First time that I enjoy using the SP404 MKII, it’s about time! Using it as a beat making / writing tool, rather than an instrument to jam on (which is how I approach Elektron boxes) made it finally click for me. Happy me

I haven’t tried it with vocals, but I have tried with bass and regular guitar. I find the recording process finnicky, but I think it’ll get better with practice. If I’m not using my Mustang Micro (tiny practice cab sim thing plugged straight into the bass/guitar jack), then I have to run the signal through a thru track and use a compressor as a makeshift preamp.
I definitely understand not wanting to have so much tech, even if only make/play music at home.
By “finnicky” I mean that if I try to make music on the OT the same way I make music in a DAW, I hit so many speed bumps (editing samples and making slices isn’t quick, track setup takes time, limited number active FX, resampling from a thru-track is not a short process, etc). But the OT really shines when I go in without a specific track idea in mind, but feed it random chords and sounds from my Digitone 2 and stumble upon cool sequences by messing around with those short snippets, and then try to build on that with my bass guitar and stuff.

The first one’s great, the second one’s awesome!
Nice one!
Ah, thanks, I see how that’s your cup of tea.
Noisy modular crap, Rubicon & Plonk
Thanks man ! I like the groove but I should I work on the pads
Haven’t been using Syntakt for months, decided to sample some new drum sounds and found myself in two hours mangling this industrial-like sketch.
Recorded directly to iPad without any processing.
