Erica Synths DB-01 is a "never sell" synthesizer for me. Maybe I haven't played around with enough smaller monosynths but for me this one is nearly perfect. In conjunction with a powerful reverb and a nice distortion unit like the analog drive you can cover some wide sonic territory (plus it's very performative i.e. the controls effect the sound dramatically and tastefully.) I recorded this using my SSL BigSix as my mixer/interface - how does it sound? :P

It's been a while since I released a performance video and recording this reminded me how out of practice I am, haha.

I hope you enjoy the tune!

small talk - Performance with the DB-01, Digitakt, Octatrack, Analog Drive and TC Hall of Fame

In this video I perform using a few of my favorite pieces for creating what I consider very organic feeling electronic music. DB-01 on basslines with the Elektron Analog Drive, Digitakt on Percussion, texture, and vocal samples, and the Octatrack on performance mixer duties.

Cool track, Matthew! And it sounds really good with your SSL BigSix.

ezbot

Haha, BigSix for the win!

Sounds great! Do you prefer to sequence the db-01 from the digitakt vs it’s own sequencer? I guess that makes it easier for changes and mutes all in the one machine.

ezbot

Yeah, pretty much. The DB-01's sequencer is way deeper than the DT can offer but as you said it's just a lot easier to use from the DT.

I love my circuit mono station - they don't make them any more - I guess there are some similarities between the two?

ezbot

They are both powerful monosynths. I’d say the Novation is a bit more user friendly and traditional. The db01 has a bit of its own flavor

ezbot

Both are awesome, thats the biggest similarity i'd say :) different filters, different workflow in terms of sequencing. Both very performative
