Nedavine ' s 1st hour with the A4


you are a master!
just one hour and this song!
yeah!
well done!

Hey Nedavine! nice one :smiley: Keep bringing the good stuff

I’m selling all my synths, I don’t sound like that after 2 years LOL.

Well done!

Yeah that was awesome - what style would you call that ? It really really reminded me of something but f*ck knows what - listened to it twice could honestly listen all day. Am about to listen again.

Same here :zonked: I feel like wasting time with my machines. Just one hour, congratulations!

Cool track, interested to hear what you do w/ the A4 with more time. Also, nice setup you got there

i think i spent the begging, finding a good spot on my desk, walking in from the other room, glancing over, making sure i liked its location from every angle.

then it was on to placing the stickers in strategic spots, that was already like 4.5 hours.

then i make a quick pattern, wanted to delete the whole song, spent about 45 minutes figuring that out, i wasn’t gonna look at the manual, i like girls, so u know i don’t touch that thing,

then another 4 hours going to in n out, and figuring out how to send presets thru sysex, see above as to why it took so long,

then i said fuck it, this machine is uber super mega gay, messed with the ot for a while, saying, wow, i like this machine,

disgusted, I posted it on Craigslist, "is this ANAL 4 you? , lets make a deal, i am flexible and open , mutual satisfaction is my goal, ? "

that mistake in the title led to many misunderstandings,

so after that, i messed with more, decided it was great, kept, that was like 3 days of stuff,

You guys are far too kind. Thanks for listening, really appreciate it. :+1: There wasn’t much tweaking going on (hopefully that will come later), I just wanted to see how it all fitted together and what the A4 sounded like along side my other gear. It’s a little bit different to the other machines in places, but it was all pretty intuitive. Routing works really well. I love that I can route my tetra through the A4 with or without effects. Very useful.

@Housecliche Not sure, what genre would you call it? It’s pretty generic stuff. Maybe Elktro-n? :wink:

@BoomTish and @plebeyo I already had the chord progression in my head when I sat down (it’s just four chords with an alternating bassline and melody). It was just a case of making sounds a beat and fleshing it out. Admittedly my pace with using the OT has picked up a fair bit. Also the fact that simple stuff like copy and paste and pattern chaining all function the same as other machines made it easier to rush something out.

@jamrod Thanks man. Still enjoying your grandma tapes regularly. One more synth is arriving today and the set up will be finished… for the time being.

@dionysianarchy I spent an hour tidying my room before I sat down but I guess I skipped the step of anal adds and stickering.

Which synth is arriving? And what have you got there besides the Elektron boxes?

There is a tetra and shruthi looming in the darkness too (although in this vid the shruthi isn’t doing anything).
Today my Roland V-Synth should arrive. Really interesting underrated VA with some crazy sampling potential.

I put the track up on soundcloud available for download also made a bunch of other ones free to download too if anyone is interested. Was thinking of putting together a live EP for bandcamp but I don’t think it would be all that popular lol.

really nice :slight_smile: … well, the world is pretty big, you never know what could happen, go ahead with the EP :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Ned honestly my first thought was you should do an EP just didn’t wanna say cos it sounds like you’ve got it together and know what your doing bro :slight_smile:

My other thought was maybe a collab with Skab? :slight_smile:

Thanks guys. I’ll see if I can find the files.

As for collaborations, I’m always up for doing stuff with people. Never worked in person though but that stupid be nice. I’m not sure Skab would be interested though. Plus I’d get schooled big time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cool proper japanese tech shizzle :slight_smile:

Your wish is my command

Great stuff - I had a quick listen - now to work out how to download it and see if I can rustle up a donation :slight_smile:

No need to donate, listening is enough. Just click buy now and enter 0 and you can download for free.
:joy:
Just recorded a new video too. Should be up later on.

I like fading-in of the LFO on the chords. It’s nice to hear that used outside of electro-funk.
