My new Machinedrum-only album and liveset

For sure! I’ve had friends donate proceeds to luonnonperintösäätiö, but OE is just as good.

Actually donated the Bandcamp funds from my previous album (the one I relelased about a month ago - different band, different music) to Luonnonperintösäätiö. These two charities have been very close to my heart me for years and years.

Thank you so much, Justin! It’s your wonderful work that set me on this path last spring. Will have the sysex available later this week. Would be absolutely amazing to have you remix some of those patterns and sounds! Maybe also have some useful sounds for anyone who wants to open the door to the Machinedrum ambient universe.

Sick. Glad I asked. Never would have guessed it was the same sound on multiple tracks. I’ll have to try that and resample on my digitakt.

Yeah it has this great soft glitch sound I recognize from the 2010’s. At the time I didn’t realize how people were getting that sound! In that sense it seems to really be a great instrument. 16 LFOs, I wish! Amazing.

First of all, thank you! That song wasn’t part of my liveset but I might still have the kit and patterns on my MD. Will have to check! Feel free to remind me via PM if I don’t get back to you in the next coupe of weeks.

The liveset sysex can be downloaded here (and in the opening post). Hemmelig_liveset112021.syx (157.2 KB)

Please let me know if it doesn’t work for some reason. My MD was in firmware X.05 when I was writing the liveset, but IIRC I only used the X.04 features for the set.

If anyone ends up doing anything with these sounds, I’d love to hear it!

Great stuff @korpinen! I love albums that explore one instrument in great depth and you are pulling some lovely textures out of this MD. Thanks for sharing!

All this from only a machinedrum?! This is amazing. I really dig it. Thanks for sharing, Korpinen! It makes me wish I had a machinedrum around, to try out this firmware.

Thanks for listening!

Yep, it’s just the Machinedrum and only one machine-type (GND), which offers basic waveforms (sine, saw, pulse and noise). Pulse I haven’t used that often but the others I’ve found VERY useful and versatile. Sine for kicks, rimshots and plucks, noise for hats and saw for pads and leads.

Oh, what a work :pray:
Very well composed, nice sounds, you really bring the MD in ambiant glitch territory with maestria.
Beau geste

0.11 might be my fav with 0.04
Love all the little rhythmical noisy hi-hat-like sounds.

great work!

Noise for pads is an interesting concept I haven’t thought of that I‘ll have to try.

Purchased, right now on BandCamp. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC :pray:t2::star2:

Thank YOU!

Only now I had the time to start listening to your album in it’s entirety.
So beautiful and moody. Really very very good and inspiring.

I’m completely broke atm and I’m guessing you know exactly why hahaha.
When my balance gets repaired a bit I’ll surely buy this.
Also v cool that you donate the money for Oikeutta Eläimille.

This will be perfect music to listen to while painting.
