Just for fun, jam only, trying to sound weird and glitchy.

Cool. Tell more about what’s going on with the OT!

Nothing mind blowing, but fun to set up 
OT sequences all 6 channels of the ND2, with lot’s of midi trig counts and conditional trigs (64 step pattern).
I “live” recorded fader movements for midinote, length, and velocity of the hihats and percussion elements, and of midi CCs for noise decay, tone decay and drive of the ND2’s autochannel.
Then I sampled 4 bars into a flex recorder, sliced it to 32 slices and created random locks. Then on this track I set up random lfo’s (set to trig or hold) for start parameter (slice choice), delay send (very short delay time) and Retrigger. I also made some slices conditional and with trig counts. Then I had a neighbour track, where random lfo’s modulated LP filter cutoff (LP high resonance), reverb time and reverb mix (dark reverb).
The ND2 was on a thru machine, where delay parameters and SRR or BRR of a lofi where locked or modulated by random lfo’s.
With the crossfader left only the sample was audible, crossfader right only the ND2 thru machine. So often, when I had the crossfader on the sample channel, I changed the ND2 preset programs, so sound is often changing completely… And finally I just turned Retrigger Parameter, delay sends and bitreduction manually…
Pretty fun, I can listen to this for quite a long time
Next time with more flex and neighbour tracks

Dude, that is where it’s at - setting up a framework where minimal input still results in this complex output that stays interesting for long periods of time. You can build tracks really quickly once you’ve put in the initial work.
Also, the complex sound of the ND2 doesn’t hurt. I’ve actually been on the fence about potentially selling my AR, and trying to find an ND2 to replace it. I know I’d lose a lot of functionality, but I still have the OT… I’m just not always sold on the AR sound… decisions…

Nice little ballet.

I have mixed feeling about the ND2.
Obviously, and most important, it sounds amazing.
The editing, is ok, but not the most enjoyable with one knob…
I can live with the stereo out, but what I hate is, that you can’t change individual drums sounds, like browsing through different kick sounds, and find the right one. You only can change the whole program…
They changed this for the ND3
Nice!. Will try to repeat it over here soon
