Hit The Ground Running

I'm trying out this microKORG, got it so I can take it places since it has a battery compartment. Fun fun!

This is a patch I made, if you want it, teach me how to dump patches lol.

Equipment Used:
Korg microKorg - Synth

Some shimmer reverb

microKORG Ambient #1

Another crusty crunchy cassette dubby house track.

akai ax80 - gentle pianoy sounds
roland jd800 - brass leadish

alesis 3630, dbx 166 - drum compression
yamaha r1000 - bass reverb
alesis midiverb ii - jx3p reverb

squarp pyramid mk ii - sequencing

So tired out, so have some mildly delirious technoy shit. It's just Reface DX into some distortion and verb, then of course some sidechained delay/reverb for everything. Super cool.

Volca drum for drums.

Aquatic Ambience from DKC. This isn't a full one-to-one cover, but it's pretty close. More or less adapted directly from the 8-bit Music Theory transcription.

Maybe my Roland D-05? Idk

Aquatic Ambience

A cover of the most iconic arcade system from the 90s, the Neo Geo.

Got my hands on the Artiuria MicroFreak a few weeks ago.  This is the first track I've put out so far.  A return to my breakbeat roots.

"Dirty Basement" by 76

first house jam with the tr-8s

TR-8s House Jam

plinkyplonk

This is a kinda chill weird synthwavey, lofi hip hoppy, housey mess of a track. Recorded to tape at slower speed with DBX on, then played back with DBX off. Quite a lot of fun!


In this one, the Rytm handles well, rhythm mostly. Though it does also do some nice brassy melodic lines towards the end. An interesting note here is that I started the whole thing because I found a whole host of weird drum loops with various genre names on em, all rated at 75 bpm. But, these all sounded like fairlight raw samples, pitched up a full octave. But, they're 75 bpm fast, so at roughly normal drum sounds it's like 50 bpm hahaha. I messed with things a lot to get that weird shuffling feel going quite well. Almost makes the true meter of the song kinda hidden!


Then, the Manther handles the bass on this one as well as providing CV to plaits for the weird chords. Manther is run through my Tascam GS-30 guitar amp simulator for EQ and saturation. I'm quite proud of the high pass sweep I get somewhere in the later half of the song on the bass, that's one of my favorite things to do heh.


Finally, we have the Microfreak and Model D. The Microfreak is running an arpeggio and sending MIDI to the Model D, and both are fed into the eurorack. Model D gets mixed with the Plaits chord signal, then run through antiphon and lil erebus for stereo filtering. That all goes through Clouds, then through the Dreadbox Hypnosis for chorus, delay, and reverb. Finally, the Hypnosis sends out to my DBX 900 rack for side-chained compression from the kick using two Aphex Expressor modules.


Everything mixed and mastered in REAPER with Trash 2,  Ozone, Supercharger, and some stock REAPER plugins (REAEQ). This one was a lot of fun!!!

Identity Statement

Alright, have another weird little acid jam. This one I wanted to make a little more sinister so I gave it a good and hard go! There's a video for this as per usual, but I'll probably finish it tomorrow night lol.

I'm back bitches!

I post a lot of music here, sometimes slightly under-done stuff. Check back every now and then if you like a track, cause there's a good chance that a day after I put it up I will have already replaced the original file lol.
