A M A Z I N G! Such a feeling for Details! Thanks for sharing!

[@hexwavemusic]

Great track, so heavy! And great job not getting murdered by the demons that definitely live in that building 👻😱

[@Davemech]

close call ! I couldn’t record video while fighting them off

[@neilloughran4437]

Always love your passion and work... glad everyone seems to be moving away from TR808/909 to more adventurous tones!

A Berghain Banger! 🔥

[@SpikesStudio3]

Nice one bro! Its like a synth nerds perfect day out. I believe this is the true reason samplers exist. 👍

[@Davemech]

Thanks ! Yeah it’s so much fun. Can’t wait to record the next one

[@carloferro6345]

I've been in that place quite recently, i thought to sample something there but you did a masterpiece here! You're a true genius Dave 🙏

[@Davemech]

Thanks Carlo! Very cool location isn’t it?

[@DJVasC]

Great video and track! I think Elektron loves this video also, a perfect demo what you can do with their stuff 😂.

[@Davemech]

Thank you!

[@EverythingisFire]

That was really cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@Davemech]

Thank you! Have a few planned already :).

More to come for sure ! This type of sound I enjoy the most

This is ferociously powerful! You’re the pure talent, man. Can’t help myself listening to this piece over and over again. Keep on.

Thanks a million Dym ❤️

Love it. I grabbed the sample pack so time for some fun!

Thanks for the support and enjoy ! 🙏

[@christovaoneu]

Amazing work! Quadrantid and DT is such a nice combo :)

[@Davemech]

Thanks! Yeah very. Swarm is really something. Unstable as hell but that makes it so much fun as well

[@TRC_PNW]

@@Davemechyo Dave, is it possible to get the Swarm sequencer to play/stop with the DT play/stop? If so, what’s the trick? I can sequence it using a midi track on the DT, but unable to get it to run the Swarm’s sequencer. It’ll also sync tempo of the sequencer when I run the sequencer by pressing the start/stop button on the Swarm. But yeah, play/stop on DT doesn’t play/stop Swarm’s sequencer for me. Sadness.

[@Davemech]

@@TRC_PNWgood shift while booting plugging in the power cable. Then make sure step 8 led is on, then press start. That’ll activate midi sync. The clock parameter will act as a clock divider. Around noon it will be at normal tempo. Cheers 👍

[@TRC_PNW]

@@Davemech thanks - I have done that as described in the manual. #8 is lit but no dice. I’m pretty certain I’m using the proper midi adapter type…🤔

[@TRC_PNW]

Got it sorted. The DT needed “Transport send” checked in the options. Go figure haha. 🙃

[@benoitheinrich5135]

Oh that motivates me to go out and record stuff!.I really love thart track! hope you release it on Bandcamp (or wherever)!

[@Davemech]

Thanks! Going to send it to labels :)

[@TechTronix01]

Awesome work!!

Cheers Sean!

Now you need to perform in that beautiful space 😮😊

[@Davemech]

Oh man that would be awesome

[@71collective]

Top notch mate 👏👏👏👏👏 Respect from Glasgow 👌

[@Chris-qq7mt]

I got the samples and put them into my bitbox micro sampler. Trigger them by a random lfo. Also run the samples through fx aid. Sounds fantastic, thank you!

[@Davemech]

Cool! Thanks for the support :)

[@kostisv]

shit. i thought i would manage to avoid bying a digitakt but this track kicks ass. awsome!

[@Davemech]

Thanks ! And enjoy 😉

[@BrentSpar1975]

Very cool Dave, the next step is to go to the USA and sample some working Detroit factory or go to Chicago and visit a big warehouse.

[@Davemech]

Thanks! Yeah that would be awesome. Definitely plan on going to the US someday for that and gigs

[@waveshape]

interesting conception!

[@internalreality]

this is absolutely crazy...what an amazing beat omg. id also like to ask when is mastering Digitone part 2 comin out? :)

[@Davemech]

Thanks a lot Filip ❤️ Part 2 is set for Q1 2023!

[@babell9259]

Your music making is great!! Can I make as same way by my Octatrack mk2

Thanks! Octatrack is very powerful. Can take thing into complete madness and beyond.

[@ctrlaltgroove]

sick track

[@MikeHudsontek]

Really cool. What are the 2 fx and how are you using them?

[@Davemech]

Thanks! Raindrops is a delay which is delaying the synth line coming out of the Quadrandid Swarm. The latter is a very cool little synth with all kinds of metal and glassy sounds.

[@donaldpriola1807]

My best samples come from deserted spaces. There is something spirtual (and creepy) about abandoned places.

[@Davemech]

Totally :)

[@Hysteric_Subjects]

Oh man I need local pals who’ll go on these kind of sample collection day hikes lol

[@mattwest8642]

Dave, this is inspirational work man, thanks for sharing! This really is pushing techno forward, away from the same old sample pack sounds. Just wondered if you have the Jomox Resonator? Ive had my eyes on this for a while. Would be cool to mangle some of those sounds through it.

[@Davemech]

Thanks Matt! Hadn’t looked into that one yet really. Seems interesting for sure. Will have a look :) thanks for the tip

[@KSKSKSx2]

Hi Dave, can you please tell me where to find those knobs for swarm

[@Davemech]

Sure! Got them here: www.thonk.co.uk/shop/tall-trimmer-toppers/ These are caps that slide over the original knobs.

Cool Stuff. Which recorder are you using? The 'Gear I use' link in description just appears to be a duplicate of your Thomann affiliate link. Cheers.

[@Davemech]

Thanks 🙏 the recorder I use here is a tascam DR-05. Is listed in the affiliate link :)

[@spooky_zoo]

@@Davemech Thanks Dave. Strangely that was directing me to Thomann Home page earlier, not the gear list. Working now though. :)

[@spooky_zoo]

@@Davemech Another quick question. I checked out a few other vids before your reply and I saw that you were using the Zoom H5 in those. Any pros/cons for using the Zoom over the Tascam or vice versa? Thanks. Love the Sampling vids. So creative!

[@Davemech]

@@spooky_zoo cheers for using the affiliate link 🙏 good question. I currently own the zoom H5 and while the recording quality is a bit better I’m not in love with it to be honest. The tascam has quite a few things going for it: insane battery life, fairly cheap, surprisingly good quality recordings, very compact and light weight, and it boots quick and records quick. The zoom has better mics but battery life kinda sucks, it’s quite bulky and booting and then recording is too slow for me. And it becomes really bad when using bigger SD cards. Missed quite a few awesome sounds because of that. It’s also 2.5 times more expensive. I’m still thinking about selling it for a different recorder but not sure yet which one. I might actually go back to the dr-05. Because imho that’s better suited for quick and easy field recording stuff.

[@spooky_zoo]

@@Davemech Really appreciate that overview. Very interesting! Cheers

Is the Raindrops processing the Swarm?

[@Davemech]

Yep

[@kablehead]

@@Davemech Nice. How do you like the pedal so far?

How u use that pedal

[@Davemech]

Swarm into raindrops

[@Geepstar]

Gewoon uit nieuwsgierigheid. De hoge resolutie samples zijn mono. Is dat een bewuste keuze?

[@Davemech]

Moet het nog even aanpassen op de product pagina maar de mono samples zijn 16/48khz. Reden is dat dit het format is dat Digitakt gebruikt. Stereo 16/41.1 voor samplers zoals Octatrack oa.
