LA Protesters Aren’t Inviting Violent Authoritarianism, They’re Mobilizing to Stop It in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] Triflingmagoo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I hope these protests continue indefinitely.

I hope more and more and more people join these protests. Enough so, where the economy is drastically affected each and every day.

More people protesting = less people working = less money for the states = less money for the federal government.

We can stand our ground, defend ourselves physically, as well as hurt the economy financially.

In other words, I’m wanting a little bit of anarchy. Just the tip.

Elektronautica Roll Call - Say Hello! in c/Elektronautica@sh.itjust.works
[–] Triflingmagoo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Hey, I'm Aris. Been a knob twiddler since 2002. Started with software trackers and eventually moved on to Ableton. But I realized I just like having something tactile under my fingers.

These days, I mostly work with the Digitakt II, the Digitone, and the Syntakt. They call it the "Digi Trinity," but I call it enough.

I'm into building full tracks live. I love filming my performances in one take. No DAW edits, no fluff.

I'm also a naughty troll, but I'm working on that in therapy.

Happy to be here in this community...I hope I am not speaking to just myself (fingers crossed!).

Hey Folks!

I figured it's time for a little roll call. This community is still pretty quiet, so I'd love to hear who's out there.

Introduce yourself below. If you feel like it, share what gear you use (Elektron or otherwise), what kind of stuff you like to make, or why you ended up here instead of the usual Reddit circuit.

Whether you're into gritty sound design, polished performance sets, or just pressing buttons and hoping something cool happens, you're in good company.

I'll start things off in the comments.

Slowing the Sequence | Digitakt II in Song Mode (youtu.be)
 

Wanted to slow things down with this one. The Digitakt II is running at 85 BPM, with six patterns chained together in Song Mode. It’s a quiet kind of track—dusty, a little hypnotic, fragile, and introspective.

The kick, snare, and conga samples are all stock Digitakt II, but everything else comes from my own Digitone sample collection—self-recorded over time.

As always, everything was created “in the box,” captured in a single take, straight to audio. I ran the final track through Ableton for a light touch of limiting.

Thanks for sitting with it.

Elektron Overbridge Multitrack Streaming - Superbooth 2025 (youtu.be)
 

While we haven’t been introduced to new hardware yet, this is a step in the right direction for Elektron.

I personally am not a heavy Overbridge user, but I’m fairly certain many of you are pleased with this update.

Whats the best opera to listen to falling asleep? in c/musicproduction@sh.itjust.works
[–] Triflingmagoo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe not a true opera in the sense, but I love falling asleep to Devil Doll’s “Dies Irae” album. If you like spooky, you’ll love the LP.

It’s not streaming, but you can listen to the whole thing on YouTube.

Hello, you. You found it. The corner of the Fediverse where Elektron heads can breathe.

This is not an official Elektron community. We’re just users. Confused, obsessive, eternally tweaking the same pattern for three hours straight while wondering if we’re even doing it right.

Half the time we don’t know if it’s genius or garbage, and that’s exactly why we’re here.

Post your:

  • Setups
  • Performances
  • Sample packs
  • Workflow tips
  • Questions/Mod complaints
  • Breakdowns (musical or personal)
  • Anything else that's on your mind when you're stoned at midnight and have something to say

Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Elektron.

Drop a comment and introduce yourselves!

Let’s make some noise.
