Dungeon Synth on Digitone // Vermis I - Silver Swamp

[@JosuaKarlson]

I just released a sound pack for the Digitone with the sounds I used for my Vermis songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5TOm5SspdedbMU

[@sen097]

so good

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thanks 👍

[@sleepalaska]

man, this is just what the doktor ordered. thanks for the endless inspiration josh. I'll be getting this asap to contribute to this "new wave" of vermis dungeon synth. V E R M I S

[@JosuaKarlson]

So nice, thank you! I am glad you are into it:). Love Vermis, love DS⚔️🎃🖤

[@sleepalaska]

@@JosuaKarlson yeee, idk but this was a comment that was supposed to be for the dungeon synth sound pack, mustve been commenting on the wrong video at the time lol, either way, yeah man awesome shit!

[@twentyxfy6573]

I need a whole mix with these jams bro!!! they are amazing, keep going

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thank you, there will be an album in that manner 😊

[@LH000100]

Imagine my surprise to find this rad Vermis based DS via the algorithm today! Imagine my surprise doubled when I realized It's one and the same as Radagast! I got the Yavanna CS from Yuggoth last year. Downside: now I have a deep want for a digitone. Every silver cloud has a dark lining, I suppose.

[@Vingul]

"Yavanna CS from Yuggoth" LMAO at the mixed worlds here

[@JosuaKarlson]

That's so cool! Sometimes the algorithm does a great job

[@JosuaKarlson]

And thanks for buying the tape! I appreciate that a lot 🙏

[@tastyhaze2058]

Awesome track, man. It honestly reminds me a lot of Hyper Light Drifter, in a very good kind of way. Love the ambiance.

[@JosuaKarlson]

That's a very big compliment! Thank you 😊

[@joepolophotography]

​@@JosuaKarlson I see you took it to heart and made a fantastic Hyper Light Drifter track about it

[@TheCombineOverlord]

In love with this track. It makes me feel sad.

[@JosuaKarlson]

🥹🖤🙏

[@Fuchsfein]

Absolutely love this. Reminds me of 70s ambient electronica. I never heard of Dungeon Synth as a genre before but now I'm intrigued to look out for more music like this. Praised be the KZbin algorithm for suggesting something deeply enjoyable this time.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Many thanks! I am very much inspired by people like Klaus Schulze or Vangelis e.g. There isn't a ton of Dungeon Synth in this particular manner but I can recommend some if you need guidance 🌝⚔️🖤

[@el_dani]

@@JosuaKarlsongive us guidance or should we just go for the 1990 Mortiis stuff?

[@sleepalaska]

hell yeah.. been addicted to your vermis tracks. glad to have a new one!

Hehe thank you

Dude, this is awesome. Two of my favorite things in one video

Thanks mate

Again with the immaculate vibes! This music helps so much while I'm writing stuff for my shadowdark game.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Amazing! I would love to play that 👍. Many thanks

i can feel the still waters and smell the fog whit this

[@unpopular_mechanics]

These videos led to me finding out about Vermis. The books are on their way to my house. Thank you.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Makes me happy to make another Vermis fan. Plastiboo is such a great artist

[@darksunarts]

It sounds so Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill). Fantastic stuff, man. Very different from my soon to be uploaded take on the Silver Swamp, that's for sure.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Many thanks! I am very curious about your take. Drop a link over here when it's done:)

[@Arum638]

Vermis being one of my latest obsessions, I'm looking forward to the full release and perusing your discography!

[@JosuaKarlson]

Mine too! Thank you, I will keep you guys posted. Also check Hollow Press once in a while for releases:)

@@JosuaKarlson Plastiboo announced a new book called Godhusk, did you see that? It looks cool, scifi themed. Comes out in a few days I think.

[@JosuaKarlson]

​@@RashFever26Yeah I did see that! I will definitely get that one as well:)​@RashFever26

[@ryushogun9890]

This is pretty good, reminded me of early 2000s atmospheric OSTs and also specifically the Ipad game Sword and Sworcery.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thank you!!!

[@Tomorrowomari]

This is outstanding. I didnt know the Digitone was capable of this.

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thanks! It's a very versatile device

[@DirtySmovePeace]

This is so good, chill and dream on it, my fantasy video gameing time of 1998

[@JosuaKarlson]

Awww, that sounds lovely 🙂

[@trumanandnoahproductions1159]

Thank you

[@alvarosanchez5191]

I really love your Channel. I would like to do this kind of music. I already have one hydrasyth and one microfreak, but i think i need more tracks and sequence possibilities. Do you recommend the dígitone (or digitackt)?

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thank you! You have two gems already. If you don't want to spend much money get a sequencer like the Korg series or Circuit tracks, Polyend Tracker...If you got the cash, both Elektron devices you mentioned are awesome. I would go for digitakt since you got two synths but no sampler yet.

[@alvarosanchez5191]

@@JosuaKarlson thanks!! I'll check the Korg sequencer also, because it's true that the digitakt os expensive. But if the workflow of the digitackt IS good, i think i would prefer It, as i could play without too many cables haha (something like microfreak).

[@SPanuccioMusic]

"Dungeon synth" huh? Interesting concept. And now I've gone down a short rabbit hole of what Vermis is and games that don't exist. Reminds me of the early 2000s when people were shooting and cutting trailers to movies that don't exist as small Indy film projects. This definitely brings back nostalgia of the late 80s/early 90s. Subscribed ☺️

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thank you, this kind of nostalgia is exactly what I am striving for!:)

[@Lobstertrapprr]

this slaps i always forget how powerful my digitone is

[@JosuaKarlson]

It's a beautiful synth!

[@HorusandSanguinius]

Ima use this for my dnd game

[@JosuaKarlson]

Awesome! That's what it's there for:)

[@mutantmanfred]

Luv this!

[@_Trash_Panda]

Hi, very sick tune ! How do you change patterns without touching anything (since digitone doesn't have a song mode) ? Is the digitone controlled via another sequencer ?

[@daviddelahaye21]

The Digitone DOES have a song mode (updated firmware) but it doesn't seem activated here, so I was wondering the same... perhaps various slowly modifying LFO?

[@JosuaKarlson]

It's a function called "pattern chain". Just simply hold down the patterns you want to play in a chain together:)

[@daviddelahaye21]

@@JosuaKarlson Of course! That makes total sense

[@kaitlyn__L]

Ooh, nice weak-resolution! (Without going and analysing too carefully, did you finish on the 6th degree?) Definitely adds to the spooky, misty, murky, unknown depths of the swamp :)

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thanks:). What exactly do you mean?

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@JosuaKarlson scale degrees, harmonic function, resolutions It’s the equivalent of going “shave and a hair…”(weak resolution) instead of “shave and a haircut” (maximum tension). Most are familiar with that ditty. So a “strong” resolution would just be letting it finish and going “two bits!” So yeah. “Weak” resolutions are used a lot in mysterious and/or angsty music because they give a sense of trailing off. Rather than tying everything into a neat bow like a “strong” resolution does.

[@Limbic1000]

Man those are the main thing that make me want to buy a digitone and not a digitakt. Curious however, what made you select digitone over syntakt ?

[@JosuaKarlson]

Thanks, the Digitone has a much deeper Synth engine than the Syntakt for sure. Both great tools, but usefull in different propertys

Not sure how Dungeon Synth this actually is, but cool track nonetheless.

I call it Dungeon Synth cause it's simple fantasy ambient music made on hardware synthesizers😊⚔️🫀. Thanks anyways!
