i’m scratching my Head around that Topic right now. I want to get rid of any kind of Interpolation for the Multi’s i created. I know the Methods of adding an “r” or an “_R” at the End of the Filename and updating the .ELMULTI to point to those Filenames … but they dont work.

The Notes are shorter the higher i go up in the Octaves and are longer the lower i go down in the Octaves - even though they were all Auto-Sampled with the same Length. I’ve recorded each and every Note of the Synth in that example. And there’s also a blending happening in the Velocity Layers as well - which is really annoying. I have 16 Velocity Layers that turn the Filter of the Analog Synth down - and that one has a nice Filter Env applied. Sounds totally awesome when triggered with the Sequencer in Velocity Mode - but once recorded, these Layers are smeared together and all the nice Pluckiness - specifically in the lower Velocity Levels (where the Filter is almost closed) - that Pluckiness is gone. Thats not usable that way.

Is there a way to deactivate all that Interpolation Stuff on the Tonverk completely? Including the Blending of the Velocity Layers? So that it steps through the ones it has and keeps the Length of the Notes exactly as they were recorded?

Thx for your help Guys!

[EDIT] I found an entry in the ELMULTI which says: Key-Zones.velocity-layers - and in the Lines below there is an entry called “Strategy = ‘Forward’”. Could this be the area where you can change how it behaves for the Velo Layers? And what should be in there instead of Forward? Does anybody know that?

Ambika can be used as a standalone instrument, in pattern mode you can start the sequencer directly from the performance page by clicking the encoder. Every part has its own note sequence and 2 modulation sequence.

This is a tribute to the great Mutable Instruments designs, so forward looking and ahead of its time, and all open source. Forever grateful.

Anyone knows anything about what is Emilie Gillet working on? I guess if it was instrument design related we already knew. But anyway i was curious what is up with her.

Sound straight from the mix out. Visual is glitchy because is feedback heavy i guess.

There will be more, hopefully better.

Bye​:smiling_face:

P.S. Ambika is a 6 voice hybrid poly synth design by Mutable Instruments, with digital oscillators and analog filters (6 svf cards on this one, the state variabile multimode). You can chose how many voices per parts, in these videos I always used 3 mono parts and one with 3 voice polyphony. It also has individual outputs for the 6 voice cards, but here i just used the (mono) mix out.

(There are also longer videos of the work in progress, they’re all in a playlist on the channel)

I’m not sure if there is a thread dedicated to producers who make tunes respective of the thread’s title, but after getting referred to a few others, I didn’t see much of a representation of this style of music.

I guess to start, this is a palette I feel most comfortable with and as a hobbyist producer (still getting up to speed with my set up), I thought it’d be dope to share tips and tunes that are closely tied to these styles of house music.

For me, artists like Trinidad Deep, Ron Trent, Osunlade, Atjazz, DJ Manoo, CoFlo, Larry Heard, M.A.W., Oveous, Mark Francis, DJ Qu, Kyle Hall, Karizma, Blaze, Marcellus Pittman, Omar S, Theo Parish, Byron the Aquarius, Atjazz, Fred Everything, Chaos in the CBD…all sort of come to mind and fit the bill.

I’m in no way an authority on these sub/genres, but if these resonate with you all, and you don’t know of a thread where this style of music has a home, then perhaps this can be a place where we share these recordings and level up our approach to music making inspired by the aforementioned?

Does this work as well on midi tracks as it does with internal voices? Do you still retain the ability to apply micro-timing, velocity and differing lengths per note when using a midi track for external gear?

Many thanks

I’m wondering if this is possible. I’ve had a decent search but can’t quite seem to find the right info. I’m not too familiar with ableton/overbridge so figured I’d see if anyone can help.

Here’s what I’ve managed so far:

I have audio running from a synth into my digitakt “Input L” which I’d like to live loop.

The digitakt is connected to my laptop via usb. I have a track in ableton which is just playing the audio from “input L”. I have the Looper effect open on this track which I am controlling via midi from the digitakt. This is all working. I can send audio from synth>digi>ableton and make live loops.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

I want to send this looped audio back into digitakt’s “Input R”.

That way I could play something on the synth through input L, loop it in ableton, fade out input L, fade in the loop on input R, and add another layer from the synth with input L, all whilst taking advantage of the digitakt internal fx.

Is it possible to send audio back from ableton to input R via usb and have it route through the internal fx?

