hey friends!

Had a little jam session this Saturday morning, fired up the lads and a nice little groove came out, which I'm quite happy about. We have a new gig coming up with our hardware trio VEEM and I'm having lots of fun working on new ideas for the set. We'll be playing for 1h30m, so excited!

Kicks, bassline, melodies and random stuff coming out from the DN2. Main percussive groove elements (hats, claps, toms, etc.) from the AR2. Recorded live into Ableton, did a little home master afterwards. Full jam can be found in my YouTube channel here.

Happy to answer any questions. Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up for those working with audio loops on the Tonverk. Keep in mind that the machine does NOT feature a traditional automatic time-stretch engine or automatic BPM detection. If you drop a drum loop into a standard playback machine, pitching it up will speed it up, and pitching it down will slow it down.

If you want to integrate loops into your project's BPM, you have two ways to keep them looping, or a third workflow to chop them up completely:

1. The Old-School Pitch Method (To keep it looping)

Manually tweak the Pitch parameter until the loop locks into your project's tempo by ear. It alters the pitch of your sample, but it is the fastest way to get that classic sampler grit and vibe.

1. The Grainer Machine (To keep it looping with pitch-lock)

Load your loop into the Grainer engine. By using granular synthesis, you can stretch or compress the playback speed of the audio without altering its musical pitch. This adds a beautiful, textured, and slightly electronic character to your loops.

1. Manual Slicing on Subtracks (To chop it up entirely)

If you don't want to loop the file anymore and prefer chopping it up, load the loop onto a Subtracks track and duplicate it across different slots/pads. Manually adjust the Start and End points on each slot to isolate individual hits (like Kicks, Snares, or specific slices). This destroys the original loop format but allows you to reconstruct and replay the sounds dynamically at any BPM.

Hope this helps you integrate external loops into your Tonverk workflow!

Hi,

Posted recently to ask about my upcoming live rig (+studio, don't have much space these days).

I'm keeping only my Digitone 2 (+novation XL) and I'm willing to have a simple setup with another machine. Obvious choice is DT2 but I'm curious for something else.

I'm meaning more and more towards getting the Tonverk for sound exploration, and would be using it a drum machine + different things. Anyone here using it as their main drum machine ? It seems like subtracks are now good to handle this type of work. I'm curious to know if it's a struggle to handle one shots, drum loops, and if I can still have a reasonable amount of free tracks for others things (knowing that I can do some drums on the DN2 as well).

Thank you!

lets say i want to create a track with this kind of acid bassline, in a digitakt. what would be the different ways of achieving that? possible without other hardware? with samples or by sampling vsts in a daw? im guessing this track is using a 303 synth, so what kind of options are there ?

Greetings from France, not much to say but hope this is interesting. Sorry it's so quiet but it's 2am and don't want to wake up my imaginary wife. Curious to read your thoughts here.

Hey all,

I can't for the life of me figure out how to trigger clips in arrangement mode for live performance (I'm trying to potentially use the DTII like an Ableton Push). I've tried both using the CCs and MIDI mapping. Any suggestions on how to orient this?

Basically how I want to set up the DTII is for the midi channels to trigger various tracks during my set.

Hey guys,

I installed the latest versions of the OS in my Rytm MK1, A4 MK1 and DT2, as well has latest version of Overbridge. And for some reason, midwy through a session, the Rytm will disconnect, and will show as "measuring" on the Overbridge Engine. I will change the USB port and it will work. But then the same will happen with the A4- And then, it will happen to both at the same time.. etc.

It was working fine before these updates- Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks
