@Sleepyhead can i use a one shot bass sample to play a bassline with it? Not shure if it can be considered as an external instrument.

Sure! This would count as your instrument choice though, so no other instruments allowed then.
Unless you manage to find a nice bass sound somewhere in the samples, or (kind of cheating, but allowed within these rules) if you loop a single cycle from one of these samples to make a bass synth sound

Enough bass sounds for a decade in that material.
Does eurorack count as a single instrument? Having some modbap vibes here atm.

Thatās right but i like to use some bass sounds i have on my sampler. Bass sounds sampled from youtube generally sound not so good, in my humble opinion.

Haha good question (is eurorack a single instrument?)ā¦
Itās mostly up to you. IMO the main point is that you should try to make something in the spirit of this battle, meaning that you should build something based on the samples provided. The 1 extra instrument should be regarded as an extra element, something to add to the foundation of samples. The core of your track should however be made out of the samples provided.
Making a song out of another instrument (eurorack or otherwise) and then adding small bits from the samples would be within the rules, but not entirely within the spirit of this battle, but this is for everyone to judge when voting!

Yea, of course.
I will only drain some selected samples from the material given into eurorack (granular) fx. Donāt think I would need to use another sound source.
I am just experimenting, donāt care much about the voting aspect

Sounds great! Iām curious to hear what you come up with!
To be clear: I didnāt mean to suggest you were trying to bend the rules or anything, just tried to make the general point that the rules should be regarded as general guidelines, but all creativity and experimenting is encouraged!

yup, a ton of sections jumped out at me on that album. the 4 hours of classic 50s tv is also amazing but requires lots of chopping to make it manageable. canāt wait to hear what folks cook up this time.

Happily I should have time to get involved this time, if itās open to anyone. I dug everyoneās contributions to the Tribe battle, and made a beat of my own from the samples after the fact. Iām also proud owner of that David Frost Xmas LP - so itāll be fun having a reason to dig it out.
Oh - and thanks for organising!

Great track! What do you think about espi? I tried an early version last year, it was very buggy, itās stable now?
