Yesterday I played an Elektron only Liveact session at Tresor Berlin, which was insanely fun, cause of the chamber vibe, the huge soundsystem and of course the people!
I guess my style could be described as high-energy oldschool techno with lots of variety. My goal was to bring my teenage techno time from 2000 to the dancefloor and I think I was not far away of it
The Analog Rytm was my ārecord crateā where I have different ātracksā managed as āone track per patternā. The Octatrack was my performance mixer for transition and looping. Maybe this sounds not really special, but the magic happends to me when I performed each track on the Rytm with Macros, Scenes, Mutes and all that. It sounded so warm, crunchy, jelly but really ruff oldschool.
A really weird thing that happend to me was the drifting VCO from the Rytm. A synth machine did the rolling bassline thing but - I dont know why - it was drifting in tune and volume so that the track foundation was really unstable.
I would love to hear from you, what do you think about this set
I recorded both: the output from the OT and in addition to that the whole stuff with my iphone. Then I mixed both audio tracks but because of the clock drift from iPhone and Zoom H4n there are some small phasing issues ā¦ but for me it sounds ok, but not āoriginalā from the OT.
just curious - did you perform the tracks from the ārecord crateā (aka Rytm - and thanks for the mental model :-)) with just the onboard controls, or did you use any external controllers as well?
Yes, I used only the onboard controls except of the Plus 3 Expression Fader from Endorphines/Loopop which ist great for increasing the Distortion amount and Delay Feedback. Maybe you dont know it: the AR MK2 has 2x CV inputs for Macro Modulation and the Plus 3 can control those two inputs ā so in total 10x Parameters.
It feels like the extra portion Chilly for the tension