I feel like this could be a great way to extend the digi functionality (adding an octatrack style feature). I’m close but can’t quite seem to make it work. Is this possible? Any tips? Or suggestions for similar live looping ideas? (Can’t afford octa rn)

Hopefully if this idea works others could take advantage of it too. Thanks for your help folks!

(Digitakt 1 running 1.52)

I’m trying to figure out, if the following will work:

I have a long sample sliced, into 16 slices and have a 16 step pattern. Step 1 has a trigger.
I have a LFO 1 mapped to the strt parameter. The waveform is coming from the LFO designer.

Is it possible to modulate the strt (sample start) with the lfo designer, so it changes every 1/16 note?

Thanks

For those of you who gig and travel with it, how has it held up on the road? Have you run into any issues, and if so, what do you do to protect it while touring?

Make sounds that shouldn't exist. Fast. A modular for your plugins.

I just saw this on YouTube and it looks very interesting.

Hardware Connection
DTII > Overhub > MacBook Pro
DNII > Overhub > MacBook Pro
ST > Overhub > MacBook Pro
Pioneer V10 > Overhub > Macbook Pro

DAW: Ableton 12 Suite

When I open the overbridge VSTs in new tracks in Ableton, I will route them to the inputs of the V10. For example:

Software Path
DNII > EXT OUT 1/2 > V10 CH 1
DTII > EXT OUT 3/4 > V10 CH 2
ST > EXT OUT 5/6 > V10 CH3

What happens is two of the devices work flawlessly, but one remains silent and has no audio ran to the Overbridge VST. The weird part is when I restart Ableton, this is random. So any 2 of the devices will always work, but one random one will not function. When I check the Overbridge widget, it will state that the non-functioning device is “measuring” and simply won’t activate.

When I run overbridge with my normal interface “MOTU MK5” everything works flawlessly.

Does anyone have any tips or a helpful explanation on why this is happening?

I am working on an open-source wavetable + phase distortion synth plugin with the goal of letting the users draw their own phase distortion transfer functions. So infinite possibilities to explore this synthesis technique. It is based Wavetable from Roland Rabien.

Here’s a quick “demo” video:

Let me know in DM if you are interested

Cheers,

PS: Also potentially looking for help on the UI…

I’ve been thinking about integrating Tonverk into my mixer setup in a slightly unconventional way, and I wanted to check if anyone has tried this before.

The idea is basically to use the Tonverk as an effects unit in a mixer aux loop:

• Mixer Cue/Aux Send → Tonverk INPUT AB
• Tonverk OUTPUT CD → Mixer Aux Return / EXT input

The goal is to have any channel on the mixer go through the Tonverk’s effects chain (reverb, delay, granular, degrader, whatever) and come back into the mix — essentially treating the Tonverk like a hardware effects unit sitting in a send/return loop.

I know the external inputs can be routed to a track or a bus, and from there you get access to insert FX, send FX, the whole chain. But I’m wondering if anyone has actually done this in practice and what the workflow looks like on the Tonverk side to set it up cleanly.

thx you !

Is it just midi?

Do you use the OT to arrange a track, live perform a track? Start to finish on the device itself?

What settings do you use? Master compressor?

How do you arrange/organize stuff? Or do you just mute/unmute manually and wiggle some knobs and a slider?

How do you even mix on this thing???

Based on… New record that I did entirely with live takes off of an Octatrack and AR hit the Juno records best seller list for 2026:

Great stuff there too!

I’ve had the idea for a long time to write a program that would allow my beloved Electribe ER-1 to read and play a 4-voice fugue…mostly because that seemed like the dumbest possible thing I could do with a drum machine. I’m always inspired by the stuff people do with this piece of gear, so if anyone else has stuff they’ve done with Electribes I’d love to see.

Anyway, Scaler Music just released a video for its successor, Carbon Electra 2:

At first glance, it looks like a nice combination of some more exotic synthesis (it reminds me of Conductive Labs’ Terrain Synth) with a simple and uncluttered UI.

Also, just to address the elephant in the room… is this synth’s name supposed to be a pun on Carmen Electra?

I have the Oxi One and like it very much, but I struggle to take it beyond variations of the same thing when using lfo’s and the mod options.

Love to hear your suggestions/best practices.

i saw that there are now the Button Cap Kits are in the Store. There are 2 Versions the original ones and Smooth Surface ones.
Does any one knows if this new once are getting in the same time Sticky from the overlay or are they better? HAs someone tested them ? How do they Feel instead the original ones. As i have nearly all Elektron MAchines and have a lot of Sticky Buttons i just want to get shure before i change all of them.
