r/Tekno

So a few months ago I got my first piece of gear, a Roland T8 drum machine, it's amazingly fun to jam with because of the acid bass line and the fact it's so portable! It is however very limited in the types of sound it has, especially for creating more tekno or psytrance oriented music.

I'm planning to buy something for my birthday, but not quite sure what. The t8 was around 170eu and I'll have a similar budget, 150-250eu, for my next piece and I was thinking of the p6 sampler from Roland since it's basically made to be compatible with my t8, but I'm wondering if it's the right choice since I've seen multiple samplers for way cheaper.

I was also thinking of the S1, again made to be compatible with the T8, but I feel like this wouldn't match with the music I'd like to make... Feel free to give any recommendations or thoughts! Any tips or tricks for making music would also be appreciated, I'm still learning a lot and I don't really understand most of what all of these different machines actually do

This mixtape was born in a period where everything seemed to fall apart. Long nights, chaos, pressure, changes, doubts… but through all of it, one thing kept pulling me forward: 🔊.

Every track carries a piece of that journey. The scars, the mistakes, the sleepless nights, the moments where music was the only escape. Not a story of perfection, but a reflection of surviving through noise and turning it into energy.

Ive been making alot of expreimental electronic music that i want to post here, but i just dont know if it falls under the tekno umbrella.

for anyone wondering, i make gabber, acid (house and techno), jungle, breakbeat and digihardcore.

Yo !
Je me lance dans la compo d’acidMental . Je connais le matos global, mais je galère sur la "recette" pour que ça galope et que ça retourne le cerveau devant les caissons.
Des conseils rapides sur :
Kick/Basse : Sub lourd ou kick-basse rolling ? C'est l'acidline (303) qui fait tout le taf de basse ?

Hi, I would like to ask for a recommandation of first groovebox.

I think that Korg Volca sample might be too simple for future ( also there are less effects). In the past I was told that Korg Electribe 2 is really great, but yesterday I found out that Elektron Cycles is more cheaper and has similar features.

What do you recommend?

Ho 2 korg electribe 2 con hacktribe + 1 mixer 4 canali senza fx. Cosa potrei comprare che sia facile da usare senza troppi menù per migliorare i miei liveset?

Hi guys, so I am a hardware guy (Digitakt), never touched a DJ controller before, my gf is pretty good at mixing DnB, so she is teaching me how to mix, dnb is pretty straight forward, 32 bar phrases, breakdowns and intros are easy to follow one after the other, so I can mix one phrase and go to another, quite easy.

But tekno is a bit different, some songs are structured on 32 bar phrases, others go all wild every 8 bars, so almost every song is a bit different than the next, every time I want to switch from one to the other either I have to be super quick on the best matching to get in with the 8 bar intro that some songs give me, others are quite wild and other simply go straight to the drop without any wait.

So my question here is what is the best technique to mix tekno, you guys use memory queues to mark the drops? How many bars you usually allow for changing from one song to the other? How do you guys make sure that the phrases are in sync? Like if I want drops to match on some of the wild songs?

Any tips or videos that you guys have are welcomed :D

Curious if anyone has any recommendations for stuff that is somewhere between psy and tekno. I mean that in the broadest way possible anything that feels like a bridge, mix, lineup whatev.

Hi guys!

I’m a big fan of H3F project (pneumatix, madmatik and m4rty epitom) and I was just looking for the tracks to listen to them again but I just realized the project is all gone from internet? I searched in all platforms and bandcamp and it’s gone, does anyone know what happened?

bonjour tout le monde ! ça fait un moment que j’écoute énormément de tech, que je vais en rave party et également en free ( plus pour le moment car j’ai déménagé :/ )
bref ! j’aimerais mixer, faire mes set et avoir un mur de caissons, c’est mon objectif final, mais je ne sais pas du tout comment m’y prendre.
les raccords etc ça a l’air assez compliqué, donc si quelqu’un peut m’aiguiller je suis preneuse
