I am a woodworker. I have carved many a spoon, built a lot of furniture, and have spent a great deal of time trying to perfect something I thoroughly enjoy doing. I do not know if the analogy in the beginning was meant for anything other than a simplification, but it spoke to me on a level that I haven't had yet in regards to music production. This is definitely one of those epiphany moments. Thank you for this.

I've owned a ton of drum machines, Casio RZ-1, Roland R5, Boss DR-110, Boss DR-55, Boss DR-550, Korg Electribe Sampler (original and the current one), Behringer RD-8, all great machines. The R5 was my favorite until I used the Digitakt, honestly the Digitakt is the best drum machine/sampler of all time. The depth of programming ithas, while being pretty easy to use is jaw dropping. Elektron are amazing too with their support and updating the machine plus adding features.

I have always loved the LFOs for sound design on the digi. It’s funny that currently I’m not sequencing directly on digi (using oxi one) but I still use its numerous other features. This video is literally what I’m working on rn, I’m using each bank to create a different kit and programming LFOs on each channel to make things feel more alive and breathing. This “box” is truly incredible bc of its ingenious interface, so much depth yet so simple 🥹☺️

been using the LFOs heavily for stuff like this since the fabled second-LFO update. can for example especially recommend modulating the sample pitch with LFO1, modulating LFO1 speed with LFO2, setting both to triggered instead of free, disabling LFO triggering by default and triggering them deliberately in your sequence (thats a lot of triggering lol). Adjust speed, shapes and depth to taste. Not all depth values work well but the ones that do create these instant super-rubbery grooves. love it

I notice a lot of people struggling with SPD ald MULT settings of the LFO when trying to sync it with the tempo. There are tables in the manual, but there is also a formula for that: s=2048/(SPD*MULT) will give you the number of trig steps for values of SPD and MULT. So divide 2048 by SPD and divide that by MULT and you get the number of steps for a whole cycle of the LFO.

Brilliant demonstration. One thing that isn’t mentioned is that if you wish to keep the groove consistent over reboots, you should think of setting, for the very first trig, the LFO "mode" setting to “trig”. If you don't, your groove might be different next time you switch on, as the phase of the LFO might not be the same, while all the groove depends on it.
