    If you had a Machinedrum would you have bought the LXR??

     

    I forget how deep the MD is at times and  if you dig deeper there are huge possibilities. Sometimes too much for my brain and I use it for more mundane percussion duties than it deserves at times.

     

    I initially GASSED for the Perkons HD and then it passed when I realised it has more in common with the MD than the Pulsar 23 that people tended to compare it against. That comparison is more to do with form factor than sound ability imo. 
     

    anyway, I like the look and sound of the LXR but not sure it overlaps what I already have.

    LXR mk1 had step probability way before Elektron implemented trig conditions in Analogs and OT (except MD and MM)

    From user18081971 soundcloud:

    -
    Richard mentioned an idea he had about something like a giant brain that you could feed samples to. If you gave it enough, it would be able to take all the right bits to recreate a new sound you fed it. We talked it through a bit, I remember asking that surely something like this had been done before, and he said: "well probably, but not quite like this". A few sketches and prototypes later we started putting entire tracks through it to see how it interpreted them using different random instruments and sounds - and we knew we were on to something...Dave.
    ---
    This idea came about a long time ago, not sure exactly when, 2002 ish
    but when mp3's started to become a thing, when for the first time there
    were a ton of them sitting on my hard drive and the brilliant Shazam had
    recently launched.

    Started thinking hmm all this music sitting there, maybe it can be used
    for something else other than just playing or dj'ing [hi Atomixmp3 &
    rudimentary max/msp patches]
    I had originally contacted the founders of Shazam to discuss further
    creative uses of their genius idea but they were busy making an
    automatic dj program, I still think Shazam could be re-purposed for
    something incredible but in the meantime we have Samplebrain.

    What if you could reconstruct source audio from a selection of other
    mp3's/audio on your computer?
    What if you could build a 303 riff from only a cappella's or bubbling mud sounds?
    What if you could sing a silly tune and rebuild it from classical music files?

    You can do this with Samplebrain.
    We soon realised after Dave had started to get
    things going that with a few cheaty sliders you could actually re-make
    anything from just one source file, so the options are all there to play
    with.
    Since funding this project I seemed to have found very little time to
    explore it properly and the time has now come to let you lot have a
    fiddle with it to.
    Richard James.

    Still reeling from the disclosure that a whole bunch of Quaristice trax (rale, fol3, fwzE and WNSN) were made using Renoise cause Sean didn't have a proper studio set up at the time.

    Untitled sounds the way it does (aggro? intense?) because Sean had had a turbulent couple of years beforehand with family deaths and relationship breakdowns.

    Some great little pieces of insight again.

    not fwzE though, i think he said fol3 and fol4

    fwzE and it's buffer repeater stuff sounds more like Rob's experiments with NM G2 delay modules and i think bladelores/all end huge reverb was derived from it, kind off. You can do full on reverb topologies in G2 without using stock reverb module and it sounds just lush (iirc you can use bandpass filter module as allpass reverb section. same with G1 but with 2ms of memory you'll get only pretty decent resonator)

    btw its weird. i switched to renoise from jeskola buzz in 2008 and i always had this suspicion that Rale and WNSN where made in renoise.

    i could be wrong but i recall he said that he tried to use renoise to do remixes at first (surgeon and b12 remixes)

    not b12 but black dog remix though

    nah it's Sean 99.999%

    q: some time ago i stumbled upon symbolic sound's claim that you used kyma circa peel sessions 2 (because of that 'cephlaphage' sample in Blifil) and then i started to spot some kyma moments in ep7. how do you find their ecosystem in general? i saw rdj's take that everyone should throw their kymas through the window

    a: hilarious. there is a vocal sample in there but that's not it. i never much liked kyma (horrible nested structuring, but it did sound pretty nice). we used it on a few things (second half of left blank, the nightmares on wax remix and the bic remix), and i eventually gave it to daz fitton

    Sean said ts1a is 2009 too like track2 (not 2006)

    XH HX:
    actually i think you could be right, after i said fm7 i was wondering if it was fs1r or zebra but it could easily have been synplant, i don't have the files here to check
