MD Science Lab: 2 Step

oky here’s another one:

similar techniques as before… some LFOs set to HOLD & square-shape and modulating volume of certain instruments… but no input-re-patching this time.

but, I’ve tried to create little fill-ins by tweaking the time-scale multiplier.
some minor filter & delay tweaking, and loading a different kit during the track…

(I find it hard not to use one RAM machine for texturing though… )

^ nice one void! i might have to give it a try…

thanks… yea definitely do!

thats pretty fucking sweet void!

thanks! it was fun to make and I’m sure by the end of Feb there will be some cool stuff :slight_smile:
here’s the sysex for the above:
http://www.elektronauts.com/files/download/39

it’s one pattern, A03, and 2 kits (27 & 28). A RAM pair on tracks 2/3, dunno what happens to that when loaded in a non-UW MD… oh yeah and MUTE track 1, there’s kick in there which doesn’t really belong…

deleted cos I am too fucking stupid

I’m really like a Bonobo when i have to use fonctionalities of a forum like this one. I don’t now how to put my 2Step attempt in a little window in the text.

So i just can give you the soundcloud where i post it.

If some body can give me the way to proceed, it will be cool.

One pattern, 2Step, one kit, 9 machines, just mute manually in view to give a songstyle to the sound.

tried to embed your sound, but it says that it can’be be played outside of soundcloud… maybe some setting on your soundcloud page?

anyway, tribal! keep em coming :slight_smile:

Sorry, i’m really not skilled in managing my data on forums. I went to my soundcloud and enable download, maybe it was the problem… :confused:

I did some thing, and it happened this, … :astonished:

void, did you use your iPad app for control support? :wink:

EDIT: sounds much more complex than just 2 steps!

2 steps eh ? I like me some boundaries. Getting in on this action now. Gimme a few hours to get something together. Some real interesting bits so far :+1:

Here’s my attempt

1 Kit

1 Pattern

Only 2 sequencer steps used throughout

30 bpm with track multiplier set to 3/4

Tracks used:

01 - GND SN
02 - EFM BD
03 - TRX CB
04 - P-I RC
05 - EMPTY
06 - GND SN
07 - EMPTY
08 - EMPTY
09 - EMPTY
10 - E12 CH
11 - E12 CR
12 - EMPTY
13 - E12 LT
14 - EFM CB
15 - RAM R1
16 - RAM P1 - plays a small part of track 14 in reverse

Used the LFOs of any unused tracks to modulate the others

Recorded into Ableton where I added a compressor and limiter but only because the recording came out a bit low in volume

Here’s a track from me.

I really enjoyed the crazy restrictive rules - they really got me experimenting all over the place.

Going to listen to everybody’s tracks now.

Cocker and Yoof-those were both excellent! I’m inspired. I’ll be giving this a shot myself a little later.

Ooooooooo, this sounds like some fun. Can’t wait to give it a go this weekend.

wow really feeling what you guys have made so far!Very interesting lab here!Void It would be awesome if you made some tutorials on routing cables to the ram machines/routing lfos and what not.Very interesting stuff!!!

Damn…

I wish I had an MD so I could join you nerds!

These are all really good!

hi guys, i totally misunderstood the task!

so it is not 2 pages, it is only 2 steps?

so I you only have 2 steps ( 1 the BD and 2 the SD on the sequencer) ? and go from there ?

scale setup is 2/16 ?

Exactly. That’s 2 steps
