Tuesday 18th June - Hypnotic Techno
Just the Syntakt on it’s own, polyrhythms, generative patterns and some LFO action
This is the beginnings I suspect for a bigger more ambitious track, it comprises of three tracks only and there are 9 others I could be using but do we always need to make use of every single track?
The Kick Drum is analog and tweaked a little bit to give it some punch and grit.Then there is the Dual VCO on track 11, I think it was and a bass on track 5. Track 11 is set to 6 steps only, whereas all other tracks are divisible by four in length. This creates a polyrhythmic effect and the notes are all assigned different trigger probabilities and a generative feel.
All very simple until I add some LFO on the Filter Decay and Filter Frequency for track 11, altering the depth parameter, creates a cutting filter that lashes straight through the fix. Love that!
I’ve added judicious quantities of delay and reverb of course, to spice it up and fill the gaps in each measure.
Love this Nick
