Elektron-Users

this is me trying to learn the mduw -- parts of it are fun, parts of it are crap. =) i wanted to post this because its derived from just a few sounds: 4 md drum sounds (TRX) (16 steps) in a really simple beat and a really simple mono patern (16 steps). I was pretty siked about the fact that this simple set up turned into some weirdness. basically, i kept "ping ponging" the beat by going back and forth from r1, r2 and p1, p2 ram machines. -M

Some experiments with reversing samples.

I just had to share this one :-D

MD running through Sherman Filterbank. Careful with the volume. The last couple minutes is just me mucking around with that oh so lovely feedback UW users experience when using a recent OS and RAM machines. This time it had some purpose I guess. When the feedback hits, everything after that is all Filterbank. The first few bars are dry for some comparison.

no samples, just pure RAM... :-x

a ten-minute outtake from a jam session with reset (lurker!). MD-UW through Sherman FB2 and a SH-101 through a Boss DD-3 (I think?).

Just UW but in a simple way!

MD-UW w/ x0xb0x. Ram machine used to good effect. Mute, pattern changes, tweaks live. listen?

Monomachine only song straight to multitracker, no efx added.

This is a composite of two passes. The left channel is an impulse on quarter notes at 120 BPM, with all other tracks muted. The right channel is the same impulse track, but with all other tracks unmuted and their mix volumes turned to zero. I wanted to see if there would be a difference. Both passes were recorded to a Sony HiMD MZ-RH1. While I concur with David that a DAW is an acceptable means to capture and present sample-accurate recordings, I have opted to use a dedicated, realtime recording device to address concerns voiced by Nathan and others. Here are the first six peak to peak measurements. 1 to 2: 22016 2 to 3: 22112 3 to 4: 22016 4 to 5: 22048 5 to 6: 22112 6 to 7: 22016 ... You can follow the rest by opening up the wave file in your DAW. There appears to be a periodic fluctuation, but in the first six peaks, it's less than a millisecond at 96 samples. I'm not really concerned about the "musical" effect this entails, but I don't think these numbers are as extreme as the ones David has reported. David, what say you? The right channel, which was recorded with other tracks unmuted, but mixed to silence, is very interesting. You'll note that the first peak lines up exactly with the left channel, but they're all over the place, relatively speaking, after that!

First MD-UW track.

A track from MD-UW. Just muting things in and out.
