Haha 
it’s not that easy under one hour…
That was excellent! Thanks for partaking!
Yeah, I’m certainly not planning on doing that within one hour challenge I can’t even get my engines running within that time.
How’d you do that stop action in the track?
Done!
Under one hour, no resampling. Digitakt only.
Very messy - and quite long - it’s just one take of messing around with two patterns.

Woohoo! Thanks for playing, Simon!
Edit: that was lovely! Thanks for sharing!
@Ryan yes one hour is a tough challenge. But really fun. I usually spend more time with OT and it feels like one hour. That stop action was simply stopping and starting the sequence. Cool challenge but this one hour limit is crazy when sculpting sounds. This 1 hour felt like 20 minutes. It has something to do with timetravel…
@Ess cool track. How is DT with realtime morfing? I mean can you achieve some similar trickery like with a fader on OT?

I think the idea originated(for me) in the cowbell challange where a guy was only going to spend 20 minutes on his track.
I didn’t want to ask anyone to be THAT Ninja. An hour seemed hard enough.
Stopping and starting the sequence! That’s insane! Like Elektron parkour to me
Hahah! Elektron parkour! I used to breakdance for 13 years

Hah, just checked the time stamps, I made the whole thing in 28 minutes. 
Sort of, the ctrl-al trick can be used for some neat drastic changes. Not morphing per se though.

Just go and jam away. Set the alarm after 1 hour. Then record it and that’s it

Damn… you’re making a solid case for buying the DT…
I swore I was going to try to focus on my savings, but we’ll see…

haha Just give in already man!
Cracking tune @Ess really looking forward to delving into things when my DT arrives
I just bought a NordDrum3p and an AR. The deals kept coming and I kept saying yes! Now I’m staring at my bank account in suspense.
So maybe in 6 months.
I know if I ever get another OP-1 I’ll definitely have to pair it with the DT for a nice Tiny Desk Symphony
BTW: anybody wanna buy a MDUW+

I dont think I could give the OP-1 another go. But I’m keyboardless right now - has got me thinking that a future purchase will be needed at some point. Do I go with Kontrol for DAW purposes or think “fck it” and go for a simple hardware synth… Now thats for another day!
Will hopefully find the time to give this challenge a go soon.
Allright… Here it is. I unpacked the thing (DigiTakt) this afternoon, couldnt resist… Sat down with it one hour (and 20 minutes) ago and made this with that one sample. Ugh… difficult with a machine under your fingers you hardly know. Well it was fun, challenging and educational. Recorded only one take… enjoy!
