That was something special. Very nice variety of sounds and textures. I love that Bassline synth! Haven’t seen anyone rock it like that before. Well done! Very uplifting for me. 👍👍

[@EZBOT_]

Hey Rob, glad you liked it!

[@EZBOT_]

"Hey um, we're here Laslo" Originally i sampled myself saying: "Hey, I am hear if you need help."

[@identitylounge]

Love the piano, pitched voice, bass riff and the new tape on the OTMK2! Stellar as expected.

[@EZBOT_]

That's actually the JU-06A! Pitched down :P

[@EZBOT_]

You like that new tape!? Haha

[@JamesFredrickson]

I expected some deep house with that vocal sample and was pleasantly surprised with this excellent performance. The reintroduction of the side chained bass at the 4:50 mark really got me grooving :)

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you so much, I take the performance part very seriously! Thanks for checking it out :)

[@adamstetzer2349]

Another killer track Matt. I’m really digging this older stuff. In our next lesson, I’d love to hear why you retired the Bassline from your deck. This was obviously pre-Syntakt, but still. I will also head over to the side chain tutorial now. Thanks for posting!

[@SDuplic]

That Bassline cuts through the mix like a techno knife, wunderbar

[@EZBOT_]

Haha, best comment!

[@ignaciocasaburi5300]

Really cool track, love this sound and the setup you're using !

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!

[@travisdumais2538]

juicy thank you for nourishing my ears

[@EZBOT_]

Ohhh, you are very welcome!

[@kwaping]

Outstanding! Very inspiring to me. I have an MPC, and a DB-01 on order. I hope to make something this good someday!

[@EZBOT_]

I believe you can! Thank you :) The DB-01 is fantastic

[@steampoweredcid5064]

Dude. Thanks for the banger.

[@EZBOT_]

You are very welcome my bestest friend!

[@howardanderson3061]

Really nice, I love the opening sound of panned piano.... and and well everything else for that matter. Have you done or thought about doing a live stream? that would be great do have fans join in live and ask questions. Anyway really digging what you've been doing.

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks! That is pitched down Roland JU-06A that I recorded. Sounds a lot like a piano though, doesn't it. I do stream a bit on Twitch and have twice in the last week but I should do some KZbin streaming!

[@lol29aka29na]

Dope duder!

Thanks cuz!

[@mrnessss]

yeah man! wow 🤘

[@KimbleMcCann75]

Oh man, so dope - thanks for sharing! Inspiring, yo!

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

cool stuff! I would to grab the DB01 and LXR02 to use with my Elektrons and Virus. Maybe add in the Jomox Alphabase MK2 as well.

[@Pixeljunky1979]

Respect! Like it very much!

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!!

[@grandmasterjo1]

Really nice bass synth fat and sweet Great track 👍👍👍

[@EZBOT_]

Jo! Great to see you again :)

[@dreamdealer]

this thing sounds great man, fat and deep.

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks so much! It's a really fun set up and the DB-01 is almost perfect.

[@ex1stenz]

That sound with Ping pong delay… man i felt phisical pleasure! How do you do that super sound??😮

[@PatchwerksSeattle]

Hey, um we're here Laslo!

[@manfrombkk]

Fantastic!

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!

[@cristiansoto2001]

Great !!! What tutorial you follows ?

[@EZBOT_]

I make the tutorials! :) I have quite a few

[@DubWang]

Very good 👍

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you!

[@paulmerkelbach452]

Hey man, I just found your video and I hope you are the person who can help me with my problem. I have a TR8S, Syntakt and I want to get a Bassline, but I can't figure out how to connect them all together. If you can explain how you set them up I would really appreciate it!🙏

[@robertbenj]

This is wonderful! Do you mind sharing how you made the sound that fades in at 0:37?

[@EZBOT_]

DB01 into reverb with side chain pumping effect. I made a tutorial on my channel to do this

[@robertbenj]

@@EZBOT_ Thanks so much!

[@robertbenj]

@@EZBOT_ Just subbed to your Patreon, thanks for all the work you've put into your tutorials and this channel, it's really inspiring stuff ✨

[@EZBOT_]

@@robertbenj thank you! Happy to have you on board :)

[@CHURF]

Really nice Jam. After rewatching after a few month, I have a question regarding the DB-01. It feels like there is sonne kind of automation on the resonance, how do you achieve this? Again, really nice piece of music, would be happy to see another video with the same setup. Cheers Mate!

[@EZBOT_]

I did it over MIDI with the Digitakt, bit it’s only control of the frequency cutoff. You have MIDI control of frequency cutoff, pitch bend, and notes

[@CHURF]

@@EZBOT_ seems obvious, but didn‘t know, this is possible. Still new to Midi and stuff 😅. Guess I start diggimg some manuals. Thanks for the answer and looking forward to a new video with that setup 😉

[@EZBOT_]

@@CHURF thanks! Happy to help and glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RealBassPhat]

Wow this is incredible, breathtaking, beautiful! How did you do the sidechain? Volume parameter locks on Digitakt which is sequencing the DB-01?

[@EZBOT_]

Tutorial on that question exactly coming this weekend! Trigless trigs + inverted expo envelope + subtracting filter width. I might have it up by tomorrow

[@KF7IJZ]

Is the DB-01 playing its own sequence, or is that coming from the OT or DT? This was a great track!

[@EZBOT_]

It was being sequenced by the Digitakt. Thank you!

[@viktorlewis3058]

How did you the combo with the delay on the DB-01 and OT at around 2:30? Out of this world sound!!!!

[@EZBOT_]

You mean the fast plucks?

[@viktorlewis3058]

@@EZBOT_ yup, OT retrigs?

[@EZBOT_]

@@viktorlewis3058 that is single cycle waveforms on the DT. The last note of the sequence had a pitch LFO on it and delay.

[@viktorlewis3058]

@@EZBOT_ Crazy. I'll have a mess around and try to reproduce it on my own DT. Thanks!

[@viktorlewis3058]

@@EZBOT_ and how come it gets triggered when you move the OT crossfader?

[@RajaSandhu]

That’s so damn nice.

[@RajaSandhu]

I got the DB-O1 the other day, the box is full of charms

[@EZBOT_]

Thank you! Yeah, I love it!

[@mrthemaster793]

How long would it take to get these 3 machines and get to this level? Serious question!

[@EZBOT_]

I've been a song writer since I was a child, I am not sure how much that plays into it. As far as technically you could get pretty good like a year or less/ I teach lessons if you're interested. ezbot.live

[@adamstetzer2349]

I took a lesson with Matt a few weeks ago. I highly recommend him!

[@cls6200]

Very cool track! What did you use for capturing the audio for the video? Mix sounds so clean

[@EZBOT_]

Octatrack output directly into the RME Fireface UCX

[@toneotone4813]

🤔 🔥😎

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks, I think!

[@toneotone4813]

Your creativity is inspiring..

@@toneotone4813 Thank you!

[@tomstolik]

Can Erica Synths DB-01 play like tb303? (oryginal acid sound W/O Erica features)

[@EZBOT_]

Absolutely! It's not a tb303 though but it can sound very close

[@tomstolik]

@@EZBOT_ I'm just looking for 303 alternatives in hardware. my type is mb33 ;)
