Took the challenge of reverse engineering this sound after researching its history. Originally produced by Iggy Pop in "Clubnighting" off his "Idiot" album, Trent Reznor then sampled and did some spatial work to the kick. He then used a snare from a TR-70 or what have you. The drum machine used by Iggy is still unknown all over the web, with some speculation it was a Roland drum machine. Upon trying many roland units to find the original kick and Trent's snare... I realized they all emulate what a TR-909 can already do... so first, kick drum with a type of tape delay of the kick with a fast delay setting, minimal feedback. Sampled from a TR-909. Next, compressed and eq to add thud punch and to cut all of the top end. Next, Trent used a very quick pre-delay send for added stereo space excitement on the kick. The emphasis for the send is to highlight darker frequencies, giving slightly more weight. You can use eq or a fliter to find a good spot.  Finally, a snare from a TR-909, compressed first, then distorted via ssl channel strip or soundtoy's decapitator plugin. Lastly, the snare gets sampled, filtered and gated... with the last secret ingredient being... you guessed it... a ring-modulator. And... SERVE.

Morph’s story…

Originally started in North NJ, but currently evolving on the Californian terrain. A previous filmmaking background can’t help but to inspire great sonic visuals, colliding into a colorful panorama of sound. Music is the story, and we’re here to tell it.

With Dream Pop influences, and Jazz fundamentals…
    Comes a story of embracing changes, evolutionary    
    mindsets, and the search for love. To live, is to 
    adapt. To adapt, is to Morph…
