Maybe I've said it before, but I'll be damned if the M8 isn't the best purchase I've made in like, 10+ years.

M8 Tracker

I think I love trackers, and this M8 is super rad. I want to master it enough to do some music streams. It is like my ultimate stream dream to do some live music. One thing I'm struggling with is 'discovering' a tune or theme. Beats come naturally in the tracker format, but finding a spark for the tune is alluding me, where I often had the opposite problem when starting from a keyboard.

Picking up a Teensy 4.1 today so I can run the DirtyWave M8 Headless on my Steam Deck, so I setup what I hope will be a good control layout (rear paddles handling velocity/octave, left trackpad and stick both as a radial note inputs). Plz don't mind the screen floofs from Astro and Nova. Can imagine finding reason to setup the bumpers/triggers later once I'm using it.

This post/thread was very helpful in getting the M8 Headless browser version up and running, though I had to leave it on beta branch and not the stable one as their update said to use.

show us the weirdest little gadget you have that you love

I LOVE GADGETS! Its not so little but I love my Octatrack MKII. I’ve owned the OP-1, Z, M8 tracker, Polyend tracker, and this is my favorite sampling device outta all of them. It has so much hidden depth and cool unique funky ways to process and modulate sounds, both with samples ofc and also LIVE, and you can retrigger via MIDI (u can loop midi back into itself and do live resampling), ho boy its good. Max marco on YouTube showed me what this beast can truly do. Perfect IDM glitchy dnb machine. I also love my two semi modular little synths, the 0-coast and quandrantid swarm

so many albums i wanna buy next time i get paid
