Acid Feeder

an old school sounding number this time acid feeder named because of the F E E D A acid line
the tr707 is there for percussion and the tr606 is the main kick - recorded pretty hot to beef it up a bit

this one is on soundcloud too
with the rumours of OVI's demise I reckon soundcloud might be the go
plus its a good way of sharing with other music makers init
enjoy the acid

poly

this is another new acid track - this is a work in progress - trying to work multiple 303 lines and moving snare and toms around a big central kick, i think it might need another breakdown and need additional percussion to accentuate the cutoff rise on the 303 - enjoy

B Minor

this is 90% roland sh-101 - drums and hats from tr606
lots of big synth sounds - lots of harsh high bits
and lots of other analogue goodness
again using soundcloud for this one

G#A#BBA#

new acid track - bit of a long jam then sessioned it all into a track
tb303 and sh101 on synths
tr606 on drums
hc-2 on clapping

this one is on soundcloud

Minimal from SH101 (work in progress)

If you remember this post where I posted a short sh101 and tr606 jam.

I have now reworked the little remix I did into a track in progress.

In the days of Colin Dale I guess this would be called abstract dance now I just call it techno

Enjoy

TX Acid

this is the completed version of the track

new gear = new sounds

been going through the heaps of patches I have for the tx7 and the best way I reckon is to start a track
here is 24 bars of tx acid made exclusively of tx7 patches I have found on the net



this is a dx7 patch page I have been grabbing patches from

got some new gear

got some new gear this week-
i have picked up a yamaha tx7 the box version of the dx7 synth
looking forward to entering a new world of FM synthesis

also picked up a Roland D-110 sound module and a yamaha dd-5 drum module
hope to get bit of these into new tracks soon

Acid Chopper - work in progress

following on from the cut up cosm bassline technique this is the same technique used on a tb303 bassline
about 10 acid lines from the machine all different settings then cut in live and bussed
then the bus is eq'd and automated a lot

the noise is from the sh101 - warm pad noise rising and falling
enjoy

technique I picked up today - cosmism

i was watching some of tom cosm's videos today and came across this one on glitchy basslines http://www.vimeo.com/1682698 and decided to give it a bash

this is a short track put together using that technique and then digging into the glitchy bits and finding nice loops to extend out
all done in ableton live with operator for synth, drums and percussion



you can download this here

some minimal jam from sh101 and tr606

the tr606 and the sh101
the sh101 pattern/ sequencer is being run by the tr606 LT trigger out
so can alter pattern timing on the fly
enjoy bassy steppy thing
kinda old n minimal


and this one is with a download

done a little remix with it

which is downloadable too

Roland SH101, TB303 and TR606 Jam

haven't really felt like writing tunes so just been jamming out with the gear and tweaking away, added the roland sh101 to the mix with this jam, still all pretty much dry , a little adjustment of levels and eq in live and some ghetto mastering
enjoy


you can grab this here

just jamming

here is a little jam with the tb303 and the tr606
kinda live well apart from tb303 pattern which cant be live
but the tr606 has live edits and stuff
no effects - straight record and a bit of level correction
enjoy 10 minutes of afternoon jamming

808 Play - shortened and clean

got rid of some of the exciter and widening stuff going on
