Shitā€¦just lost an entire song. Something to do with kits. Oh well, led me to a fun experiment :slight_smile:

I wondered how far I could get from scratch in 30 minutes ā€¦ spent 45 minutes on this little pattern. Of course I have a lot to learn, and I usually spend much more time on a track than 45 minutes :slight_smile:

But ā€¦ itā€™s ā€¦ something :man_shrugging:

Probably 15 superfluous minutes. :content:

ssseeezzzz really nice!

was going to post this in tips and tricks but iā€™m not sure thereā€™s anything in here that most of us donā€™t really know about

some noteworthy things that are mentioned:

  1. how to decouple velocity from volume and assign it to the other parameters to function as a macro control
  2. key tracking is a commonly overlooked feature that can also be assigned to four parameters (five i guess if you count the option on the filter page) and has the potential to get totally wild
  3. mario wink winks about the lfo page now being labeled ā€œmodulationā€ and mentions that there is remaining cpu headroom for updates
  4. marioā€™s contribution to the factory patterns is a05 if you want to take a look at his workflow/mindset
  5. they both mention that this currently either their favorite or the best elektron box

Damned. Youā€™re right, the LFO button was labeled ā€˜LFOā€™ on OG and is now labeled ā€˜modulationā€™. Elektron projects for this II was right before my eyes.

I also noticed it when it occurred to me that it would be could to chose the envelopes in lieu of waveforms in the MOD section.
So hopefully itā€™s coming

Multiple simultaneous destinations per mod source would be a nice addition tooā€¦ even without independent amount controls

Velocity is the only macro control with Control All !
I expemented it a bit with ST, powerfull. You can mix or mangle all tracks with 1 knobā€¦

New modulations are welcome, and new envelopes curves settings for each ADR stageā€¦
Elektron gear lack snappy enveloppes. Exp lfo is a workaround, but lfos are precious.

Iā€™d need more than 4 key tracking destinations in Key Tracking page ! Not overlooked by me btw.

Syntakt updated

Iā€™m totally new to the Elektron ecosystem.

Am finding the sequencer kinda hard to get my head around. Yes, Iā€™ve looked at the manual, but I find vid tutorials are a much easier way for me to grok stuff.
Is it the same basic set-up on the DNII as on the OG DN? That is, if I watch a tutorial explaining the OG DN sequencer, will that explain how to use it on DNII? Or are they quite different?
Forgive my ignorance

Donā€™t have a DN2 but the answer in general is yes. You can get the basics of the DN2 sequencer from learning about the MK1.

Cool, thanks @Jacob

You should be able to get a lot out of DN tutorials for the DN2, although itā€™s worth noting that there are a bunch of improvements and new features in the DN2 that you may want to look for (e.g. newly implemented retrigs, separating probability/fill/conditional trig settings into separate parts, note edit, Euclidean)

Probably at least check out Loopops review of the DN2, he does a good job of pointing all of these things out.

I wonder if parameter slide or some as of yet unnamed feature will appear in the Modulation section in a future update

I enjoyed this and learned something, thanks for sharing it on this thread!
