coming to poo poo this thread up with my attempts at generative krautrock

here's a 25 minute experiment where I let a pure data patch play random midi and alternate between different melodies, i tweaked the bass and drum parts later

also the key bit about synths and Live is that you got to record and build upon loops, once you get the hang of it then even a monophonic synth is not limiting you really.

are you talking about prerecorded stuff or live music ?

pre recorded yeah not a problem (outside of awkward way to bounce tracks)

like I wanna be able to play with some soft pads live

I fuckin love the bass station 2 tho: such a powerful synth for the size

biggest decision is whether pride or the image In going for in my mind allows for me to use a laptop with Live while playing live or not. because then I could use any midi keyboard and play any sound really. if not, i’d be relying on looping pedal and drum machine. gently caress in writing this I’ve just realised how incompatible a drum machine and a live looping pedal would be (at least an inexpensive one that can’t take a midi tempo input) :/

I have this pie in the sky idea of what I want to do, but it may be so unpossible


what do you mean “endless encoders”?

I was kinda thinking about that as a side use anyway

live music, like building up a track loop by loop

and you can always use your synth as polyphonic MIDI controller (meaning more notes than just one) with any number of VSTs or built in ableton live instruments


endless encoders means that you can just keep turning the knob forever in one direction - it's computing the value digitally so there is no restriction to a real world thing (i.e. how a guitar tone knob can only go so much)

actually, sorry for barging in on your thoughts like this, i dont really know whats your situation gear wise and what you even want to be able to do with music stuff

I like it




I got a Novation Circuit. It’s very fun. Will prob have to move the Bass Station II on, a shame because it sounds amazing but can’t afford to have a monosynth without a lot
of purpose. I connected it to the Circuit and used the circuit sequencer to drive the bass station and it sounds very good indeed..

Need to fiddle with the synths in the circuit to get some basic analog like sounds coz the built in patches are dumb

thanks

a life hack for mono synth is arpeggiator + delay effect. especially lush if you choose random arp mode in ableton. playing a chord with a beat delay and arp both set on 16th notes now means it sounds polyphonic in a way

actually yes, selling stuff is a good idea always. i have a pile of stuff in a corner that i want to get around to using again, but don't know when that will happen

Fornax Void recently released the final version of their Cyberspace Database album, you can listen for free a few times or buy the whole thing for as little as 1EUR. Not every track lands, but there's 55 of them and most of them are excellent background ambiance.

this sounds a lot like soundtracks for games i would definitely want to play, and yep this is very relaxing listening
thanks


also re-using this post to shill my this week's track which is actually a mini-mix
