If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use the randomize option to create a random beat. There’s tap tempo and swing, and individual tracks can be soloed and muted. The sequencer stores 16 patterns of up to 16 steps each, which can be chained together to make a song. Any track can “duck” the others to create the classic pumping sound. Finally, the Deton8 offers a sidechain compression effect. For spicing up a live performance, the machine features eight stutter modes: Beat repeat, forward and reverse granular, pendulum granular (scratch), buzz/texture, random granular and spin up/spin down. There is also a delay and a ring modulator effect, as well as distortion and a global pitch shifter. Pitch and decay can be sequenced per step for every voice, and samples can be played back in forward or reverse per track. There is a sound variation knob which affects the kick, snare, hats, and synth in different ways. Tweaking and shaping the soundsįor tweaking the sounds and sequences, Deton8 offers some interesting options. They include 808- and 909-style kits as well as sounds for big beats, jungle breaks and more. There’s no option to sample your own sounds, but the Deton8 comes with six kits which you can upload to the machine via USB for a bit of sonic flexibility. The “Synth” track contains a triangle wavetable synthesizer inspired by the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). In addition to Kick, Snare, Metal (hi-hats), Clap, and Tom, there’s a track called “Can” which delivers tinny sounds and one called “Nut” for woody sounds. Deton8 is a compact drum machine that relies on a mix of 8-bit sampling and wavetable synthesis to generate its eight voices.
After the Crazy8 Beats sequencer and the hapiNES and uAcid8 mini synths, Twisted Electrons is once again releasing an inconspicuous little box that looks like a whole lot of fun.
