Flavio Bánterla

Thanks guys!!! Could you check #78 and #79, maybe not included in the list? :)

Captain Pikant
>>105554009

We will soon make a call for pattern recommendations. Be sure to look out for that and throw that pattern into the hat, then people can vote on it :)

Bogdan Stochin

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it!

Simon Young

A deconstruction of Pete Shelley's Witness The Change would be great.

Captain Pikant
>>106466540

Haven't heard that one before, sounds like a Linn LM-1 judging by the Hand Clap. We'll make a call for patterns soon to collect entries for the upcoming poll, be sure to enter it then :)

Thaddeus Hess

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Michael Ner

I appreciate all the work you put into your productions and references. I've learned a lot and got introduced to many songs I missed in the past.

AfroGrit

Just joined from watching the videos ~ love you work Captain Pikant and the Intern

Gwenael Couvidat

Join the Patreon for all of this work ! I love your videos and how you're being didactive to beginners

Jason Nicholas

Just joining up on Patreon after watching several of the videos (found you looking for tutorials on the Deluge). Curious if you have had your hands on or have any thoughts on the Torso T-1? I’ve recently purchased one and am delighted with it.

Christopher Crumpet

I’ve joined patreon for this too. Absolutely love it. Any chance you could do Hardknox’s “Fire Like This”? It’s the beat that was on Me, Myself and Irene just before Charlie becomes Hank. It’s such a wicked beat, and a great track

Captain Pikant
>>111441522

Hey Christopher, welcome aboard :) We sometimes do a "call for patterns" to collect everyone's suggestions for a poll on what we should transcribe. Be sure to enter it then :)

Kool-ade

🤞 One day you’ll do Blue Monday

Bitfader

Will love tear us apart?

Vladimir Coho

why is it always binary, soulwax

Joseph Horseradish

Love your work, Captain! I'm brand new to the community, also brand new to using synths & drum machines! I've been a guitarist forever (over two decades), just getting into the world of analogue synths, drum machines, and sequencing. Thanks to your videos, I've learned a lot already - got my first Roland TR-8s, a JD-08 and a JX-08, and I'm off and running!

Joseph Horseradish

Would love to see transcription of Tone Loc's Wild Thing, even though I know it's sampled on an SP-12, not one of the Roland machines.

Chris Jacobie

Is there a general place to post comments/questions?

Wet Gremlin

Hi there. I'm usually a bass player, but earlier this year I remembered how much fun it was to mess around with step sequencers back in the long-time-ago. I also love electronic music. So I picked up a TR-6S. Next stop-YouTube! Yours was the first video I watched and I've been a fan ever since. Your videos and transcriptions have been a refresher course as well as teaching me some new things. I like doing this and so I've gone a little deeper down the rabbit hole. Your output is anticipated and appreciated very much!

Sonic Prayers

Hey! Loving your work and you really helping me to discover how my RD-9 works! But I’m having trouble opening some files on my iPhone. Doesn’t show anything just a grey screen with the title. Any fix for this?

Captain Pikant
>>122820833

Thanks Axel! Unfortunately we don't have an iPhone to test this on. The transcriptions should work fine since they're are all standard PDF files. Does this only happen with specific files? If so, which ones? Can you open them on your computer?

Sonic Prayers
>>122820833

It happens when I’m in the big folder with all transcriptions. When I open them in the individual post it works fine

Captain Pikant
>>122820833

Hi Axel, there are no transcriptions in this post, these are all just links to the individual posts. Maybe the Patreon mobile app has problems opening these links to the individual posts.

Alexi Wiedemann

Hi captain. A pattern that make me love the drum machines like 808 and DMX is rock it by Herbie Hancock. Any chance to have it here?

interzone

Hi. Does anyone have a guide or advice on how the patterns map to Digitone? Or maybe my question is even simpler - are the 16 steps in a line of the pattern PDFs analogous to the 16 steps of one bar on the Digitone? Also - does each Part have two patterns separated by the long horizontal line? Thanks !

Mike Fox

Hey y'all, would you ever consider putting all of these into a package download? Would really love to get all of them and pour through "book" style, but it's taking me a while to download them.

Captain Pikant
>>127153657

Hi Mike, we often make updates to the individual posts and to the sound samples. At the moment we don't have the time to maintain this as well as an up-to-date package download.

Mike Fox
>>127153657

Completely understand, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Keep up the great work.

