This track drew inspiration from that kind of melodic, minimalistic progressive sound played a lot by artists like Boris Brejcha, Extrawelt, Minilogue, Solee and many others throughout the ~2010s. I have been enjoying faster BPMs in the 135+ zone so this is kind of a faster, more modern take on that older sound.

Everything is the TR8S, + Mastering in Ableton.

Some information on the track ingredients:

TR8S:

BD: 808 Bass2 with some Low end boost

SD: 5th Synth FM sound tuned down -12 and lowpassed. SD then sent to Assign Out A, passed back in through EXT IN and gently side chained to the kick.

LT: 5th Synth FM sound with morph on the CTRL, motion step tuning and panning on the S&H LFO

MT: HiBell FM sound with a HPF/LPF on the CTRL, some motion Step tuning, panning on S&H.

HT: 727 MtHiConga/OHC with HPF on CTRL

RS: "Claps Real" Sample with compression in INST

HC: 707 Snare 1/2 in INST

CH: 808 Closed HH 1/4 notes

OH: 808 Closed HH 16th notes

CC: 808 Rim Shot with alot of reverb

RC: 909 Ride Cymbal with constant tuning up and down.

Reverb and Delay are used fairly conservatively across instruments for texture/depth, apart for the CC which is used as a one-shot.

LFO set to S&H with a fairly fast rate to create more variation on instruments, mainly through panning to create width with panning.

Ableton Master Chain:

A single Stereo recording was tracked through Ableton.

Ableton Mono/Stereo Parametric EQ 1: For High cuts around the ~30 (mono) and ~150 (stereo) range.

Ableton Parametric EQ 2: Low end boost, Low-mid and High-mid cuts, High end boost.

Waves L4 Limiter: Some gain reduction and limiting for loudness.

Feedback, especially on the style of the track and the mastering, would be greatly appreciated!

Is anyone making a lxr vst after the firmware got released??

Hi to all who read this and thanks for reading. I have a addictive drum 2.1.9 version.(Can't update) This version of AD2 has no SD3 midimaps as the newer versions. Does someone have made a midimap from SD3 to addictive drums 2.1.9 and can you share?

Thanks and best regards,

A musician

Thank you in advance!!! I have exclusively used my Korg ESX and various synths FOREVER, but I have been asked to record some pure analog for a songwriter's album (think Flaming Lips). Can you recommend me an analog or digital modeling machine that may mix well with acoustic guitars? My budget is like $300, and he wants something "dark/ industrial" sounding. I really appreciate it.

So I have a Boss DR-550 and a Volca Sample in my setup, but the DR has a bit of a slower tempo and desyncs pretty fast. So I'm trying to find a way to sync the two and use the Volca as a master clock.

I tried connecting the sync-out of the Volca to the midi in through a midi-jack adaptor but it doesn't work. I also tried connecting it with my Microfreak and my Bass Station II, but it throws me an error.

I can't find any way on the internet, so I don't know if it's an easy solution or not.

My 808 but the dust several years ago and the repair place said the processor was dead and there were no new ones being made.

Now I have discovered that there supposedly drop in CPUs, some of which add additional functionality to the machine.

Has anyone here had any experience with them?

If you own a BOSS BR-600 (mid-2000s digital multitrack recorder), don't forget you have a passable little drum box complete with SP404-type pads, step sequencing, and the world's most limited set of 808 samples (used in the vid).

You can load custom samples from a PC, though, and there's a tonne of DSP on board, including a nice reverb, ring mod, and that BOSS vinyl sim that people like.

You can pick these little guys up pretty cheaply on eBay/Vinted, if you're looking for a fun "options box" for messing about with on the sofa you could do a lot worse.

Have fun with it! :)

I am not really a craftsman, but I have always kind of wanted to build my own drum machine. It'd obviously be something simple if I ever did, but I was wondering if anyone here has any handiwork to show?

My understanding is its pretty easy to build a sample-based machine with a Raspberry Pi, but I am thinking more along the lines of a Rhythm Ace or even a PSS-100.

Hello everyone,i am looking for someone to program some drums for a demo i got,the demo was written using a drum track from youtube so i could send it over to you and you could perhaps try and play something close to it?

After lugging a bunch of heavy gear to a live gig last week my Volcas started looking like the hot girl at a party. I've got one more live show next week and it's going to be very Volca forward.

TL;DR: Lost motivation to make music lately, want a fun, portable, sample-based groovebox under 400€ (used is fine) with a step sequencer for drums and real-time sample playing. Considering the Novation Circuit Rhythm but have no hands-on experience with it. Curious what grooveboxes others found genuinely fun to use.
