stop ) - Digitone should ask - "Paste Pattern?" - hold all 3 Buttons (PTN+Trig+Paste) until it says "Pasted 1 Pattern" then you can just switch to that pattern without stopping the sequencer =)

[@XPOCKETSXx1]

Would love to see the TR-8 in more videos

[@markofthenorth9512]

I love these jams with narration. Super cool. And your music is fantastic!

[@insidestraight4659]

Feeling it... I should probably buy a TR8S.

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

I've used that setup quite a lot, but the opposite way round: I have Digitone as Midi master, and TR-8S audio out to Digitone audio in. I also have the Digitone on the left :) I power mine from a power bank with a 12V output feeding into a portable inverter, mainly because Digitone likes super smooth power, and TR-8S has an unusual supply voltage (5.7V I think) so use the proper mains adapters for both. Sometimes I start on the drums, but mainly start with the Digitone, building sequences and patterns, then build the drums to suit.

[@tmsu2905]

So you bought TR8s in the end! Just watched your Digitakt vs TR8s comparison video 😀

[@BrianKupferschmid]

Tight! Digging the vibe on this one.

[@JRosevelt]

The TR 8S KICKS ASS

[@mattspazmatic]

Best descriptive hands motions ever 🤣🤣🤣 love it.

[@veltenhill]

That's sounding clean af, love it

[@MikeKraze]

Beautifully done! Bravo.

[@jthorpe4droid]

I'm still liking the compact creations, it goes to prove you can create some great simple tracks to get your head bobbing.

[@RickyTinez]

Exactly that. I'm honestly surprised myself that half of these are pretty decent lol

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

I use a similar setup while in the pub, when I use these two, and power everything from battery. The TR-8S has a 5.7V power supply, so you have to use the included PSU. I use a powerbank with the output set to 12V, and feed that into a small portable inverter with a couple of mains sockets. Great what you can do with these things. Very portable.

[@robbyrobmasta]

How Long can you use These two on one battery charge?

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

@@robbyrobmasta I use this setup for 5 to 6 hours in the pub, and still has power left after it :)

[@mynewcolour]

I want to visit your pub!

[@jamessusbilla]

awesome. thank *YOU*

[@esthermoonmusic]

I love putting phasers and weird modulations on the master during breakdowns sometimes

[@maxtox3]

I want digitone. Digitakt is not enough for me! But, digitakt can do a lot of "synth" stuff, A LOT. But 8 tracks... And thats why I need digitone. This 2 beasts is so powerful and complected for sound design and love performance.

[@tatnallkennedy]

Dope Rique!

[@justinkinter8651]

There is a band-pass on the digitone too btw, just press the filter button twice and it pops up

[@RickyTinez]

Oh duh!the width base filter

[@justinkinter8651]

Hahaha, the name threw me off at first too

[@j.b.8959]

TR-8s trigger by Midi/DAW? ..after recording parameter changes. Any thoughts, issues. I really found I enjoy sounds and mixing from gear and external FXs more than in the box, so the TR8s look interesting because of the outs.

[@justinkinter8651]

I’m the same way with both of these, total noob, but I love hooking them up together they’re both the type of machines that you take one look at and just know that there’s gigatons of untapped potential lying within them, I too just wish I knew how to fully tap into it, great video once again tho man 👍

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

As a sequencer/sound making device I like the Digitakt over the TR8s, but as a hand-on performance tool the TR8s wins. Digitakt is pretty steep to learn, the TR8s is a lot more intuitive.

[@gjanalog5675]

Entertaining per usual, enrique✊🏼

[@Blackeyedangel]

love it! Thanks for sharing,.

[@andrewgerber9851]

I absolutely love this series you've been doing!! It feels like something that was missing from the synth KZbin world. This is my favorite combo of instruments you've used for one of these. How do you like the TR8S? I bought the digitakt partially inspired by one of your videos a while ago and after about 6 months months ended up selling it and switched over to the TR8S and have loved it.

[@RickyTinez]

It's really fun and immediate, I really appreciate the speed at which I can get something going!

[@scarletdawnmusic]

¡Me encanta tu canal!

[@phable]

Sounds great!

[@TomMadisonSoundsLewis]

Hey man, good meeting you at NAMM...another superb compact creation!

[@RickyTinez]

Yo Tom! Thanks for saying what's up! So good to meet you too, thank you.

[@SanplerVarondaro]

Foy tu fan yeahhhh

[@papertarrasque]

Nice tune!

[@kwaping]

Can you please do a jam with a TR-8(S?) and a Erica Synths DB-01?

