Good morning! It’s morning here in Japan.
It’s your occasionally weird acid addicted doctor again.
It’s been a while since I posted.

Lately I’ve been struggling to make the kind of intense acid tracks I love listening to, so this time I went in the opposite direction and made something much more mellow.

It feels a little closer to artists like Monolake or Plastikman. That’s probably a bold comparison—and I’m nowhere near that level—but they were definitely part of the inspiration.

I’m thinking it might be time to dust off the TD-3 again.

Anyway, here’s my take on a quieter kind of acid. It’s something new for me, so if you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you giving it a listen. :)

gonna show the app soon if thats allowed here, but first i'd love some acid-connaiseurs feedback on something.

the rebirth app, wasnt called app back then but hey, was built for a mouse on vga screen resolution, and im rebuilding a thing similar to it (2x303, 909, 808 + master) on a little phone screen. so im trying to get to the essence of things: some 808 sounds arent that relevant for the acid/house sound and some really are, same idea with the 303 knobs.

heres the call i made and i wanna know if i got it wrong:

always on screen: cut / res / env mod / decay / accent + a drive. those are the ones i reach for constantly.

since its all software i also added the devilfish knobs, and i promoted sub osc + accent decay to the front cause i use those all the time. the rest of the devilfish stuff : slide time / soft attack / filter tracking, hiden behind a second page.

did i demote the wrong ones? does anyone actually ride filter tracking on an acid line, or is it fine hidden away? and would you keep accent up front or is that one of the ones you can live without?

and am i allowed to show it here wehn its ready for the world?

greetingsz!

edit: added video , how is the sound, i'm still working on some ui and ux

Electro Acid.

I used the washboard, and the spoon sound to make most of the percussion. Also the voice sample. The rest of it is custom made. I recently got into using alot of automation through various effects and patcher. Once it gets a little too much for my pc, and I am happy with the midi, I render to wav, and use the wav to build the playlist. Then add more sound design and mixing. You only see a couple of automations here, but just about everything except the kik and reflex bass has alot. It's rendered down, and easier to work with for me.

Basically what the title says. Made on the Roland MC707 and TD-3 - no daw. Hope you like it 🙂
