Thank you. Pretty simple setup:

T1-4 are Pickup Machines. QREC and QPL are OFF. LEN is also Off, so you end up with loops that overlap as opposed to everything being quantized. I also set TRIG to ONE2 mode.

T5-8 are Flex machines setup to play the corresponding Recording buffers for T1-4. I set Rate to 48 so the pitch and speed are altered. Crossfader scene is set to blend between the Pickups and Flex machines XVOL.

FX wise, LOFI and Dark Reverb.

That’s it, apart from the Heat on the main outs, Saturation quite high and the LP filter.

Thats really good, really enjoyable.

Thanks very much, appreciated

Thank you for the detailed description. Any insights on those AK patches would also be ace :sunglasses: I’ve tried my hardest to get that kind of sound but to no avail. You however, nailed it. If you were to release a sound pack, I’d purchase for sure.

Oh man - that’s awesome - I’m going to have a play with this. Fun times!

I’m trying to wrap my brain around this concept:

So, you’ve got 4 pick-up machines and 4 flex machines recording the pick-up machines.

Are you just playing into and recording each pick-up machine one after the other? Or what’s going on with those 4?

I really dig the track
