My first post here on Elektronauts - go easy on me. Little live jam I started last night after messing with @darenager tip on pad menu stuff. I started out wanting to make an arpeggiated track for 8 bit game remixing, ended up with something way heavier yet in a way soulful. Enjoy!
Beefy drums! Nice
cheers, mate.
Sounds real good!
Hello! This is my first try with the Cycles. I really like how live friendly it is.
Just fantastic, that was
first pattern, 10 minutes after turning it on.
this thing can techno!
I keep it forever!
TR1 Kick, TR2 Kick, T3 Metal, T4 Perc, T5 Tone. T6 unused

Time to update your profile pic then.
Nah, I’d also have to wedge the A4 and AK in there
Second attempt at something. I did run the M:C through a GFI Specular Tempus verb/delay. Does that count?
was waiting for the live action to kick in, but it never did.
^whoah all that on one track.
nice overall sound.
Was there really any doubt?
Stoked for you buddy!
I love listening to your stuff. Especially from the Cycles as I can’t now use the excuse (to myself) that your tracks sound sooo good because your sample selection is superior to mine.
The reality is I suppose that this ‘10 minutes after turning it on’ is the result of a lifetime of hard work and skillzzz.
Keep 'em coming
Not sure what this even is… Really loving the kicks from this thing though.
Good idea! XD
I will do it in the near future!
No doubt! I could go in the direction of “damn everyone is way better than me if they are getting these complicated sounds and rhythms in 10 mins with a brand new machine” OR “Damn these are great! Look how much power is potentially right at my fingertips! Let’s step up our game!”
I choose the second one!
Yea, actually, there was a little bit of doubt.
Most of the techno I was hearing made with M:C was a bit too pristine/glassy for my own personal tastes. Whenever I heard something with a good bit of dirt in it, all 6 tracks were distorted.
It was all or nothing.
I wasn’t 100% certain it would sound good with something made that was in between those extremes. Not everything does.
Had to try it myself to find out.
This one is a bit dirty. Just messing with the Tone engine, getting some nice wobbles out of it.
Fair enough. THD preferences are very subjective indeed.
It was Blush Responses comments on the m:c that convinced me. He is someone who gigs regularly, and has undoubtedly used more gear on big PAs than many, if not most of the people on this board.
Today I made techno.
I was very helpful with the tips on Acid Bass shared in this thread
today’s pattern.
Chord machine is solid for that old detroit-FM, Robert Hood vibe.
