@logreybeam: if this song were an animal it would be a drunken chain smoking snake - slippery and lethal
@Planet Bliss: yay for metronomes on cell phones!
@dcomm: thanks. perhaps one day that will happen.
@dcomm: no but you can use it to control just about anything via the midi out
love that swell
@CalicoLeaf: indeed. theres alot behind this little percussion bit that i didnt include ;)
@diazo: no problem. that little drum synth is worth EVERY penny
@diazo: http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD024
@dcomm: no. but you can have it send midi out to whatever you wish... it can drive battery for example.
oooo there we go.
@rayspark-industries: I've had it for almost two years now. I've never regretted buying it. ironically, its the first piece of actual synth hardware (but not the last) i ever bought.
@rayspark-industries: the best tracks usually only take one night.
oooo there IT is... this part is awesome. especially the panning
@rayspark-industries: if i remember correctly its NI's pro-53...
@rayspark-industries: ooo that is an excellent idea. thanks!
@proem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korg_Wavestation
@quoth: i doubt that. the wavestation was used to a great extent by FSOL orbital,... and well apple (as in the boot sound for osx)
@quoth: I'm sure clavia makes excellent stuff but the wavestation is and always has been the holy grail of hardware for me ever since i touched one back in the mid 90's
@bitcrush: you are welcome. i pretty much have to use a metronome cuz my internal clock is set to "unconventional and sliding time signatures"... fortunately i have one on my phone.
@SenorFrio: yep. can even route the two seperate inputs into different parts of the effects chain
@quoth: face melting eh? is that what im doing? i had no idea
@SenorFrio: oh wait i guess you meant the efx running onthe line ins yes?
@SenorFrio: well actually this is not a wavestation its a real kalimba recorded with a contact mic
@SLEEP CLINIC: you're welcome! and long live the wavestation indeed... expect some variations of this patch to show up soon :)
@m50: who says i cant have three middle names?
@tenandtracer: thanks. full and warm thats my middle name... well as far as the ladies are concerned wait that doesnt sound quite right,... forget i said everythign after thanks
sounds pretty done to me... maybe some minor edits here and there... but overal i'd say fantastic work. reminds me in part of something off of incunabula
nice percussion programming... sounds are nice and clean as well which is always nice
that has a really nice old school artificial intelligence sound to it
@Ghost Monkey: werd. i bought the multisampled hang from sonic couture as well. i totally agree about the quality.
ooooo bring that in earlier please
@magnetic Sleep: i'd say not by much
mmmm hang drum
is it real? or multisampled... if you say real i will stab myself in the arm
full of analog sounding goodness
omg you are making the old rave kids go crazy!!!!! obligatory filter sweep fo your asssssss
is that a vocoder? nice wrapped in NICE
ooooo thats a nice beat
excellent. you just let me know where and when this proposed thing drops and i will buy and then commence to slurp it up like a cold 7-11 slurpie on hot summer day
@deceptikon: yeah ive got one coming in february. though its mostly dark spooky ambient stuff
you should really take this track and a couple from above and put together a dubby ep/lp or something. you know. for the weed smokers
