I love this forum. A lot to digest and thanks to everyone for their useful and entertaining posts!

“Organic” is obviously a tricky thing to describe. For me, I’d say shifting sound beds and maybe some acoustic instrumentation (particularly percussion) mixed in with the synthy stuff. Also synth sounds that have been heavily processed elsewhere - little unexpected blips, rumbles etc that come out of nowhere. So, samples.

I imagine “organic space techno” being something like Neel, Dasha Rush, D-Leria?

something like this?

Guess OP must be happy with all the answers…

Just say techno and you get whatever from gabber to berghain to basic channel.

But try to define a little more and you get sarcasm, private jokes and snobism.

Very helpful guys!

perhaps we should adopt that tag for music created by the users of this forum.

“organic ambient space techno”

I just did:

This is the most boring aspect of many music forums, the snobbish attitude is really, really grating. Can be about gear, music taste, technique, it doesn’t matter, it’s just boring as fuck every single time.

So why beef then?

imo easily avoided by providing some examples some artist names or tracks or whatever… when I first read the title I associated it with mellow dub techno, which really fits the description, but after reading the second addition I figured OP’s probably talking about what I call (and love) minimal hypnotic techno, so not the same thing really and again, a simple example would helped…

IMO this calls for many modulation sources and destinations. For synths I would say A4 or Syntakt. For sampler OT - obviously :wink:

Additionally I would check out a decent reverb/delay section. But I would use external gear like pedals from Eventide, Strymon, or others you might like.

…u need sampling AND synthesis…for no matter what ur up to…

so just have a look around on the 2nd hand market and find an a4 mk1 and a ot mk1…
both mk1 versions are out there for pricetags that make them a real steal…

or go square to be there and find a dt and a dn…
another killer combo…

end of the of day, any swedish combo that covers both basic concepts in one way or the other will do totally fine…

Regarding organic ambient, you might look at Substan from this forum: Substan music - #74 by substan

A synth + samples combo is the most logical/powerful combo here, regardless of the devices.
I would say either DT + DN or DT + ST, and you feel the need for more you can maybe replace the DT by an OT.

  • ST + DT: the more immediate combo, super flexible
  • DN + DT: more synthesis options (and polyphony if you require it), especially for experimental stuff

Along with the DT, you can grab a portable Zoom recorder and go recording nature in the wild for the organic samples.

OT MK2 plus A4/ST/DT to Taste (I would go Syntakt) and you are good to go.

Cheers - ST/OT or ST/DT sounds very appealing - loved the ST when I had one. DT vs OT is a big choice but I like the idea of having one digi, one flagship.
