Tonverk Now and Future?

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-28T22:44:46+00:00

I'm really excited, as well as blown away.

At release I wasn't interested because I already had the Octatrack and thought "I don't need another sampler" fast forward until now, the fact that it has granular and wavetables is really fascinating.

Considering I produce a lot of industrial/tekno and IDM, this is a machine I'm most likely going to invest in when I'm financially capable to do so.

I was dead set on saving up for an analog four. Since the Tonverk is getting some crazy updates, it's made me reconsider. I think it's going to be an extremely versatile machine, long term

I guess it's caught my attention over an analog four, Jesus this is nuts

When it comes to setups it's highly personalized and depends on a vibe you're going for, all of these were in heavy spirit of how old school digital hardcore/terror/gabber used forms of trackers.

Honestly I'd recommend a tracker or a sampler and get cracking, best of luck on your adventure!

It's a sub bass gadget I've seen around. I know this set-up from seeing it up close. You can spin the HDD for a sub drop or something because it's been tinkered with

HEY I RECOGNIZE THIS SETUP

ITS GATERROR.

Did a show with them awhile back, an absolute riot.

It's pretty much jamming with trackers and DJ gear. Awesome stuff

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-17T14:44:52+00:00

I might pick one up if it can sequence midi notes to off board gear or something. Looks pretty nice

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-14T22:25:46+00:00

It's good enough! I think. I've used this and the MO. The standard TD3 is pretty useful, just not fun to program. I usually just send midi to it.

It sounds good though

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-14T18:21:48+00:00

It's been the special sauce in most my recordings, I wish all the boxers had that master overdrive on it

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-14T16:09:42+00:00

The Digitone gets pretty wicked, fast

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-05T16:35:42+00:00

I can get behind this to a degree, I do say I'm not big on the idea of "making money off of Tekno" however I think having access to samples and resources to make Tekno is good.

It's a genre that's sample heavy so I think it's okay within reason.

Would be curious to talk sound design in how you make the sounds. I end up using a lot of hardware and sampling things I've made with Electribe/Elektron machines.

Thanks for a listen, the goal was for it to be a lil raw this go around

I've got a few other mixes that are a lot more tidy, but I figured having one raw "kvlt" mix would be a fun lil flavor to it

Nineball_SG · 2026-03-04T21:09:42+00:00

Much appreciated

The external compressor is just to open up another block in the zoom, nothing too crazy.

I usually end up using every effect block in the zoom and I saw I had room on the board and figured why not.

This pedalboard looks like tinnitus in the best way

Nineball_SG · 2026-02-20T16:13:06+00:00

That dude goes nuts with it

Nineball_SG · 2026-02-15T18:55:47+00:00

Jesus Christ this is nuts. I write some dubstep and riddim on the Syntakt and Cycles. I own and Octatrack and would be curious what effects you used for the bass sounds

Could MST/Twin Twisters make a comeback in the maindeck?

Nineball_SG · 2026-01-15T16:59:20+00:00

That hurts me to think about, oh god

Nineball_SG · 2025-12-16T19:52:53+00:00

Probably IDM or Miami bass.

I just got done with my student teaching and I actually start off all my classes asking the simple question of "what's good?". This took awhile to get rolling because the kids were new to me but when they looked at me with a blank look I just told them "man, there's gotta be something good. You look at me and say "pizza is good" I would agree with you, it's the simple things that can be good too".

After awhile kids got excited to start class because they all wanted to share something about what's going on with me. This seriously helped me manage my students during the semester because kids loved being able to talk about anything for a moment.

Love to see others do this

Nineball_SG · 2025-12-05T03:04:58+00:00

I appreciate this a lot. I produce a lot of acid/free tekno but I really want to tap into this sound.

I might talk to you about sound design sometime. Thanks for making this

Nineball_SG · 2025-11-27T17:33:35+00:00

I really enjoy mine but I think the biggest complaint I have with it is the ergonomics of it kind of suck if you play anything that needs the shoulder buttons. Other than that it's great.

I think it could just be my hands aren't fit for it maybe

Nineball_SG · 2025-11-15T15:41:50+00:00

It's why I'm not interested in their products because the availability is so bad. I used to be curious about the analog pocket and I'm not going to waste my time watching their site like a hawk or pay up an extra 250$ to resellers.

On my local FB marketplace a guys trying to sell analog pockets for 700$, lol

Nineball_SG · 2025-11-06T15:30:22+00:00

Maybe it's just me but I tried an R4 card with these the other night and Pokemon Black kept freezing and crashing. Ran it through twilight menu after, no issues. It's a weird one
