I mean, I’m feeding in loops of 128 to 1024 steps with guitar, vocals, moog, and theremin…
It pretty much sounds like anything I want but if your used to OT slices and flex warp tricks you might be able to tell that the music is OTified…
Sometimes I do play psychedelic bluegrass with it… That’s what I call Spacegrass… 
If Ioad some real acoustic drum samples on AR and warp spacegrass or other styles through the OT, it’s highly very far removed from techno…
Sometimes I do trancy meditation music with singing bowl sounds and stuff, you can’t tell one bit I’m using Elektrons… They can sound like anything…
Of course, if use real heavy electronic beats and make techno beats, it sounds like techno, haha!
I like me some techno now and again though… Even then when I start playing guitar over it it changes the vibe completely, only part techno…
I’ve gotten my Little Phatty analog synth to sound like gongs, didgeridoos, singing bowls, and wind even, absolutely love it… The thing I really like about analog is every time you play those sounds you get different harmonics and overtones, other subtle differences too, it sounds like it’s living and breathing in there… 
I’ve just only really started with Elektron 
And man is it fun, loving the Octatrack more and more these days.
I’m done with starting these kind of threads.
I’ve certainly learned my lesson.
It’s been interesting and fun though, in a strange way…
Really enjoyed our time out for a popcorn break!
It’s often the other way around … AFAIK the first MPCs have not been supposed to force the production of Hip-Hop 
You know you have a certain ability to start a with pebble and end with an avalange? Love it though 
I’d argue that people take my posts way too seriously.
Or that I’m a James Bond villain and these things always go exactly as I planned.
Now, after having followed some of your started threads, I would say, they developed into seriously discussions about stirring questions or topics, because people wanted to share their opinions.
You seem to have a talent to stirr the beehive in a positive way. Please continue 
BTW … those pop-corn postings have been a lot of fun to read and enjoy too
Thanks I appreciate your honesty and thoughts on this. They made my day better. And it was pretty good to begin with.
Oo-poppa-doo, how do y’all do?
I’m Mr. Wiggles the Worm, these are my ladies Giggle and Squirm
Three bionic idiots
Your DJs for the Affair
Where we’ll be gettin’ down and won’t be comin’ up for air.
May I have this swim?
I got a string on my thang (Mmh)
Rhythm in my thang (Wind me up)
I can do my thang underwater
I got a string attached to my thang
When you pull my string
I can do my thang like I oughta
Ooh, the Motor Booty Affair–this IS the big one
The marathon, not your average 50-yard dash of Funk
The Olympics, cross-country style
Comin’ to you from #1 Bimini Road,
In beautiful downtown Atlantis
Where you might see the jellyfish jammin’ with the salmon
Come face to face with a mouth named Jaws,
Freak out with a Mermaid named Rita
And meet Mr. Wiggles the Worm
Check me out
I can slide between the molecules of wetness like an eel through seaweed
One slithering idiot
Mr. Wiggles here…
Your DJ for the Affair
We will be gettin’ down and won’t be coming up for air
So you can leave your nose at home
You might wanna rent a blowhole. OH!
Let me bait my rap (Heh!)
Go Wiggle
This fish tale begins where most fish tails end
With a school of fool fish
Playin’ hooky from school and gettin caught…AND LIKIN’ IT!!!
Mr. Wiggles the Worm here
Sayin’ this is an underwater story in the fields of your mind
We’re swimmin’ past a clock who has it’s hand behind it’s back
On past reality, he ain’t lookin’ for a moment
We’ll leave a candle in the windows of our conscious mind
And we’ll find our way back to the One in time
The Motor Booty Affair, where you can dance underwater and not get wet
Mr. Wiggles here on roller skates and a yo-yo
Actin’ the FOOL, one slithering idiot
These are my ladies Giggles and Squirm
We are three bionic worms
Your DJ for the Affair
And I can do my thang underwater, HA!
Comin’ to you live from #1 Bimini Road
In the Emerald City, downtown Atlantis…
Mr. Wiggles here,
Sayin’ Ee-tiddley-tock, oh I’m the Jock and I’m back on the scene with my record machine sayin’
Oo-poppa-doo how y’all do? (We’re swimmin’ past a clock who has it’s hand behind it’s back
On past reality, he ain’t lookin’ for a moment)
Go wiggle!
To all the fish and the fishies, go wiggle! (We’ll leave a candle in our conscious mind…with the One)
To all the fish and the fishes, go wiggle!
OHHH!! GO WIGGLE!!! GO WIGGLE!!!
From the ocean comes the notion that real lies in the eyes of rhythm
And the rhythm of vision is a dancer
From the lookin’ comes the seeing
One with real eyes realize that the rhythm of vision is a dancer
And when he dance it’s always on the One. (Aquadooloop baby!)
Goin’ down you could see sounds of silence
Primal heartbeats could be seen with the naked eye
(What in the world is that worm talkin’ about?)
And the ones with real eyes realize that everything is on the One. Go Wiggle!
Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloop go wiggle!
Swimmin on past your conscious mind, who’s tied up for a moment
But he’ll be back on time. In the meantime… go wiggle!
This definitely saved my day. Great reading … and … any similarities with some equally complicated word … are complete accidental
That shit is deep
I’m not done with my Octatrack until I actually learn how to use it.
I too had my doubts on Elektron gear at first. BUT the more I learn, invest and dig deeper the more joy it brings. I think it plays well with other gear like modular and other synths. For hardware, it feels closest to a real instrument outside of far more expensive modular gear.
I could spend 50k on a fancy Eurorack setup but it would not really do much more for me than my two small Elektron boxes and the ability to bring one Elektron black box to an event and play cool tunes is priceless. The dive bars have limited table space and quick setup is ideal for me to have fun.
and then you will not want to part with it!
Cirklon makes a nice modular sequencer but super expensive. The OT is gold.
I know guys that start with Elektron and then dive into expensive larger Eurorack gears. Be careful! Sadly there Elektron boxes sit there neglected and unused.
