Using the MC-707 as a metronome, with the basic rhythm consisting of custom sounds and then manually messing the stock TR-909 hats/claps for additional color. Atop that is a Squier Jazz Bass and the only effect pedal is the Boss LMB-3 compressor.

Me too.

Variable rate LFO as data for shift register, into S&H to modulate FM voice, with another variable rate LFO modulating speed of stereo tape delay.

I posted this little setup at the downsizing post, the other outcome of downsizing other then decluttering has been that I’ve started iterating more. Before when I had everything up front and center I was quiet ADHD regarding the things I did, one day I do pads on the Rev 2, the other day I do industrial on the A4 etc.

And iterating is something I’ve struggled with a lot, so that I a welcome addition to downsizing.

Rev 2 in multitimbral mode, OP-Xy on sequencing, drums and bass, Op1F on vocal snippets duty.

I recently had some fun restricting myself onto the Liven Bass&Beats and created a housey ride, getting wild at times.

For this weeks weekly beats the challenge was to do a track entirely with the Yamaha DX7 (Or the Arturia emulation of it). This followed on from my previous challenge of using only the Roland D-50 it seemed only fair as they were bitter rivals.

I decided to make a UK Garage type track purely because I haven’t made one for a while and I think the clean FM sounds of the DX7 suit the genre really well (MJ Cole used a Yamaha in the studio). I made heavy use of the super cliche Lately Bass, Organ and E-Piano patches which were in a huge percentage of 80’s radio hits to hammer the DX7 vibes home.

Unlike other weeks I didn’t set myself a challenge to use crazy scales or chords so this one is in C Lydian and is pretty diatonic. I’m using a high F# on every chord as an upper extension to bash home the Lydian feel, but other than that it’s all very basic chords.

The other challenge was to make a track with the Synthesizer V vocal synth as I’ve had it for a while and used it very little for completed tracks. I’m using the Solaria voice print which seems to be better than the default voices although like all of them it’s a little bit musical theatre. The vocals sometimes lapse into someone auditioning for Frozen the musical.
I added a bit of Minimal Audio Evoke to give it a bit of hard tuned robot sheen.

Spent the morning instead of working making a new DN2 Patch. I freaking love this thing.

Just an excerpt from a little ambient thing I made on my Dirtywave M8, mainly using samples from the Cassediments sound pack.
