OK peeps, it’s back to work 
Time for a new synth Science-lab, with two analog machines: BD Sharp & BD Classic. Both seemingly a bit limited, but I trust you to bend them in your usual fashion!
The usual:

Have fun!
These are two that I’ve barely ever touched! I’m pretty keen on Silky. Hopefully I’ll get some time this week to really dig in. These analog challenges in particular are pretty interesting to me with the limited tracks.
This is my first SSL, hope I didn’t break any rules I really liked the experience and will likely try the old ones too, in time 
The main idea is to try to use the fastest trigs the machine can do, so the track starts at 300 BPM, with tracks 9 and 11 using 2x scale.
Track 9: BD Classic used for more melodic duties with one trig sending to delay and LFO retrig disabled for most trigs (and trig probability). The delay has a very high feedback, so this track creates the main atmosphere.
Track 10: BD Sharp used for kick and a higher toned perc hit. I tried for the longest time to do anything else with Sharp, but it likes neither long notes nor melodic duties 
The best I could do was pretty decent water droplets, but that was mostly filter and I abandoned that idea.
Track 11: BD Classic is atmosphere support - sweep depth is rising and falling to add some crunchiness and variety to the pattern sound.
Song mode is used to first play the pattern without kick/perc and then with that. After the kick/perc played a few times, I gradually reduce the BPM from 300 to 30 by hand and then stop. I guess it turned out to be 50% FX 50% BD lab, but oh well

Some 70’s alien planet sci-fi movie vibes here. Right on!
Nice! An unexpected and fresh sound spectrum.
Welcome to the labs
Quick go, first a track of BD Classic, then a BD Sharp. Most of the action in the FX block. Recorded via TV, this time.
One BD Classic with Keytracked FM and S&H shelving filter with high resonance into FX track with filter pan modulation and some p-locked delay and verb. Some live tweaking of sweep time and decay. For science!
Three tracks of BD Sharp given the melodic treatment.
Two triangles and a square.
And classic track all goofing with three tracks of BD Classic.
One more dancey thing with a bunch of P-locks for rhythm and a bass sound I like.
Sorry if things are overblown and crunchy. I’ve got the MPC Sample at the end of chain and I’m still figuring out levels.
Was inspired to do some Raster-Noton-y stuff with these analog BD machines:
2 tracks of BD Classic (beeps & drone)
1 track of BD Sharp (clicks)
Away from a proper stereo / phones atm, looking forward to checking all of these out!
3 tracks of the classic, FX track conditional trigless trigs with verb automation
Another 3 tracks, slow acid. T1 drums with classic, T2 is acid line with sharp and T3 is the pad (claasic) running through a lot of FX track, resonance and verb. Also T1 is triggering the FX track with negative envelope to duck T3.
Lovely! So much variety from these «simple kicks» 
3x BD Sharp. It’s a surprisingly basic but very good sounding analog mono synth really. Bit of FX track filter pan action on the melodic parts.
Another BD Sharp triple but with some keytracked FM fun stuff. Probably could go in the Blawan section as well 
That first one is quite beautiful 
Thanks ^^
I lost all my SSL21 patterns this morning 
I was just ready to record, and noticed that a sound lock had been replaced in many patterns. Tried to replace it manually, but some of the patterns still sounded off. I then reloaded the project, but the state that loaded must have been a couple of weeks old 
Not the end of the world but still disappointing 
Had to start with something new to cool off. Here’s a rehash of an old SSL pattern, sounds replaced with 3x BD Sharp producing some rhythmic chords. Nothing special, just tweaking a single pattern. Some FX track trigless trigs controling filter cutoff.
And that’s why I never use sound locks! Too much overhead
All jokes aside though, it always really sucks losing work. I had an accidental func no recently as well, but that was just one pattern.
I like how this sounds though, nice and ominous!
Thanks
I’ve never had that behaviour before so I was a bit puzzled. Basically all sound locks that referred to slot 1 were replaced by slot 2 
If Transfer was working on my mac I would have exported the project before reloading, but I’m waiting for the last bits to set up my new mac before I can use Transfer again.
Lost around 30 patterns… oh well. BD Sharp and classic have some very nice potential, so I’m churning on