Captain Pikant
>>132536924

That's awesome Robert! Thanks for taking the time to compile that playlist, we're sure a lot of people here will appreciate it :) :)

Max Hodges
>>123599933

i have a challenge for you Musik Für Cats by cevin Key (percussionist for Skinny Puppy) the first track on the "Musik Für Cats" album has some weird polyrhythmic thing happening which I can't figure out

Captain Pikant
>>123599933

Hi Max, thanks for the recommendation! We're always looking for interesting polyrhythmic drum patterns. But the first track on that album doesn't seem to have any drums at all?

Captain Pikant
>>137248147

Love me some Modeselektor & Apparat! I think "Rusty Nails" might be worth a transcription ;) Do you happen to know whether they used a specific drum machine for that? Sounds like a 707 is in there.

icaria36
>>137248147

Happy to see you find the idea interesting! Well, I dunno, but I'm watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5eu-1wtgsQ as we speak and it could perfectly be "just" samples or synth sounds created by them and a DAW instead of a hardware drum machine with whatever sounds come with it. But again, what do I know. :)

Lextron

How about the drum pattern for Squarepusher - Beep street ?

A

I have a request for a song — The Knowledge by Toasty 🙏🏽🤩

Ian shreve

what are the chances we get some more skinny puppy patterns??

Ian shreve
>>150718898

The choke, dead lines, first aid, Vx gas attack, or last call are some interesting ones in my opinion, they are one of my favorite bands so I may be a bit biased

Ian shreve

I recently learned about cEvin Key's use of a PA crossover and separate effects loops on each frequency separation on the 909 which definitely made their use of it really interesting

Captain Pikant
>>150764320

I read about that as well! Super interesting since multiband processing has become a staple technique in modern productions :)

Ian shreve
>>150764320

I wrote a paper on them for a history of electroacoustic music class and there's a lot of interesting production and techniques similar that I hey did really early on

russell

Can you please please do some classic goldie drum and bass. Yes I know it was all samples but would love to recreate with some machines. Come on!!

Stefano Leone

New subscriber - thanks for the incredible work. I was wondering if there's any chance to see anything from Nation of Language and in general, an example of motorik-kraut beat in the style of Neu. Thanks!

Kenny

Hi guys, if I wanted to break this down into a daily practice schedule, not just try implementing the pattern from the transcription, but also going through the DM 101 book, do you have a syllabus of sorts? I am learning all but the basics, things like microtiming and swing, ive always just done it by ear without any real understanding of how it works. Do you have an order you recommend? Or are they somehow categorized easy to advanced? Or?

Captain Pikant
>>161147893

Hi Kenny! If you check the descriptions of the individual drum patterns you will find a bunny rating that helps you judge their difficulty. Generally we think it's best to start with a song you like - although maybe stay clear of Aphex Twin at the start of your journey ;) But a syllabus is actually a cool idea, maybe we should look into that :)

Kenny
>>161147893

Yeah, I definitely knew better than to embark on a Richard James track this early. I just started with portishead. I have to go to work, but I have some questions, not about the individual triggers, but about the layouts of the patterns in the order in which they would occur in the song. I’ll hit you up about it later.

Chad Bye

new subscriber - I can't believe I finally found a source who can actually help me learn how to better use my drum machine. I adore your transcription catalogue - I've never seen anything like that before and it is incredibly helpful as I begin my journey. I always found that it's best to learn a new instrument mimicking other's work. it just makes it that much more interesting - use it as a starting point as I continue to grow. At least that's how I taught myself guitar 30 years ago (gotta love 90s grunge). I would LOVE you forever and ever, whether you like it or not (ha), if you transcribed some Cocteau Twins - anything off of Heaven or Las Vegas... I love those simple 80s drums, giving you room to breathe.. and laying guitar on top. Not sure if you take requests, or if you need a particular donation, but I'm all up for it. I feel rejuvenated. THANK YOU!!

Captain Pikant
>>162557852

Thanks so much for your nice comment Chad! Haven't listened to the Cocteau Twins in a long time but we'll take a look as soon as we find some time :)

Chad Bye
>>162557852

I’m sure with your skills, you’ll figure it out in about 3 minutes per song!

ben

Any chance these could all be zipped up before I download them all one by one?

James Gregory

I was thinking that too, but just downloaded them one by one as wanted them now 😂

Captain Pikant
>>99085100

Hi ben, not at the moment. We update older patterns and the corresponding sound examples from time to time, so keeping the individual posts as well as an archive up to date would take us too much time.

Toff.Chunks

thks for all!!! Amazing shared knowledge thks again!!! HNY
