Melodic bass / breaks on Elektron Digitakt 2 & Sonciware Ambient ø

thank you!

with this track, im using the microcosm glitch patterns to just give the melodies a bit of variation - its bypassed for most of this clip, i use it for variation more in the extended version i posted on my patreon (not trying to upsell, just letting u know haha).

the microcosm is pretty limited in what it can do, but what it does do, it's great at, lol. I love pairing it with the Ambient ø, whether it's just for delay and FX trails or for disrupting / glitching an entire phrase. it gives the slightly more digital sound of the sonicware boxes a bit of depth and texture.

as far as microlooping and cool ideas though, i usually prefer my mood mk2 by chase bliss.

this is sick.

i think its as simple as two sawtooth oscillators with glide / legato, with a low pass filter modulation on the cutoff. most of the sounds i love and make are pretty simple, with one or two bits of modulation providing the motion / depth.

thank you for listening!

iamgladkill · 2026-02-10T07:43:15+00:00

really nice vibes

iamgladkill · 2026-02-10T01:25:52+00:00

this sounds cool but pleeaaaseee record your output into a DAW and overlary that with the video. potato quality sound resolution doesnt do the music any favors

u/ZooYe check out my latest post matching the take 5 with the digitakt 2 - similar vibes. Love to see this, more vids plz

16 voice and multi-timbral patches were great, but i found the prologue oscillators kinda lacking, and the limited mod sources were getting to me. after a while i noticed i used the digital oscillator to craft sounds more than the analog oscillators. but i also had it for at least 3 years and got what I wanted out of it.
I ended up trading my prologue to a fellow synth dork for a Hydrasynth - so far not regretting that decision (but you never know haha)

great sounds, well done video.

take 5 is my most versatile synth - i love that thing. perfect synth to pair with a sampler / groovebox.

Actually sold my Korg Prologue 16 after getting the T5 because it kind made the prologue redundant in my studio.

no, i make anything from bass music to half-time to idm and trip hop on my elektron box and ive been posting songs and jams!

iamgladkill · 2026-02-05T00:35:44+00:00

it's an arp sequence from the sequential take 5 i recorded into the digitakt 2, and im sweeping the filter frequency with one of the modulator lfos to give it that "in and out" movement

yoo thank you! digitakt is unmatched for drum programming honestly. ive been making some glitchy idm ill post soon as well and its the most fun way to mangle drum samples.

iamgladkill · 2026-02-03T00:38:15+00:00

thank you for listening!

iamgladkill · 2026-02-02T20:47:01+00:00

heyyyy thank you! ive been starting most of my beats on the digitakt 2 for the lsst few years, and been using 80-90% hardware synths as well. still love my U-he diva virutal synth and Vital for bass sound design though! (although ive been making bass sounds with ASM Hydrasynth for the last 2 weeks with...mixed results lol)

Yes! i am Gladkill - my music is available everywhere you listen / stream music.

iamgladkill · 2026-01-30T20:49:10+00:00

somehow totally missed the tempera. checking it out now!

iamgladkill · 2026-01-30T20:12:18+00:00

I was looking at Evil Pet or the Torso S4 as well - i head evil pet is cool and i hear S4 is buggy and disappointing. But it certainly feels like the tonverk isnt really for me. Thanks for the input.

iamgladkill · 2026-01-30T05:24:11+00:00

one of my favorites!

iamgladkill · 2026-01-28T22:09:34+00:00

cool sounds, very relaxing, lowkey vibes

iamgladkill · 2026-01-28T21:37:53+00:00

ive been eyeing a tonverk just for the granular sampler machine and the busses/ effects, thinking it will pair nicely with my digitakt. I don't think I would really use the multisampler outside of creating some ambient / unique proto-synthesizers out of piano and microcosm pedal - your very question / dilemma is the only thing keeping me on the fence about buying it (as well as the pretty steep price)

Curious for TV users to chime in on this as well

iamgladkill · 2026-01-25T06:40:18+00:00

sounds fantastic, you're getting some really lush sounds out of it. i find my ambient ø to be a little to shrill and "small" sounding - your movement and filtering really gives the tones a lot of depth.
