    Linear vs Non-Linear way of making music

    in EKT General Discussion

    Posted

    I realize this adds very little to this thread but I've achieved what I think is non random non linear by simply using multiple sequencers.

    A good example is MI Grids. Its a drum sequencer with 3 outs: Kick, snare, and hat. Its got a bunch of patterns programmed into it that you can sweep between. So take the kick and snare and route them to a kick and snare. But then take your hat and route it to a different sequencer's clock. Now this second sequencer has a non linear non random deterministic clock. Feed that to a bassline or something. As you mutate grids, the patterns for your kicks and snares and bassline will mutate and evolve. 

    Now multiple this concept to even more sequencers and logic modules.

    I finally got one these and so far I absolutely love it. It is very high quality in everything from the screen, chassis, key caps, travel case etc. Coming from Renoise/Nerdseq the learning curve hasn't been that bad. I never tried LSDJ before.

    The web display mode is defintely the most surprising feature I didn't know I wanted. I can work on music on the go, then plug it into my computers to charge/continue working on music in a browser.

    I'm surprised how well thought out the sampling feature is. Its pretty easy to record a loop of audio from my modular or anything which accepts MIDI. Also the slicing feature is completely genius. 

    The thing I am having a hard time wrapping my head around is song mode. Since phrases can have different lengths, getting things to line up and loop in the right order seems difficult unless I make all my phrases the same length (including empty patterns for "muted" tracks.

    NOT Coronavirus COVID-19

    Many of Florida’s largest school districts are finding it difficult because of the pandemic to hire enough bus drivers, with some using managers and other stop-gap measures to get students to class as the new school year begins.

    The Associated Press contacted most of the state’s 20 largest districts Monday and many said they have not been able to fully fill their openings, forcing some drivers to handle extra routes. Other districts are asking parents to drive their children to and from school when possible to reduce the numbers requiring busing or putting transportation department managers back behind the wheel.

    Florida has been hard hit by the resurgent COVID-19 pandemic, and that has likely scared off candidates for a job that can be stressful under normal circumstances. Many districts are not requiring masks on buses, but even districts that do are short drivers.

    I live in Florida in an area having a problem with schools and covid. It's completely crazy driving in the morning now as roads are packed with people driving their kids to school and no school buses in sight. Some people here are religious about their kids not wearing masks.

    the watmm GAS thread

    in EKT General Discussion

    Posted

    I just wrapped up some music and have been enjoying a GAS free year thus far and then by accident I stumbled upon that Behringer TD-3-MO-AM.

    I get it ... Behringer isn't the best company in the universe ethics wise, but the thought that I get to complete my teenage dream of having a Devilfish modded 303 with real analog circuitry for maybe half the cost of the Roland TB-03 is too much to pass up on.

    I also compartmentalize completing songs and playing with gear. If I want to finish shit I just need a laptop and some headphones. If I want to play around with gear, so be it, but usually nothing comes from those sessions.
