https://sp-forums.com/posting.php?mode=edit&f=15&p=180257
Made on a Roland SP-505. Description of process and sample sources in above link posts.

Heavy processed some theme music (resampled a few times and duplicated/reversed resampled w fx few times etc to build the pad in beginning and throughout) Kept main pad element stereo and most other things mono. Sounds good in headphones! Isolated drums- used iconic "wild thing rap" roll from John Candy movie and shortened it - made a hi-hat pair with some sound that was a drum or something- lots of octave/amp/vinyl sim/etc on everything. Used a metronome to match BPM and make guitar and bass loops w Orange amp drive/Strat/Kay bass, JamMan Delay for loop and delay then rec those in to 505. Used 3 patterns total- used mutes and switched patterns manually- ended up with couple of "mistakes" that worked like the guitar chops and doubled guitar w phased sound. Only took 2 takes! Recorded live take to a Zoom recorder then over to computer for a mastering compressor render in Reaper. Was trying for something more textural and dark. Had to really pause early on bc I was just chopping things out and processing and not really keeping my eye on a goal/idea. Feels like making textural/drone/warbly/Boards Of Canada type sounds is just a bit harder on the 505- I am still getting used to it. Oh- many sounds and the mix were very bass/low heavy/muddy- I used live EQ fx on guitar, drums and was a game changer getting a better mix for live take.
Had fun!
