Buzz is amazing. I haven't used it in years, but it was my main weapon for a while. I am considering eventually switching to a pyramid(or a cirklon) for sequencing for better polyphony support, but I think I would still end up using the sequencer on the OT to do OT stuff. Right now I am just trying to stretch the OT as far as I can, even though it can't handle overlapping notes properly on one track, makes my prophet 12 sad.

honestly, you're probably better off using Renoise, or if you want to get oldskool (and want something free) and only use samples, something like MilkyTracker. I can understand the novelty factor of using something RDJ used, but trackers are trackers, when you use them to sequence samples. I love renoise, and i have come VERY close to emulating the drukqs beat-style and techniques using synth samples, drum samples, renoise and a few effects. I wouldn't dream of actually using that old piece of software for serious shit (I can't really use computers for music in general now anyways). It's mostly a curiosity thing. Especially richard's comment about creating some of the DSP algorithms for it and that it had some really unique features. Just wondering if there's anything that makes it special besides your standard tracker.

Damn! that's actually pretty cool. I didn't know that the volca did that. I did know you could do some start point/break chopping stuff on them though. Octatrack is my main sequencer, so I haven't really looked at whats needed to control it externally, that's good to know though. This has actually inspired me to check out another coveted piece of gear (or in this case software). Right now I am trying to compile playerpro tracker and poke around with it (richard used it to make drukqs).

I think I figured out it out. I found the sysex reference for the s6000 and apparently it's possible to control that was sysex. The QY700 can send exclusive messages directly inserted into the sequencer. (funny that modern sequencers don't have this ability, I can't find it on the cirklon, the pyramid, the octatrack...). I also think a lot of the effects were abusing the time stretch function on the s6000 in addition to the retrigger and starting point manipulation. It would be nice if a more modern sampler were made that could accept CC for all these parameters.

Yeah and I was completely wrong on here a few years back when I was adamant it was a 'buffer override' effect he used (well not completely wrong, the result is the same - just the method is different): What he does for those 'buffer' glitch samples you hear in GP,DYKS, Ultravisitor are actually samples being retriggered at a really rapid rate (presumably through the s6000) and then the sample start time is then modulated to slide through the loop I'm trying to research into this sampler but I can't find a way to do what you describe. (modulate the starting point of the sample)

thread seems to be missing but I'm guessing that's not true.

I always loved the vibe of exidy tours. Just that opening track sets the tone. One of his best albums. https://ceephax.bandcamp.com/track/plusion nordic house is another on that album https://ceephax.bandcamp.com/track/nordic-house then there are tracks that carry the same vibe but have beats, like vladijenk

it was a TC electronic 1210, I don't have the old comments backed up but it was in his comments on that track if you can track them down

he said it was plugins but it's being run through a tc electrics analog outboard box. The chorus sound, etc.

man of course richard has a fucking fairlight cmi

I just bought the whole collection on bandcamp. I'm really obsessed with the track Langelo. Lot's of other great tracks. Still getting into them. I like that Nansbilaef072015-help track.

Current favorites: la granja food chain magnate bora bora splendor pandemic legacy

Holy shit. I have so many questions. Sounds like JLIN on crack or a footwork dance competition. So mystifying to hear those sounds coming from an azerbaijani wedding band. Seen this before... maybe here??? I can't remember where I saw it first.

that's nice of him to do!

digging this, thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but here is an example of some break chopping stuff I was doing on the OT (I'm still sort of at the experimental stages of things) For the sort of drum roll sounds (well, besides what I naturally am getting out of the break samples), I make heavy use of retrigger and slide triggers. Slide triggers are SUPER useful, and you can get all kinds of crazy effects. It basically takes any parameter locks between the first trigger and the next (which can be a silent trigger if you want) and it morphs between them. I like using pitch, length, retrigger time, etc. Actually in this track I use retrigger time with slide triggers on the snare drum and I start messing with it more and more in further iterations of the pattern: EDIT: Also if you want to do ghost hits, you can use retrigger or, use the next trigger over and while you are holding the trigger you can use the left-right arrows to adjust timing offset to the left so that it hits immediately after(whatever you want really), adding a p-lock in will let you change the volume/pitch/filter/slice/len/whatever a little bit on the second hit. This offset is also how to accomplish triplets without changing the grid. (similar to using a tracker with delaying a certain number of ticks to accomplish triplets). EDIT2: another trick I found is that the time stretch single drum hits kind of sucks so sometimes you can get a little ghost-hit/fill effect if you crank it up.

I wouldn't necessarily say this is new or old based on the style of the track. It doesn't really sound like any of his other tracks. Recording is clean though.

Well they have that little magic gun that repairs skin and such. But if they get burned alive, like they did maeve after she burned herself alive, they get a full rebuild besides their brain. At least that's what I picked up. That's how her spine got modified. They get molded into body. Especially a main actor like maeve they have mold ready to go to rebuild her body from the white goo. C'mon man it's scifi have a little fun.

I've got something similar, got second axoloti on the way. OT + Bassstation II + axoloti/axocontrol for synth + axoloti w/ case for fx + effects unit + compressor + mixer + prophet 12(newest purchase!!!!!!!!). That's the setup I'm aiming for at the moment. I also really want an old eventide DSP unit like you suggest? Are we twins? I want to build a stupid diagram like you have above.

I'm sure you can find one. I got mine off craigslist for like $900. Check ebay. I know a local store (portland OR) that has them in stock too.

Do it acid1! It's like a tracker but in hardware form! I dropped all computers after getting mine (was not planned, just happened).

Currently trying to figure out what to replace my tetra with. I absolutely hate working with it now that I removed all computers from my setup. Part if me is thinking minilogue, part of me is thinking jump up to an A4(but it's so much MORE than a poly synth and I think I need a poly analog somewhere in the chain), and then part of me is thinking, wait, I love how this thing sounds, give me a a prophet 6 desktop module. What I should really just do is use what I have until I run out of creativity, because my setup is totally fine right now.

I think we'll get something big in a year or so. I get the feeling he's going to take his time with whatever the new ambitious album will be. Meanwhile putting out other things like older tracks and side projects. I'm going to say 1-2 more side things, then a new album?

haha nice I've been really into aux 88 lately. Nice to see he's digging on that too.

what is your favorite app for making drum sounds and drum loops? I was thinking about getting an ipad for on-the-go loop creation. I would like to be able to make high quality, unique drum sounds and be able to get the audio loops back later so I can chop them up in renoise later. My workflow right now is very sit-down oriented and the one thing I lack is percussion sounds and loops. I've got all my synths hooked up through hardware, got all the effects and arrangement and all the shit I want down. But I don't have a convenient drum workflow besides opening up a shitty sample pack of drum machine samples.
