Do you mean the Monomachine and Machinedrum SysEx? That won’t work, sorry. But welcome to the forum anyway

Cheers. Then im curious why it wont work? Im back into wrapping my head around electro stuff. No more 6 strings.
The data dumps are specific to those two devices. It’s meaningless to Model:Samples. You can grab audio samples from Autechre tracks and put those onto your device tho to play around with their sounds if you want to.

the samples they shared you can load into any sampler that supports the format. but you can’t load sysex willy nilly into anything and expect it to understand what it’s receiving. for example you can’t load the MPC1000 programs onto a DX7.
edit: what format were the samples? i can’t remember. i think in the MPC programs the samples were just wav files in a zip or something… so those can be loaded into whatever

yep, the MPC projects were full of wavs - loaded the samples onto my octatrack without any problems.

did you make any tracks with the samples of rob yelling?

Sysex = System Exclusive.
= this bunch of data is exclusive to this particular system.
So… a model cycles sysex file can be read by any other model cycles. Digitone sysex can be read by any other digitone and so on.
Samples are just audio files, and can be read by anything that plays audio files, providing the format is common. Most samplers read WAV for example.

The sample part of this dump is probably the least interesting…

I find them actually full of interesting noises just begging to be butchered.
Gotta disagree. Plenty of grist for the mill, plus it was super cool getting little bits from Quaristice stems after rinsing the album for a decade. You can hear a bunch of the samples on this:
i didn’t make any tracks without them.

Right? d forgotten about them. And couldnt find em for a minute.
I suppose I thought the syx would atleast load patterns.
Some of them are… something. But whatever.
Cheers dudes!!
@LyingDalai @estragon To each their own 
It was an insta delete for me. Not to put anyone else off them, just my opinion etc etc
I guess we don’t like the same things in Æ’s music ^^
To come back to the subject, I did some OT chains from Æ samples (with @Abhoth’s simple yet brilliant OctaChain tool). If you feel like it could be of some help for you, I can share, let me know

Very kind of you. But I don’t think I’ll end up using them enough to warrant putting you through the trouble and I sold my OT a little while back to fund a Rytm. I was hoping for more of their synth sounds, tbh, but I’m guessing that was all produced on the Nord G2 and Monomachine.
There are a bunch of synth sounds in there though! From memory all the SH sounds are Roland SH-09 samples with varying levels of manipulation. It was interesting seeing how bits I assumed were live acid are actually just heavily effected resamples.

You’re right on that bit. Sounded a little acid to my ears, which really isn’t my taste at all. I love their pads and FM soundscapes/manipulations more.
As far as the G2 stuff goes, it was nothing crazy, certainly not what I expected. If my memory is right, it was mostly just variations on a 3-osc synth with some basic parameter sequencing.
It’s a good synth patch for the G2, but really nothing that hadn’t already been posted a dozen times on Electro-music.
Similarly, the MD SysEx wasn’t anything “special” either, certainly nothing out of the ordinary. Some basic LFO routing, mainly with a retriggered triangle, a few paired tracks, and pretty standard programming.
The most interesting things were how they mixed the tracks, many were very very low, and occasionally they started the kick on the 3rd beat. That and they aren’t wizards, they’re just really, really good at what they do.

Bastards! Hahahaha. But yes, the sum is greater than its parts, I believe, etc etc.
