I’m new to techno and I’ve started to upload jam on soundcloud. Here is something I did this morning with Syntakt, Digitakt and A4
After years of playing music in a lot of genra, I’ve decided to embrace my love for the 4 to the floor and try to stop overthink every little choice, avoid edit and multitracking
This one came straight from the moment - pure spontaneity, driven by the joy of creating. The hour passed in a flash. Unlike most sessions, this one was just for me - private, personal, and completely unfiltered. What came out truly surprised me, and I loved it. Now, I can’t wait to dive deeper into this direction. Hope you enjoy the sound!
Listened to the first part during a workout. Enjoying it. What gear and setup did you use?
I’ve used small modular system and Analog Rytm 
Really enjoyed watching this

Been out of action for some months, getting back in the saddle and enjoying a wee jam this afternoon….
I’m trying to record one jam per week. Here is the last one.
I started folowing you 2 days ago on YT. Really nice. I had a million questions. bravo
Thankssss =)
First post in this thread… I have been playing with the idea of live electro/techno improvisation for some time, gradually extending the length of my sessions. These days I feel quite confident improvising up to 40 minutes, and my goal is to manage keeping things interesting for about an hour (at least for myself)…
I use a slightly modfied Techno System (with Perkons Voice), Swarm, Elmyra 2, and a Wirehead Basilisk. Everything is mixed in the Erica case and then goes through through a couple of Elysia modules (for low end and the transient taming, as well as a bit of compression and saturation). I record directly into a Zoom F3 and use Audacity only for normalization.
The case is pre-patched, but I always start from an empty pattern, and everything is sequenced on the fly (that’s why things tend to evolve quite slowly). I also normally stay within the same pattern for the entire session.
As the tracks are not been arranged or mixed post-recording, all mistakes, wrong decisions and dead-ends are still there, but I think that this is part of the learning process.
Apologies for this long post - I felt the need to provide a bit of background before exposing myself beyond the “current sounds” thread…
Here is one of my first longer improvisations:
Once again, the heat has been brought! What is that little box with the red buttons?
Thanks 
- that little box is the D-Thing (DFAM Thing) it enables you to sequence the DFAM is many different ways.
Some impro techno del moi, with Buchla dt2 htfx 
Seems like a well-thought-out system.
I don’t have modular gear, but I wonder if that’s the direction I’m pointed with my system-as-an-instrument approach.
I’m starting to use CV between my machines to pass pitch info so I can play harmonically if I want to, and I’m using three sequencers to drive my setup: DT for drums, DB-01 for bass, and a Keystep Pro. the KSP controls a sequence/arp track routed to a Virus, and sends the pitch CV from that same track to the DB-01 that otherwise sequences itself as well (the DB would be playing nothing but randomized C1-C1-C1-C1 patterns except that now its pitches are dictated by CV offsets of the Keystep and it keeps everything tethered to a given chord.)
Now I’m exploring routing all audio through the Virus inputs and using a midi track on the Digitakt to send CC per step messages to the Virus for param locks on the effects bus.
Feels like modular without all the costs and benefits that implies. I see where this is going… shopping for an advanced midi router now god help me…
Love this!
Sounds nice! Definitely flows for the full amount of time, and has plenty of interesting sounds. Nice!
Wow, thank you so much for your feedback - it means a lot to me!