[@DJFxallMixX]

I just recently got a tr-8s so quick and dirty it side chains also. I love it my setup is small but powerful. Jd-xa(Keys), octatrack(sampler), tr-8s(drums)

[@RickyTinez]

That's a setup of endless possibilities

[@DJFxallMixX]

@@RickyTinez Roland has a common setup I see from my jd-xa to the tr-8s. Kind of like Elektron has it's workflow. Setting up system parameters so you start on your last kit and pattern is in the menu. The shift and other keys is Roland's go to shortcut. Remember you can change anything on that and if you don't save it turn it off and back on and it is back to how it was. But the power is in exploring the menu options it usually is with roland. There are sample settings and some great sound design tools. Assignable LEDs and effects packed are in there too. Learn the menu sections and there shortcuts and you can really get powerful on the fly.

[@DJFxallMixX]

Forgot to add gonna try a daw trick on it tonight to experiment with the side chain. Either assign a side chain to a short click sound like a seperate kick hit so you can have the kick grunt with out cutting so much. Food for thought man.

[@kiffzool]

Nice to watch your workflow. I've got the original tr-8 and I'm looking at getting my mpc 1000 into action again. Can you do some MPC vids? How you would use it with a drum machine or synth? That would be MASSIVELY helpful, man. Love the vids. Keep 'em coming!

[@Holiday_Ringo]

Yoo can u do another video with the tr8s one day? Im looking to upgrade from the tr6s.

[@flo6865]

6:41 I feel it

[@MrLilu31]

are you going to feature the elektron model: samples?

[@adriannunez8868]

What would you recommend over the Digitone? Or more so what other devices could do the same, if not better? I have a TR8 too so I’m very curious. Thanks. Love your vids by the way. Good taste in music and inspiration

[@LucIndustries]

The new synth engine they added makes the TR-8S a lot more versatile, i think they probably added that update on the TR 8 too. but you can just add 1-2 scaled instruments instead of cymbals or rim shots and put some lfo and filters on those to make some cool melodic sections.

[@LucIndustries]

also most synths could "do the same" broadly speaking, really depends on what sounds you want to make and how you want to make them

[@dperez8727]

good morning Ricky. I wanted to see one thing about those two machines that I can't solve. The tr-8s does not change the digitone program on time. If I do the reverse if it works, Digitone changing TR. But I am interested in the Tr-8S being the master so that the digitone makes another instrument a slave. Congratulations on your videos, very good. greetings from the Canary Islands

[@nickjamshidi4126]

whats your fave drum machine you own?

[@chenix.wav_]

Hey! would you recommend pairing up the Digitone with the Digitakt or with the TR8s?

[@chriswinn3612]

Hey Ricky, This video is a few months old as of me posting this reply. I noticed your tr-8 down in your basement studio in another recent video, but you always seem to do videos with one of your drumbrutes. I’m curious if you just didn’t jell with the tr-8 workflow, or if you just find the drumbrutes a bit more “immediate”... or is at simple as you are more comfortable with a given drum machine simply because you have way more hours under your belt with it? Also, I haven’t noticed the digitone in other videos and am curious if there are any reasons for that? Only ask as I love fm synthesis and was considering the digitone as a way to handle it without a computer in the mix. I realize it could be as simple as you got some new toys and they have your attention, or sound more inspiring, at the moment... or you even just like specific drum machines for specific monikers you have.... but I figured i’d ask.

[@Rustik1722]

About to watch looking forward to this.....is the Tone new for your set up or just for vid?

[@kosemoja8348]

Does the tr8s get hot when u use it

[@dandykaufman2]

8:36 double click the filter menu to get to the second filter page it's kind of like a bandpass filter that comes before the main filter!

[@RickyTinez]

oh yea, completely forgot about the "base width" filter

[@kennymusic9345]

nice video Enrique ! I recently got the TR8S too but im struggling to import samples and loops ... could you tell how you did this?

[@RickyTinez]

I totally want to make a video on this. First I need to figure out how the hell to do it LOL

[@kristanzalog7503]

Just throw them in SD card to “Samples” folder. Then press Utility\Sample\import

[@MusicianParadise]

is not a major seventh, it just major triad

[@johnsaigle1679]

Great jam and happy to see the TR-8S join your set-up. Funny that you mention enjoying a phaser on the whole track cause I did exactly that in *my* TR-8S #jamuary video! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4TXeHh3oayFm80 For performing with the TR-8S I find it helps to leave it in mute mode to bring different voices in and out. Easier to push a few buttons at the same time than manage 2+ faders. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@RickyTinez]

Ah good tip!checking your video now

[@gammakeraulophon]

DiJitone not DiGitone... it ain't digging anything.. it is digiitizing it! Obvious really.
