starfield ... digitakt & ventris ... spacey ambient

As a fan of the Bethesda games and science fiction, I can't help but name this spacey ambient track after that game when it comes out on the same day. That wasn't planned.. it happened by accident.. and it just fits.
most of the sounds come from my sound pack for the Digitakt
substan.gumroad.com/l/digisphere
A performance on the Elektron Digitakt & Source Audio Ventris
Recorded in one take into Zoom M4.
Mastered in post.
The project file & music (also in 24bit) is available on Patreon:
/ substan
The great support from my patrons makes all of this possible ... thank you so much guys !!

I'm a simple guy, I see a new video from substan, I press like. 🔥👍

[@substan_music]

🙏

[@fxtreffer]

I am excited. Fine ambient track, the music fits the theme very well! Have a nice weekend!

[@SonicVibe]

Nice! great textures well done impressed this was on a digitakt

[@IonStream]

What a track! The things you can get out of these boxes continues to amaze me. Sounded awesome :)

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot !!

[@JosuaKarlson]

Beautiful🤩. Great samples and composition. Also really nice work on the visuals!

[@substan_music]

Thanks mate !!

[@marcus268]

crazy jam! love it

[@BlackbirdProjectOne]

I just discovered (and subscribed) to your channel and I'm blown away by the sounds you are able to squeeze out of these boxes. Top-notch stuff, and definitely an inspiration!

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot ... and welcome !!

[@the_cursor]

Exquisite mood-setter! That's going straight to my sleep playlist. 👍

[@substan_music]

Thanks mate !!

[@willswitchcraft]

I'm not aware of those games, but this is right up my alley..........love the choice of sounds, and the way this unfolds...............those bits of voices add a nice textural layer...........great viz elements.................deep, dark and delicious

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot mate !! Glad you like it !!

[@ferenclucas2842]

Yeah really amazing job

[@HalfBakedBeats]

Very cool! :)

[@spuntrader4838]

Beautiful work! Makes me want a digitakt asap

[@Sensorium_Studios]

But digitakt will just make you want the Octa, so just skip this step. Haha.

[@spuntrader4838]

@@Sensorium_Studios Eh, not really. I use ableton for my live fx and looping and all of that jazz. Its just far easier to get the same results in a DAW as far as how i would use the OT in a performance. The big reason i want the digitakt is the 8 extra midi channels too.

[@vit9dobro]

svarga🌌🤙

[@jeremyxjones]

Amazing. Do you have your sequencer going when you make these?

[@substan_music]

In this case I totally ignored the sequencer. Just droning or "played" sounds ...

[@alexs.2592]

That's really good, really nice flow. Do you still remember which sounds from the soundpack you used and which sample did you use for the voice?

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot !! ... I would have to look up which sounds I used... the voice sample is Dutch radio traffic from freesound.org which I further processed (distorted) in Ableton.

[@e-conrecords4665]

Nice one mate! I don’t think there are many people out there that could pull this off on the Digitakt. Are you playing Starfield ATM?

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot !! No so much into gaming lately. But a new Bethesda game I can't resist. It's fun.

[@soundtobrain]

Amazing what you get out of the Digi……..What program you use for the animated backround?

[@substan_music]

Thanks ... the pictures are created with midjourney and the video in davinci resolve

[@user-fi4yd2kf6g]

Just one question: how?

[@G0nz0uk]

This is great, it would go so well in the game too. Very atmospheric. Thank you!

[@substan_music]

thanks a lot Andy !!

[@Headphones_Only]

I don’t understand it’s not playing 🤔

[@kantorbernat8263]

He doesnt use the sequencer, he triggers the samples on loop with infinite envelope decay ;)

[@Hakucho64]

Probably he's manually triggering sounds that have an infinite decay.

[@substan_music]

I just didn't use the sequencer at all for this track. If you set the release of the AMP envelope to infinite and loop your sample, then you can trigger the loops manually, and fade them in and out with the track level. That's what I did here.

[@edjefferson9175]

beautiful stereo sound field with a mono sampler!

[@dieterkalt4281]

wobbly knobs typical elektron

[@substan_music]

It's not that bad... totally fine
