Learning the Octatrack and Deckards at the same time
spent best part of the day in the studio. playing, recording and video editing
here’s a little tribute
if anyone wants to get into eurorack
Ive been fighting with a 3rd party software who’s API sucks - trying to move about 16million records of data. Not fun LOL yay ssis
I’ve been making patches on the Peak on and off for weeks now. Lots of percussion (full TR-x0x type kits etc - three tuned square waves plus noise gets some pretty good hihats) but also pads, keys, monosynth sounds, etc.
Most recently have been coming up with some arp sounds, adding the internal fx, and anything I like I record into my phone (using a Roland Go:Mixer) for future reference.
Here’s an example that’s a link because I can’t get it to embed properly.
A4 and AR control each others performance macros via midi - this way they feel even more like one to me
Garageband is amazing. I use it for getting ideas down all the time, it’s so fast.
Also, the default 808 kit actually kind of slaps.
yeah perfect workflow for me. really fun. and the first ios piano roll I can handle
Wow! Quite inspiring to see all of this unfold just within the past day or so. I’ve been sick at home these past few days but when I recover I’ll be sure to try to get more stuff done. Planning for a new gig with PO-3x series units and a delay pedal, need to get cracking with it!
thanks
lots of nice things to watch and listen to
Reminds me of -
That album has always been near the top of my list of “greatest album titles ever” (right after Cassandra Complex’s Satan, Bugs Bunny, and Me).
I have to admit to being a bit of a sucker for that kind of sound - and I still listen to plenty of 80s Wax Trax - Ministry’s Twitch and the first couple of My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult records still get played quite a bit in my household.
More eurorack on Kickstarter
Made some evolving loops (filters/lfo stuff) in ableton of my mother into a sort of arrangement and played a drone along with it. Tryna get around only having one mother voice rn
Went a little crazy but some good textures
Listen to synthy by .kerrigan #np on #SoundCloud
90´s inspired acid techno track with vocals from a friend.
So much cool stuff, this thread is the best!!
I recorded a lil video yesterday, Rytm MKI with only wavetables, no analog synthesis.
It also features a fun little visual program I wrote for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance a few years ago.
This sounds and looks awesome!
Also thanks @Nevets for that synth sample, definitely going to try something with it
Here is my last attempt at generative music on the DT :
And I just made a carrot cake, it’s pretty good
That sounds like a healthy cake
I will share some more bits and pieces, I’m surprised people like it haha.
Love that generative track btw. You got a nice vibe going on there. Digging it.
Been using loopback for some time as well, it opens up the box a lot. I secretly hope there will be a toggle in the settings to enable loopback without a cable
Have you dabbled in controlling some lfo with another lfo thats controlled by another? I like doing this on the Monomachine. But that beast has 3 lfo’s per track. It’s very nice for subtle or not so subtle changes. Still the loopback gives us 8 more lfo’s and 8 more sequencer tracks we can chuck full of trigless-trigs. I also use the midi sequencer tracks to modify the global fx parameters and other things we can’t p-lock on the audio channels itself but are controllable by cc. I could rave on and on about this little box. I know bigger boxes can do more but there’s something about this form factor that just appeals to me on a level I can’t really explain. Conditional program changes are also so nice.
tl;dr loopback rocks
