Can the OT do Oldschool Jungle?

Sounds great!

For some reason I cannot add a comment into the above post with a vid included :smiley: guess it’s just another flaw of this forum board engine.

Anyway, dropped this slightly offtopic tutorial above because someone might actually like having a look at other peoples’ workflow. Reso is not using the OT to do the job, he rather cuts the samples largely by hand in Logic, but he sure knows how to chop up breaks.

Really cool thread, really enjoying it. Brings back fond memories of Amigas & Octamed, Akai’s then Renoise :slight_smile:

Am really feeling this type of skuzzy jungle at the moment.

@michalronin: thanks for the video, seems really interesting by the first 10 minutes. I’ll definitely check the rest out asap.

My answer, yes you can make jungle with the OT, I uploaded a few of mine on my youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeahDeNelV6BzM9MyHXRShg

oh yes, DnB indeed :smiley:

how do you guys eq the amen on the octo?

Many ways to do it but in fact some of us used to chop breaks in propellerheads recycle, which indeed generated a midifile along with a sample transfer to the sampler via midi.

I mostly use filters.
DJ Eq is simple.

I know this is not really old school jungle but talking about Amen Break :

trying to get a bit more punch out the kick, it’s a bit too stiff…

Try EQUALIZER, increase gain and Q to high values, search kick root frequency with FRQ, adjust gain / Q.

Eventually use kicks slices in another track, use filter envelope :
Base 0
Width 0
Res 64 +/-
Depth 32 +/-
Atk 0
Dec 48 +/-

What we like in the old sound these samples on sequencer type loop but placed in one shot on classic feet such as kick or snare

This is an underrated quote. I have read it many times and still can’t fully grasp it.
