Overview

Status: Available

Frequency Modulation (FM) synths are often described as being unintuitive and complex to program. Elektron's Digitone was designed from the ground up to make FM synthesis more accessible but still amazingly powerful. In this course, synth expert Thavius Beck takes an in-depth look at this unique FM/subtractive hybrid to help you get the most out of it.

First, Thavius covers the basic of how FM synthesis works. You learn all about algorithms, frequency, operators, the relationship between carriers and modulators... all that fun stuff! After explaining how to start a new project from scratch, Thavius dives into sound design. You learn to create all kinds of sounds using envelopes, LFOs, filters and the on-board effects. Of course, Elektron's legendary step sequencer is also covered in detail...

So watch this course, and discover the unlimited creative possibilities of Elektron's Digitone with the awesome Thavius Beck!

Excellent! These videos made learning this machine a lot easier (and quicker) than reading a manual. My confidence and familiarity with the Digitone have grown really quickly.

Thavius Beck is the master of explaining complex hardware in a way a beginner can grok it and begin to understand the sonic possibilities. I would highly recommend any of his videos, and this one took me from a novice with Elektron gear, to really understanding how the Digitone works.

This is a must for every new owner of the Digitone. I just got mine and without this tut I would be lost. Thavius makes it a joy to watch and learn. I love his teaching style. Big thanks!

So glad I found this! Really helps you jump back into the Digitone when you need a refresher. I did it all in one day in a few hours and I was back into my babyyyy again. Thank you!

If you have just bought a Digitone and found the user guide that came with it confusing, this course is for you. It is not very long so you can complete it in a day or so but by the end you will be creating music and have an understanding of all the Digitone features.
