A huge giant topic for Barfunkel's A4 output

Ok, I got tired of starting new threads for my silly made-in-an-hour techno jams, so from now on I’ll post all of them in this topic.

Here’s 3 new ones:

And here’s the second one I made today:

great, been looking forward to your a4 tracks
all lush and masterful
now just get back your mono and add it in with the a4

Been enjoying your posts man. Cheers:)

Thanks for listening!

Although, sometimes I feel a bit ashamed of making my music public. I had the same feeling with the Monomachine that I now have with the A4, that I’m somehow using it the wrong way cos everyone else seems to be making some crazy experimental tracks, while I just make simple loop techno.

Then again, man’s gotta to do what his gut feeling is telling him, and my guts tell me to make cheap copies of Robert Hood’s or Basic Channel’s tracks.

While I loved the MnM, I love the A4 WAY more. For my purposes, there would be too much overlap between them to justify the cost.

I am, however, getting an Octatrack later this year. I think it’ll complement the A4 very well.

Then, my holy trinity will be A4, OT and Tanzbär (which will be my next purchase).

Then I’ll add a few cheaper units to the setup and then I’ll be set for several years of techno mayhem!

A.J.J. is especially groovy and effective. Liking your sound design on that one. :slight_smile:

That’s pretty funny. I don’t know, I think there’s enough guys on this site making good ambient & experimental stuff. I’ll stick to my 4 on the floor techno, because that’s what makes my soul smile:)

Are these all A4 only?

Yeah, live A4 jams. The Boss KM-60 is doing a bit of EQ’ing (maybe 1dB of bass boost and a few dB of treble boost), other than that there’s nothing else involved, unless you count the Zoom H4n recorder, which is recording the jam.

Ok, here’s two new ones. The first one I made actually yesterday, but Soundcloud’s bot detected that it uses illegal samples or something and it took some time to sort it out . The second one was made for the Subsekt forum’s challenge, where you had to to choose one of the four emotions and make a techno track that conveys that emotion. I chose joy, dunno how well I succeeded,

Ok, here’s something different from me. Tailor-made for a friend of mine, who likes this kind of stuff.

A4 through Alesis 3630 and a heavily distorted Boss KM-60.

Keep the hardcore alive!

Ok, here’s some more serius stuff. Again, A4, 3630, KM-60.

More pumping and distorted techno/house!

Ok, I’m on a roll, here’s a second ghetto track I made today:

https://soundcloud.com/user4904810/ghetto-techno-volume-3

:+1: You’re definitely on a roll! I really like your tracks. Amazing that you can do that with just the A4 + mixer. OTOH, limitations spur creativity, or so they say.

More techno. I really like the bassline on this, the chord riff needs work imo.

yeah - really digging the ruff & tuff vibe on these my man. some great acid lines in here & proper detrioty melodic parts - raw, like it should be. ace.

Thanks for listening Xmit!

Here’s some more of the same. The kick drum sounds like a miced up tincan, but who cares!

Here’s more stuff I made today! This time it’s almost like trance music, except it has really low production values. A strange beast it is…
