Damn, this is the best use of the Syntakt’s engines I’ve heard maybe ever. Halftime IDM psy dub. More like this please.

[@rumo201]

Cool track! ✌️

[@christdolphin69]

i'd really like to see the mastering chain for this

[@substan_music]

There really isn't much that's exciting... it's pretty conventional mastering. a little EQ and compression and of course a limiter at the end. But nothing that would fundamentally change the sound during mastering... it might sound a little corny, but it's MUCH more important how the mix sounds. Mastering works best when it's just the icing on the cake ;)

[@SpikesStudio3]

Yeah really enjoyed that. How good are these machines together?! Syntakt gets hot though. Its funny that everyone, including me, puts the digitakt on the left. 🤔Have subbed. 👍

[@SonicVibe]

nice

[@systemG3000]

Excellent! This one really had me tapping my toes. Question, if you wanted is it possible to record those adjustments you made during the song so that it would do that automatically next time? Thanks! Cheers

[@substan_music]

Thanks ... You can of course record parameter changes in the sequencer. But the way you probably mean it would only be possible with the help of a DAW and overbridge.

[@Li4m_cha]

Hi I love your music bu how you do your screech bass in anomaly song Do you have sample pack with this preset ?

[@substan_music]

Thanks !! Yes ... this bass is part of my sound pack for the Digitone .. link is in the description of the video.
